Ronald Koeman discussion

[Efcjake]

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.

I disagree with that. The striking situation still wouldn't be resolved in your hypothetical and that is by far the biggest sticking point for people today.

He's Belgium, they're not known for their fashion sense.

Hence the way Jean Claude Van Damme sends himself and Belgium men up in the Coors adverts lol

Disappointing to not get a target man in for his tactics.

However, this might force a faster approach to our play. This could be a huge blessing in disguise.

Spent £230m on players in his time here.

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

Moyes seemed to have a very good system in place for scouting and recruitment. Arguably his biggest strength. Despite this I still think his team building was questionable. But compared to what we've seen from Martinez and Koeman it was far superior.

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

I wouldn't have said no to King from Bournemouth, young but not inexperienced, 16 goals last season.

tbf, Moyes had to buy jacks of all trades, due to cash restrictions...plus he couldn't get out of his KITAP1 mentality, he had decent teams, but always seemed to be afraid to let them off the lead.

Koeman.

Badly let down by the board and his experienced talisman leader.

All within 24 hours.

What must he be thinking.

On the positive side I think Everton (and WBA) will be two of the hardest teams to score against this year. I suspect the games will be tighter but that we will have enough to squeeze out good results from most teams in the PL.

 

[Zatara]

Replacement please Zat ??

que?

"We still haven't replaced Lukaku, Barkley is waiting to leave on a free and the guy I brought in to mentor our young players has been caught driving a Volkswagen Beetle at 2am while p**sed out of his skull. But okay, that's football."

Koeman.

I don't think he'll be too bothered if I am honest with you.

In Ronald's world this is "just football".

He is just putting the time in for the next twenty months or so IMO

I wonder if he has come home from Portugal to get a handle on things

He's 25. He's not young.
