You will love him, as do we. He is our undisputed captain, he sets the pace, motivates his squad and can score easily. It's for a reason Koeman wants him in his squad and Cruijff himself saw him as one of the biggest talents on the playfields of the netherlands. Maybe the level of the eredivisie isn't the same compared to the PL but don't forget that Klaassen is also a international for the dutch lions and played all the way to the final of the Europe League. Unlike other players he is busy with football instead of getting drunk and spending money. He will succeed, no doubt.
 
Klaassen has the attitude (work rate, competitive streak) to adapt to the English game. He isn't a big, imposing dribbler like Ross but he is very good at closing down/annoying opponents (aka Naismith), ghosting into the box (aka Cahill) and having a dig from 20 yards (aka Bilyaletdinov). He's not a dominant box-box player. He isn't a creative, silky #10. That does not mean he is not useful.

Personally I could see him more in a front 3 or midfield 3 than in a 4-4-2 so his value to us all depends on how Ron wants to play. I'm assuming if we drop £25m it isn't for him to decorate the bench as we are not yet at that level.
 
Everton fans are like the British media. We build up a player just so we can throw them under a bus as soon as they're out of form.

Best fans in the league.

Just realised, what I originally posted was meant to go in the Pickford thread, saying that though, doesn't matter who the player is, as you say, we " We build up a player just so that we can throw them under a bus as soon as they're out of form"
 

Manndingo is doing her from behind mate (that's what I keep picturing anyway!) that's the reason for her pained, grimacing, please stop expression.

Ah same haha. Twice in two days I've done that.

Point still stands though.

"I TOLD YOU HE WAS S*** LAD. I TOLD YOU SO. LOOK HOW GREAT I AM!"

Also means we need to keep Barkley or replace him.
