Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

No.

Said we are looking to sign some players in January
Barkley is working hard in training
Is very pleased with Holgate and is confident to use him

But ok.

No mate.

He said that there might be more of an argument for looking at bringing players in during January (given the injury to Bolasie) - not exactly a guarantee at this club

He said if Barkley was to play he needs to show it in training during the week. 'He's doing his best he can, but needs to bring more productivity'.

Holgate is a young player who's form dipped (did it?) and it's difficult for young players to produce it on a regular basis.

Holgate was playing boss before he was volleyed to the bench.

Koeman said he was tempted by the window today in wake of Bolasies injury

Tempted? Is he for real? So if Bolasie was fit he wouldn't be going in at all by the sounds of it

Can he not see the squad needs desperate surgery and quickly!? Dead wood needs outing and quality bringing in (as it did in the summer and did not happen)

Why do I get the feeling we will be disappointed once again. I genuinely don't believe we have the money we are "said" to have

Wahey, superfan kev is here

You love it

Yep. I didn't understand that claim.

 

[orly]

Nah, you used to be sound on here with your funny meltdowns, now you've gone into fake ITK and abusing fans you're on the @hktoffee tier. Sad to see.

He needs to be sectioned for saying Barkley "needs to do more" and then picking Cleverley in his place. It is a joke.

If Holgates form dipped (which it didn't) so he dropped him, god knows how what he see's when he watches Cleverley, he must like Messi in training.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Cleverley start on Saturday mate.

Doesn't know who he's selling yet does he

Sadly, history, and Occam's razor, tells us that this is our most likely January window.

Depends how much Mosh flogs Lukaku for...

 

[Ernie]

Good to see some blues getting on to the fact we don't have serious money to spend

Because he doesn't need to be that type of player? He's very good as a poacher, as someone who gets on the shoulder of the last man, and as someone who picks the ball up in wide positions and runs at people. He's not going to modify the game that has got him known as one of the world's top young strikers just to make him more suited to our current hoofball style is he?

Of course he would be a better player if he was very good at everything, but very very few are. Costa, for example, is much better than him in the air and at holding the ball up, but lacks Lukaku's pace and dynamism. Giroud would be the same, Benteke's a beast but could never score the type of goal Lukaku scored at City for example, or Chelsea in the cup last year.

Costa is everything you would want in a striker, I love him.

No relevance for the thread but he's an absolute hero, needle and snide aots
