Steve Walsh - no longer our Director of Football

[ToffeeTim]

He's done exactly the job Moshiri wanted from him. You heard the fraud tonight; he's happy with our business.

There's no point directing your ire at someone who has a paid job doing nothing; aim your ire at the employer who is happy with that happening.

Yeah I've slaughtered Walsh on here. But after hearing Moshiri, can't help but feel he's just not been given the funds. Love the way some still try to cheerlead saying money isn't an object

I'm reálly not sure what people expect from Walsh.
He can't win.
Our signings / potential signings fall into three categories.
1) Recognised establied high quality players.
Response - Kinell! I could have recommended him.

2) Young up and coming talent.
Response - Kinell! Another kin signing for the under 23's

3) Reasonably established players who have not hit the big time.
Response - Kinell! He's kin shoite.

Surely the Walsh role is to find players in category 2 who will either make the first team or have a higher sell on value (or both) and players in category 3 who will fit into our style of play and become better players.
But suddenly everybody's a better judge.

He identifies players. Bob and Bill sort them out, they started well but failed after Sigurdsson.

 

[Joey66]

Heard he and Koeman don't see eye to eye just a rumour!

 

[BigDuncis Blue]

Through all of the past few weeks, the question I have asked is where are the goals going to come from, I am still non the wiser...after Lukaku went our priority was a no brainer....imo

Idrissa Gueye is just a fading memory.....sack him.

The Walsh role must also include a transfer strategy that leaves us with a balanced squad?

We lack pace going forward, height in attack, our wide players are generally on the bench. Players who can run with the ball are few and far between.

Moshiri last night was saying we are well stocked with 'number tens'. We lack numbers elsewhere though.
Think the bigger picture needs to be more in mind next summer.

 

[harris78]

Waste of space this guy, bought pretty much household names and Premier League players for the most part that anyone who watches Sky Sport news could of picked out, dont get me wrong they are good players but i thought the point of Walsh was to carry on doing what he did at Leicester, Moyes was better at unearting jems then this waster has been for us

to be fair to the guy he spotted the gem from Croatia....wait what we just played his team over two legs and Steve Walsh was in attendance..lazy fecker then going to Italy and Netherlands on his jolly's and using the company credit card

 

[billyblue80]

Sam Byrne, Gethin Jones, Niasse, Mirallas and Barkley all named. Players younger than 21 don't need to be registered.

That might be true of the current squad but he's identified some bargains and future prospects, and we don't know who was on his list(who was on Ron's list)that we didn't get that may have addressed that imbalance. And who is responsible for the negotiation of these transfers?

I understand your point mate but which category would a replacement striker fit in? I can't help feeling we spent money early because he had no striker to offer - very disappointed as he was brought in under the auspices of the man who found Vardy and Marhez etc
He hasn't delivered where we needed it most.

 

[lancs blue]

His job is redundant get rid and invest in championship 2017 software for moshers and kenwright to salivate over

Stirrer......

 

[sc1878]

He identifies players. Bob and Bill sort them out, they started well but failed after Sigurdsson.

They made a complete hash of the Sigurdsson deal and that had a knock on effect with the rest of our business. Had they got Gylfi in 4 weeks ago it would've bought them more time to get a CF through the door.

These two clowns have got to go if Moshiri is serious about challenging for honours.

 

[COYBL25]

Hopefully ronkoe Sparks him out

He'd have to find him fi

He identifies players. Bob and Bill sort them out, they started well but failed after Sigurdsson.

He identifies players, Bob and Bill tell him there's no money left unless we sell current players.

He shrugs his shoulders, gets his club gold card out, books his next flight and five star hotel in Monaco and off he goes to watch a " target " in a French game.

He appears to be part of the problem, not the solution.

I can imagine more they have quite different MO's. They seem to be after very different things. In truth I am not sure about Koeman's long term viability here which is a shame.
