Would you take back Steve Walsh?

[Saint Domingo]

Was in the wrong job. Got overruled by Koeman on too many signings in a way that you wouldn’t expect Brands to by Silva.

 

[Nymzee]

Close to 30 million he tried to pay for Evans.

Haaland would have been 16, so that's wham.

Thanks for trying to stay relevant though Ste.

A lot of teams wanted Haaland at 16 but not sure if we were one.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Some of the rumors that used to fly round would make that Sigurdsson move blush Mike.

Lamina Kone, Giroud, Arnautovic, all for 30 mill a pop. Bargains from Steve we just couldn’t quite get over the line.

15/16 he would have been with Walsh in charge, so I'm pretty sure he's just attaching his name to a rising star.

Like I said, not sure if Everton were but deffo teams sniffing then because I remember seeing it on the Internet. Lots of scouts at Molde. Think United maybe bid.

Stop lying for Steve, Jimbo

I wouldn't touch Steve with a bargepole but still have one eye on Liam:

 

[Yarrgh]

Walsh told the Athletic : “While I was at Everton, I offered them Andrew Robertson and Harry Maguire deals, when they were at Hull, and it was worth £20 million for the pair. Everton wouldn’t take them.
“I had a deal done for Jonny Evans too before he came to Leicester, but again they wouldn’t take him. Erling Haaland, the striker with Salzburg, I had him and his dad at the club with a deal done for £3.4m (€4m). The club wouldn’t back me.”

How much the pair? (Oh it actually said £20 million).

Yes. Bring him back. He's probably still on the payroll anyway knowing us.

You would hope so but...

...Has anyone read the recent interview with Steve Walsh? If true, it makes you wonder who was actually pulling the strings at Everton...
Where we only interested in big money marquee signings?

Has anyone ever broken down which players he signed and which players Koeman signed?

Koeman;

Siggurdsson
Klaassen
Martina
Rooney
Enner Valencia

Walsh;

Sandro
Keane
Pickford

Koeman did as much if not more damage.

 

[Toffeelover]

Not needed.

 

[GwladysPhil]

He's trying to save his reputation.

"yeah, 16 year old at the time striker, the one banging in goals for fun in the champions league now, knew he was going to be good before everyone else"


Haaland was actually close to being released then - he wasn't growing or too small. He wen through a huge growth spurt in the last year and a half which is why he's sudden;y come out of nowhere.

Who pushed for Bolassie? I know no one was to know he'd do his ACL, but it was big money for a guy who was arguably quite a limited player?

 

[COYBL25]

“Ok so Steve, why did you buy Gylfi Sigurdsson for £45m?” would be my sole counter question to all of that.

Closely followed by, " how many times did you watch Yannick Bolasie before deciding to pay 28 mil for him "
