Ronald Koeman discussion

[Geoff Nulty]

True this, sometimes I think peple want us to go and panic buy someone for the sake of it, if we cant get the right man why bother going for pretty much anyone? We almost did that with that clown that went to Spurs last summer, we dodged a bullet on that but this summer, im glad we didnt do that again.
We had a very good window on the deals we did, we got good players who we wanted, but the problem is we didnt shift enough deadwood and couldn't identify anyone that would really make a differance

Agreed. And, in terms of perception, we bought players too early. If we'd bought Rooney, Keane, and Pickford last night, we'd all be thinking differently about the window, because we'd be caught up in the deadline drama of it all. I'm not saying the window was perfect, but it certainly wasn't the failure it's been painted to be. And we're just one lot of fans complaining about it all. Chelsea, City, maybe, Arsenal for certain - they'll all be moaning at the way things have turned out.

All rather comfortable isn't it which never leads to success we will just coast along for the next two seasons

Probably mate, I only hope he builds a good enough side for his successor to truly compete with.

 

[Khalekan]

You'd all be better off just excepting that Koeman isn't going anywere until the end if his contract following the 18-19 season and dealing with it. He isn't going to walk out of a contract like that and he won't get the sack because results will never be bad enough to justify it (Koeman knows how to drag out results when things aren't going well) so apart from winning a cup (which is almost as unlikely as a relegation battle) and making sombody interested enough to buy his contract out he isn't going anywere.

Sadly true...

Happily true for me.

I think Unsworth would do alright with this squad.

That's not a bad call actually mate and id love to see him given a chance.

Koeman needs to let the players settle into a consistent formation now. No more messing about with 5 at the back, it doesn't work anyway. With so many new players to integrate you cant keep chopping and changing the formation.

Spent £230m on players in his time here.

Something badly wrong with recruitment at this club post Moyes' enforced discipline.

Is there? We've had a few stinkers but I wouldn't say it was an unusual amount, compared to other clubs.

The signings seem so random to me...

 

[nikom court]

LOL.

That's the sort of stuff my eleven year does, when he falls out with his " girlfriend " when she cans him once a week

mirrales does dress like an eleven year old girl though!
all ripped jeans and crop tops

 

[BernieWright13]

The signings seem so random to me...

And with no consideration for balance

When you say random, you mean "not all under the age of 23"

If we flopp he will be sacked end of!
He sold our leading goalscorer without finding a replacement first - he should have insisted he had time - the Rooney deal clouded his bad judgement - oh and those amazingly unreported add ons - we asked 100 million got 75 million - Man U paying Rooney's wages for 2 years comes to 15 million + the 10 million undisclosed fee = 25 million - thats a guess but the fact they were not published I guess I may be spot on!
no details yet of how we get the extra 25 million for Lukaku - very strange as when Rooney left for united - they were published right away!
it may just be a coincidence, but we undersold our top goal striker imo!
RK should have insisted on going out and getting in a top striker with that money before we sold Lukaku - bad management - since alan ball was sold to Arsenal!

Replacement name please Joey....who do you want ?
