January Transfer Window 2018

[jceverton]

Koeman hasn't a clue how to spend money

Which begs the question why on earth are we letting him?!

Which begs the question why on earth are we letting him?!

Because he’s our manager.

 

[RomanReigns]

should go all out for timo werner

Koeman hasn't a clue how to spend money

That's why he doesn't, he coaches.

I wonder what odds you could get for the following: Fifty years from now, English football supporters will still not understand the whole Director of Football thing

 

[Furey1878]

There is no way Steve Walsh selected Cuco Martina, Stekelenburg, Williams and Davy Klaassen as signings.

Clearly all pushed through by Koeman...

Based on what? Your opinion, don't pass that off as fact without any evidence.

I can assure people Klaassen was a Walsh. Not sure on the others. But can’t see Martina or Stek being anyone but Koeman.

That may be the case, but we don't know. It's understandable that people are concerned right now but let's not turn speculation into fact, to fit an agenda.

Oh god yeah I agree. Even that bit on Klaassen was told to me via someone else who ‘gets info’.

What we know right now is we have a number of new signings that may or may not be able to compete in the premier league. I would suggest that it's far to early to form opinions, whoever may have "signed" them. We'll have a clearer picture by Christmas, in between time, let's just hold fire until we get a clearer picture. Some of Koeman's team selections do appear like a man who doesn't know his best team, however it's far to early to start questioning his judgement. I read this site daily and there is intelligent Evertonians who although rightly dispirited are quite frankly, shooting from the hip. In my mind, this is the time for understanding and encouragement. The pitch forks can come out later. Which I'm sure you remember happened to the latter stage of Martinez reign.

 

[Eggs]

...not sure if the weasel Index is still running.

I doubt any player comes in without both Walsh and Koeman sanctioning it.

 

[BlueToff]

Oh god yeah I agree. Even that bit on Klaassen was told to me via someone else who ‘gets info’.

end of the day Ij I think it's clear it's a case of Koeman and Walsh working together to sign targets.

We don't push through a move if one of them isn't happy.

That's why I'm confident in all the players we've brought in (bar Martina, who was a free and should only be back up to Kenny and Holgate imo).

They're all good players. But atm Koeman's tactics aren't helping any of them a) play at their best or b) settle into a much-changed side
