Well that's that then.

Finishing matches without a shot on target but FSA is happy to ship out a player who hasn't had a chance. I guess playing three defensive midfielders with two half fit is better than trying Klaassen.

Klaassen is utterly turd that's why he doesn't get played.

He's the most anonymous player I've ever barely seen in a blue shirt since a wading Osman.

Guess work. He's hardly played.

The matches he has played the team was spannered and Sigurdsson and Rooney were turd as well. They ended up coming good. Klaassen hasn't been given a proper chance.

When he did play, he hardly played. Barely touches the ball. Don't think he's got it in him to play for Everton personally.

Going off those quotes from Sam we're likely never going to know if he'd have come good here.

I'm gutted. The amount of wasters still here and getting minutes whilst this lad is going after a few matches is a travesty.

Whilst it's true, I just don't see what Klaassen brings to the side at all. Even at Ajax he was less involved than every other player, he just managed to bag a few with 'late runs into the box' which we've not seen once.

He's not crap but his style of play just doesn't suit us - simple as that. We're too direct of a side for a player like him, too many long balls, no possession, fast transitions etc. he would thrive at somewhere like Arsenal, or a top Serie A team.

The Lyon game at Goodison was Klassen's chance, and he failed spectacularly.

Walken · January 13, 2018

He's complete and utter tosh, it's okay to be wrong about a player every now and again, even those who thought it made them a modern day Aristotle because they rated davy

Man this sucks. Genuinely watch a lot of Ajax so was super excited when we signed him. He has been poor, hasn't put himself about or been sharp when he gets the ball but at the same time the few times he's played have been in a woeful team.

Be sad to see him move on but if he's not doing it in training either and can't dislodge someone like an out of form scheiderlin in our midfield then there ain't much hope for him in blue.

Its great how players get one chance from sam....yet he wants time to work on the players.....

The quotes suggest he's not seeing anything from him in training on a daily basis though, mate.

Obviously we don't see what goes on so it could be a case of Allardyce harshly binning him off, but for the mean time I'm taking the man at his word.

send him out on loan to a prem side and then re-address in the summer. No offence like, but he's still young, we spent a lot on him and allardyce isn't a long term answer. Klaassen may be. I know he was a koeman signing, but ajax and netherlands captain with goals from midfield. Rooney is the only other player in our squad that provides that. His value is at an all time low atm, we should definitely be offering him around for a loan to a prem club for the rest of the season and see how he copes with the league.

3 games is not enough to base him on.

Exactly. FOR THE MOST part I wouldn't sell any player brought in. Who knows what will happen in the summer with a new manager. Loan them out anywhere, get them game time, re-evaluate in June.
