Steve Walsh - no longer our Director of Football

[billyblue80]

Our squad is an unbalanced hotpotch lacking in quality in various areas, that's having spent 200m plus. This guy is totally incompetent.

I’ve always been a bit m’eh about Steve Walsh but I’m now a firm believer that he has done nothing but contribute to the massive waste of money that is the current Everton squad.

* when I say contribute I don’t mean in a financial sense.

He was chatting so much wham at the AGM. The minute he brought out that Lukaku "stat" he should have been taking out the back and instantly dismissed. He tried to deflect all blame off himself and almost saw the whole debacle as some sort of joke. Horrible horrible man doing a horrible job.

Sell

..the more I see of us, the more I wonder what Walsh and Koeman were up to.

Playing golf and trips to Italy.

 

[technojoe]

Get him totally out.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

look at our squad and think any manager would struggle to get a decent first XI out of it.

As I've been saying since Lukaku/Barkley looked like they were off, with Baines, Coleman, Jags and Williams finished (or injured) major rebuilding was required.

I didn't forsee the collapse in form of Schneiderlin which has added to the woes.

But a front 4 of Tosun/Rooney/Siggy/Bolasie is as bad as it gets. Individually they are all fine (midtable) players but the skills don't complement each other. It isn't like they are youngsters, it is a dad's army attack. None would have a sniff of the top 6 clubs and most of the league wouldn't want them. That is £90m of Walsh approved deals.

DCL/Lookman/Vlasic have shown flashes of talent.

Midfield is awful - we don't have a passer or someone who can drive forward with the ball. It isn't as if they are solid either. Klaassen/Scheniderlin cost over £50m.

Defence - Keane and Williams represent £40m of investment. Keane's success was in a very, very deep defensive line. I pointed that out before we signed him. Did our scouts consider that?

That is £180m of first team signings - too soon to judge Tosun as a player but he is a massive failure in value for money terms -who would be massive losses if resold and only Keane/Klaassen are pre-preak ages.

Absolutely woeful so far.

Haha I love the so far part of that like he is going to get better now he has bedded in

How did he do so well at Leicester and then completely shutout here. Did he become senile?

One season wonder.

He didn't actually 'find' the players at Leicester, they had scouts who found those players and then he looked at them and decided with the Chairman and Ranieri if they should buy them. The guy who 'found' Kante & Mahrez went to Arsenal.

Not linked with one LB so far, this is very worrying.

I never trust arrogant people. Arrogance is normally a sign they are covering up for. Incompetence.

That makes perfect sense then. I wondered how he lost his mojo so quickly.

We don't have the money without moving players of the wage bill and I suspect they haven't been able to do that.

 

[Adscum]

We need a manager* with total responsibility over transfers.

*not Allardyce.
