Steve Walsh - no longer our Director of Football

[ijjysmith]

The biggest mistake by far of the transfer window. Even more so when you consider they've known since early spring, Rom wanted to be off, when he turned down the contract offer.

We knew last summer in all honesty.

(When was that contract offer again? I forget)

TBF to @davek he stated we would have a pop gun attack, he was wrong it's more like a spud gun attack!

Doesn't seem to have a plan b up his sleeve if plan A doesn't work out

Rejected early March. 6 months.

 

[Papa Shango]

I'm frustrated that the only real find he's found us is Gueye. Where's the attacking flair? The players he's brought in here are nothing like the Leicester blue print. He needs to find a striker asap. He's had 6 months.

Gueye was playing European football for years, nobody "found" him.

Are all the young talent we are signing through not his?

Oh right.

Well in all honesty, the first time he ever piped up away on Belgium duty we should have started thinking about who to get in.

So in essence I'm happy to blame Martinez. Again.

Only got three days of the Window left really - can you really imagine Long Weekend Walsh working on Bank Holiday Monday????

@davek has been exculpated. His views have proved to be prescient. We will struggle to score goals this season with our pop gun attack. It's been another massively disappointing window which has seen us emerge with a team not as good as last season's.

He's going to swan in on Tuesday isn't he , take three hours to make a coffee, have to leave at 4 to "beat the traffic" and call in sick on Wednesday

No idea how we are supposed to get VVD, Gray and Benzema in with that stinking attitude

 

[jceverton]

Perhaps he's being constrained by the targets Koeman wants. But then that begs the question what is the point if him then.

That's what comes across to me, it certainly doesn't seem like he's in charge of the recruitment. It feels like Koeman picks most of them then gives Walsh a bone and let's him sort one out. Bolassie, Williams, Stek, Klaasen, Sigurddson, Rooney, Schneiderlin all seem like Koeman's.

It's not over till the fat operatic lady sings.

He's 30 in December, far too old mate.

He's always been a bit dodgy on ages to be fair
