Gibson for 500k: a young, slightly maladjusted guy who got little game time and was relatively often injured - plus he doesn't really play in a position where you become a lucrative player. The fact we unearthed him and offered him the chance to prove himself again was quite the masterstroke.
Kone for 5m: Strong, fast, international striker, proven record in 4 different leagues, 13 goals in the prem last year, little resale value but arguably in the best years of his career (they say that about strikers and late 20's/early 30's), a player that could easily command double what we paid - it's hard to compare, but considering these factors we might have something here.
