I would not be surprised if in time we will see a situation similar to the Utd/Arsenal deal that is going through at the moment.
Klaasen in exchange or part exchange for an Everton target.
He could do well in a different league, has a good pedigree and is still young.

..I do think wages are a big stumbling block for him and Ramirez. They are on big buck, long contracts that clubs in other leagues will find it hard to match. I fear we’ll have to take a big hit on Klaassen.
 
He is becoming the Dutch Niasse!

You can’t argue that he hasn’t had a fair run and Stubborn, Big Headed Manager wants him out.

Give him a run in under 23s and you will see he will be back in the first team.
 
He's not a 10. Seriously. He's never really been a 10. He's a box to box type that if playing well, would really help us. Not sure if he's at the level, but his game should translate to the PL as he can handle the pace and pressure.

It was still a very silly and unnecessary signing. It was an overpay for sure.

I'd loan him out somewhere that you know he'll do well and sell him in the summer, but if you can move him now and get a better fit like N'Zonzi or my favorite, Doucoure, it's a no brainer.

Even the first one of those (who bought him), left him out of the side, so you can't blame the next one for doing likewise.
I can't see where he can fit into this team, even if he's given more minutes on the pitch.
Sandro (not much game time as per Davy), on the other hand, I can see adding to the team?

Where?

I see Klaassen more naturally fitting into the side. Playing in front of Gana, getting the ball up to the wings or Siggy wherever the heck they put him. Gana should be playing as a 6, not being forced into a box to box role because Morgan can't play anywhere else.

If the 'where' was about Sandro, then it's left side cutting in (instead of Bolasie who will be there because we signed Walcott).
If we are to get the best out of Gylfi, then he plays central'ish behind the striker. Which means means Rooney drops deeper (as SA admitted was now his nest position), not sure where Klaasen fits in there?
 
There is already way too many players at the club.
I think the manager will want to reduce numbers and wages drastically which will free up places and money for players he wants to recruit.

I think that players will be frozen out simply because this cull needs to happen. I think Klaasen may be one of the most high profile leavers.

So Klaassen alongside / infront of Gana picking up the deep stuff - and moving... forward :Blink:. Then bin off Schnidermann?

Works for me ;)

Rooney sits. And there is no way Sandro plays in front of Bolaisse. I understand several here dislike Bolaisse for reasons that mystify me, but there's no chance he's sitting for Sandro. Nor should Sandro play in front of Lookman at that position. No way. Sandro needs loaned out somewhere so he can get better. His first step looks horrendous and he looks slow and confused when he's been in there.

Again, I wouldn't necessarily plug him is as a starter, but I WOULD give Klaassen a shot over McCarthy and Morgan for sure. McCarthy gives nothing going forward, Klaassen complements Gana better. Morgan can only play one place on the pitch and if he plays with Gana it forces Gana into a role he isn't as well suited for.

Absolutely. I might try Rooney in there with him and Siggy sitting a bit deeper, maybe allow Tosun to roam a bit and push the the two wingers up the field. I'd still play Davies ahead of Klaassen though.

Honestly, it's tough to game plan with Martina at right back. If Sam wants to play Morgan at the 6 and have Gana shade over to protect Gana while Bolaisse stays up high, that's okay. I'm just saying, we lack a box to box player. I would never have bought Klaassen to begin with, but he and Davies are the closest that we've got.

If we take Sandro out of the equation and say either Bolasie (or whoever) is played instead.... Walcott is right side, Tosun is upfront, Gylfi is behind and central'ish, then you have Idrissa and Rooney. Still, no place for Klaasen?
