21 January 2007
Heading into hectic domestic and UEFA Cup campaigns, they have sealed only one major signing during the summer - £4million midfielder Phil Jagielka from Sheffield United, but Wyness has told supporters not to get too anxious.
He said: "Some transfer windows develop early, some develop late. We will have the bodies and the faces in before the start of the season. We are very active in a lot of things behind the scenes."
South Africa midfielder Steven Pienaar is following Jagielka to Goodison Park on a 12-month loan deal from Borussia Dortmund, subject to a work permit.
Pienaar, 25, moved to the Bundesliga from Ajax in 2006 and has made 25 appearances for the club.
He signed a three-year deal with Dortmund, taking the number 10 shirt vacated by Arsenal-bound Tomas Rosicky.
Wyness is mindful of the need for strength in depth and believes the Premier League will be tougher than ever next season.
He said: "It is going to be an exciting season and probably the most competitive season in the league's history. A lot of clubs have strengthened in different ways with new ownership."
