Confirmed Signing Davy Klaassen

[caught]

I try not to get personal on here and mostly succeed. The use of the insult "WUM' is a toxic one and is trundled out way too liberally. If someone has a different pov = 'WUM". Is that where we are?

I mean, you do try to wind people up on the internet. Perhaps you're not a 'merchant', I'll give you that. A Wind-Up Poster of Specific Ideas on Everton might be a better title, a WUPSIE, if you will. Davek the WUPSIE.

Klaassen's alright in the air, eh lads?

 

[COYBL25]

Yes mate it would.

Lol.

So WUM is now a " toxic insult ".

You're turning into Mary Whithouse Dave.

Stop being silly x

Not sure why we're going after midfielders. It's the last area we need to strengthen. Where does this leave Walsh and Davies?

It's about having strength in depth. Can see James McCarthy or Barry leaving. Davies tired in the last 6 weeks of the season, buying klassen will allow us to rotate more players especially with European fixtures to contend with.

Yeah true I forgot the likes of Barry and McCarthy

@davek - you seem to be getting a lot of flak on here for your often contrary opinions. Some I agree with, some I don't (with you on Moshiri to a degree, not with you on Koeman). So I pose this question to you: what positives do you see from what Koeman has done and is doing thus far? Not baiting - genuinely interested.

He has the team working hard again.

That's it.

 

[davek]

So Scotland is now decent, after I've seen you slate it quite well previously? And the Dutch are crap? lol

He played in the CL against some very good opposition, you mean the mighty Reykjavik (sp?), Maribor and Legia? Or Quarabag and random Icelandic team? Or when they lost to Malmo afterwards? He literally played 0 "very good" teams ffs, Dave.

He grew tenfold in the Prem, credit to him, but I saw quite a few Celtic fans being indifferent to him leaving and actually celebrating the price.

WTF?

 

[davek]

Only 5 different English teams have won the Champions League or European Cup, compared to 3 Dutch teams. Not much difference. The Dutch league doesn't have the money that England, Germany and Spain has so can't attract the best players or pay big wages. So you can't expect their top sides to dominate Europe. They also get less teams into the CL group stages and Europa League group stages automatically (Just one automatically in each competition). And a lot of teams in the top leagues like Spain, England and Germany are rubbish too. Hull? Middlesbrough? Norwich? Sunderland? RM's Wigan?!! To name just a few crappy teams in the PL in recent seasons. Every Ajax side over the past 10 years would have competed with RM's side and probably won 6/7 out of 10 matches against the team he left us with.

Any league with a team called Go Ahead Eagles is laughable.

It's about equivalent to our League One.

I was criticising at all mate, I agree with you, from what I've seen I think he's in that 10 mould. My Eriksen comparison may be no nearer the mark either, more the role he plays, or can play is more advanced as he don't look that much of a ball winner!!!

I seriously hope you right. Reading his history made me think he must be that elusive number 10.. then all those posts plus that Barkley comparison made me think he operates more box to box.. personally I reckon number 10 is his.

That's it.

That tells me they've seen something decent in him. Being a manager players will really work for is no small thing.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Some other club would have snatched him for sure without Koeman effect

That league One that has produced players like Koeman, RVP, RVN, Guillet, Cruyff, (you get the picture).

That one?

I've lost count of the amount of great players that have come out of Ajax over the years.I really love how you ignore all that!I think it would be another serious statement signing if we snap up Ajax's driving force and captain.

They often do when a manager is new...then....

If you knew nothing about the EPL you would consider Crystal Palace as a laughable name for a football team (if you take time to think about it). Aston Villa makes little sense as well.
