Transfer Rumour Lamine Kone

[nsno-chris]

He'll be an Everton player soon enough

 

[BlueToff]

Looks like this is off, he is back training with Sunderland this morning

which was always going to be the case that he was back in training.

this could well be a move to get him that better contract, but similarly many sources claiming that we've made a bid (or two)

watch this space

Reading about Chelsea interest in him. Let's hope not.

We've done the same with Stones mate, and slapping a £75m price tag on Lukaku.

It's not the same. We'd agreed a fee with Sunderland, he's been to FF to agree a no doubt eye watering deal but now he wants more

Paul Joyce says Moyes is targeting Jags. Surely would mean Kone very much still on

 

[Nil Satis Niasse Optimum]

If Williams - Swansea's captain - is valued at 12m, a slightly older Jagielka - our captain - must easily be 5/6m. 10m plus Jagielka for Kone? Would do me.

Jags isn't going anywhere

We either want 3 central defenders, or 4. If it's 3 then just keep Jags and use the money elsewhere. If it's 4 then we need Jags anyway.

His approach for Jags was reported yesterday and Everton rejected it.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I'm guessing us rejecting his Jags approach was the reason he called back Kone to training.

I'll be really disappointed if we don't sign this guy now, all the Sunderland fans really rate him and that's enough for me. Get him signed, sealed and delivered Ronald.

This is mad. Chelsea have just sold a centre half to Sunderland!

 

[KevMirallas]

Sunderland rags expecting it to happen now they're getting the United lads in to replace him.

 

[naz]

Difficult to do business a week before the season. Any selling club has to scramble around for replacements before they will let a player go, and fans are jumpy. Sunderland are playing a balancing act. They have debts of £140m, and are very reliant on Ellis Short. They need to keep Kone, but they'd be vulnerable to a big bid. I bet Moyes is on the phone trying to work out if he could use Kone cash to strengthen his team. if he can do deals that he thinks would strengthen the team, he might go for it. Can't see Short giving him a transfer pot to spend.

He'll be an Everton player soon enough

Hopefully as soon as Moutinho and Riquelme.

 

[n01efc]

I really want him, he is a unit!

Jags isn't going anywhere

We either want 3 central defenders, or 4. If it's 3 then just keep Jags and use the money elsewhere. If it's 4 then we need Jags anyway.

We have four if we get rid of Jagielka.

Funes Mori, Williams, Kone (assuming he joins), Holgate.

We don't need more than that with no European competition. Williams doesn't get injured.
