Everyone losing there minds because it looks like we are bringing in a player from sunderland instead of someone like koubibobily from napoli.
We finished 11th last year and havent won a trophy for 21 years, it is and will always be a hard slog to persuade and attract players who have champions league ambitions! If koubiloubily goes to chelsea instead that is because chelsea are a more attractive proposition at the moment.
When you go after a target you have a back up and a backup after that. With these 2 players having similar attributes im guessing kone is our back up option.
For what its worth, at 30 million odd cheaper and what i saw of kone last year he is a big burly warrior of a centre half. Exactly what we need.
Give the club and the players abit of leeway and understand this is a rebuilding process and going to take time. This constant panicking and arguing amongst ourselves is the reason goodison became so toxic over the last couple of years.
The likes of gueye and kone could represent real value for money, the could represent flops! But we all want signings so lets get behind them as im sure more will follow
