Lukaku's signing is in effect Bobby raising the white flag with regards Kone. He probably already knew he had a dud in Jelavic, hence the Kone signing, but I think he really expected Kone to show us something - he had of course been bigging him up for us, even before he had signed. Well he's clearly a fraud, perhaps an even bigger one than Jelavic in that he's managed to convince more than one club he's worthy of investing heavily in - and then fail them.
This desperation move may or may not work out - but its already a sign that at least one of Bobby's initial moves has failed to deliver.
He spent all year working with him at Wigan, bought him for us, then realised he's crap???
He got Lukaku because he's a top drawer striker and he became available. He'd have been a fool not to. Especially as we got good money for an injury prone player who doesn't score much.
I think Kone is shiite. Look like Saha on his can't be bothered days. But it obvious the manager likes him.
