I don't understand why people are so adamant that getting a younger player with 'potential' is a better signing than Kone. WE DON'T NEED POTENTIAL, WE NEED GOALS.
I would much rather have a striker who is pacey, strong, knows where the net is, knows the league, knows the manager and won't need time to settle in (I still think we will bring in another first team striker but just using examples) rather than a kid who may not have experience in the league, will have to adjust to lifestyle, may know where the net is, needs to adjust to the physical pace of the league and most of all get to know the managers tactics.
We don't need a young striker who will come good after 2-3 years getting used to the team, we need someone who can score us goals now as we are on the cusp of taking ourselves to the next level. Those also saying Mirallas cost less, those deals don't come often.
As i said only a couple of pages ago, stop moaning about the deal before he has even kicked a ball. If he is gash then your free to say he is **** and it was a bad transfer, i will probably join in. But if he scores 15-20 goals am pretty sure many will deny that they ever doubted Martinez. Wait until the end of the season you bad negative ninnies.
