Klaassen ‘wants to fight for his chance’

[Shipped]

There's plenty of players who struggle to adapt to the league, some manage it after a season or two, others never do.
No point writing him off yet and accepting 1/2 what we paid for him from a European team.
It's the clubs fault for signing 2 other players for his position with a combined 20 years experience in the league.

 

[Zezti]

Remember when we thought pushing for the top 6, 2 cup runs and a good Europa challenge meant we'd be able to give everyone who signed plenty of minutes?
Ouch...

Still want him and Sandro to get a good run with the team.

Good on the lad. The hard thing is unless Sam changes his formation i can't see how he gets in the side...

It's quite refreshing to see someone who wants to play and fight for their place rather than fleece us.I still believe in the right formation there is a player there, Koeman obviously had a vision for him and the way things have gone for the club it's been difficult for the likes of him in a new country and environment.
Time will tell if he gets the opportunity to play or he is punted. can see us making a big loss if it is the latter.

I just don’t get getting rid of klaassen and Sandro. Mad! Both have barely played!

 

[ClausThomsen]

Pretty standard agent speak. The rough translation is that he's not happy but there's no way he'll be forced into submitting a transfer request and writing off what's owed so early into the massive contract the club has given him.

 

[Neiler]

He is going to be here for a while, so just have to accept our gaff, hes not going anywhere earning 100k a week aka "fighting for your chance".

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Written off from the PL after 180mins is crazy...

Same with Sandro tbh.

Remember when De Gea was a complete waste of money, and utterly unsuited to the Premier League?

 

[efcjames]

It seems as if he's been completely binned off already

That’s exactly what it is. No one will pay what we paid for him or what we’re paying him.

This is likely to cost us more than Koeman’s payoff.

To be fair many of us binned him of prior to signing.

 

[Adam-GOTTV]

Same goes for Sandro, both of those players and the club should be at least giving this the entire season before thinking about throwing the towel in. Fair play to him here. Once we get to a point where we're evidently going to be safe, give him a proper chance in the side and let's see what he can do.

agreed but utd had to keep playing him. More difficult to do this with an outfield player as theres more you can do to leave him out. Hard to put him in a side after so long without a game. Mccarthy got in before him.

Sort of - yes there's more options to leave him out, but having a keeper who appears to be unsuited and massively vulnerable is a much bigger risk than doing it with 1 of 10 outfield players

 

[FTY]

Bet this lad and Sandro will start getting minutes when we get to 40 pts

Sam's not gonna risk slipping back into trouble by playing unknown quantities just so they can bed into the league

An inferior version of Stuart Barlow.
