Your idea mate, pinched it. Thanks.

On transfers - in the past, whenever we spent decent money - age/resale value was always the key factor.

Now - I think Koeman will be going for established players already in the prime. 27-30. He only expects to be here for a couple of seasons, he wants to impress before moving elsewhere - he's not building long term.

I suspect any youth in his team will be those already in the team.

All teams need established experienced players in the squad, the ones we have a the moment just aren't good enough. To get success he needs the right players, success then breeds success. If you are a young player breaking into a team which is content to be mid-table then you will be at that level. If we are challenging at the top we will attract players and develop youth capable of that level.
I know we like a wee moan but to moan about the manager only being interested in short term success before he buys his players or kicks a ball is surely premature. Besides after Martinez any success would be a good thing.

I know he's a red nose as a child but how is it we've not been linked with Ashley Williams??

Fantastic defender especially last year he was formidable and he's having a cracking Euro's to boot, he's been with Swansea for eight years surely a big money move could bring him to Goodison?

because hes nearly 32, swanseas captain and theyd want big money for him mate
 
If Witsel comes in. I would think a defensive player like a kante from Leicester who breaks up play would be needed in midfield.
McCarthy can do this job and Koeman may help him become a better player. He runs he heart out when on form and first season he came was amazing last ditch tackles etc.
Besic would also be possible for this job. So I wouldn't be pushed for a schneiderlin or cavalho to be signed.
Witsel seems a box to box player therefore I hope Koeman adopts a single cdm instead of the Martinez 2 in front of back four. Especially when playing at home. We need to be on the front foot controlling the match make goodison a fortress. Getting 12-15 home wins would give us a platform for a top 4 finish as 5/6 wins away would give us over 60pts

The fact you're citing last ditch tackles as a positive shows how pointless McCarthy is.

if he come and plays left i'll be quite gutted really. my wife and her family are mancs, so I see quite a lot of them playing. mata is wasted out wide.

if we want a left mid/winger, buy a left mid/winger who can do the role the manager wants, if of course he doesn't see a ready made player already in the squad

After we have signed Witsel. We shall get Strootman or Schneiderlin or William Cavalho to partner him.

Barry has a year left in his contract as backup. McCarthy is ok as backup too. I will keep Besic. That's leave Gibson and Cleverley and we can sell them as they are surplus to requirement. Maybe Barry will not accept as a backup player and leave. In this case, Gibbo stays.
