Jorge Sampaoli has stepped down as Chile coach....
this is our chance?

Lavezzi in London, our target too?

I think most of the signing decisions is with Emelano. It was never a Mourinho problem. Papi, Baba, both oso Emelano's decision i think. Mou wanted someone else, Stones.

I can kinda understand the signings of Lavezzi. Coz Hiddink is in for the short term, he identified the problems that we have, we need strikers, so it means we need ready made strikers since Hiddink not in for the long term. Hiddink needs some immediate fix. So maybe that's why we signing experienced strikers. But still.... I think we shud've gone in for Charlie Austin. S'ton got a bargain signing him for only 4M!

The Daily Mirror reports the Dutchman is eager to test himself at the top level in the Premier League and thinks Hiddink can have a big impact.

Koeman said: "If Guus puts a good word in for me, that would be a big influence."

The 52-year-old Saints boss has had success with Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord in his homeland, winning multiple Eredivisie titles.

He told Dutch radio: "It is certainly something that I always have at the back of my mind.

"I always want to achieve the highest possible level. That has happened in Holland and that's what I'd really like to achieve abroad."

thoughts?

His first season in S'ton was good. Partly due to the team spine left by Pochettino imho. His 2nd season in S'ton is not going on very well after he made several signings that he wants.

I prefer Pochettino over Koeman. Just look at Spurs this season, and how Pochettino keeps his faith in youngsters like Alli and Dier.

I think Matic is having quite a good game, not perfect thou. But showing glimpse of his form last season.

even before the red card, we were playing quite well. control the ball and push for attack. i think if mertesacker didnt tackel Costa, he could have scored anyways
