The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

Imagine Kone and Jelavic up front, and Victor the only replacement on the bebcnh.

Division One here we come.

If Alca(t)raz signs will he be known as The Rock I wonder?

 

[Brennan]

Very much so, although i wouldn't mind Alcalaz on a free for depth. Anything more than £3.5 million for a player of Kone's abilty and age i'd be very unhappy indeed with

Pienaar cost us £5m aged 30.

Kone is a year younger, if he costs the same and comes and scores 10 goals a season (like at Wigan) for say three seasons, you'd be unhappy with that ? Really ?

with McGeady providing the crosses into the crowd for them to attack

That trio would be seriously underwhelming. Does Roberto still think he is Wigan manager?

Same here look at this from the Wigan forum on Kone - - Morning chaps, Wigan Athletic here. I have been reading with interest your views on Kone. I remember watching him a few years ago when he has more pace at PSV and he was the real deal, However now he has lost some of that pace and wasn't the same striker i got excited about when i heard we were linked. He only really has two good points :- His hold up play is the best I've seen in a Wigan shirt, Can really make space for himself and others And he is strong in the air. His bad points are :- Extremely ball greedy, Wants to take everyone on and go for the glory. His shooting from outside of the box leaves a lot to be desired and he is too slow at getting into position when there is a break on.

The thing about Pienaar is that he's already proving that it was a risky signing with a relatively bad payout unless he really picks up this season. His star is fading and fast.

Kone apparently has a release clause of £6m... If we've paid that for a 29 year old who scored 11 goals I'll lose my head! Le Fondre would have cost £1m and he's younger and scored more!

 

[fitzyefc]

None of the 3 players mentioned will get in our first 11, Kone at a push so there pretty pointless signings. We need first 11 quality.

 

[caught]

A 10-12 league goal a season striker wouldn't be a bad thing, really. Haven't had one in three years.

Where to start here.

- I doubt we would pay £6m for him
- Adam Le Fondre........good god
- £1m??!?!!?

Kone with ease, surely? Look at the two attackers we have right now.

And Moyes acknowledged that was a bad business deal and not the type of deal he normally does. And it looks a poor deal 12 months on as he looks a shadow of the player of old.

In: Fer, Honda, Alcatraz free, Striker not kone

Out Heitinga,


feel free to add to the list

I know it's all about opinions, but proper LOL at all the experts who know these players will be terrible signings.

Some of you just never learn do you?
