Scores again. That's both the games for Holland this week. He's got to be off but on the plus side we should get our money back and more. I actually think in his second season in the Premiership and with a team where he can be rested more often (he looked knackered towards the end of the season to me) he would be a very good player.
Possibly, but "looked knackered" is an understatement. He was practically non existent in the second half of the season. Him, Sissoko and Janmaat can bugger off for me. Big time attitudes with very little heart.
Good luck to him in a top 6 team. They better be prepared to pay Mike a top 6 fee though. He will be a right **** on price negotiation. Just ask LFC.
I'd be happy if he stayed. There were some disappointing performances but he's a quality player. Saying that I think he'll be sold as I don't think he'll be up for a season in the Championship. He'd probably fit into Arsenal's squad well.
All depends on whether or not Rafa wants him to stay. He doesn't have to sell anyone if he doesn't want to and we'll recoup enough back in wage fees by getting shot of Taylor, colo, obertan, marv etc to cover a few new incomings. I guess the term doesn't have to sell if he doesn't want to could be interpreted as if you want to bring new players in you're gonna have to sell some but I can't believe fatty hasn't promised him some cash for players!
Weather Rafa wants to sell or not if a player really wants to leave then there is little point retaining him.................. look how convincing Colo to stay turned out!! If any players want to leave, they should get shown the door. Plenty more players that will be up for the fight out there.
To me we should be looking for £20+M for him! He scored 9 goals in a relegated team and in his first full season in England. He will have learnt a great deal from last season and we shouldn't hand it on a plate to another team in the PL.
Don't mind selling him on. His attitude has really disappointed me. Would prefer he went abroad and he ought to command a sizeable fee. Confident that any funds raised by Rafa, will be reinvested by Rafa, so all good.
Good Lord is he still alive! Or should l say, Jah Rastafari. Should be a good night, let me know how it goes.
I think he is quality. He takes a lot of stick for disappearing in the 2nd half of the season and you can't hide from that. However it was his first season and like most he struggled with the pace and number of games. I think he will be all the better for it and will probably do a cracking job for someone. I think he'll end up a top 6 player personally. If we could keep I'd do so all day long. If he had to go I'd try to loan him for a season.
Undeniably talented, can't even say "questionable attitude" cos even Messi would have thrown in the towel under McClown. Never going to stay, will be at Everton before the ink is dry on Koemans signature.
This is looking highly likely. A loan would be best but he'll have a budget. I'd imagine Wanyama and Gini will top the list.
The only thing that confuses me is the pecking order of clubs. Sure, 20 years ago Everton>>>>>Southampton, but today?
I think its this influx of money. The way they were talking when he took over was big talk. That said Lukaku has already indicated he is off, not sure if Koeman will make much difference? I'm still surprised Koeman fancies it because he has had a while to get things how he likes it at Southampton. Perhaps he is aware of players wanting out, and he thinks he'd be starting again anyway. Southampton are still vulnerable, just as Leicester will find. Only a select few can stop things from these shores, and none of our clubs can resist overtures from Barca or Real.
