Its quite obvious in my eyes the way its playing out..
Lets look at the facts.
Utd want Jose and LVG, they cant decide, Everton want Jose as first choice, Koeman second.
Jose wants UTD first, Everton second.
Koeman has met Saints this week, nothing has come out, i.e. new contract. Quite obvious he wants to speak to us.
The sooner UTD sort out theres, the sooner we do too.
I've not been following events too closely the last couple of days, so it's possible that I've missed something, but I don't see any facts here, only supposition and speculation, with a splash of wishful thinking.
We don't know who Everton want. They're probably deciding around now which candidates they want to interview. There's not been any firm indication that Jose will be on that list.
What Jose really wants has to be total speculation, I agree it seems reasonable to assume United are his first choice, but Everton second ? I doubt it very much. Valencia are offering bags of money and no doubt he'll have several other good offers by now.
While I'm not ruling Koeman out by any means, it's not so obvious to me that he would be interested.
