Arouna Kone

[hktoffee]

I beleive he is/was/always will be a terrible footballer.

Still remember Martinez signed in and bought in the core of Wigan with him within a month or two. The mighty smiling prince as his first signing for £6m.

Bringing in the entire spine of a team that had just been comfortably relegated, plus their complete management structure, was, in hindsight, not a fabulous move.

Feel he's done enough to justify a new one year de...nope, can't even bring myself to say it as a joke.

Whelan must have thought it was an April Fool when we offered him 20millon for the spine' plus another ten to compensate for losing Roberto and his many lieutenants, given that he was probably gonna sack him til he fluked that cup final

 

[MACCA75]

We should thank him actually.

Bringing Lukaku in was not some grand masterplan from Martinez. His transfer business was done, Kone was going to be our main striker with support from Vic and Nais.
Firmly believe that had Kone not been so poor and our attack looked so toothless in those opening games then Martinez would not have made that desperate late call to Chelsea begging to loan Demba Ba.

He wasn't that great.But i've seen a lot worse players for Everton.He had a decent spell for a period last season and at his best he was an okay foil for Lukaku.But i think it was telling how bad our squad depth is when he came on the last day.He is not the worst player we ever had and injuries had a very detrimental affect on his Everton career.I have no animosity towards him at all and i wish him all the best at his next club.

 

[thirdmantackle]

scored a hat trick for Everton

amazing really

 

[d4kyxx]

He was not our option we have better players in the under 23s!

Who

 

[nsno-chris]

Goodbye sweet prince

 

[EFCPaul]

This time next year he'll probably be driving a Delta.

Nothing personal but he was never a player we should have even considered buying, let alone stumping up £6m for (back when that was a quite a fair bit of money for us). Was never impressed by him to be honest, not even in that season he had at Wigan. Not his fault he got such an horrific injury but any chance he had of being a decent player for us was ruined by that and at this point he's not even a mediocre Premier League level striker, if he's going to carry on playing it will surely be in lower leagues or off in some mickey mouse team abroad.

Good luck to him but thank God this one is nearly over with. Almost all of Martinez's trash has been cleared out now, not long to go.

Who

Forwards attacking midfielders who won the league against the odds !
Dowling Walsh etc better option than Kone who has not kicked a ball in match play for an age!
