It was a summer transfer window of highs and lows for Bournemouth fans with top, first-team players leaving but promising talent coming in as replacements.
Plus, it was also the first transfer window for Bournemouth under new Football Operations President Tiago Pinto after long-time club servant Richard Hughes left the club for Liverpool.
As for the players, last season's top goalscorer, Dominic Solanke, departed for a club-record fee of PS65m to Tottenham, whilst defender, Lloyd Kelly, ended five years at the club, moving to Newcastle at the end of his contract.
But the club did not rest on their laurels in finding replacements and handsomely reinvested in the squad spending PS88m in total.
Brazilian forward Evanilson arrived from FC Porto shortly after Solanke's departure for a club-record fee of PS40m and the club spent a further PS48m on the likes of Dean Huijsen, Julian Araujo, Luis Sinisterra, Enes Unal and Alex Paulsen to round off a productive transfer window.
Solanke out but Evanilson in Speculation was rife before the end of last season around the future of Dominic Solanke, with fans fearful of a 'big club' coming in after his superb 19-goal campaign for Bournemouth.
Whilst it seemed that Solanke would be present, at least, for Bournemouth's August fixtures, Tottenham came in with a huge offer of PS65m just a few days before the start of the season, of which PS55m would be up-front - a sum of money the club simply could not refuse.
The departure left a big hole not only in the goal-scoring department but also in a hard-working, tenacious striker, whose efforts off the ball were as important as on the ball.
As a result, the Bournemouth hierarchy wasted no time and went in for 24-year-old FC Porto striker, Evanilson for PS40m - a club-record transfer fee.
The speed of which the club moved in for the Brazilian suggested that they had done their homework on who would be the best replacement for Solanke.
As of now, Evanilson has only played two games and whilst he has not scored, he has shown promise that he holds the same qualities as the club's former number nine in being strong, quick, hard-working and intelligent in his decision making.
With such big boots to fill and a huge transfer fee, Bournemouth fans should be patient in their judgement of the striker but can feel at ease knowing he holds the potential to do great things for the club just like Solanke.
Kepa loan gives fans hope of goalkeeping stability There was a lot of expectation around the arrival of a new goalkeeper this summer and arguably it was the area most in need of attention.
Despite impressing in his first season at the club, Neto struggled to win over fans last year with a collection of problematic moments, leading to fans asking if the club had a goalkeeping problem.
For weeks, Bournemouth were linked with Giorgi Mamardashvili and even former number one, Aaron Ramsdale of Arsenal.
But from almost nowhere, the Cherries landed a two-time Champions League and La Liga winner, Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan from Chelsea.
Kepa promises to be a solid upgrade for the team, offering not only his talent but also tonnes of experience at top European clubs.
Whilst no one can forget his antics of the 2019 League Cup final against Manchester City, five years on and some maturing later, Kepa is ready to serve as a number one again and restart his career at little old Bournemouth.
Defensive upgrades arrive from Spain and Italy It is not every day that Bournemouth buy a young, promising talent from Italian giants Juventus but that is exactly the reality fans must (fortunately) face these days.
The 19-year-old Spanish defender arrived on the south coast for PS12.6m on a six-year deal, much to the excitement of fans.
So far, Huijsen has appeared twice in three games and shows a lot of potential to be an excellent signing.
The Spaniard composes himself well on the ball and is at ease playing out from the back, as well as hitting long balls for the attackers to chase, making him perfect for Andoni Iraola's style of football.
In addition to Huijsen, Bournemouth also bought Barcelona right-back Julian Araujo, which did not prove to be a popular decision with the Catalan fans.
Just like Huijsen, Araujo has also impressed fans with his direct, quick style of play and his relentless desire to pick up the ball and run at opposition defenders.
Partnered with the arrival of Kepa and the current defenders, these two additions mean Bournemouth are going strength to strength at the back and building the foundations for another positive season ahead.
Turning last season's loans into this season's signings Whilst there were plenty of new faces through the door at Dean Court this summer, fans will be familiar with attackers Luis Sinisterra and Enes Unal, who completed permanent moves after their loan spells campaign.
Both players played significant roles in guiding the club up the league during the season, scoring and assisting some important goals.
Bournemouth fans will be expecting more of the same from Sinisterra but will hope that Unal has more luck with injuries this year, especially after Solanke's departure.
Verdict: 7/10 Overall, despite some key players departing, the transfer window can be deemed a success, which is to the credit of the current transfer policy.
Of course, losing a 19-goal striker is not ideal, particularly for a club like Bournemouth but the club received a respectable transfer fee in return and used part of the sum to bring in Evanilson as their new centre-forward swiftly.
Elsewhere, the club continued to invest in the squad by sealing up some loan-to-buys and signing young promising talent that look at ease in the Premier League and are set for future success.
Bournemouth also used the transfer window to streamline the squad a little allowing Chris Mepham, Romain Faivre, Jaidon Anthony, Hamed Traore, Neto and Daniel Jebbison to head out on loan, freeing up wages and dressing room space.
