Saint Charlie Posted 16 August, 2014 Share Posted 16 August, 2014 I haven't really enjoyed the way Koeman has courted Vlaar as he has. But it hasn't caused you any distress either tbh. He probably commented on him once and it doesn't look like we have ever put a bid in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustapha Fag Posted 16 August, 2014 Share Posted 16 August, 2014 has happened for years happening now will continue to happen i dont think SFC are anywhere near the worst for this so i shall just be happy if he signs, if not .................. see how good Garos is and forget about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted 16 August, 2014 Share Posted 16 August, 2014 Letting chambers go with his versatility was shocking and also koeman coming out publicly and stating who his numver 1 is has sent us back to square one in the keeper position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been fairly clear that when a team like Saints spends £10m on a keeper that he would be first choice. Especially if, as suggested, Koeman hasn't loved Boruc's attitude in pre season. I quite like the fact he cuts the bull**** and is honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably commented on him once and it doesn't look like we have ever put a bid in for him. He didn't say it had caused him distress. Koeman has publicly talked about a player contracted to another club in the way that many on here have kicked up about when happening to our players. It's life, it happens. It's no big deal either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Saint Posted 19 August, 2014 Share Posted 19 August, 2014 Dutch paper and he said, quite clearly, that he's like him at Saints. Er no he didn't. First of all it was weeks ago. This really is an argument about absolutely nothing. He was asked about a whole range of possible targets including centre-backs and he said Vlaar 'was an option'. He didn't at any point suggest we were in for him and to dismiss him as not someone he would ever consider would surely have been insulting to Vlaar. Then two weeks ago Lambert came out with his gritty hypocritical condemnation of other managers doing exactly the same as him in the local press. Quite why Sky have recycled it now is beyond me.

When you have to fill a rolling 24/7 sports news channel, you'll use and re-cycle pretty much any old crap.

I never said any such thing. Was perfectly happy with him playing RB, and always thought he would be better than Clyne. I expected him to move in to MF eventually which was where he started with Saints. Not sure actually that he is first chice CB at Arsenal either, when Mertesacker is back this weekend I guess we will find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
