The same age as klaassen?! Almost 25? No, at that age Osman had already played an important part in us finishing in our highest ever PL position.

Fair enough mate. He ever captain a side to a European final at 24 though?

He'd add something 'extra' that's for sure!
I tried to find a togger player to make it more believable but this was the only gravy floating about
Osman was only a year younger when he was on Loan at derby
I’m not knocking klaassen, just stating facts.
Yep, but that’s kind of irrelevant to the post so...

43 goals in the PL. It'd take Klaassen about 3 decades to get that. Osman was a livewire compared to Klaassen. They literally and metaphorically operated on a different level. I'm not an Osman fan at all, but Klaassen makes him look like Iniesta.
You'd have been on far safer ground flagging up Osman's limitations in comparison with almost anyone but that Dutch sloth. Comparing favourably a £30M dud with a player who got cost nothing and got on the scoresheet many times for us. Back to the drawing board for you on this.

I’ve not wanted an Everton player to succeed as much as Klaasen for a long time, maybe even since Van Der Meyde. I just don’t know what he’s supposed to really do.
He had some good touches in the build up play when we played Split at home years ago, is he supposed to do that? Turn defence into attack? Or is he supposed to win the ball and carry it from CM? Or is he supposed to be this “Dutch Lampard” edge of the box goalscorer?
I just don’t understand , and the game tonight has just cemented the main problem , which is that I absolutely cannot envisage him ever putting in a match winning performance in the premier league.
We would have won that game tonight with or without him, and it was a goos chance to prove that he’s anything better than we’ve got in the academy.
If he was a 17 year old coming out the youth team then we wouldn’t be particularly excited about him and that’s a serious problem considering a lot of our budget went on him and our squad is absolutely terrible.
I’m leaning towards either selling him, or trebucheting him to the moon.

Not seen the real klaassen yet. Some players need more time to settle in a different country and club than others. See pires, jimmy floyd hasselbaink etc
Different world timewise back then.
Moshiri's minions are going to have to do some serious write downs on players...unless they can con some other fool(s) into buying them
Will be interesting to see what our squad is in Sept 2018

I think it’s mad that we spend £25m on a player, most were happy we had signed him. after 5 premier league games, the “media” and clowns on twitter start calling him a “flop” and after about 10 more games, he is written off, premier league career over. I think he should be given at least till January next year.
