6 Days and its all over with! cant wait!

Lescott Saga all over again. We will probably end up signing Kone but on TDD.

It was always going to be a problem this window, we are trying to attract higher level players coming off the back of 2 really poor seasons with no Europe to offer.

It took City ages and they still aren't fully there. We all need to be patient, better times are coming but it wont happen all at once, we need to sit back and enjoy the season, im sure there will be a few set backs but things are on the up!

I do feel we will be in a much better position regarding players come Sept 1st.

Back to this transfer window

Spending £30m on a top goal keeper would be a great move in my eyes. Look at how many points we have lost over the last few seasons due to GK Errors. I think a new keeper is as much of a priority as any other position.

Id take him, I don't think he was managed right at Newcastle. He reminds me of Bolasie in that he is a Beast on his day but very inconsistent. Managed right he could be great. He also seems to fit into the type of team Koeman is building.

£35m seems fair in todays market for what he could potentially offer.

 

So....you want him to be bad?

 

I know it was a mistake aha

haha ffs! typo ha

hope he proves me wrong, he needs to add more goals. Ill trust Koeman, he seems to want energetic players to press and work hard.

I imagine he will play this weekend.

A great Keep makes all the difference. They can be the difference between a couple of places in the league. There is no doubt he is a great keeper he just need to improve in certain areas and improve on his concentration. I think we are the perfect fit for him right now i cant really see where else he would go?

For that money he is surely a starter each week.

Ill be honest im his biggest fan and i hope im wrong about him. I don't think he's any better than what we have and i dont think he is worth the money.

He's Powerful, Quick and Direct but very inconsistent and his goal scoring record is terrible. He seems like a bigger version of Lennon.

Not sure what to make under Mirallas under Koeman during preseason. He looked lively in those first couple of games but then looked out of sorts since... pretty much like his whole Everton career.

Hard to judge really in pre season, not played full games. Looked lively against UTD. Im hoping for a big season from him.

Bolasie isnt better than Mirallas, but is he better than Lennon?

Defensively Williams is much much better than Stones, lots of fans saying Stones will be amazing in the future but that isn't guaranteed! The signings we are making will make us a much more solid team and harder to beat. We've been push overs for 2 seasons now. Williams and Kone in defense sounds good to me.

The bold doesn't read good to me at all! In fact it's got shite written all over it

Williams is far from Shite and just what we need. Kone also looks like a beast and is rated very highly at Sunderland. Koeman seems to want to make us hard to beat and breakdown and im happy with that. Its not gonna be an overnight transition, we aren't an attractive proposition for high level players at the minute, this will take time.

Pogba signing surely means one of UTD's midfielders if not two are surplus to requirements. They are overloaded in Midfield.

£65m plus Remy has to be taken IMO.

It was the early talk of Mata that got me excited. That is the only one im disappointed about.

Koeman and his staff need time to evaluate, every player bar one or two looked average and unfit under Martinez and that will change under Koeman.

I think the likes of Mirallas, Coleman, Barkley and Geri will all benefit from a new regime.

A Quality first choice GK would be nice this week though!

I imagine they Walsh & Koeman have been watching him for a while. Stats can be looked at both ways, Villa were terrible that's a fact but the interceptions, tackles, blocks etc still have to be made and it seems he put a shift in.

I really hope he signs elsewhere and soon! tired of this whole saga, he's not even worth it.

I think he'd be a great signing, steep but its the going rate now. He offers goals and a new threat going forward.

An Attacking 5 of...
Barkley
Deulofeu
Mirallas
Sigurdsson
Lukaku

Id be happy with that.

Liverpool really dont need another player in that position.

hopefully we are holding out for Mata.

I also think he's one of the players that will shine under Koeman, none of the team looked fit under RM and that will certainly change under RK. His deliveries into the box at times are second to none.

I've seen him quite a few times against Wales as we have played them 5 times in the last 4 year or so. He was immense in the first game but he didn't really do much in the other games... Obviously he's a big name and probably be a big upgrade on what we have so he'll have my full support. Where would his signing leave Besic, McCarthy, Barry and Gibson??? Just makes that Gibson 2 year deal look more stupid IMO. Will be interesting to see if Koeman fancies Besic or McCarthy as well.

I have a feeling Besic may get a new lease of life under Koeman, I think he will be the type of Player RK will like.

As for Witsel, im not fussed either way. Not seen enough to be excited by him.

Reports saying he wants to stay and fight for his place at UTD are silly, Mourinho cant stand him. He's definitely leaving its just where to.

Busy watching Euro 2016, haven't been keeping up with TT, transfer rumours, who might come, Lukaku/Stones out or stay, etc.

 

But Belgium's loss reminds me of the absent Kevin M., so I have some Mirallas questions. Is there either a general feeling among TT-ers or by any of you in particular that:

 

1. Mirallas is highly likely to stay?

2. Highly likely to be Koeman's first choice LW?

3. A very good thing if Mirallas is in fact our first choice LW for 2016-17?

Im hoping Koeman likes Mirallas and can get him back playing how we know he can. It was obvious he didnt get on with Martinez but for me he is our most dangerous threat going forward. I really hope he stays.

If Koeman could make him into a solid defender and cut out all the risks and mistakes then his valuation could sky rocket next season. i think that will be the thought process. Keep him for at least another season.

Fucks sake. I thought having money would stop us being linked with over the hill players. He was finished when he left United.

I think its just because of the Koeman Links.

Its more his attitude for me, id take him as a 3rd striker if the price was low, hes certainly good enough and maybe a game changer in the last 20 mins.

Seems unhappy at being substituted, he wouldn't be or main striker here at 31 so probably nonsense.

Think this is just down to the Dutch links, cant see it happening.

Would anyone want him? Thoughts?
