£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

Martinez was unfairly treated !!

Indeed you are living up to your self professed "worst WUM ever" title. No question mark necessary.

Why thank you maam !!

Ah so Koeman's failings can always be blamed on Martinez, a manager we were extremely happy about after Moyes.

Mate, you are chatting absolute wham.

Koeman took over an absolute mess of a side that finished 11th twice and was getting steadily worst.

He got us European football in his first season.

His predecessor took over a side that finished 6th and was a consistent top 6 finisher.

Have you been in a coma for 5 years or something?

Get out of here with the Martinez crap while we have movement on Siggy you bells.

Ah so Koeman's failings can always be blamed on Martinez, a manager we were extremely happy about after Moyes.

We had a functional, albeit predicable defensive setup when Moyes left.
When Martinez left we had brought in: #
>Cleverley
>Robles
>Kone
>Alcaraz
>Mccarthy
>Barry
>McGeady
>Etoo
>Besic
>Deulofeu
>Mori
>Lukaku
>Rodriguez

How many are still left from his reign are still first team starters? Not one. Not a single one.
How many were good enough for Everton? Lukaku and Barry (in fits and starts).

This is untrue. People who criticised Coco is not due to bitterness. Why should we? He is a failure. I recalled those responses are the reflection on Coco's disciples who continued to bang on their football god's holy grail (the obvious points get away card).

Coco had a positive net spend of around ￡16m per season. He had less constraints in terms of finance than Moyes. Moyes worked under a tighter budget yet he transformed this club from relegation battler to a PL top 7 side during his tenure. Moyes had less cash and budget but he could maintain the standard here while you have witnessed a total downfall in 2014. RM bought in loads of tosh (except Lukaku and Barry) with fair amount of cash and since those are/were not good enough, it takes time to bring new players in and get rid of the deadwood at the sametime. In this case, Koeman has to buy Siguardsson to rebuild this team.

Wow, less of the racism please.

McCarthy and £50m.
Sounds good to me.

I think he will sign this week, all parties will want this over with sooner rather than later.

Regarding Martinez - this is the game I lost faith with him: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35675847
2-0 up with 14 mins to go. He brings on a 2nd striker (Niasse) and we lost 2-3. He even brought Barry on for Lukaku on 89 mins at 2-2.

If it ends up being £45m + Connolly instead of like £30m + McCarthy I'll fume. For about 10 minutes anyway.

 

[evertondotcom]

Clement even says he hope it's done 'today'. Perhaps he's preparing Swansea fans for the worst.

I'm not sure who we could throw into the mixer to be honest.

They want want Niasse. Barkley wouldn't go there. McCarthy is nailed on for Newcastle. Koeman won't let Barry leave. I don't believe they're interested in Connolly and I reckon Besic will be given a chance...

Perhaps Jagielka... maybe even Robles?

 

[ProZ]

I'd settle for 40 and Niasse.

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

25 + McCarthy would be ideal but that might be wishful thinking.

 

[peteblue]

However it ends up it at least now looks like it's coming to an end.......

 

[devogue]

How can people defend Martinez? Absolutely clueless manager who ruined years of consistency. The reason he finished fifth was thanks to Moyes groundwork and because Man United and Spurs had mares of a season.

40 mil and give them
McCarthy and Williams
