that wasn't under martinez is it . I suppose Brenden Rodgers turned Sterling into a world class player and Jose made Oscar world class. Said top coach has also spunked plenty of cash in the past. edit: referring to him starting this summer
Would rather go down and have a clean sheet than keep these toxic influences. It’s not just players, but something tells me it runs to staff also.
Martinez turned down offers for Stones. Don’t tell me that as he got worse as a player his value went up? Maybe the days with Koeman turned him into a much wanted player
Just a rough guess, I think Rooney might be the fly in the ointment behind the scenes giving the big I am, I'm probably wrong but if he's anything like his Mrs he's all fur coat and no knickers and forgets a humble beginning in life.
Happened to plenty of players. Plenty of players have moved for stupid values when they don't deserve it. Stones wouldn't be the first or the last. Anyway, good luck with your martinez crusade.
I am guessing but I think the real reason Koeman went is Steve Walsh and there cannot have been a plan to replace
Pep as made both stones and talent look good. Frankly 70% possession and a really good keeper behind them helps a lot but city still don't hold many clean sheets
Could be, but he took a drop to come and could have got more to make a move into Europe or China(we all know he wouldn’t want to leave UK however) If he is the bad apple, then blame Koeman as he publicly chas d him from January.
Could be that Koeman and Walsh couldn’t work together. But it worked with Gueye(walsh signing) And Lookman. Maybe it was honeymooners period for 12 months. Walsh tried to steel club in n a direction the manager(not a coach)didn’t want.
It’s not a crusade you mug! It’s just a statement that I feel it couldn’t have gone worse if we had backed Bobby with £150m. I guess around doers shouldn’t take credit for turning Sterling into a £50m player either, just luck that City will buy any old tat for over the summer dds.
Koeman isn’t clean from this. Sigurdsson, a definite Koeman buy. If Koeman agreed his deal to work with Walsh, then turned the club upside down after 12 months working together......they both should go.
I'm with you. They are a team from Liverpool when all's said and done. As long as we do better, I like to see them do OK
So now Allardyce to take charge at Everton - but the media constantly say that foreigners are the ones preventing young British managers from getting top jobs ...
Unsworth having to update the press on Everton's new manager recruitment process because Moshiri is too cowardly to come out of hiding FFS
