Rather than going for Koeman. why not go for the Southampton scouting set up? They seem to have been the ones who replaced virtually the whole of the Southampton squad over the last 4/ 5 years. twice. prior to Koeman arriving!

Let's get him in and get going ye. Let's just be happy we got a manager most wanted. I'm happy. Moshiri has gone for him, got rm out, new ground on way. He has put his money were his mouth is so for once can all is blues get behind the club. You wanted bk gone and now moshiri is backing what he said and some still moan.

Let's look forward to new season, players, manager, stadium.

Completely agree degsy.

I'm not sure on him to be honest, I think Southampton have such a good set up then most managers could go in there and do a good job. Koeman has done well yes, but I think he gets a lot of credit for good work done by others behind the scenes.

This is what Monchi is for, even better than Southamptons undeniably excellent set up. For me going out will be be McGeady, Niasse, Pienaar, Hibbert, Osman, Lukaku, Mori.

Ideal world? Hart, Walcott, Jansenn, Van Dijk, Rooney, bony.

What's everyone's ideal targets?

I'd prefer Forster from Southampton to Hart. Bony is a good shout but I see no sense in paying mega bucks to and for Rooney who is the wrong side of 30 and has little or no resale value. Banega from Valencia would be ace in centre mid.

Forster would be great, I wonder whether Saints will insist on a clause whereby we can't sign any of their players particularly given how many they have lost last couple of seasons!

I'd love Walcott, Ashley Williams at Swansea may be a bit old by top defender and what about Wiljnadum at Newcastle?

Bangera played for Seville but has just moved on a free to ac Milan.

I would like Butland over Hart or Forster tbh! And I would prefer a move for Remy, Hernandez or Gameiro as a replacement for Rom!
I would also hope Mori stays as well as adding one more cb alongside Jags and Stones, my choice would be go all out for Varane from Real Madrid!
My midfield choices would be to try and pinch Fernandinho from City! With Gundogan going their he may be available? I like William carvalho as well and I would go for Rooney as well if the opportunity is there.

I think we are all getting a bit carried away with the new money. There are some unrealistic suggestions, such as Rooney and Fernandinho, and I don't know why people in general like Remy that much. Decent player but would command massive wages, isn't that young and isn't as good as Lukaku so for me would not be a worthwhile replacement.

For me there are a lot of options goalkeeper wise. Mandanda remains an obvious pick as he is free, and then there's the likes of Begovic who may be available for a reasonable price and is a quality keeper in my opinion (just because we have the money doesn't mean we have to spend it) . Butland would be good but would be very expensive.

For me Wijnaldum is a good target as he will be looking to leave, but as Ed002 mentioned above there are quite a few teams after him.

One thing is for sure, it will be an interesting summer!

I'd love to see approaches for aubameyang and begovic, depending on 1st steamers leaving (prob ROM)

Hart over priced and over rated, Rooney best days are well and truly gone. Walcott wants to play as a striker but not good enough to play there. Van Dike and Bony are decent.
