Whats our DOF Walsh doing in all this ? he is supposed to liaise with RK and then try, and get the player we lack a striker not a central midfielder!I'm not sure we can really say who is to blame. The board would obviously expect to be given a few realistic targets by Koeman and Walsh and then go and negotiate to get one of them. Koeman has made it clear he wants a striker, but we don't know whether one has been identified or whether they are realistically attainable.
