Player Valuation: £70m
I think he's good at adding control to a midfield, which has been sorely lacking.
And of course he has funny hair, which is a big plus point.
But then where would we play Hamsik...?

In your world he will assess what he's got, which may take till August and then try and buy 4 or 5 players, 2 weeks before the season starts. When all of a sudden his target may be wanted by other clubs in the champions league. Like if man Utd can't get matic they may turn to witsel
I will be amazed if 2 or 3 players aren't brought in. In the next couple of weeks. He's already mentioned about a goalkeeper. Think he will be lining up a CB to with jags 34 and question marks over stones. And a centre mid. As we seemed to be getting linked with a few.
Imo is much easier to buy, and then get rid of players not wanted than the other way around
Not sure what you two are taking about. With pre-season not starting for a few weeks. And a number of players not probably back until mid July.

You cannot spend serious money on a player with Strootman's injury record.
Zenit massively overpaid for Witsel and with one year left on his contract there is no way they get near £30m for him. More importantly he isn't worth it. He's probably better than McCarthy but not a patch on Wanyama or Dembele, at least within the context of the demands of English football.
At this stage we have the media leading with:
1. Players that are being actively hawked by their agents
2. Anyone Dutch
3. Anyone with a link to Koeman from Southampton or elsewhere
4. Previously little heralded players having their 15 minutes at the Euros
Koeman needs to see the squad and figure out what Rom, Stones, Ross want. Until then he can only look at the areas where it is obvious we need to improve, goal-keeper, centre-mid and left midfield.
One or more players could come in these positions but I think we are a month away from serious activity. Not ideal but the consequence of a late manager appointment and the Euros.

Can't see us taking a chance on Strootman, he is injury prone at the moment what is he going to be like in the Premier League.

I'd have witsel over wanyama all day. I agree wouldn't pay 30mil for witsel . But I'm not a big fan of wanyama, yes he's strong and powerful but doesn't over much else, Imo he's just a spoiler
And Dembele is a totally different player to wanyama. Up to 12 months ago Dembele was seen as an inconsistent luxury player.
Mario Gomez, he even has his own song so saves us the time to come up with one.

Nah
Absolutely no to Strootman for me; brilliant player but he's one more cruciate away from having to retire I reckon.

It's all about opinions mate, and that's just mine. I understand what you are saying, but even if he has got players in mind (which I'm sure he has) he has also said several times that he firstly needs to address the situations with Stones, Lukaku. Seeing as though they are at the Euro's, those conversations are not going to be taking place any time soon. Those 2 staying/ going will hugely affect his targets id imagine. RK has also said he wants to see players up close to assess what may be required. How can he do that until they return for pre season?
