Well you know my opinion about the striker, whether its player selection or th ability to negotiate and secure signings is a subjective peice for opinion.
Bar Klassen I'm not dissapointed with anyone we signed. It's who we didn't sign is the problem for me.

If that's true, then it would appear that they are either at odds with each other or one of them has the final say over the others, as it's a big old mess at the moment

Seen that earlier in the thread, I can't see it being true, why would he take a short term contract? If Everton were that desperate and wanted him as their man I'm sure he'd be capable of negotiating a better contract than a 7 month long one. Plus Koeman hasn't even been sacked yet. I'm gonna call BS on it I reckon mate
I suppose if things are going well it's genius if not then it's an abomination and open to conjecture.
If it comes to pass it has Bill all over it really.

Whats with all the Moyes stuff? I really couldnt go through having him at Everton again..that ballbag made me stop going to the aways with his turgid [Poor language removed] football....saying that its same with Koeman 
...Wanted to give Koeman more time but had enough...Id go with Unsworth temporarily to get the lazy ballbags playing for the shirt and hopefully steady things and see where we are in the New year..

It's been going wrong for quite a wrong time though mate and he / they don't appear to know what to do about it ?.
You know deep down he's finished.
He needs to walk to retain not only his dignity and his dwindling reputation, but also possibly his health for his health too.
He's looking a bit unkempt and wild eyed at the mo and I certainly don't wish ill health on him in any form on him.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
He started to pipe up about a striker and a defender in August after he'd just brought in 4 players with Siggurdson still on going. It was also after a lackluster pre season.
The defender was clearly due to Funes Mori's injury and always short term. Hence the Thomas Vermhalen shouts. So we'd still have a Williams, Jagielka dilemma.
As for a striker, we were never linked to a main striker until he mentioned it. The main target was Oliver Giroud. To me, if a striker was top priority you don't spend £45mill on a midfielder, and your top striker isn't Oliver Giroud.
Add to the fact Koeman's always said he wanted goals from everywhere and not just reliant on a striker. Case in point with buying Klassen, Siggurdson, Rooney, Sandro. All players who have 10+ goals in a season previously.
Say if he even did bring in a striker, the biggest problem is lack of creativity.
Last season Koeman had a problem with a static forward line with no energy from midfield until Davies came in. However he still had a player that created, and a player who scored.
I think he's decent yes. But it's not working here at all. He's a terrible fit here at the minute. And his negative Koemoyes approach isn't good enough.
He doesn't want to sign a new contract even if he miraculously turned it round. Why do we owe him any loyalty?
A manager is just papering over the cracks and will have the same problem as koeman no striker. Well one good enough anyway

Would have started a new thread but there are already several so will stick this in here. His 5 biggest mistakes in my opinion and those that will get him the sack:
Right Back
With Coleman injured, this was a great opportunity for him to play a young lad, an Evertonian, full of confidence from a great season with the Under 23s and World Cup win with England under 20's whose game is about getting up and down the wing and strong tackling. Instead he went for Cuco Martina who has proven to be inconsistent and poor defensively. When he doesn't think Martina is performing he then opts for Mason Holgate. Whilst Holgate is a talent, he looks far better suited to centre back, much like John Stones, who often looked limited at full back as his strengths do not lie in getting up and down the wing.
2 Defensive Midfielders every game
2 of our most influential players last season, who prospered in a partnership with a 3rd player alongside them, Tom Davies. Gana and Schneiderlin like to win the ball back and play 10 yard balls to more attacking minded players. Not only has Lukaku moved on, we now don't have the likes of Barkley or Mirallas to play the ball to so both of these are struggling badly to create anything as it's simply not in their game. Tom Davies should be starting alongside just one of them.
Lack of a true left winger
He started off without playing a winger on either side but has gradually eased Vlasic in to the side who has been a positive. However, the left hand side has been completely ruined by Koeman's decision to push players out of position there. We have 3 options who could play on the left, 2 with pace in Lookman and Lennon, and Mirallas being a 3rd option since he has played out wide most of his Everton career.
Poor balance/shape
This is similar to the above point but there is no balance to the side as we don't play with a natural left winger. This is having a negative effect on so many of the players, starting with the centre backs, but in particular Baines, Gana and Schneiderlin who are struggling for options ahead of them.
Centre forward
Each game he seems to change his mind. One game it's Rooney, another it's Calvert Lewin. For me, if he actually started to play with width, i'd go for Rooney or Sigurdsson in behind Calvert-Lewin. Rooney likes to drop deeper and if we played with width we could cross balls in to Calvert Lewin with Rooney or Sigurdsson waiting on the edge of the box for any knock downs.
