Nonsense call to let go of Walsh.

His primary role is to bring in potential young players and remain so for as long as he’s with us. He is brought in solely to supervise and implement the mode of Chelsea, which is to snap up potential youth, developed and recycle their transfer worth. This is a tried and trusted policy to sustain the club in the Long run.

His other role will be a counter check on managers dodgy recruitment plan. I’m sure we don’t want to see Niasse v2.0 ever happening again.

It’s far too early to cry about his appointment and all our potential signing will probably bear fruit in a couple of Seasons time. If their development path is as expected, their combine worth could fund us a new stadium.

Davy Klaassen even worse.

Agree with this, the Chelsea model, although not popular, works, hence Ross Barkley transfer for £15m, dont be surprised to see him on the market next year at £40m.

I sold a car to Izzy Brown of Chelsea and he's on loan permanently really and will end up elsewhere, I cant see him playing in Chelsea first team regularly.
 
In no reality is Davy Klassen a worse player than Naisse.
Maybe not settled or not suited to the PL yet but he is technically far superior to Naisse

Niasse has been able to score goals in two completely types of league, under considerable duress at Everton and for Hull.

Klaassen has been given everything he could ever ask for and fallen apart as soon as he left Ajax and a league not massively above League Two in standard.

Relative to purchase price, Niasse has been light years more effective.

Dweeby Aassen is a much, much worse player than Niasse.

It’s an absolute nonessential role inside a football club.

lol dweeb. I called him a shrimp to my mate the other day. Both very true.

If you consider the entire history of Everton since premiere league began. We’ve not recruited such talented bunch of young potential ever. This is the work of Walsh. Such backend role should not be judge on a short term basis.

So who is responsible for signing young players.
Managerial jobs are in the main short term , so first team managers only want players for the first team squad and don’t have much interest in signing players for the youth sections.
We’ve signed a lot of younger players and I doubt this would happened without Walsh being here.
I will give you that signings for the first team have been hit and miss with some duplication and some glaring omissions but that can’t all be down to Walsh.
No one knows how things worked with Koeman in charge.
Maybe Walsh gave Koeman a list of strikers and Koeman said no and pinned his hopes on Giroud
We will never know.

Please name Walsh’s recruitments?
