SuperSAINT Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Guy on Instagram saying he's just seen Koeman in ocean village. Doesn't mean he's not going tho. This is getting close to ear-lobe spotting & Poch in steak restaurants isn't it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Their billionaire = 1.7 Billion Our billionaire = 3.1 Billion Yes, but their city spawned Cilla Black and the Beatles. They couldn't wait to leave the dump. I particularly liked Ringo Starr's answer to why he didn't ever go back to Liverpool - 'Why would I go back there for? I lived in a slum'. Maybe they will put Ronald up in a nice 2 up 2 down in Toxteth where you have to go to the bottom of your garden for a sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Really? Well why. The money We've spent on transfers has come from player sales. Obviously liebhhrs have invested but with sky money I'm not sure she's prepared to go extra step. Maybe I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTL Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 As I've said before, Everton aren't even the biggest club in their own city. They'll always be a nothing club even if we are too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 F*** me. It's not that much of a revelation. What he should have is she doesn't want to invest any more than she already has done abd that's completely fine. She wants us to live within our means and not splash the cash in the manner that Everton are about to do. If that means losing koeman who chases the money then fair enough.

verlaine1979 Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Koeman or not they'll struggle to keep Lukaku and maybe Stones. Their team is average and even 100m doesn't guarantee anything. I'd still be surprised. And disappointed, as it's hard not to think it's a sign we don't have the ambition if he goes. That said, depends how realistic Koeman is being. Wanyama is clearly off, and that might have frustrated him even though there's not much we can do. Still, I'd hope with current TV money they could say only Wanyama goes and you get 50-60m to spend. Who is better, Saints with that spent or Everton with up to 100m? If he does go, it'll be because he's been told that the (seemingly reasonable) £50-60m before reinvestment you propose is more like the £10-20m of previous summers. And while £100m doesn't guarantee anything if you waste it, if you spend it well like Sevilla, Dortmund etc, there's no reason why that outlay (assuming the figure isn't inflated to include salary outlay etc) couldn't make you at least competitive for the last CL place.

The9 Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 I'm still fairly sure the interest in Koeman is just a wage-negotiating tactic for his Saints extension. Everyone knows there's money to be made from new contracts this summer. As for "I wonder if we've got a replacement lined up"? I should think we've got a short list of two or three, all of whom have known for 18 months that we might be interested if anything happens here.

The9 Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 You know what I mean clever clogs No, other than "Saints have threatened legal action" there's little similarity. Alderweireld wasn't under contract to Saints, there was some complexity around the possibility of a pre-contract agreement that doesn't exist here, he's a player not a manager, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katalinic Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Taking Koeman's utterances around seeing out contracts at face value, I can only imagine that he will go only if Saints have ok'd it - it is not so unlikely that he has informed the board he won't be signing a new deal and the club have decided to cash in now on the compensation (we never let players who have any value run their contracts down) as well as avoiding a season of speculation and uncertainty. If this is the case then far better it happens now than later in the summer or even mid-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Chalet Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Disappointed if Koeman goes, gutted if it's to Everton. That said we'll no doubt have someone decent to come in and replace him.

Foxstone Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Completely implausible.. Nothing official from any reliable source yet to base any such assertion, let alone grounds for legal action...

sammysaint Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Everton have not agreed a fee with us yet, I would expect Erwin would go with him so I would demand 10 million for them both at least and dig more into there so called massive money pot. Koeman lacks complete class for saying he will be here one more season many times and then leaving, also it will prove he cares more about money then winning, why not stay with us until his dream job comes up aka the Barca job.
