Kone

[Brennan]

If people actually think Nikica Jelavic is a better footballer they need their heads testing. Kone can score from range, he's got more pace, he's stronger, has better ball control, and is an all round superior player. Jelavic has played 6 times this season and had far more minutes than Kone and not looked like scoring.

I never get this, when we had Anichebe we would compare players to him "Hes better than Victor", being better than a turbo gash player isnt a badge of honour, it just means your less tosh than another tosh player.

Jela has scored actual goals this Season, granted only pre-season, but its more than Pone has done.

I get that some wanna "Give him time", but not me, I watched him for Wigan, he was awful and hes showed NOTHING to indicate he will be anything less than awful for us, im willing to give him time, he got 45 minutes at Blackburn, that was all the time I needed.

The key there is pre-season.

Pre-Season is part of the Season lad.

Not though is it, that's why the 'pre' is there.

The pre is to determine that its PRE.

Do you think Kone is good mate?

I share this view. Whenever I saw him he was below average to say the least, except when he played us for some irritating reason!

Yes, I know he scored a few goals, but very few of them were earned via incisive movement or strong running on the ball, and they always seemed to be against poor opposition.

It was a signing that confused me from the outset. He may be a good squad player in time, but it is annoying to mug West Brom for Anichebe for £6m, but know that we in turn were mugged for Kone by Wigan.

Cheebs was better than Kone is though.

Kone is a better footballer than Jelavic.

What matters is who's going to get us goals.

Neither look like they will atm (albeit little to go on for Kone).

Only 4 years old kid like power ranger.

 

[Hayee]

People calling him 'the worst signing ever' clearly don't remember Rodrigo.

Oi I liked Rodrigo! Van Der Meyde, Kroldrup and Bilyaletdinov spring to mind as some of the worst..

this. much rather have kept Anichebe and steared clear of Kone. Anichebe would have made much more of an impact yesterday.

We could have played a crisp packet upfront and that would have made more impact.
