He might not be supported by scoring records, but Kone is certainly a very good defensive forward. A good upgrade on Anichebe.

Kone has an excellent scoring record at least the last few years anyway. I was we'll aware of both him and Michu before they left Spain because of how many they'd scored.

He finished one of the top scorers in La Liga with about 15 goals in his last year before Wigan signed him. Scoring more than Negredo who everyone wanted us to spend fortunes on in January.

He has scored roughly the same here in his first season for a relegated side. He out scored all of our players, despite us finishing top 6 none of ours got more than him.

6.5 million for a near 30 year old striker? We don't have much cash we need to spend any we do have much more wisely than that.

I don't want us to sign Kone, I don't believe Martinez would pay that either after getting him for 2 mill this time last year. I was just pointing out he has an excellent scoring record.

I'd be quite happy for Martinez to spend every single penny we have on a striker. Keep the rest off our squad together and break the bank for a striker like Soldado using his Spanish connections.

I really think we are only a striker, a bit of luck with injuries, Martinez's positive mentality and use of the youth away from a proper top 4 challenge. Major work is not required.

We need more than a striker mate. I'd keep Anichebe, he's young, he's improving, IMO he's a great impact sub....I certainly wouldn't want to be replacing him with 30yr old kone! We need a top striker (a negredo,solado ect) jelavic may even have to move on and replaced with a young cheap promising striker.

After that were still gonna need to replace Heitinga, buy a CM and prob another winger.
 
Wouldnt worry bout Martinez signings anyway. Fellaini is staying so there goes our transfer budget. And before anyone mentions the new tv money, weve already spent that by paying Vibrac back.

He should of been in the team 12 months ago. He's an excellent player and his time has now come. Roberto will give him a fair chance.

What has Duffy done to suggest he's ready to be a first team starter in the PL now at his age?

If moyes was so blinkered and was ignoring a ready made quality CB, why have a weak Central defensive Ireland squad not dragged him in.

I hate these posts, as I seem like I'm ****ging Duffy which I'm not...I think he's got promise, but he needs a good year on loan somewhere in the championship. If he were to start every game next season for us, you would see some weakness's in him and would cost us goals....again not having a go its just inexperience....

He really needs to get out on loan for a year.

We borrowed £30m from Vibrac the past couple of years to pay the banks and sign new players, extra wages etc. Its a no brainer where this extra income will go. We where relying on Fellaini + Heitinga leaving to improve the squad, now thats not happening
