fair play to him. I think the difference with him and naismith is kobe looks a useful player whereas naismith just had the game of his career lol

I'm in both camps with Kong, always said he was a good purchase in principle when we signed him for his price tag and I also thought after his injuries that he would be finished.

always brilliant to see our players doing well though, if kobe is worth 10 goals this season alone then he is proving to be good value. didn't lukaku get a hatrick this year as well? so three strikers all with hatricks so far.

His names Kone mate. K.O.N.E.

Kone.

Who is this kong and kobe of which you speak of
 
Now that hes well into the way we play, another strength of Kone now apparent is that he can 'see' a pass quickly, control the ball then execute the pass crisply and accurately. Sounds simple enough but, with this short, often walking pace passing game that's developed (and goes backwards... and my cursing forwards.... a lot), its a great outlet and he opens the play up so well with his technique.
 

Kone had a great game and I'm really pleased for the lad, he was the best man on the pitch today.....although I have to say that Lukaku was awesome.........
 
As a general team player I don't think kone is fantastic mind you. In a back and forth midfield game kone us lost in his position anywhere other than up front. but what he has proven this year is around the edge of the box he can make something happen when we normally stop still, and defensively he can be brilliant.

The Chelsea game where he won every header in his own box was magnificent performance and certainly helped win the game just as much as our goal scorer
 

Fantastic today. I'm so pleased for him, us and Martinez that he's showing what he can do. He's had a long way to climb to prove the doubters - including me - wrong.
