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.

Look at the 10th goal on that list (first in the video) - the centre-half inexplicably moves to his left and leaves an open space; that wouldn't happen in England against any team in the league.

And here was I thinking you knew something about football. If you actually watch the clip the player with the ball drags it back as if to play in the overlapping player on the right, which is what the CH reacts to. Can't work out if you're being dumb or a poor DaveK mimic...

And some really really crap ones.

Ajax have a rivalry with Utrecht.They hadn't won away against them since 2004 i think until a few months ago, when Ajax scored a late winner.Lasse Schone scored with a rocket of a shot and such was the force, it rebounded back out towards the centre circle.Klassen connected with the ball as it was rebounding out and kicked it high and hard right into the mass of Utrecht fans sitting behind the goal.It was a snide thing to do but he was overcome with passion for Ajax and the Utrecht fans were giving abuse all afternoon.So what better way to shut them up then by scoring a late winner and then kicking the ball with force right into their end.I think it would be boss if he did something like that in a merseyside derby!lol He's a class player but he's a snide as well, and we can do with a bit more snide at Everton.
 
Just exactly where does Klassen fit in a 4-3-3?

I assume he won't play as a wide forward? Does he replace Davies in the midfield 3? Or does the 3 up top end with him playing behind two strikers?

He'd be the most attacking of the three midfielders, in either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3

He plays this role for both Ajax and Holland very well.

I get people's reservations and there's no chance he'd score the same amount for us as he has for Ajax but, he is a very good player and one that would suit Koeman's system very well indeed.

He isn't a playmaker though. He's basically a box-to-box player who is very adept at finding space in the final third.

Yes, he chases the feint to a player running into the channel and ignores the pressing threat through the middle. It's terrible defending. It doesn't matter if the player releases that pass to the right, because he should move when it happens, not before it happens, because there's no goal threat that is imminent from the player out wide.
 

Let's give him a few minutes of football for us before we start writing him off or lauding him as the next Bergkamp eh?

Actually sod that. Someone load up his Fifa stats!
 
To the tune of Agadoo

Davy class class Klassen
Davy Klassen is quite class

On his head, with his feet, he can score them off his knee

Son, you will do for me.

Needs a bit of work. A new second verse for a start.
 


The video starts with him falling over and then shaking hands with another player, then blowing his nose at an awards ceremony. Strangest highlight reel I've seen lol.
