In the right team he scores goals, look at Newcastle, West Ham when he's fit.
That's not our team, but he's useful.

Andy Carroll is utter garbage.
He had potential to be a decent player, but injuries have totally ruined the very limited talent he had.

So did Emile Heskey, still a **** footballer.

What a mental discussion, a striker's job is to score goals, must be doing alright.
He's not though is he, Mikey?
This is his actual goals per season in the prem: 0, 0, 3, 13, 4, 7, 0.
It's not the world's best strike ratio. 72 premier league starts plus 37 off the bench and he's scored 27 goals. So that's what 1 goal every four games? So if he's fit all year, which he never is, that's 9 goals? So you're more likely to get 6 or 7 out of him. Not that impressed. That's what we get from our left back.
Yet people say Kone is crap, but his record over the years is not bad. So is he good or bad??? He scores goals
Again he doesn't really does he.
He's got 29 in 121 in the prem, bundesliga and la liga. So that's again 1 in 4. Which isn't really enough.
A 1 in 4 striker is only useful if the rest of his game is excellent, if all he's providing is goals, and that's the argument used here, then 1 in 4 just isn't enough.
Ok, so your using stats to prove your point, but only using the ones which are relevant to you. Not how you use stats bud, his strike rate is 1 in 3 over his career. If you only select the ones you want to use it gives people a misinterpretation of figures
Kone is potentially world class.
Hes basically the 2013 Saha.
Hes basically the 2013 Saha.
hahaha probably the best description of him ever
For the record I hated Saha.
You seriously want to count goals scored in the ivorian league, seriously?
I ignored carrol's goals scored in the championship and I ignored kone's goal scored in subpar leagues. otherwise you're not comparing like to like.
In first class leagues carroll and kone are both 1 in 4 or 9 goal strikers which isn't great. You add an amateur african league to that and yeah they look better.

Carroll had a fantastic Championship, his first full season, then his second year (first in the Prem) was good too.
Not saying he's a world beater, saying in a team with wingers (Stoke, West Ham, Newcastle) he'd score goals. Crouch has a decent record in teams like this too (and internationally), would never argue that they're skillful, just know where the net is.
