EBS1980 Posted 26 August, 2014 Share Posted 26 August, 2014 SSN are reporting that Arsenal are leading the chase for Alderweireld so that ship may have sailed. Well depends, he wants to leave to play regularly. If he goes to Arsenal is he going to get that? I can't see it to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenridge Posted 26 August, 2014 Share Posted 26 August, 2014 Well depends, he wants to leave to play regularly. If he goes to Arsenal is he going to get that? I can't see it to be honest. Yes there could be a number of reasons why he would chose to turn down Arsenal (assuming they do want him). But we've been reading on here for months that players never turn down 'top four' / 'CL' / 'huge wage' / 'biggest clubs in the world' teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 26 August, 2014 Share Posted 26 August, 2014 Its not him thats picking them all. He is a 4-3-3 Manager but doesnt have the tools. It could be worse, he coukd be his fellow dutch counterpart. Spending the best part of 200m on an injured LB, a very overpriced CM, a wide player for a formation that doesnt play conventional wingers yet deciding that Jones, Smalling and Evens are a good enough defence to challenge top four Im not going to start on playing young and mata etc as wingbacks As far as Koeman is concerned, his recruitment hasnt been too bad. Realistically it will always be difficult to convince players we were a good option as well as trying to be prudent(ish) for wages etc. outgoings have been poor but is that really Koemans fault ? Realistically Id of said we may have been able to go for the likes of Alderweireld etc should we not have sold our better players, selling the club to them right now must be difficult.

S-Clarke Posted 26 August, 2014 Share Posted 26 August, 2014 Koeman tells Solent he expects to sign at least one new player before the weekend. Cheers. That would imply something is pretty much done and dusted, and given that Toby is the only one with what seems to be real legs in the media at the moment, then it could well be him.

Saint Charlie Posted 26 August, 2014 Share Posted 26 August, 2014 After the Brighton game he said he hoped to sign two or three over the weekend and we signed one (Taider) about a week later. Surely this one will be a wide player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenridge Posted 26 August, 2014 Share Posted 26 August, 2014 Koeman tells Solent he expects to sign at least one new player before the weekend. If that's the same interview with Solent I just listened to he started by saying he hopes to have a signing by the weekend then went on to say one or two albeit he didn't put a timescale on that but it could be by close on Monday rather than by Saturday.

If we really are after "1 or 2" then signing Clasie doesn't really mesh with that. I always imagined the 2 to be a right back & winger. (Preferably a centre back who can cover right back).

Smirking_Saint Posted 26 August, 2014 Share Posted 26 August, 2014 I still think we definately need two, ultimately Id be dissapointed if its Clasie, that sounds strange as he is a cracking player but ultimately he comes into a position we dont necessarily need another body. Id much rather look at grabbing a CB/RB cover (or just offer Cork a contract) and get someone out wide to help stretch games and provide some width/crossing ability for Pellé and long.

SNSUN Posted 26 August, 2014 Share Posted 26 August, 2014 I'd imagine the one player is a winger, and the two players are a winger and centre back. We still lack depth at right back too. Then there's any 'outs' we may have to endure, those would need new signings for too. 1 or 2, so Koeman says, could be a turn of phrase as Greenridge states.
