Arouna Kone

is their window open for a while longer? clubs can only sign 4 foreign players i think so doubt they'd waste a spot on kone!

One can but hope.

It seems unlikely that we'd refuse to chip in to his wages. Wasting £10,000 a week is better than wasting £40,000 a week, surely?

Depends on how the club view it mate. Firstly, nobody likes to get rolled over by the club you're negotiating with and sometimes decisions are made on principle. Secondly, we have sold or loaned out a lot of attacking players this window leaving the squad quite threadbare in that area. Perhaps the club decided if they were paying part of his wages they may as well pay all of them and have him available for selection. Thirdly, we don't know how much of his salary Palace were prepared to pay. It may not have been as much as £30k.

I wonder if money was the issue.

It was obviously a last minute thought with Crystal Palace. Bring in another striker who could act as cover in case of injuries.

Why would Arouna Kone have all the hassle of moving from one club where he never plays to another club where he never plays.

He hasn't got all the other deadwood players to keep him company now, perhaps he may up his game now. If we were hit buy loads of injuries he can do a job, also he's only got a little to go on his contract I'm looking at it as we have got an extra squad player.

Least all of us Booers still have a target for the next 4 months.

Silver linings and all that

exactly. we still have a scapegoat.

 

[Sharpattack]

So he's still here then. To say that is disappointing is an understatement. Obviously this guy has absolutely no professional pride whatsoever and is just a leech. Even the much maligned Niasse is giving it a go elsewhere

I'd still play duffus ahead of him

I'd still play duffus ahead of him

Maybe he will and maybe that's why we didn't buy a striker.

 

[blulouie]

I'd still play duffus ahead of him

I'd play Rod Belfitt ahead of him

hahahaha, bloody hell how did we get away with that! two absolute donkeys

 

[Sennott Street]

Really disappointed that this didn't come off. Would have completed a decent transfer window

The window is still open in China, yanno. Just sayin.

 

[mccole]

he could still go to China so there's hope.
China, it's in your hands!!

Played half decent in one game at Southampton so got a pass for being woeful the rest of the season.
