Koeman to Arsenal?

Still not seen anyone say we're bigger than you. Think you've spent too long living in your neighbours shadow that you need to use any excuse to crow a little.

Still, it'll be fun seeing all you fans complain at the lack of loyalty when you better (only decent players) leave......

Bitter much ? :rofl:
 
Sideways move for Koeman imo, Everton are top 8 just like Southampton.

MMMMiiiiaaaaaooooowwwww :D
 
Rather like Southampton, if our decent players decide to go we squeeze the pips and get an over the top fee for them. If someone wants to pay that then it would be silly to turn them down. As long as the money gets re-invested, it tends to, then I am happy to sell players on that don't want to be there.

Devils advocate, Will you not be a bit more disappointed if they leave this season? New chairmen promising this and that? If you sell all your stars, will that not send the wrong message to potential new signings and a manager about your prospects?
 
I'd like Stones, Barkley and Lukaku all to stay. I think Barkley definitely will, Lukaku is angling for a move and Stones will go if we get the really silly offer people are talking about. If they stay that is a strong spine and one you can build around. Ideal.

None are irreplacable though. I think Barkley is the best of the lot and offers something no other English player does although he needs looking after and developing. Stones is a class act but ultimately if we took half of his money and bought Van Dijk from you boys I would say that was good business, not impossible either. Lukaku gives us goals so clearly that would be a loss but if he wants off then he could be disruptive and I would then rather he went and we re-invested in an equivalent player, hard but not impossible if we have the money.

We can lose one, perhaps two but not all three of those. Accounting for the money one or two of those could bring in that would give Koeman a whopping war chest on top of that already promised to him. Enough to bring in a number of very, very good players. He may see the sale of one or two of those assets as his way of building the team how he wants, without restrictions.

All fair points. Abnd our players do appear to like moving to merseyside. I'm hoping, Big virgil is tied down pretty tight having had a pay rise 6months into his first season!
 
As we all know, a new and long contract just means you get a bigger transfer fee. It protects the selling club but offers no guarantee. It also means a bigger "loyalty" bonus for the player when he gets sold. Laughable that one.
