Koeman article

“But Dusan, by himself, decided it was better to take the first step up and maybe he can think about taking another one later. That’s also a good quality – he has good sense.”

As we expected then.

Better than signing a player who thinks his ability isn't up to much and has lucked out by joining Saints. As long as Tadic's attitude and application are spot on then he will get his big move eventually and Saints will make a handsome profit.

Does it matter? He's a saints player, with a contract. We buy players to do well in the team, help other players progress and sell them at a profit.

You really have to wonder about the intelligence and research of the people who throw these articles together.

Evidently:

"The 8-0 hiding of Sunderland catapulted Saints into the top three."

and

"If Koeman has proved a revelation so far with the Saints, his eye for a bargain in the transfer market has been sensational. Full-backs Nathaniel Clyne and Ryan Bertrand have England quality..."

Did I say it mattered? I just pulled out a part of the article to highlight.

I picked up the two same things. At one point we were second and dropped a place behind City and had been a solid third well before we played Sunderland. It isn't even as if the goal difference was significant. As you say, there was no need to mention Clyne, inferring that he had been a signing by Koeman.

I liked the way that he poked fun at Van Gaal and United, but he really ought to be able to get simple facts like those right if he any pretensions of being a serious Sports Journalist.

Did he or she say you said it mattered?
