Kone is not good enough as our 2nd striker if we have aspirations to get back up the table next season. We should have kept Apostolopolous Vellios.

Bless you.

Kone's fine for the money, but it would be good to have some competition. Perhaps one of the young 'uns could please step up.

I know it it is stating the bleedin' obvious but we would have been far better keeping Victor and not letting Kone anywhere near the joint.

Not really, Kones scored more and shown more about him in the past than Chebes has ever, and when else would we of got such a good offer for him.

Correct answer is we shouldve sold chebes not buy Kone and get someone else

We should have used the Kone money to buy pure cocaine from Peru.

Smuggled it back into the UK and bashed it up a good bit and sold it off. Reckon we would have got at least a 500% return on it.

There would have been less risk involved in smuggling coke than spending £7m on a poor ageing forward with chronic knee problems.

better question about kone is name a striker for 5 million max who could do a better job whilst playing second fiddle to lukaku?

remember he isnt just back up, he is hardly on the pitch these days!

Part, if not all, of the money we got for Victor was totally wasted on Kone.

Possibly the worst ever signing during my time following Everton.

Injury prone and useless......a deadly combination :rolleyes:

Anichebe was sold to fund the Lukaku loan fee not to buy Kone.

Kone was an awful buy though.

Did Kone have a chronic knee problem history before joining Everton or was it an injury picked up first as an Everton player ?

He was saying the other day,he can't wait for next season, God help us,he is the worst excuse for a striker I have ever seen playing for Everton and yes I do remember Bret Angel.
