Last Wednesday: http://www.voetbalprimeur.nl/media/698515/chinezen-krijgen-waar-voor-hun-geld-wereldgoal-pell-.html

http://www.vi.nl/nieuws/southampton-in-gesprek-met-fc-utrecht-over-haller.htm (translation by me, apologize for inadequacies) " Southampton is negotiating a transfer from Sébastien Haller with FC Utrecht. The English club would like to enroll the striker, but has not put a concrete offer on the table yet. That will happen though. Southampton will have to pay between seven and ten million Euros for Haller, whose has a contract until mid 2019.(...) With Southampton Haller should be the successor of Graziano Pellè, who went to China. The club' s new manager, Claude Puel, knows Haller well and has his sights put on his arrival. Haller made an impression on Puel with his games for Young France. Haller has not spoken yet with him, but he is eager to move to Southampton. His friend and agent Loïc Gustan did have talks with Southampton management's about the plans and held a good feeling about it. 22 yoer old Haller now focusses on Southampton only. He cancelled talks with AS Monaco and does not want to go to Newcastle, because the club has been relegated. The previously interested Sporting Lisboa choose Bas Dost. If Southampton and FC Utrecht do not come to a deal, then Haller stays in the Netherlands and he will try to be transferred in the winter."

(google translation adapted by me) There is by no means a personal deal between Ronald Koeman and Everton , let his agent Rob Jansen be known on Saturday. According to the representative , all the stories concerning an agreement of the Southampton coach with the club from Liverpool are premature. " That's really not the case. First, the clubs must have agreed . Then we get back into action," said Jansen. "I can not say whether his brother Erwin will go along as an assistant . That's all still premature now . Let's just quietly wait if the clubs come to an agreement. " Southampton would receive around five million euros for the departure of the 53 -year-old Dutchman . His brother Erwin Koeman is already being assistant at Southampton.

That is 4 mil euros Everton are offering Southampton to buy off his contract.

Southampton and Everton are in talks about Ronald Koeman, agent Rob Jansen confirmed to NOS ( Dutch national television). http://nos.nl/artikel/2108923-everton-wil-ronald-koeman-binnen-etmaal-presenteren.html

Voetbal International ( a specialized Dutch magazine and website with a good name) is reporting it too.

Jan Poortvliet played in the World Championship final 1978.

Liverpool when they play Benteke.

in 2013, the KNVB (Dutch FA) offered Ronald the job of assistant to the to be appointed head coach Hiddink (with the perspective of becoming head coach when Hiddink retired) - when Ronald had made it known he was available as head coach himself. Ronald refused, probably offended. The job of assistant then went to Blind, and Koeman ended up at Southampton.

"(...) a domineering afternoon for one of the Premier League’s most complete strikers" (link to Squawka article)

Off all people, Clasie is the elephant?

Japan vs Cambodia 3-0; Yoshida scores the second.

And Ola Toivonen. Ronald Koeman, after losing 3-0 with Feyenoord to PSV in 2012 remarked "One opponent [PSV player Ola Toivonen, since this window Sunderland player] made 8 fouls and nobody got angry. That is not good. In a team you need men like Ola Toivonen to stir up things, in whatever manner. We have, unfortunately, too few of them."

I'm dutch, I did not know there was a difference until this post. Btw, Clasie went to the same school as Van Persie, Martins Indi, Wijnaldum, Fer, De Vrij, De Guzman, Kongolo and Janmaat.

48k a week in euros, about 34k in BP.

"This train passes once in a lifetime" is the Valencia quote as I remember it. Apart from that I agree with all your assessments, including the a**kisser one.

According to the German " Kicker" Southampton are still interested, but refuse to pay 5.500.000 euro. There are talks ongoing about different conditions.

May be Bologna wants him back.

Is SkySports a reliable source? twitter link.

Koeman will know him better, he added 16 year old Wijnaldum to Feyenoord's first team in 2007.

The new "markthal" is nice for lunch. The open air market is on tuesday and saturday. The building with the yellow pipes is accesible (it's a library); the stranded UFO is an underground \ train station.

Monaco don't sign loaned Maarten Stekelenburg, who has two years left with Fulham.

18.

Ronald Koeman tried to sign Memphis Depay last summer. Memphis refused; he wanted to win the Dutch league at least once and succeeded. Abut the google translation: "a chance" = "no chance"; "plus it has" = "plus he has"; "not play anything" = "not play every game"; 38 premier league games is to much for a young player.

"Groningen 18 july, Feyenoord 6 days later" some websites quoting VI (Voetbal International), quoting Koeman.
