Koeman: "We've only spent £7m"

[Kinky Koeman]

Any updates? Heard Koeman has highlighted the 3 positions that 99% of fans have highlighted. Really expect us to stump up the cash for these deals asap.

LCB - LB - The Vermaelen link is the only player that meets the profile so far. I'll be honest, I would rather a younger more athletic lad coming in. His injury record is a huge concern.

Winger - The pace people want, it's likely to be Sigurdsson whilst not every bodies ideal player, he will be a welcome addition for me. Direct and hardworking.

Striker - Not convinced we've went about replacing Lukaku wisely, we've hit a stalemate on Giroud and look unprepared heading into the market. Feel we are going to end up with a unconvincing signing here. Really wanted a Dzeko/Giroud type player, so will be disappointed if we fail. We need to get the striker right.

I've related the manner in which he spoke, I'm not disputing the words used.
The Echo made it out like he was ranting and he most certainly was not.

Was he grunting?

What's most worrying about what Koeman said was the price he put on Lukaku.

He said 95m and the club have said 75m which makes it sound like the club is trying to pretend that they are spending more than they are.

Well said mike. You'll learn that Goat is wrong in just about all his posts.

How very dare, I supply factual information that always seems to fit the agenda im pushing at any given time, I demand that you bend the knee.

He did exactly the same in january with schneiderlin when everton were dragging their feet. Hes not calling him out, more like giving them a hurry up. This sigurdsson deal is taking a long time and a team with the ambitions we say we have dont haggle over £2m quid. I just read comments from a frustrated man whos not getting the answers he wants.

Don't disagree with that Mate, but he's not going to s**t on his own doorstep.

£10 to a charity and you have yourself a deal, not a chance Lukaku is top scorer next season

Game on ........

 

[nsno-chris]

You are right. It will probably be more due to inflation.

Lukaku will probably be worth 150m whereas those players will be worth perhaps 25m.

Football is played on a football pitch lid, not on an excel spreadsheet. You're Fifa team as no resemblance to real life

Scoring 60 odd goals for a team in four seasons against only the 'bottom 14' is an alarming stat. United must be concerned he can only win rubbish three points for them rather than quality three points against the 'top 6'.

They must have been pissing themselves they got him for £75m

C'mon mate, you've been here a day. Do really want a rep so badly?

You are very tiresome.

Our manager is the one that said it not me.

From the man who hasn't taken down his Lukaku pictures from his ma's box room. Get Fifa on lid, sign Messi for Everton, it'll make you feel better

Load of nonsense.

Koeman should play more FIFA. It may allow him to first try out a few formations and different lineups before blowing 100m.

Don't laugh. Everyone from the military to big business uses mathematical models. FIFA is just one with good graphics.
