Would be a boss little signing for somebody in China.

Koffee please
You say you use stats to be fair and objective, but you're clearly just cherry picking to prove your point.
Kone has rarely been the main striker, unlike Jelavic. He was injured, and struggled coming back. Etc...
The plus side for you could be, from your stats, if he doesn't score the rest of the season, he's likely to be sold.
While I wish we had better (Niasse fingers crossed), but when he comes on I hope the lad does well. Unfortunately he hasn't of late, and I'm sure the booing isn't helping.

But people make out like the crowd are desperate to boo.
They aren't - imagine how much rubbish people had to watch for the seasons leading up to the Wimbledon and Coventry games. Got behind the team when it matters.
People boo at Kone because he performs poorly. It's not like he suddenly becomes a better play away for us. In fact, hasn't he scored four of his five league goals at home this season?
Does it become a self-fulfilling prophecy? Maybe. But the crowd doesn't take masses to win over - he could run about a bit, close players down. Lennon does it, Besic does it - charge about a bit, wins over the crowd. Lukaku vs West Ham in the cup last season.
Kone just doesn't even bother. Whoops, lost the ball again. Whoops, shot miles wide. Whoops, barely won a header. Oh look they are booing me again, never mind.
Hope he goes for a poo in Oscar Pistorius' house in the middle of the night.

I had forgotten about Jelavic, had tried so hard to do that. You jerks messed that all up.
Never seen a striker that unaware of the offsides rule.

Can't be much fun when 30 odd thousand people are shouting abuse at you no matter how much you earn
feel sorry for the lad he tries his best puts more of a shift in than Lukaku but with no end product
he will never make it at this club and should be sold or released in the summer

He's not good enough. Wigan standard.

One of the worst strikers I've ever seen.
Neither was Denis...but we loved that crap player.
Kone works hard...came back from a devastating injury and is booed. Disgusting. I hate our fans sometimes.

.....it seems basic to me that if Mirallas and Kone have the same amount of playing time, Mirallas will score more goals and have more assists. Kone's record reflects that he has little or no impact from the bench, he was unlikely to turn the game around on Saturday so the decision to bring him on ahead of others is a little baffling.
Hes utter turd, what disgusts me is fans sticking up for him, hes an extremely well paid footballer, who cant play football.
Its an utter crime against MY football club that I have to endure another 15 months of this utter carthorse sullying the number 9 shirt.
Serious question, who is liable when I claim for the mental torture of having to watch him attempt to play football?
Just saying.
