Ronald Koeman discussion

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

According to a Belgian friend of mine who viewed the original article, the Press here have mistranslated Koeman's words.

Even if he did say this, though, it's hardly the end of the world.

Barcelona IS a bigger club than us and Rom does deserve better than a midtable English club.

 

[Elong]

It really isn't that bad what he's said.

I'm sorry Smithy, but it really is. That's some David Moyes crap right there. Knife to a gunfight crap. He should be building our team and chances up, not belittling us.

 

[Ballyfermot]

What the he'll did I miss today?

 

[Elong]

He didn't say that though.

He literally said Rom wouldn't be fulfilling his potential if he stayed at Everton all of his career.

That's true.

Then why doesn't Koeman do something about offering the ability for him to fulfill his potential? You know, like aim for something other than furthering his own fat arrogant self entitlement and future career.

Koeman views us as a stepping stone, now he's telling the players the same thing, plus the media.

What a farce.

 

[Elong]

Honestly reading through this it's like you've all lost any sense of worth and pride in Everton.

It doesn't matter that what he said was probably true. It doesn't mean it needs saying. It CERTAINLY doesn't need agreeing with by so many people.

Most people know your missus is an ugly bird and you know deep down she is too, but I bet you wouldn't nod your head if your mate told you.

HAVE SOME PRIDE IN YOUR CLUB.

I'm not convinced his comments have been presented in the way they were said, or meant.
Ultimately, is there an Evertonian alive who thinks Lukaku is here for the long haul....or any player for that matter. Players and managers are transient....only supporters remain.

He should not have said it, his job is take Everton forward on and off the pitch, he has once again made us a laughing stock with some ill timed comments, we employ him to take us forward. unacceptable in my eyes.

 

[Elong]

Just read those comments. A stepping stone manager for what is now seen as a stepping stone club. We'll never get to the top with this mentality pervading through the club. Get a proper Evertonian in who recognises that this club should be the pinnacle of his life's work not a dress rehearsal for the Barca job.

Spot on.

 

[Ballyfermot]

But Roy Keane coming out and taking the mick out of us is absolutely fine and good on him for speaking the truth.

Your not fit enough to reheat Keanos stew.

 

[Elong]

BREAKING NEWS:

Manager thinks player with potential to be world class is too good for Everton.

Everyone making such a big deal out of his comments. Jesus wept he's telling it as it is.

Jesus wept? Have some pride, he's talking our club down to the media.

 

[Ballyfermot]

Quite belitiling? this is a fella that has won titles as a player and a manager, a manager at a "smaller club" finished above us in his 2 seasons in england, a manager that has played for Barcelona, Ajax and one of the best Netherlands teams in history.
You think he views Everton, a team that has won 1 FA cup in 28 years and 0 trophies in 21 years as a big enough club for a player of Romelu Lukaku's calibre.
Ron is a realist, his ceiling is very high and at the moment we are on the carpet!

Ouch.

 

[Khalekan]

Think the problem is twofold. He's too honest for his own good. And he's not been here long enough to "get" Everton or the fans. I doubt he ever will even if he sees out his contract.

And it works both ways.

We don't "get" him.

 

[Elong]

Dutch Moyes doing the Moyes thing of undermining the club hes at and downplaying expectations.

/runs.

Nope, spot on.

He'll be talking about a clog to a gunfight soon.

 

[chrissyjack]

Nope, spot on.

He'll be talking about a clog to a gunfight soon.

Maybe we should try playing in clogs , Can't be worse than last Saturday

 

[Bungle]

He doesn't look like he's arsed about being here, lacks any real passion for the job. The warning signs were there when he could barely be bothered to miss a couple of days holiday to sign his deal and then immediately jumped back on a plane. Tit.

I never know if you're serious, but it's spot on all the same.

His career > Everton's fortunes.
