Saint_Abroad Posted 3 June, 2014 Share Posted 3 June, 2014 If we get Koeman can we call him RoKo? I like RonK (pronounced as one word). Given his squarish head, he could color himself green, wear torn purple shorts and when we play Spurs he can scream "RonK smash, RonK smash!" O man the look on poch's face.

SNSUN Posted 3 June, 2014 Share Posted 3 June, 2014 If we get Koeman, it'll spice up the United games. Koeman was Van Gaals assistant at Barcelona. I'm hoping for a little favouritism with loanees and ting. Like the relationship Sir Alex had with his son... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRobbie Posted 3 June, 2014 Share Posted 3 June, 2014 "Michael Laudrup has seemingly ruled himself out of the running for the Southampton and West Bromwich Albion jobs - insisting he would only now take an offer from a 'big club'." http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9336409/michael-laudrup-would-only-take-offer-from-big-club-in-premier-league what an arse, originally thought he'd be a good shout to replace Maurice but over the last few days i've rapidly gone off the idea What a shame - he was such a great manager for Swansea. Shame we're too small for him. HAHAHAHAHAHA! What a prat. I bet he hasn't even been put on West Broms short list either! Blokes delusional!

Minsk Posted 3 June, 2014 Share Posted 3 June, 2014 Says on the BBC article about Lallana that he's hoping Southampton will get a new manager soon so he can complete his move before the WC. Might it be in Southampton's interest not to disclose that they had recruited a new manager until late enough that it can't be completed? I thought Woy said once they had left the UK he wouldn't allow any transfer talks/agents/etc? Surely AL would need to have a medical in Liverpool if he was going there? There's no way he will be allowed to fly back for one. Okay, that could mean everything agreed and transfer would happen dependant on his passing a medical; but I'm pretty sure he will remain on Saints' books until after the world cup now anyway. So we may as well wait until after then to agree the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality from Crook's ladz. He interviewed Yakin's agent at the start, who said he might be interested. If he still hasn't heard anything then its probably because Saints aren't interested so might as well give up pestering the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiesaint Posted 3 June, 2014 Share Posted 3 June, 2014 Just taken a look at the Dutch press, very little on Koeman. Algemeen Dagblad stated that Koeman was photographed and put on Twitter last night as being at Gatwick Aairport on his way to Southampton. The reporter confirms Koeman has been approached by Southampton. The only other mention was on Voetbal International (biggest weekly football magazine in Holland) who stated that he was favourite for the job. All very quiet at the Dutch end!!!
