Oh yeah I get that. It's a better job too (as DOF) and it's hugely disappointing but that doesn't take away my other two points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect they are quite 'hands on' Yeah great he will be good on offering Keane and Brady shit loads no doubt. Walsh is a scouting kingpin throughout Europe. this feels like a pre admin fire sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to leave, for whatever reasons, then so be it.. I felt the same when Mark McGhee left. i agree it is very odd, but before we tar and feather Rudders, let's wait for a statement from the Club. We we need a new signing (and not Brady) to energise us all. To be honest I don't want any new signings if Walsh leaves... it'll be Matt Mills and Yakubu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyFox Posted 18 July 2016 Share Posted 18 July 2016 We all need to calm down, rest assured Everton have probably doubled/trebled his wages and his daughter and family live in the North-West. Snap up Southamptions chief scout, horrible how the food chain works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because after the most successful season in the clubs history key assets are leaving with very little resistance. Just like when the teams not playing well the manager gets the blame and in this instance its the man in charge of negotiating and keeping ahold of our assets. City could have easily matched Evertons terms but as i've said the man in charge of the negotiating probably feels letting Walsh leave will enhance his own position and job security. Its speculation sure but i doubt its far from the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 18 July 2016 Author Share Posted 18 July 2016 This isn't just a bigger loss than Kante imo, it makes me more pissed off. No disrepect to Everton and I don't think our success of last season has gone to my head but FFS, we have a better chance of winning the league next season, we have European football, something Everton don't even have a sniff off, we have a better chance than Everton of qualifying for European football next season. Fuming about this one and he's even more of a judas than Kante, atleast Kante has joined a club that stands quite a high chance of challenging at the top, qualifying for European football and playing with some of the world best players. ****ing Everton...hardly a step up. Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylanlegend Posted 18 July 2016 Share Posted 18 July 2016 To me this means 1 of 2 things: (1) we lack ambition. Not willing to meet people's wage demands. Even Kante said Chelsea are a team that matches his ambition. Although the owners have delivered on their European football promise, it is more by luck (and Walsh) this has happened, not by their investment. Do the owners realise this or do they think it's easy? (2) Walsh lacks ambition. CR and his team has decided we need to be looking at a higher calibre of player than Keane, Brady or Deeney. So they want to focus on different targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
