So we have been crying out for a goal scoring striker for ages now and that was possibly the only reason that stopped us finishing in the top 4 last season and our answer to this is Kone who is nearly 30 ffs! Very underwhelming to be honest and we should be looking for someone better and younger as why can't we attract these players, we are Everton ffs, a great massive club! I do think we have some money to spend on transfers this summer as well and even more if players leave!
Lets just see what happens come Aug 30th. I will react depending on the position we are in then.
I have a feeling that Baines wont go....Fellaini? Who knows. If the bid doesn't come in from Arsenal, then maybe he wont go anywhere. Kone coming in will do what exactly? What harm would it do for us? At the very least he can help improve Anichebe, can provide a foil for Jelavic, and do his running while he's on his toes in the box, while being perfectly capable of leading the line himself if needed. What about sell on value? If Kone can score the goals that Jelavic missed last season, it'll be worth points to us, and everyone know points make prizes. Far too much judgement on here over his age.
As for Zatara saying that if we dont buy Kone, sell Jelavic and Anichebe to give us £13.5m (sic) to spend on two strikers..... Just doesn't seem like good business to me. Your reducing by a potential 3 players, to buy 2 players who are in the same price bracket as two of the three you jibbed...... Just seems non-sensical. What 2 strikers would you be uying for £6.5m that are considerably younger and/or better than Kone, Anichebe and Jelavic? Or are you saying spend £10m on one, and £3.5 on another? What happens if you have a £10m injured player?
