Everton may already be looking ahead to what could be done in the January transfer market after a dismal start to the season.
Sean Dyche has a lot to work on over the international break having seen his Everton side put to the sword in their opening three games.
The latest defeat against Bournemouth was just the cherry on top of what had been a dreadful start to the campaign.
After the game, Seamus Coleman and James Tarkowski are believed to have addressed the Everton dressing room.
This comes following what seemed to be an effective summer window which is yet to really provide any real improvements.
And there could well be one player who could be set to leave the club in the upcoming January window after a difficult couple of months at Goodison Park.

The summer provided a lot of ups and downs during the pre-season for Everton with a mixed bag of results.
Dyche’s side ended the summer strong but the early stages of the pre-season conjured up a number of concerning results.
However, there were some players in those early games over the summer who made a real name for themselves.

One of those players to show some promising form in the early stages of the summer was the Portuguese forward Youssef Chermiti.
Dyche was left impressed with what he saw from Chermiti during the early stages of the pre-season.
But there has now been a suggestion from Chris Beesley that the 20-year-old could be loaned out in the January window.
“Chermiti is there, but he’s injured as well,” he said on the The Royal Blue Mersey YouTube channel.
“I wonder if he’ll now be loaned out in the second half of the season when he gets himself fit.”
Youssef Chermiti injury latest
Having netted twice in the opening pre-season friendly against Sligo Rovers, Chermiti then suffered an injury which has seen him sidelined ever since.
In early August, Chermiti underwent surgery on the foot issue which was picked up during training at Finch Farm.
No timeframe was put on his recovery, but it is clear this is a player who Everton need to find regular minutes for.
Across his 20 appearances, Chermiti has only played 253 minutes so returning to full fitness ahead of January is going to be crucial if he is to find himself somewhere to play regular minutes to continue his development.
