croydonsaint Posted 11 December, 2014 Share Posted 11 December, 2014 Massive statement today from Koeman "No players will be sold in January" He seemed very determined in the way he said it and said, I thought as a statement of fact. If so very significant and great that he has been so clear on early on. Of course we may welllose another 2 or 3 key players in the summer, but at least he has put down a strong marker and also given us time to make replacements.

Saint86 Posted 11 December, 2014 Share Posted 11 December, 2014 I remember similar words in the summer sadly... Said in much the same way by Les Read. I hope the board won't start undermining Koeman like they did themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted 11 December, 2014 Share Posted 11 December, 2014 I also think that statement relates more the morgan than it does jayrod... No one is buying Jayrod until he proves he can still run on a football pitch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted 11 December, 2014 Share Posted 11 December, 2014 And Clyne, I would imagine a CL chasing team would love him in their line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croydonsaint Posted 11 December, 2014 Author Share Posted 11 December, 2014 I am going to take Koeman at his word. He strikes me as a very honest straightforward guy and he does not strike me as naïve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 11 December, 2014 Share Posted 11 December, 2014 I didn't expect any? Who do people think was going to leave? Schneiderlin is in for the full season as was said in August, and Jay Rod aint fit and no-one would bid for him in his current state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the board won't start undermining Koeman like they did themselves. Similar but very different, as much argued at the time. Reed said something like "We've not received any offers and if we did they'd probably be met with a no". He very purposefully didn't say "we won't be selling any players".

What was said was that no-one would be sold that unless it was in the club's interest (or a slight paraphrase of that). Completely different. More to the point why would you want to sell anyone in January. I can't even see it as a possibility. Who would it be? Isgrove? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goatboy Posted 11 December, 2014 Share Posted 11 December, 2014 Let's hope we don't get a £10million offer for Osvaldo then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one thing you not expecting any to leave but you have no control over the big clubs coming in for the likes of Schneiderlin or Wanyama but possibly others. Just good to know with some certainty that we will not entertain these offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to the point why would you want to sell anyone in January. I can't even see it as a possibility. Who would it be? Isgrove? Mayuka. I note that RK did not mention him when he talked about players we would lose in January and needing to replace them. Maybe the plan is to give him away rather than sell him, you know like one free Mayuka with every 4 gallons of petrol or something. We could also sell Boruc, Osvaldo, Ramirez (all unlikely but could have happened). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deals like that would be a bonus, not a denial of intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers - though those players are only away temporarily, they are areas we need to strengthen regardless, especially as Toby is unlikely to sign permanently (still stranger things have happened) and we have no attacking depth.
