gareth barry is boss. Period.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Ledson has looked classier than Pienaar

 

[R.E.T.N.U.B]

Hibbert better than Browning.

You know what, just stop.

He's played no games, the fact he's not scored is hardly surprising is it? Your emphasis on this is a bit OTT, and would be warranted if he'd played 25 games and scored 0 goals.

Fact is, Lukaku probably doesn't really care, Kone probably doesn't care - they both would want to play football. Headache's for Bobby, especially if Kone actually performs, which is exactly what he's done tonight.

No more OTT than anyone suggesting that simply because he's actually managed to play 90 minutes for once, he's somehow worth starting ahead of Lukaku. He's not scored, and that's a striker's most important job.

Kone may well BECOME competition for Lukaku over the next six or eight weeks, as he starts putting together a string of appearances and maybe scores a few goals, but he isn't competition YET. If you want to disagree, that's fine. But who do you think will start the next game?

How is a 31 year old striker who has NEVER scored for us any sort of competition for a 21 year old striker with 23 goals and 10 assists in 54 games?

Yes, it's good to have Kone fit, but he's a long way from being "competition" for anyone.

It makes no difference how old he is and that he hasn't registered a goal in 280 minutes of football. He is a professional footballer who plays in a position that Lukaku plays in. Rom see's him in training and in a sense it's like an extra signing. Of course he is competition for Lukaku.

Kone has looked hungry, determined and eager to impress and get his Everton career up and running... finally.

He missed from 6 yards out when he played 120 mins in the same game against stevange.

He missed literally an open goal against hull at home.

The reason Everton fans think he is crap is because whenever he has played for us before tonight he's been exactly that.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Maybe cause he's 22 and really isn't as good as he should've been/seems to think he is.

I've lost count of the players who have been written off after a few games only for them to become great additions to the squad, just saying.

Bollocks, did he just say that we could draw Roma?

 

[toffeejack]

[peteblue]

Fair enough, I'm personally not impressed with him, and judging by the starts he's getting - he's not exactly in super high regards within the team as well.

He is a player in the making, just needs SEVERE improvements in the decision making process...
