NickG Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 The bookies have Koeman as our new manager. Would such a well known ex-player benefit us when trying to attract new players? Particularly Dutch players? Even looking at the team he has just left, would he want to / be able to sign these? LB, Daryl Janmaat, 24, linked with £3m move to Arsenal as contract nearing end. LB/CB Bruno Martin Indi, 22, linked with top clubs for around £8m. AM, Jordy Classic, 22, Hollands Xavi, linked with Man U for £12m. Elsewhere in Holland, CF, Depay, 20, linked with Man U for £15m. That's 4 players for £38m. If we are losing Lambert, Shaw, Lallana, Osvaldo for about £60m, another £22m just of new money to spend. Saw highly rated CB Stefan de verijs linked with £6m move. Seems some good deals with dutch players. (Fit in better than Italian / Spanish?). Not sure of de Boer as manager but there maybe 'big name' in Holland benefits. We know English players plus premier league experience costs, maybe why board will want to use this to our advantage and balance squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 if lose lambert, shaw, lallana as well as MP and various other staff and have the bus driven by wreck it ralph we will do well to stay up. So Moyes for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pap Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 Not a bad point. Worth pointing out that Suarez came from the Eredivisie. Koeman might have a lot of current knowledge that English managers do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Give it to Ron Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 We attracted Gaston and Osvaldo 2 internationals - didn't do us much good. This is why I am worried if we go for Hughton, Mackay, Mclaren as no way can I see them getting what we need. Moyes also for me we need someone to run the club apart from Reed - Moyes has that experience we require and wont bugger off in 18 months if doing well. We might get the frizzy haired goal scorer flop Fellaini from Man U on the cheap as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 Looks like we will need the new manager to bring some players with him. Kpeman is a good draw obviously for dutch players. But i agree with Batman. Given the loss of key players managers coaches and the morale issue- plus the fairly obvious confusion upstairs at the highest level they need a credible epl operator who is someone who can hit the ground running in the EPl and stop the rot. That man is Moyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 What would actually get me excited was Moyes as manager and Gary Neville as his number two. That would be a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Rees Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 I'd go for him personally, and you make a good point about the players he could attract.. just have a feeling the board will go for the likes of Hughton or Mackay, what a step down that would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrensup Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 Easy. Yakin: sign all of the Basel team Koeman: sign all of PSV/Feyenoord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 Was looking at Koeman's managerial track record on Wikipedia last night. Doesn't seem to have set the world alight in his managerial career and doesn't seem to stay anywhere longer than a couple of seasons (which seems to be all the rage these days anyway....). Doesn't mean he couldn't do a decent job for us though of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

um pahars Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 Was looking at Koeman's managerial track record on Wikipedia last night.

Doesn't mean he couldn't do a decent job for us though of course. Length of tenure has changed and even though MoPo wasn't even with us for 18 months, he was still the 7th (I think) longest serving Premiership manager! Although the main reason for that was Clubs sacking managers, as opposed to managers moving on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
