Agreed. He's a clever player and he's quite unorthodox. He's more of a poacher than a target man but I think he can do a bit of everything. He likes to defend from the front, he's quick, he's got a very good shot on him and he can head the ball. He could play with a partner or by himself if we needed him to.

Who would you liken him to ? Not sure if the poacher type of player fits into the modern game.

Hmm I don't think he's an out an out poacher but there were plenty of goals in his highlights real where he was in the right place at the right time to poke the ball home. Maybe he's a bit like Agbonlahor. They're both quick, determined and intelligent but they're difficult to categorise.

Barlow scored 40 in 84 for Wigan at Division 2 level and was 1 in 7 for us.

Kone scored 11 in 20 and 10 in 32 for PSV, 15 in 34 for Levante, 11 in 32 for Wigan and 9 in 39 for the Ivory Coast. At club level he's 1 in 2/1 in 3 in Holland, Spain and England. And at International level he's 1 in 4.

Your comments belong in the 'kneejerk' thread.

He followed GrandOldTeam on twitter the day before he signed. Leave him alone you monsters.

hmm, so his mental health could be in question too?

I'm surprised Kone hasn't been use off the bench more, especially with Lukaku struggling so badly after an hour or so.

Must have been another Ramadan outbreak.

He needs a blue hair.

If you're calling Kone 'crafty' then safe to say you haven't seen him play....

You haven't seen Lundstram play yet it doesn't stop you from painting him as our next great midfield hope. I doubt you've even seen Kone play you dull dicksplash.

Not sure what a bunch of stats comparing players of different generations have in relation to stuart barlow or kone to be honest? They are very similar players.

Kneejerks dont last up to a year, pretty sudden I think.
