Transfer Rumour Lamine Kone

[Darren Higgs]

Sunderland conceded 16 goals with Kone in the team. 4 clean sheets.


His injury record worries me;

He seems to have brilliant recuperation. Most injuries are gone in a week if not 2.

Good, don't let us keep you.

You've convinced me to stay.

 

[Maltese_Falcon]

Signing all these Africans Come the ACN in January we are f..!

 

[Zatara]

Signed in Jan for £5mil...sold to us for £18mil 7 months later

Step up Steve Walsh you amazing talent spotter you....

 

[Efctrueblue]

I'll be honest I just don't like the idea of replacing one of the best young talents in football with someone who plays for a team that nearly get relegated every season.

He only signed for Sunderland in January. Sunderland avoided relegation. Clearly his arrival coincided with them improving. So your point is not really valid. From what i've seen of him hes a good defender, and he knows where the goal is (against us anyway)

You mean one who came in half way through last season and helped them comfortably avoid the drop?

I wish people would stop being negative for negatives sake.

My mistake, this guy is obviously a worthy successor to Stones

You mean one who came in half way through last season and helped them comfortably avoid the drop?

I wish people would stop being negative for negatives sake.

My mistake, he's obviously vastly superior to Stones

I look forward to pushing for Champions League with this guy in our ranks

 

[BlueToff]

He's quality another reason we stayed up just struggles to play 90mins

Whenever I saw him play cb he was poor mate (mainly due to lack of pace and positioning).

He was boss in midfield though.

Have a feeling this will be announced before tomorrow.

The way i've seen it (well I hope i'm reading it right) he'll come in with vast premier league experience, which for most part, has been in one of the tightest defences in the league for the last 4-5 years. He'll be able to nurture Funes Mori (and with no disrespect to Stones or Jagielka) and help him and Holgate grow in the team. Importantly, he's a leader, he'll ensure we're organised, and we missed that so much over the last few seasons unfortunately. £12m may be a big sum, but the way the league is going £12m is more like £5m from 5 years ago. Shrewd business for me.

hope your right!

Pubalgia 24/04/14 14/05/14

WTF's that?

The 'algia' suffix means pain.

'Pub'....Pubes?

He gets pain in his pubes?

 

[Nymzee]

He's quality another reason we stayed up just struggles to play 90mins

I want us to sign Kirchhoff so much.

 

[Albertini78]

Whenever I saw him play cb he was poor mate (mainly due to lack of pace and positioning).

He was boss in midfield though.

Came on against Spurs on his debut had a nightmare that's the only time he played CB thank god

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Have a feeling this will be announced before tomorrow.

That can only mean today!
