Youre an irrelevance to me. Like a RS fan last season.

I would say I agree about De Boers track record not being the most convincing.

As for judging him for what's happened at Inter is a little rough IMO. That club is a disaster and mismanaged. Look what they did to Roberto and De Boer did not even get three months as he was promised bringing in a whole new philosophy.

Nevertheless still wanted RK.

I think what I am worried about is Koeman wanted to waste £30 mil on sissoko £20mil on kone and he also signed Valencia with a view to a £15 mil permanent deal........

Don't remember who was banging on about Vitor Pereira as manager (maybe @MoutsGoat?) and I'm pretty sure it was a joke anyway, but Fenerbahce sacked him in August for not getting out of CL qualifying.​

Be honest, you work for a red top dont you?

Just to say we were never seriously in for de Boer.

...it's not straightforward to judge. A player who is not performing for his current club might have dovetailed well with us.

Just to say we were never seriously in for de Boer.

As far as i'm aware (which isn't very far) he was very interested in us, but we never gave him a sniff as you say.

 

[BlueToff]

Seriously though, I really wish we could have at least tried a bid for Mata. Of all the names banded about at the time, his was the only one that stood out for me - and not because of the endless puns!

Who's to say we didn't put in a bid?

I'm sure we registered serious interest/bid for quite a few players that we don't have a clue about.

 

[dandydan]

Wasn't the De Boer link mainly down to his brother talking it up in the press?
