My worry of Barkley is that he'll now go in January for a bag of peanuts, he's also going to miss the next couple of months with a hamstring injury. We basically signed Klaassen and Siggy as his replacements too.
Saying Walsh needs to be sacked or resign is going a bit far mate, we've got no idea what really went down. Koeman pretty much only gets to say what positions/type of players he sighed. Or in some cases he may ask to have a particular player signed (e.g Stek & Martina). It's the Walsh's role to find the target and do the bulk of the work. However to the best of my knowledge Kenwright/Moshiri and the board who then need to negotiate the finances of the transfer. In which case the Siggy deal dragging needs to be blamed on the board and for all we know Walsh went and had targets ready to sign but the board couldn't agree to a deal with the players club.
On Niasse, I actually feel for him. He's an absolute spud of a player but not once has he publicly disrespected the club, missed training or publicly carried on. Yet he continues to make the odd appearance for the under 23's. Such a shame a deal couldn't get done.
