Money grabber or not, he was once again immense on Saturday against Manchester City.
Imagine a backline of Williams, Mori and Kone, we'd be absolutely formidable, and I'm actually excited by that prospect.
Unfortunately for us, I just can't see him coming now. Koeman says two in this week, but i expect Bolasie and one other who isn't him!

Great is a word to easily used,he had a decent game.
I know, I sort of panicked when I got that far and realised that I had no place for Barkley. I see we are now being linked with Hakim Ziyech. Looks like we will be going 4 at the back with 4 in mid or even a five.
Agree. Mori was solid but Jags for me was very good.
Mori played well but still had a few 'moments'. Jags hardly put a foot wrong, if he stays fit, he's ahead of Mori all day long.

If we are going to be playing 3 at the back a fair bit I'd reckon another CB would be a good idea. Just in case.

That 'incident' against Kane in the first half was nearly suicide. It happened countless times under Martinez (Not just Mori), and we got nailed for it. For me, as it stands out of Jagielka, Williams and Mori, he's our weakest Centre Half, he's got the potential to be a very good player, but it's a consistent event that he does something idiotic, and over the course of a season, they will add up.
I like the lad, I just think he needs to knuckle down and concentrate on where he makes mistakes, but if we sign Kone (which I really hope we do) then it'll give Mori the reason to raise his game, and that for me, is so exciting.
Some people on here I swear they don't like giving praise, like to slate players though fo no particular reason?

Strange one this - I see the Liverpool based local press are till saying deal on, but the general tone of the Sunderland press is now deal off. I would be very surprised to see him sold now, but who knows if the money goes up. I'd also think it would be very hard for us to reject a bid of 20m+ for a player with a total of 16 Premier League games to his name. All that being said, I like him (albeit Kaboul is the better of the two, now that he's fit) and would be happy if he stayed. The two of them seem to have struck up a partnership and have looked very solid since March.
Reading between the lines, this does strike me as a case of his agent pushing his luck too far in trying to leverage EFC's interest to get a better contract for Kone at SAFC. Kone has said throughout that he wants to stay at Sunderland, but that he expected a new contract offer. Moyes confirmed on Friday that he would be offered a contract after the transfer window shuts; and judging by (i) Kone's performance on Saturday; and (ii) his subsequent denial that he knew about the "transfer request", it would appear that he has accepted that.
I don't think the club are being unreasonable in asking him to wait until 1 September - we need at least four or five players in over the next fortnight and the Manager/Chief Exec have both only been in their jobs for three weeks. Offering an improved contract to a player who is already tied to SAFC until 2020 is simply not our priority at the moment.

You are all harping on about the moyes comments like you know what you're on about.
When moyes said he was offering Kone a contract come September 1st he meant their new signing on deadline day - Arouna.
You guys got it all wrong

If there was an absolute determination to keep the player the contract would be offered now not after the window shuts.
I think it's difficult as Koné is a fan favourite but Moyes would like to sell for the right price and use the money to rebuild.
It's what he did for us, brilliantly, and this involved the sale of local hero Rooney.

Our squad is threadbare and we are playing catch up after the Allardyce/England saga set us back three weeks in the transfer window. There are simply more pressing things for Moyes and Bain to be doing over the next two weeks than negotiating a new contract with a player that's only been here six months and is under contract until 2020.
