Confirmed Signing Davy Klaassen

Certainly likes a header judging by his YouTube vids.

Can only imagine that he has been bought for his goals as he doesn't seem to create anything else.

A bit like a Dutch lampard

You act like you don't respect Ajax but 95% of the rest of the football world do (they're not Darlington, which they seem to be according to you!). Koeman has won 3 titles in a major league like Holland, and two main national cups, in two different countries. What recent manager (apart from RM and his fluky 'get Wigan relegated but won the FA Cup') has done that? He is the best manager we've had for a while and fits in with the 'let's achieve' instead of being 'also-rans' mentality we need to get to. Klaassen is clearly a winner in Koeman's mould. He's produced not just last season, but the season before too. He is a driving force, someone his teammates will appreciate. He will be good defensively and good offensively and he will fight for the cause for 90 minutes, he also reads the game superbly and I believe in Koeman's judgment (and my own). He won't sink or swim either, but he will slowly prove himself as someone who helps raise Everton into top 4 contenders while he's here.

Saying he'll be an appalling waste of cash or a big hit, is pure fence-sitting and back-tracking, it's more like I said, he will help us turn into winners more often than not and keep us competitive in games both home and especially away (which we weren't last season, even if he doesn't score 14+ goals in a season in the PL).

Any strong opinions about RK seem odd, he has had a mixed career. Anyone who thinks he is the best think since sliced bread, what are you basing that on? Equally Dave, there is no evidence to support your entrenched position.......but sensible, measured comments dont fit with your increasingly desperate attempts to 'stir up' debate.

BTW the sensible position on Moshiri is also one of reserving judgement, those with strong opinions either way have formed them based on little to no evidence.

I've just given hard evidence that the Dutch league is ranked 13th in Europe by UEFA. Not conjecture. Not 'desperate'.

there is no guarantee with any manager , but, give me a manager that is a winner and that is a good starting point.

Winners are winners...really are they.....what about people who win....and then lose? Was Walter Smith a winner or a loser, was Graham Souness a winner or a loser, Tiger Woods was a winner, Phil Neville, winner or loser, Kendalls last stint wasn't great, we would all call him a winner....

OK the Dutch league being poor is evidence Koeman is poor? Did you expect him to raise the standard of the entire lague.

I agree winning the dutch league doesnt prove a good manager....but you seem to be citing it as 'evidenc' of him being a bad manager?

More evidence: Koeman hasn't won a thing for a decade.
