Arouna Kone

[Durham Toffee]

Have we reached a consensus on him yet?

In the sense that he is a con?

So how much should we be spending on 2nd or 3rd choice strikers ?? Any suggestions ??

look at the second part of the post you've quoted

So you want kids as our 2nd & 3rd choice strikers ??!!

Or kept Anichebe maybe ??

The Bundesliga is an extraordinary well of talent currently...

Volland, Mayer, Sane, Ujah, Okazaki, Dost, Choupo-Moting.

Not all of those players are realistic targets, but they are just the tip of the iceberg and I'd venture that many people in the UK have no idea who they are...

yes thats exactly whats i said, this is like pulling teeth.

Someone like Besic is the perfect example, young international who is still growing as a player.

So who do you suggest as our 2nd & third choice striker, without spending money.

Besic cost £4 million and at times looks pants, and other times looks decent.

You better hope @MoutsGoat doesn't catch you saying that!

Truth though. Ranges from looking like a world beater to a crap version of Barry. As to be expected from a young player learning the position in his first season in the league.

I'm not a scout.

yes at times he doesnt look great, he looks better than Kone though and thats without even factoring in that Kone is 31 and going nowhere in his career.

We cant afford to have the finished article as subs but we can afford to have players that will improve and either earn us a profit to go out and spend on players or players that will improve and eventually become good enough to start regularly.

The whole back four started out exactly like that.

I get what your saying mate, but we have as our number 1, that young and up n coming in development striker, sometimes you do need those older heads in the squad.

Kone is no worse than many of the other strikers we have had over the last 10 years, its not a bit deal.

Lewandowski, Kruse, Huntelaar. I reckon we could get them.................on FM15.

 

[Khalekan]

In years to come Arouna Kone will come to be regarded at this generation's Bernie Wright, Mickey Walsh or Brett flippin' Angell.

 

[Jayhow15]

Kone is definitely our 2nd choice striker though. Guaranteed.

Brett Angell. That is all.

Brett Angell. That is all.

Speaking of him.
Went and saw a team that he was managing down in the NZ national league final the other day.
They bottled it as per, couldn't take hold of the occasion
