Phil Jagielka feels that Everton have learned from their past mistakes in the summer transfer window and will benefit with a better start to this new season.

Jags is relieved that Moyesy has been able to do the business with time to spare before the campaign begins, saying the squad will benefit from a lack of the uncertainty which troubled them in previous pre-seasons.

We know all about the past few seasons losing Our Tater and Roger then being bottom of the league after half a dozen games but Jags reckons this season will be different.

Jags said: 'We always seem to have an air of confidence, especially after the finish we had. But it was important whether we were going to do business, be it ins or outs, that it's done as soon as possible.'

'We've seen with Tim going that it was nice for him it was done quick enough. Naisy has come in and he looks like he's going to be a decent player for us.'

'Hopefully we can get a couple of more in and start the season with a squad rather than having it clouding over us, and wondering 'are we going to get him or lose him.'

'The club seem to have made a purposeful intent with the transfer market to get what we can in, obviously we haven't got a lot of money but get what we can in and get everyone familiar with each other.'

Let's hope you are right Jags.
