Confirmed Signing Cuco Martina

[ijjysmith]

I didn't expect it; I hoped for it last summer given the rhetoric. I hoped for it this summer too, but with it probably not happening it would just reaffirm that, at best, Moshiri will be a status quo owner, which doesn't correlate with his remarks through Jim White etc.

He raised the expectations, not us.

He didn't raise my expectations. Seen too many false dawns to allow myself that luxury.

I like that you've written this summer off too as 'probably not happening'. In May.

Cocu & Kone?

Not at all, just saying the way I'm feeling the wind blowing at the moment - players not signing contracts, squad options being brought in on a free... All feels a bit "Kenwrighty" to say the least.

Could easily change.

 

[Khalekan]

Didn't he start 20+ games for them last season? Might be completely wrong, but thought I read that somewhere?

Just checked.

He played 15 league games and 9 cup games.

He is now third choice RB behind Soares and someone called Pied and has been cut from the Saints roster.

 

[Tez]

Not seen him play so can't really get worked up either way.

I want an influx of new players though, so I'm not going to moan if a few are these sort of squad signings, so long as the first team signings come too.

Quite possibly could be. But there's no way of knowing what's happening, or will happening as yet.

I guess it's normal to fear the worst as it's what we've been used to. I'd rather wait and see myself though.

you're happy to get rid of dead wood like cleverley, oviedo etc to just replace them with more dead wood?

 

[lancs blue]

Koeman has said he will keep his phone close at all times. eBay have employed more staff to cope with the expected activity. Walsh and kenwright will be sat round a phone in an office ringing around. just eat have employed more staff.

sounds the sort of player we should sign. wages above quality always prevails

 

[diggerdestroyer]

That names sounds like a middle-aged woman escort who has a poster in a newsagents.

By liking this am i showing that i read such adverts

 

[BillLovesRoo]

Cocu & Kone?

Liverpool legand Jan Kromkamp there too

 

[BillLovesRoo]

I see this as a bit of a strange one.

Koeman worked so hard to get rid of "squad" players such as Oviedo, Gibson, Cleverley etc. And was even quoted as saying he wants a strong team but a lot of the back up will be 18-23, on the basis of you can't keep a 27-28 year old happy if he is not getting game time.
Surely Holgate (despite his limitations going forward) is an able deputy and every time i see Kenny play he gets better & better

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

This is an odd one. Of course we need competition for every position, but we've got Holgate, JJK & Conolly, who can cover right back.

Walsh and co. should take a leaf out of my book on FM. I got Ulloa on loan.

That's a statement signing right there.
