Big Bad Bob Posted 14 June, 2014 Share Posted 14 June, 2014 Kind of find it interesting that no other clubs seemed to have gone for him, especially the bigger ones. His record in Holland has been decent (except AZ) but outside of there has been a bit dodgy. no other club went for MoPo until we took the punt on him!

Saint Fan CaM Posted 14 June, 2014 Share Posted 14 June, 2014 Well if it's true this could be excellent news...Koeman is a top appointment for Saints. I wonder what Lallana will say when he's asked about it? As team Captain and a key England player in Brazil, surely he will be asked his opinion?

SaintRobbie Posted 14 June, 2014 Share Posted 14 June, 2014 Koeman is a great name in the footballing fraternity. For Southampton To have got him is a huge achievement. This shouldn't be be underestimated. It's on par with signing keegan again..almost. He beat Yakin to the post.

macca155 Posted 14 June, 2014 Share Posted 14 June, 2014 BBC gossip page so it must be true Plenty of links and crucially nothing to say it isn't, which means a whole bunch of jounos are desperately trying to tie down (or destroy) the story right now. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11700/9348423/premier-league-dutch-legend-ronald-koeman-is-set-to-become-the-new-head-coach-of-Southampton http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/next-southampton-manager-set-ronald-3690634 http://talksport.com/football/reports-southampton-set-name-koeman-new-manager-14061396233 Yay we've got Ron manager.... "Oh, those Brazilians, you know? Circa 1970? Broke the mould. Theory out the window. Free expression of football. Uncategorisable. Is that a word? It is now! You know? Far cry from small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts. Rush goalie. Two at the back, three in the middle, four up front, one's gone home for his tea. Beans on toast? Possibly, don't quote me on that. Marvellous." I'm not sure I'll be able to live the with the disappointment of it not being Ron now Anybody else playing a video in their mind of us beating Spurs and Liverpool and singing "you've bought our old ****" .... no just me then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Lallana and Shaw's hearts are already elesewhere but hopefully any other waivering players can be 'sold' the new project and be persuaded to stay and move forward with the club. It will be tough to get players to want to stay who are offered a move to a champions league club and offered a substantial pay rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS1980 Posted 14 June, 2014 Share Posted 14 June, 2014 Was just chatting to a feyonord fan and asked him a bit about Koeman; tactical he is great. In his first year at Feyenoord we won all the big games because he was making smart tactical changes. He wants to play attractive football, but if necessary he can make changes. End of this season Feyenoord played some difficult away games with 5 defenders to have more control. At his last interview as coach of Feyenoord he said that he really wants to buy our striker Graziano Pelle at his new club. All sounds good. If anyone would like me to ask anything else just ask.

Bewildered Posted 14 June, 2014 Share Posted 14 June, 2014 Who has seen Pelle play? How good is he? If we do sign him I hope we sign another striker. You can't pin all your hopes on 1 striker from a lesser league, need to hedge our bets a little. Pelle and Ings would be great business IMO. Selling Lambert and Osvaldo we could get both for a reasonable outlay you'd hope. Would still love to see Afellay come in and prove his fitness though. All the ability to replace Lallana just needs games. I would like to see him get De Vrij if he wants to poach some of his old players http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/calciomercato/feyenoords-de-vrij-scored-in-his-world-cup-debut-lazio/ According to Di Marzio, Feyenoord only want 9m euros for him.
