[News]Klaassen: Adapting to English game has not been easy

[Waltzer]

Every man and his dog has had their chance now. Why not him?

Ask him, it's like you said, everyone has been given a chance except him so clearly he isn't doing something that others are. I'd say it says more about Klassens character and drive if we've got kids getting a run out or showing more in training that they're taking his place in the squad.

Ronald Koeman, the feller who signed him didn’t give him much of a chance , what does that tell you about his ability?

He was signed as Ronald’s inside man in the dressing room and to get us deep into the Europa league.
I can’t think of any other reason?

This season, Everton have been managed by Koeman, Unsworth and Allardyce. Koeman of course brought Klaassen here and with the Dutch connection I thought he'd be a key player but very early on Koeman used him less and less until he was just simply someone taking up space on the subs bench. Unsworth didn't seem confident to utilise him when he was caretaker manager and now Sam Allardyce does not include him.

I think this is very much a case of Klaassen not settling or adapting to the English game and none of the three managers have been impressed by him. I expect he will be on the move in January, at least on loan to another club.

Deserves a crack, mind you hes meant hes a creative player so doesn't fit into Allardyces tactics

[brap2]

Must be absolute garbage in training mustn’t he.

Can’t get my head around a player good enough to play for Ajax at that level who can’t get near the Everton squad? Must be more to him than what we’ve seen. Play him instead of one of your defensive midfielders maybe.

[Juanito]

I’m sure he would have been more effective than James McCarthy yesterday. Especially with a ‘shield’ of Gana and Schneiderlin.

Of course it’s all Alladryce fault!

Not like the guy who signed him played him every game
Or
When he played he was like Messi

No it’s all big sams fault, no agenda here !!! 

[eugene]

Think he’s just at the wrong club at the wrong time, koeman went all out to install a type of football he believed we could play without fully understanding how his new signings would knit together.
When it didn’t work there was no plan B.
He needs to go out on loan or be sold because the whole model has now changed

Fuck me you're properly touchy, aren't you?

Where did i say it was his fault?

[Bob Sacamano]

I think he’s trying to tell us something

[Shogun]

Considering we’ve pretty much nothing to play for (or at least shouldn’t do if we win a few games) then we should be trying to get him and Sandro into the team as much as possible for the rest of the season.

Yeah we’re going to have to win a few more games yet before anyone is beginning to think of that sort of idea.

A lot will depend on if they’re willing to stick around though.

[gizzblue]

Sam couldvery well rotate all these players now ...but he will stick to bring overly defensive imho ....even after the golden 40 points.

[Alanvideo]

In the short time I've seen Klaasen on the pitch he looks skilful but physically weak ,like an even weaker version of Ossie.
