Steve Walsh - no longer our Director of Football

[The binman chronicles]

71 year old scout? That's probably how we ended up with Niasse, took down the wrong number...

Shut it you.

*gasp*

There you go lads, Niasse was signed for Everton by Leicester scout Steve Walsh 4 weeks before anyone knew who Farhad Moshiri was.

The point i was making mate, was that the poor recruitment of Niasse and a general suspicion that something wasnt right in the deal, prompted the club/Mosh to appoint a director of football for good corporate governance, transparency and not making recruitment a unilateral process.

I think you got the wrong end of the stick, or rather my post in poorly worded.

Ahh ok yeah, I get that now

Should we look to get someone better in before January?

No need for hyperbole lad, I understand your frustration with current goings on, let it all out son, let it all out.

Let's hope he's been doing some work the past few months.

Evidently, he has been...

He's learning the role, as is the club.

Not every signing will be a 'Walsh signing' though. Schneiderlin and Depay, should they materialise, for example, are probably players Koeman knows can come in and help us out immediately. Lookman (should that come off) would be more of a Walsh arrival.

But both DoF and manager will work closely to identify the positions that need strengthening, and then the scouts find the goods.

The Summer was always going to be rough. We introduced a new structure whilst also bringing in a new Manager and a brand new DoF. Obviously we are all annoyed at how disappointing it was but the Club and Walsh/Koeman will have learned from it and we will be stronger/better in future windows im sure of it.

Still at a loss as to what this fella does, only time will tell if it's good though.

Koeman lets Walsh know what type of player/position he's after and Walsh provides him with a list of names. Simple really.

Like I said, time will tell. Hopefully his list will be good.

I said when you took him as DOF it was strange. Would be much more productive as chief scout. Hope he comes good for you
