Arouna Kone

[Rook]

So you are happy if he never scores a goal again? I see.

Kev, Rom, Naisy, Barkley, Ossie and to a lesser extent Coleman can all score their fair share of goals if they the ball in good positions so if he's creating good scoring chances for others then I'm quite OK with him not scoring.

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

He was pretty awful yesterday.

Kithnou.
I think if Kone got a run of games then yes I do think he would score a few. He was never prolific in his career but always chipped in and I think will do so again.

It is very difficult to play well and score at that level if you are not playing regularly.

here is what I wrote straight after the game to reignite this thread...

Now I am not going to bag the guy. He comes on as a substitute for a few minutes here and there which is not easy. We all hope and want him to come on and just score a winner that will make a difference.
Something unexpected.
But I have to say, I don't ever see him scoring a goal in a million years...

 

[Buckers]

Sure mate. I look forward to seeing that in a couple of seasons when he is 33.

He was 33 4 years ago mate.

 

[Allezfan]

He did nothing at all upon coming on, lets be honest.

Could have bought on this doll instead and it'd have made no difference to the game.

 

[HughesyEFC]

Kone is decent, just needs a few starts under his belt. Shame we have rom tho

Ballotelli?

I liked the way he decided to dribble the ball in the box i nthe last 5 minutes or so. No way did he ever look like succeeding but I tell you what, one mistimed attempt to get the ball off him and it's a pen. Is that what he was after by doing it, or was it just bad decision making?

Do you actually think Kone is that brainey?

 

[gonetomorrow]

Kone will be good.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

His finish up at Newcastle was exactly what you look for in a centre forward,I'd like to see him given a decent run preferably up top with lukaku,I just don't get this one up front lark especially at home,get two wingers and one/two at most defensive midfielders and I'll be happy!

 

[Goat]

I hate him, lots, but I still clap him when he comes on, boss fan me.
