Birds of a feather flock together
WRD1878's post on TEF:
Mr Koeman spoke to a number of people on Friday and gave away some interesting things.
He believes he has inherited the most unbalanced squad ever and says it's all left backs and right wingers.
He says the squad lacks height and physicality.
He doesn't want to play tippy tappy football, he says why have his defenders play the ball left, right, left, right back to the keeper and launch, when the keeper can do that.
He wants domineering defenders. When asked about who he is targeting he hinted that the guys already knew. He hinted at going back to Southampton for a defender, but the word is that it will be Fonte rather than Van Dijk.
Niasse has been told he can go.
Signing wise, he said to expect a big name signing in 2 days. So assuming he means today or tomorrow, if you take out the weekend. I should know more on Carvalho over the next couple of days.
As has already been mentioned all over the papers, Stones has said he wants to leave and Koeman has been planning for life without him.
So looking at what he has said, I think we can expect some taller more physical beasts to come in and some more direct football. They will still be told to play football, but the plan will be to hit the strikers quicker. He wants his strikers to press the centrebacks.
They seem to think he's ITK on there.
Sounds right. Only that Martinez hypnotised himself and pretended everything was ok and we were on the up despite we didn't do practicing in setpiece. The fraud. Still fuming even he is gone. How much money he is gonna to rip this football club off soon...
