Hilarious! After Kones interview on Sky on Sunday, in English, none of which I understood at all, Sky have just shown him talking about his partnership with Lukaku and have overdubbed every word !

Best centre half to grace the Premier League
To those bemoaning the lack of 2 wingers in a Martinez team, I think Kone showed on Sunday why he does it. Although he's not playing as a winger, he was to the left of the midfield. The licence for him to drift inside causes problems for the defenders, who marks him? If the full back tries to mark him, he will be dragged inside leaving space down the wing (which hopefully a returning Baines can exploit) but if the centre half or central midfielder picks him up then the likes of Barkley and Lukaku have more space.
It doesn't work every week, but I imagine this is part of the logic behind it.

Can we ban him from talking to the media?

Wish Martinez would let players do their talking for themselves on the pitch instead of bigging every single player we have up. Danger of setting unrealistic expectations of players.

och, he's comedy gold.
So much popcorn he's forgotten who he's actually popcorning. I'm sure he's popcorned himself by accident at several times in the last season.

I think Kone deserves a bit of bigging up. He's had plenty of putting down in the past.

Give him praise for a great performance, sure. Do not compare him to one of the greatest strikers the world has ever seen.
"I have seen him play many times for Ivory Coast alongside top, top strikers such as Didier Drogba and other outstanding strikers, and he always showed he was at that level."
That's hardly mad hyperbole. He was at the level where he could play alongside Drogba for his country.

if you read it he didn't.
That was the made up Echo headline, what he said was “I have seen him play many times for Ivory Coast alongside top, top strikers such as Didier Drogba and other outstanding strikers, and he always showed he was at that level." which essentially just says he's an Ivory Coast/International level striker.

Interesting interview on sky (not the post match one). Seems to suggest Kone doesn't think he's even at his top level yet so there could be more to come from him. He also alluded to the run of games coming up and what an opportunity it is. Clearly the players are aware that they are expected to gain a lot of points over the next 8 games.
