Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

And what would you expect him to say Dave?

"We're going for a midfielder, striker and a goalkeeper"?

It's October... Wait until January comes around ey.

He could say he's going to make sure we strengthen each window...which is what RM used t say and it was generally true.

He said "we can always be better and always be stronger. If good players are available and we have that opportunity we will go for them."

Exactly. He needs to let the current squad know their place is not set in stone. Some of them still think they can just turn up, that has to change.

"...always difficult to get players of quality in January, blah blah blah".

Maybe we will, maybe we wont. Just saying, his words dont give the impression we will.

Yeah we strengthened so much that we actually got progressively worse

 

[Khalekan]

The middle of the season is not the time to be completely overhauling any squad.

We won't get more than 3 in IMO. What matters is the quality of the players that we do bring in.

Agreed.

There seems to be an irrational belief hereabouts that the January window is going to be a panacea for us but like you, I don't think any major players will some in.

Summer will tell the tale IMO.

Surely hes made the rooney comment as he thinks its what we want to hear? Same as him saying the fans want this type of football?

Surely both nonsense???

The fans want the football Ronny plays.

If you even listened he said hes fairly happy with the defensive side, but not happy at all with the attacking.

He plays fast, direct, pressing football, every fan in the world likes that football.

If we are still competing for the European places we will spend money, if we arent, theres no point in "wasting" money in January.

Dont make me laugh, Martinezs idea of improving the team is loaning an injured yard dog like TreeA or overspending on utter tosh from Russia like McGeady and Niasse and before you say it, we are paying McGeady on utter fortune each week.

What do you mean mate, we strengthened in every window under Bob Martin.

Rooney would be a marketing tool, a player that attracts other players.

THINK

 

[Woolly Blue]

Koeman's last chance for me on Sunday.

Doesn't look even a little bit arsed if we win, lose or draw, some enthusiasm and emotion would be nice.

Beautiful work, but irony is lost on a few folk on here !
