Kone Signs on 3 Year Deal

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

So that's your logic to sign another underwhelming striker? We've had bad ones before so let's sign another one? That makes zero sense. Kone is fine, but is he really going to make a difference? I don't think so. I think he's a 12 goal/season player. It's nice, but it won't make us take a step up.

Is the right answer

Problem with this is he hasn't kicked a ball for us yet and wasn't exactly a disaster at Wigan was he?

This next level that the previous lad had 11 years of having a go at is what exactly?

Did I miss the part wherewe had a striker scoring 12 goals last season?

There is no step up without major investment.

The task is to stay where we are in the PL (or thereabouts) but play a different type of football.

Not unless you were oblivious to the guy in your avatar.

He's not a striker though. Just wondering how kone's 12 goals won't improve us when jelavic and anichebe couldn't do that

I'm on the fence with Kone. My nan is better than Jelavic or Anichebe but that doesn't mean she should sign for Everton.

However 12 goals for a relegated side isn't bad, and isn't far off 15 which could easily be the amount that someone like Rooney could get you (Rooney's has had a fair few seasons in which he has scored below 20, as well as a few where he has scored over 20). So hopefully he can score more with a better team, and 15 goals would be a great return, more would be fantastic. Time will tell if he proves successful or not.

Can't be arsed getting into a Fellaini debate, but I consider him to be a centre forward who can also play in central midfield, as upfront is his best position IMO.
