Confirmed Signing Davy Klaassen

Would prefer this kind of bid for Forsberg, can only claim to have seen Klaasen a few times but never been overly impressed.

If he's the first of a few, happy days and hopefully he does well.

I wish he would. For one thing we'd be £27m better off right now, because never in a month of Sunday's would I have endorsed that chicken with no head Bolasie arriving here.

Klaasen is a pony Dutch league general. You saw what he was like against a pretty poor United team in that final.

How was he bad at all? He did nothing wrong. United had the bus well and truly parked and they were brilliant defensively, no space whatsoever. Did you expect him to skin the pitch and slot home?

Don't forget Barca barely managed a single shot on target against Juve over 2 legs. Doesn't mean Messi is tosh.
 
I think the idea of paying him 26M is a bit much. He's good, don't get me wrong, but that's a bit high. He's the type of guy that if you were getting him for 15M, you'd be pretty happy, but not sure he's worth much more than that.

That being said, judging him on one game against Man U is pretty ridiculous.
 
Would be a nice signing, would compete for the place with Tom Davies. Quite a bit more expensive than expected though.

By the way, all Klaassen, Gylfi and Barkley can easily co-exist in our team. Gueye, Schneiderlin, Klaassen - Barkley, Sigurdsson - striker

Klaasen is a box-to-box midfielder.
Barkley is the best when he plays as a false right winger/right attacking midfielder.
Gylfi is the best when he plays as a false left winger/left attacking midfielder.

They can co-exist, but then there's no pace whatsoever. Hard to counter attack away at better sides when we've not got an outlet.

Terrible idea.

He's the Dutch Barry Ferguson.

If this feller spends €30m on him I sincerely hope it's being part funded out of his own extortionate wages.

Have you watched him for an entire 90 mins more than once, to write him off like that?If not, I will trust Walsh and RK over your opinion, thanks.

He was anonymous and a poor leader in the biggest game of his career.

Regardless of that game he was also poor in the QF second leg and SF second leg against Schalke and Lyon respectively.

He's from a league where they only play four meaningful games each season against Feyenoord and PSV. I would give a very wide berth to anyone from that league.
