ealingfox Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 Did this not get done then? Thought Fenerbahce would have been a good move for all parties really, even if only a season loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post vanity Posted 9 August 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 9 August 2018 Amazing how much our recruiting picked up once we added Macia/ditched Claudio. Macia came in after that disasterous Claudio summer of crap and appears tonhave done nothing but find us Prem-starter quality talent at good prices. I admit, idk how much Claude does, idk how much Shakey did, but if Macia is our head of recruitment, he deserves some kudos for the strong group of players we've landed since he arrived. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also add to that, I think if Ulloa, Slim, Musa and King all go on the back of that, then he has done a good job moving players out too. Seems to be much more calm and collected in response to signings than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio always maintained he was just the coach and didn't pick the players. Just as he was responsible for the odd good signings, it was Walsh that was responsible for the bad too. His mythical status on with some on here meant that if it was a good signing it was Walsh, if it was bad it was Claudio or someone else. His bubble burst well and truly at Everton, yet still, some claimed all the bad signings were down to Koeman! ??? I think Everton supporters beg to differ. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 10 August 2018 Share Posted 10 August 2018 Claudio picked Slim Shady and sanctioned the huge fee. Walsh had previously scouted and was interested, but at a third of the price we paid. If we'd paid 10 we would have all shrugged our shoulders, but 29mil for that......!!

The only standouts we've signed so far are N'didi and Maguire, both of whom were scouted by Walsh and the team when he was here. So I'm not sure what credit Mascia gets for that, other than not standing in the way of scouting that had already been done. Considering what we paid for Silva, Iheanacho, Iborra they've done nothing to warrant the money and we haven't even seen any of the new guys play yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted 10 August 2018 Share Posted 10 August 2018 Got a lot of time for Slimani as a player, just unlucky for him that his preferred position is also that of the greatest bloke ever to wear the shirt’s. Can’t say the money spent on the guy bothers me that much, scored some big goals for us, especially that one against Porto, so good luck to him. No hard feelings about his time here from me.

So you throw the ‘disastrous Claudio’ under the bus but then go on to say idk how much Shakey did? How much Claude does? Sounds to me like you haven’t a fvcking clue and used the difference in recruitment to take a dig at CR for some bizarre reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
