Kone Signs on 3 Year Deal

Some disgusting attitudes on display in this thread and I'm totally serious.

Oviedo badly broke his leg, and has yet to come back too, but because he's loved, he gets chants sung about him all the time & everyone is very positive, with no mention that he's played 1 game in now 11 months out.

Kone? Different story. Because he had an iffy start to his EFC career (a massive 6 games), the reaction to his badly injured knee is totally different.

Constantly taken the piss out of. No compassion at all. Nobody singing his name or offering encouragement. Now people saying he's finished, that we should get rid of him, end his contract (erm he has a valid contract for another 18 months), saying we should get the insurance money.

Come on, we're Evertonians. We should be better than this. Not the lads fault he got injured and is struggling to come back from it.

Dread to think what the lads morale will be like if he sees the like of this, what people are saying about him online. How is any of this gonna help him? Give the lad a chance and some encouragement!


Oh I have nothing but sympathy for Kone himself and wish him well

I'm more annoyed at the club for signing him in the first place

Not his fault he go injured
 
Based on that logic Alan Shearer should not have been bought by Newcastle and Man United were stupid to try and sign him. Shearer did his knee ligaments in 1992.

The same can be said about Van Nistlerooy. He did his knee in before man United signed him.

Not the same at all

Shearer had just had an amazing Euro 96 and had scored a bucket of goals the previous season

He was a legit sure thing, where as Kone had only really had one decent season at English top level

But he did score 14 or so in a very poor Wigan side in his 1st season in england give the lad a chance before you write him off

I've not written him off

I'm just saying the original comparison wasn't accurate, because it wasn't

You can't compare former England captain, Premier League winner and the first man to reach 100 goals in the Premier League to Arouna Kone

The two don't belong in the same universe
 
Every time this thread rises to the top I think ffs what injury issue now, but it's just more of the same moaning. I'd categorise this thread as a floater.
