Presumably, the Walsh strategy of not necessarily going to world-beaters, but just going for specific players that happen to do the exact job you want them to do very well.

Horses for courses.

It just says Klaassen is on his way from Ajax to Everton.

Will he be doing good in the PL? "He will have to invest hard in his physical qualities but he has the mentality to do it". It's just an article about people giving their opinion about how he'll be doing in the PL.

E.g: Ronald De Boer: "It's important that he chooses a club that really fits him. "He doesn't have the extreme qualities that enable you to do well everywhere. He can't just dribble a few players. He's all round and flourishes in the Ajax tactic (the tactic that Ajax played during the past season), where a striker doesn't only think about himself and players like Klaassen can benefit. He's a team-player.

Bye Rom!

Yeah he sounds and seems like an hybrid of a technical midfielder but not a luxury one - one that has an engine.

A box to box midfielder with the focus on quick transitions and getting forward to support a striker.

Which is good enough for me. Schneiderlin, Gana and Klaasen in the middle, Barkley cutting in wide left or right, and a more traditional 'winger' on the other side.

We need the right striker to replace Lukaku though, and that means a Giroud type or a channel runner.

Have we solved our goal scoring spread issue there? Magnified by losing our world class striker?

We don't have a world class striker, so I don't see how we can lose one.

We might lose a world class goalscorer, but that's a different thing entirely.

The goals Tubey. Where are they coming from? The issue is magnified losing Lukaku. I don't see it rectified by those players.
Real concern.
