Dellman Posted 29 August, 2015 Share Posted 29 August, 2015 So Koeman seems lazy and uniterested does he? Well, If I was manager and the Board had sold my best players and the next best were waiting to go I would be in a state of shock and anger and I would be thinking 'what future is there here?' Because I was born a Saint and will be a Saint till I die I stick it out, however frustrated but there is no earthly reason for someone like him or Mane or Big Vic to think it is worth staying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 29 August, 2015 Share Posted 29 August, 2015 I'm not convinced VvD is coming to Saints at all. If he was and we were really that keen, why has the deal not been concluded? Surely it would make more sense to get it signed, sealed and delivered before the madness of deadline day? Am I the only one who thinks Les Reed is full of ****? "We're working very hard. I'm confident we'll get it sorted" Blah, Blah, Blah. I'm glad you're confident, Les, beacuse nobody else seems to be. I seem to recall that it was RK that ended up getting a couple of last season's transfers over the line and people on here were singing his praises and asking why Les even had a job with Saints.

If he doesn't like it then he's welcome to leave, he's flopped at nearly every club he's been at, whilst we've had nothing but success since the takeover. We're a top half Premiership club, he's not doing us a favour out of the kindness of his heart by being here, we're paying him well and it's a huge job for him.

Because I was born a Saint and will be a Saint till I die I stick it out, however frustrated but there is no earthly reason for someone like him or Mane or Big Vic to think it is worth staying Exactly! We've sent out completely the wrong message to players and fans. Having been through all this **** when RL was in charge you'd have thought that people at the club wouldn't want to make the same mistakes. As it stands, history looks like it could well repeat itself. Strachan got his coat because Lowe refused to invest and take the club to the next level. He wanted to do it on the cheap with home grown players. This lot have just sold, sold, sold and replaced on the cheap. The more recent players who've come through the ranks and shown any sign of quality are sold almost immediately. I look at the current youngsters and don't see anyone in the same class as, Walcott, Bale, Ox, Shaw, Lallana, or even Chambers which is slightly worrying. What happened to the statement the club made about playing regular European football with a team of homegrown talent??? It's all a bit sad really.

True, he's done well in national competitions. But his european tenure is pretty bad. He's only won 20 out of 75 european matches, and of his last 20 he won only 2. That's right, the Vitesse games are his only two wins in his last 20 european games. He got to a Champions League quarter with Ajax, Benfica and PSV in 2003, 2006 and 2007 respectively. But since then, european wise, he's been ****. Anyway, that van Dijk lad, I really hope he gets his transfer and Celtic aren't going to block him. Will be interesting to see how he'll do in the prem.

According to wiki Ajax: Steady decline after he was appointed, then he resigned Benfica: Meh PSV: Did well Valencia: Sacked AZ: Sacked Feeyenoord: Did well Sounds like a fair few flops to me. Winning trophies at big clubs is poverty leagues, if that's his deal he might as well move to Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 29 August, 2015 Share Posted 29 August, 2015 Koeman seemed definite about a signing so I'm wondering whether he's either putting pressure on Les to get something sorted or the target is someone else, maybe Koulibaly. The third alternative is, and I really hope it's not this, Vlaar - who else would be competing to sign someone who won't play for a few months?

Mr Saints Posted 29 August, 2015 Share Posted 29 August, 2015 If anyone thinks it's Van Dijk or nothing they are deluded. We will have a couple of other centre back targets and will be negotiating with their clubs on potential deals ahead of the deadline, if we don't get our first choice (whoever that is) we'll go to our second choice and so on. Does anyone seriously think a Premier League club with a global scouting network only have one target in mind when strengthening a position of the squad?

VectisSaint Posted 29 August, 2015 Share Posted 29 August, 2015 Does anyone seriously think a Premier League club with a global scouting network only have one target in mind when strengthening a position of the squad? ? But is that really the issue? Of course we have alternatives, but with less than 72 hours until the window closes, signing one of the alternatives becomes less and less likely. We will probably end up with Ron Vlaar, since he is not window dependent (free agent) and is of course injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Saint Posted 29 August, 2015 Share Posted 29 August, 2015 What would be the logic in signing an injured CB in Vlaar when we need cover right now.....I really can't see anybody at SMS being that daft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 29 August, 2015 Share Posted 29 August, 2015 If Saints wanted Virgil badly they would of wrapped it up on Friday, my fears are we are penny pinching with Celtic and it will go down to the last day of the transfer market.
