Koeman: "We've only spent £7m"

[davek]

But I thought he'd only spent £7m

No, he spent £100M. £100M of recycled money - half of which was mugged off him by no mark clubs who saw what an utter mug he is.

Rawk-esh

I never thought I'd say this, but its outdone it.

Sad day for Everton fans everywhere

No one here has a clue what's going on behind the scenes. Do you think a striker not signing is down to Koeman? The price we paid for players, down to koeman? We looked like we were gonna get the full squad overhaul in place before season's start. He's said he wants 3 others for weeks now.

When the season starts and we struggle for goals against the top sides we face in the first five games

Just remember we didn't replace Lukaku and that's why

Ok mate, in fact I'll cry myself to sleep every night 'remembering' it.

And then console yourself with the fact that Lukaku wouldnt have scored against any of them anyway.

Criminal selling lukaku and not having a solid replacement lined up. School boy management. Just like old times.

Maybe nobody wants to sell their 20/25 goals per season proven prem striker.

Guess he might have to look around for 3 or 4 players that chip in with 10 goals apiece instead.

There's nothing throwaway about this feller's comments. He has an intended target for every comment he makes.

He's spent £100M so far. Time for him to take some responsibility for his idiotic overspend and getting mugged off by two-bit clubs because they knew they were dealing with an impatient Everton manager who refused to bargain them down. They took us to the cleaners and now we have to wait on Barkley and others to be sold to start spending on key positions.

And he dodged a bullet with `Sissoko` ..........

Be particulary annoying as Lukaku will have hit double figures by them for a bargain 75 mil ..............

 

[MikeBlue]

I have a great idea
Why don't we hunt down some if the best young talent in Europe
Put them in our awesome u 23 team or send them out in loan where they will get experience .... then gradually ease them into
The first team as they are either ready or the current player declines ....
I think that's what I would do

Because it doesn't work. Youth success isn't a great indicator and the big clubs are already buying up the more or less sure fire hits like Mbappe and Jesus for big money and giving them first team football. Even players like Sanchez and Deulofeu etc have failed so far to live up to the hype.

If you are going to go the youth route then we need to give them a pathway into our first team.

We should have copied the Monaco and Ajax model and hired Frank De Boer instead and gave him time.

Except he's about as close to the negotiations as you or me.

 

[Khalekan]

Difference between January and now is that the sympathy wont all be with him on the matter. Most blues' reaction to yesterday's comments was to do a double take and wonder wtf he was complaining about.

I said it earlier: he is now playing the second instalment of a very dangerous game in openly casting aspersions about the the club's squad investment. If we dont get good results and and he plays that hand again he'll be hurtling toward the exit.

You dont buy a dog for close on £7M per season and expect to be continually bitten by it.

lol

Correction, he will get a few Utd away.

 

[blulouie]

The media aren't making out anything. It's the fans who were deluded

Ok

 

[DrEFC]

Bedwetters FC.
He's been told money is no object. He wants players in to win something tangible this season- Sigurdsson & Giroud would likely help this than a first team in development. We've been pissin & moaning that our young players needed experienced heads/winners in the squad

He pocketed 95m for lukaku. You seriously think no clubs are prepared to sell their strikers for a wedge of that? Lukaku has been off for weeks and weeks.

We'll be lucky to finish 7th with that set of forwards.
