Kone is no more than decent IMO. He wouldn't get a sniff at any of the sides above us or the RS so that makes him not good enough to make a real difference for us

Fortunately that's not how it works.
If he scores more goals than Jelavic/Anichebe, then he'll make a real difference. It really is that simple.

Are you suggesting whoever goes on loan means he is a terrible player? I am sure Everton sign a lot players on loan in the past.

Precisely. Grant Holt scored 15 goals for Norwich the season before last and no-one would have been impressed had £6m been spent on him. He's ok but rather than 2-3 squad players being bought for £10m, I'd rather spend that money on a statement of intent that might make someone like Baines look and think we're not merely content to tread water.

We'd be better off trying to rediscover the Jelavic of a season and a half ago. Who was better than Kone

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
He's better than Fabio "£12million" Borini. Then there's the other two Spanish lads they've bought...
Strikers are a hot commodity really. You either bag a bargain or pay over the odds.
Personally, I'd go for Darren Bent over Kone, but Martinez has worked with him and knows how he players.
Hes also a grafter that won't be too arsed warming a bench from time to time.

He may score a few but if we are spending 5m or 6m on an average aging striker (ok you can rate him) and give him a 4 years contract then it will be so wrong. I thought people are moaning because our squad have enough aging players and now we are not shy to add a few.

Just find it strange that he on loan for the second season running instead of the club buying him.

If Kone was coming in as our big marquee signing then I would e worried. But I'm pretty sure he'll be coming in at under 5mil, and for that he will prove an improvement on our current strikers. It's a good signing for what it is - a player that will improve the squad even marginally for a low fee.
The big plays haven't been made yet. I am confident Martinez is planning bigger than Kone and Alcaraz.

Oh look, a bit of common sense.

Most probably lose him when the African cup starts, is that next year ?

Manny (Yobo too) did the same. It does not mean he is a terrible player. Maybe his club asks too much for him.

Think Yobo didn't like Moyes, didn't want to come back if I remember.
