BREAKING: Everton confirm signing of striker Arouna Kone from Wigan on three-year deal for undisclosed fee. #EFC

 

[bluelife]

Kinell he's been signed

Even if Heitinga stays i'd stay still yes to Alcarez. Numbers give you options; for all we know he may go 3 at the back, so he will need cover. Duffy may do enough in pre-season to warrant a start, or he may not. We don't know nothing about him, apart from a couple of run-outs to make that decision.

It depends what you've seen at the end of the day

He's been doing great in the under 21's and has worked hard to get his chance. Now is a perfect time to give him that chance

Done deal then, Welcome to EFC Arouna Kone

Signed? what can it all mean

 

[LocalNative]

Welcome Kone. I hope you prove me wrong and bang in 12+ goals next season.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Good stuff. They took their time about it.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Welcome to Everton Kone

Get 15 goals this season in the league eh lad, I'd appreciate it

 

[Steve Wigan]

Agree with this mate. A lot of people were trashing the signing of Distin if I remember correctly. I think that bar a few horror moments he's been pretty rock solid for us. Perhaps Alcaraz can bring something that we can't see right now and for a free transfer and I'd imagine not asking for unrealistic fee's/wages why not give him a shot?

I'd love to see Duffy given a chance but I don't wanna throw him in at the deep end and see the lads confidence take a knocking

What Alcaraz gives us is the ability to play the ball out of defence as opposed to hoofing it, on a more regular basis. It this point in his career Duffy may be good with his head(or do I remember rightly that Smith at Tranmere showed him up a little?) but I've not seen any evidence that he's better than our current pairing at playing on the ground to turn defence into attack. Alcarac is in old fashioned terms a 'footballing' centre back.

Kip of that.

He looks like one of those kids you see on the UNICEF adverts with a donated footy shirt.
