Go 'ead Aroune ladlol

The saddest thing was his offside goal he hit it that wide it hit Barry , and went in it was destined for the corner flag!lol
His header was a disgrace RM seen the light, and subbed him immediately, he is not match fit by half a season imo!

I know mate,I think there has been a player in there at one point,unfortunately he has shown no signs of recovery from his bad injury,he always looks like he struggles with the pace of games allied to he's getting older and the way its going any confidence the lad has looks like its shot to bits,I almost feel sorry for him,well as sorry as you can for someone on 40/50K per week playing for EFClol

Yes but RM should have seen it after 6- 12 months and loaned him out abroad! even on half wages as he has never featured - never thought I would see another Bernie the bolt or Rod Bellfit or Brett Angell etc!
The Stracq looks like Van Persie compared to Kone!lol

Straq for all his limitations would give you 100%,if you ain't got the talent thats the least you can give back to the fans.

Yes two woeful strikers Bernie the bolt is in the history books as the worst - Kone is going to beat him at this rate at least Bernie scored a few, and his comedy value was great his kit never fitted him!

Where would you rate Kone compared to the Blue Angell, Joey?

He's got almost the exact same stats.

The record books at the moment, show Kone to be a worse striker, the difference is he was crocked when we purchased him, at Wigan when fit he had a burst of speed that has as yet never shown for us - he is 32 with a record of Knee ligament
Injuries, every Manager makes a bad buy - he may be one of them!

Even Harry bought duff strikers.

Rod Belfitt and Bernie the Bolt spring to mind (I think it was Harry wot signed Bernie)

Mothers used the threaten their children with him. "If you don't bloody behave yourself, you'll be watching Belfitt this Saturday".

It's pre season, the fella needs minutes just like the rest of them do because at the end of the day we may be relying on him at this rate to chip in with some goals.

That means you have tp play him first, is that what you would go for and who drops out?

You are kidding Joe, no may be about it. Pure and simple a bad buy. Poor judgement by RM.

No mate I wouldn't play him because he's absolute garbage. I was just saying why I understand Martinez is giving him minutes because he's going to give him game time. The fella makes Jelavic look like Aguero!

That's a hell of a compliment for Jel! But I am with you mate, why oh why Kone RM?

Tubey · July 19, 2015

I think he'll go down as our worst ever signing. That takes some doing too. Even worse than Bilic.

Yep I've never really looked at him and thought "he's a decent striker", regardless of that one performance against us he had always looked erratic to me, exactly how he's looked when he's managed to actually get on the pitch for us.

Martinez obviously wanted to bring familiar faces with him and decided to spunk 6m on him and it's looked like a piss poor piece of business.

You never know though, one could slice in off the back of his arse and win us a cup
