KOEMAN EXPECTS TO DO BUSINESS IN JANUARY

Matt Le Tissier has claimed that Ronald Koeman is going to find it tough with Everton - and that he expects the Blues to spend big in January.

The Sky Sports pundit spent his entire professional football career with Southampton, where Ronald Koeman left in the summer to take charge at Goodison Park .

Le Tissier admitted that he was surprised by the move at the time and believes that the Dutchman could have got a bigger move.

"I said at the time that I was surprised that he almost made a backwards step," Le Tissier told Sky Sports.

"I think it's going to be tougher for him at Everton than he thought. No disrespect to Everton but I thought he could have got a bigger move given the great work he did at Southampton .

"Having said that, I think it would be too early for him to regret moving. There's still plenty of time for the investment, assuming it is there. You can understand why he went, with there being more money for him to attract players.

The 48-year-old went on to say that he expects Everton to be big spenders in the January transfer window.

He said: "I'd expect them to invest in January and the summer as I think he wanted to assess his squad first.

"If he doesn't spend big then I think that might be a sign that he has been sold down the river a bit.

"It's been a decent start but he's come across plenty of bumps in the road."

Well we're only the 7th oldest in the Prem mate (average of 28) so no we don't.

We do need to be targeting players in the 24-27 bracket though (i.e. in or approaching their prime)

i make our starting XI average age to be 29.5, have put barkley down as 23 and baines 32 with the birthdays in a couple of weeks. i cant see any 11 being older than that.
 
"If he doesn't spend big then I think that might be a sign that he has been sold down the river a bit."

Can't really argue with that bit.

Maybe. But I do think the money is there to spend. It's just hard to get players in of a certain quality. Koeman should have realised this himself before he came, if, and it's only an if, he's going to think he's been sold down any rivers.
