I see stoke have allegedly put in a bid of 4 million for Sinclair.. Same price as we are allegedly looking to pay for McCarthy Jesus I'd rather Sinclair personally

I keep reading this constantly, but that's only a fair comparison if they've played the same number of games isn't it, so that stat is completely misleading.

Anichebe scored 8 as apposed to Kone's 11, but played a lot less games.

Fair point but they are very different players. I like that we've now got a strong but pacy player up front who likes to run at defenders and keeps possession well.
 
Martinez needs to start buying a first 11 centre mid . We lack there and we don't really need any loans or young players now . Everybody knows the man love for Honda but even I have to admit now it's looks unlikely . I like the look of this jorgino dude . Only 21 but about 7 million . If these no money then we should be trying our hardest to get rid of deadwood like heitinga gueye . We should have money though because kenwright supposedly give Martinez 10 million inc wages . We have probarly spent around 8m on the 4 players we have brought in . We only used 3 million in january last season and we should have around 6 million left from the rodwell sale . I would be happy with a centre mid and at a push a winger

That say Koné was better, scoring 0.02 more goals per game?

Correct. So basically no difference between them last year ... BUT ... Anichebe played in a side with the best chance creating player in the world ... Kone did not (hopefully he will this year). So we'll see. I think considering the context of their scoring rates you'd have to give Kone the edge for playing on the overall inferior team but still (slightly) outperforming Anichebe.

On the bright side, I know we are all sick of the word potential when it comes to Anichebe, but Anichebe already has a few years before his peak and he's already slotting at a somewhat decent rate so maybe ... just maybe ... we'll have a player on our hands in a year or two.

Agreed on all counts. I think Kone will bring pace, workrate, experience and finishing ability, and he's already proved that he can work successfully in Martinez's systems so I have very few concerns about him. I also think his example could help Victor to develop further.

We need an attacking mid. Barkley is good but he's raw and can't expect to play all the time. Osman has gone ****e but can to the job of the bench. We need creativity for the fowards . We have Gibson who can spray the ball to the two fast wingers of mirallas and deulofue but we have no one who can thread the ball to jelavic. If there's no money then I would give pienaar the go ahead to play in the centre with deulefue on the left

...I suspect Victor is at his maximum. I've always thought of him as a decent squad player, particularly impact as a sub but bottom line is that he lacks quality and if he's starting games we will struggle a bit.

What sort of CM do we need?

We defiantly need one but can decide if its an Ever Banega we need or something different?

We need a ginger Irish/scot who can pass the ball sideways, joking aside we need an athletic ball player who is likely to last the season ( good injury record ) hopefully Gibson is over his niggles
