Can't stand him,
I have no idea what he gives to the team, all this give him time nonsense has to stop, he is an extremely well paid professional footballer who looks terrified every time the ball comes to him

Long season ahead as koeman will insist his signings are the best!!
 
I'll be honest, I like Davy and think he'll be really good for us. He's the one new signing I'm most looking forward to seeing play once they've all settled and Domehead figures out what they should all be doing.
 
Not sure what he's bringing to the team, or what he was meant to bring.

Worrying thing is, I don't think Koeman knows either.

Not had the best of starts and I think partial blame has to be attributed to Koeman. Was Klaasen needed?
 
Im more worried by some of his decisions that are not affected by "settling in"

Today we went through a 5 minute spell at the end of the first half were we could have conceded 3 or 4. The defence completely fell apart and went in to panic mode, when this happens no matter of settling in an experienced player should know to try and get control of the game, but Klaassen was arguably guilty of giving spurs 2 of those chances before half time. One of them he had a simple pass on the left and couldn't complete it and then one on the right which he tried to fancy mid air back heel it and the ball went the opposite way of our player.

Yes he's going to take time to settle but he has to stop trying to play the Ajax way, it will not work in our system (or lack of system) and the success rate from deeper lying midfielders moving from Holland to England is incredibly poor because the football is so different.

I won't write the lad off because we've invested a fair bit in him and it would be wrong to say a player who only a few months ago was captaining a side in the europa league final isn't good enough to make the grade, but right at this moment he shouldn't be near the team against anyone capable of finishing 10th or above.

For the people who back him religiously and believe wholeheartedly it's a case of "settling in" from a poor league bear in mind that was Sanchez' first game in English football from the exact same system as Klaassen last season so it might not be a case of him needing time he might just not be good enough.
 
In hindsight, would rather we went for pace on the wings, a Walcott type.
I like him but we don't really need him as much as we need pace and balance.
