I want us to start the season with options, not a team.
Ross is first choice, but I want an alternative. I want different midfielders foe different roles. I want more than one striker who isn't Kone to give us options up front.
Sounds demanding but most clubs normally have that. Ideally I want koeman to play the team in front of him not his team. So different line ups, different tactics and different players to do thst also.
Technically we have that out wide already with del, Kevin, Aaron there who all offer something different. Just a bit more throughout the squad and it will be a successful transfer window for me.
Considering tarashaj is already there and niasse is still a mystery, that could be two options straight away.
Stones had an abysmal game vs Liverpool tbf.Fair enough, can't argue with most of that. Though what do you mean by 'his performances'?
Bar the first half vs Swansea, I can't think of any all-round performance that was awful.
It's not like Barkley, Del or Rom - who all literally had entire runs of games where they were next to useless.
Stones made mistakes, and had a patch after xmas where they all seemed to come at once - but overall his performances were on the level. If he'd had played four games in a row like how he did vs Swansea, then yeh, I'd agree with you.
Yep. Niasse is a no go. Get rid asap.Honestly mate he isn't a systery and won't be any sort of valid option, I'm all for giving players a chance - but in this regard every chance we give him from now on will just see another chunk knocked off whatever we can con someone into paying for him, need to ship him off anywhere we can get him too asap

Get ready for plenty of fume on this forum
Sky sports just confirmed spurs are in talks with Vincent Jansen
My guess he will be loaned back to Russia... hopefully some Chinese team comes in with a £300m bid for him, but more likely it will be loan and then disappear.
Interesting to see what spurs do business wise this window with them obviously needing to strengthen the squad a lot due to CL this coming season, Janssen if the reported fee is right that he can go for would be a missed opportunity though, need Koeman to use his dutch connections and status their to not miss out on the best bargains from that league really
As good as payet is he won't be leaving West ham just yet!I'm hoping we go for some "fume" signings. I'd prefer Payet over Mata. And let's get Tadic and Van Dyk too.
Will Koeman be the driving force behind the transfers though or will that be waiting on the DoF, not sure how it will be set up at EFC. Monchi obviously controls all the transfers and fits what the manager requires of a player, but who knows if he or Overmars or someone else is coming and how it will fit together.
Hopefully we don't wait on the Dof appointment to start in the market.
Think what we all hope for is a combination between both manaher and dof as that will work the best.
Meanwhilst think whoever would come in as the DoF would realise that as far as Dutch players go, that Koeman 'should' have quite some knowledge and certainly a lot of influence in being able to bring them here
Do agree we can't just sit around waiting upon a DoF though as could be a whilst before we see that appointment
My number one requirement is that we get in the very best goal keeper that we can. Beyond that, I would like us to focus on injecting more pace, height and energy.
Yep - its a bit of an unknown for us new to this market and how the club will set it up.
If we are waiting for Dof to come in let Koeman recommend the players and go for them till he is here. then let them take control. If Overmars then he will know the dutch players well too.
