I'll agree that he was not good for us. But also...that not good was 3 goals and 2 assists in 21 games mostly off the bench.
Judging by our current output up front he's just as good as what we've got and much more in form.
Which honestly just tells you how absolutely crap our front line is.
It's more than just the attack. We simply can't string passes together at all. We're the worst team at progressing the ball in the Prem by far.
It's more than just adding goal scorers. We need people that can create space and pick a pass. It's not that Gordon or Gray or McNeil are bad...it's...
It's not "the players" or "the manager" it's the entire organization. It's poorly run. There's no strategy in building. They hire and fire managers and rarely give them a chance to fully build anything before sending them off. Then you end up with players unsuited for the new style of play...
Missing James, Richie, Digne, Coleman, and Holgate...and people are mad about having a bad performance?
I get hoping back-ups step up...but most teams aren't overcoming 5 starters missing...especially some of the most critical attackers.
What other team is easily overcoming this? You think...
There's literally not a manager alive that could get this utter trash group of players to play good football. They are bad players who can't do more than they are showing. Complete organizational failure.
The Klaassen hyperbole is silly. He hasn't lived up to expectations for sure, but he played quite a few games for them and showed flashes every now and then. Klaassen essentially never played for us.
I would say it's nearly impossible to make a judgement on him either way. We've seen him play a grand total of 217 Premier League minutes.
He may need more game time to show what he can do or he may be absolute trash, but as of right now we have no clue.
If it's tapping up they should at least have some sort of evidence or something that appears to be evidence.
At the moment it seems to be bluster and conjecture. They just warned about tapping up instead of saying it was occurring which leads me to believe they have nothing and are just...
I'm confused by the hang up some people have on the fee?
It's not like there's a salary cap...and Everton are nowhere close to FFP...we are by all reports flush with cash...so if we pay over someone's "worth" what does it really do? Are you afraid we'll run out of money? Is it that you simply...
