after last nights performance I think its plain for all to see. that's NOT THE REAL AROUNA KONE! ITS WINNIE PARKS IN DISGUISE!

Couple of months ago, I said we did not need him, he was not good enough. I knew I was right then, but EFC have to spend millions to prove I was right. HE IS WORLD CLASS RUBBISH. A relegated striker. FFS, there is the CLUE.

Said this from the start. He is not a Premier League quality player. I feel for Victor the most in this, they guy shows great improvement last year and nnow can't get a game. And Velios, showed great promise but again relegated behind a £5M championship player. What a waste of money. If I were Bill I wouldn't give this guy a penny more. He will be gone by January at this rate. I fear things will start to go from bad to worse. RM does not know what he is doing, defensively we are a shambles already as his relegated Wigan side were. He needs to either get a grip and stop trying to play his "brand" of football whatever that his, it seems purely to be to try and have as much possesion as possible rather than try and score as many goals as possible. This was the wrong appoinment, how can a relegated manager take the club forward?

If Baines and Fellani goes we need to bring in marrone. Jorginho. Moses. A good striker and alderweireld. And ince then champions league

Had Martinez got those 4 extra points needed to have kept Wigan in the PL last season what would we of used to comment on our own Manager, 3 games in to a season and he's getting slated, Kone was awful last night but I remember the guy who pulled our centre halfs everywhere last season and scoring twice against one of the most frugal defences in the league. It's going to take time to adapt for the Manager, his back room staff, players and fans, so how about we leave the negativity behind for a bit and get behind OUR team, Macca 78

I said this was an awfull signing but got shot down by loads of people, we needed a proven striker, yet spent 6 mil on Kone, why not Bent, why not defoe, christ liverpool got coutinho for about the same, were a joke right now, every evertonian could see we needed a quality striker yet the new manager and Bill clearly don't think so. i'm not Victors biggest fan but both him and vellios could done more in this game or the previous two. Finally on previous posts about felli storming down the tunnel, I don't blame the lad, he's been dead loyal never com out through all this and said I wanna leave or hand a transfer request in, then he has to watch that shower of rubbish struggle all night, and eventually come on in injury time to save the day. I think if I thought 'christ I've got to do this all on my own' i'd be thinking what's the bloody point too.

Give the lad a chance, he has played one game.

7.) 29 Aug 2013
He scored more goals than jela/anichibe last season.

8.) 29 Aug 2013
IMO Kone is going to need abit more time to get his fitness back don't forget he was running on empty in preseason. However, have to agree it wasn't a great start to his EFC carrer. Oh and to all those who think we are already relageted. We haven't actually lost a competative match yet! So can you leave slaggin the club off until we actually do then you can fill your boots with "I told you so's".

Give the lad time look at fellaini and baines when they first came to us we was all look what the hell have we signed hear so stop being so negative

10.) 29 Aug 2013
Love all the doom and gloom. Get a grip people. We've played 3 games under a new coach new ideas new system new players and for me there's been more positives than negatives. We've had more possession in games for as long as I can remember and created lots of chances only thing lacking has been a couple of goals. If it was up to me invest in a new right sided player and stick super kev through the middle

11.) 29 Aug 2013
Why do we always have to wait for our new forwards to get up to speed, settle in, give them a few games and make other excuses. Should we withhold his wages until he is ready!
for us signing konehead for 6 mil is the equivolant of spurs/RS/arsenal/chelsea spending 15/20 mil and they don't have them issues/excuses he is not good enough and never will be we are meant to be pushing on improving the squad not going backwards

He didn't look like he wanted to get his shorts dirty to be honest, he could of gambled on a couple of good crosses but stood there and watched it go psat him instead

Er because strikers go through barron spells and it takes time to adapt to new teams. So everton sign a 20 goal a season striker for £8m where as the top 4 sign a 20 goal a season striker for £15-£20m. mmm if a top 4 team looked at a 20 goal a season striker for £8m then surely they would put an offer in or do you think they would say no to cheap let's look elsewhere. I don't think there are that many £8m strikers that could score 20 goals a season in the prem hanging around at the moment.

SA90, make sure you read the posts properly before you throw a hissey fit! I said equivalant to the other teams, meaning budgets! The reason we don't have a 20 goal a season striker is because we can't afford one, kone is in our price/wage bracket wether we like it or not

15.) 29 Aug 2013
Haha Kones played one game! evryone just relax

16.) 29 Aug 2013
He's not long stopped fasting, it was his first proper start for us and his bird has just had a baby. Give the bloke a chance to settle in.
There's no denying he was below par but give him time before ripping into him.
I have a feeling he'll turn out to be a good signing.

Poeple can say what they like about new systems and time to settle in and all them cliches, kones average, missed a sitter from 3 yards, couldn't sort his feet from 2 yards out, like last year we dominate games but lack the quality to create and finish clear chances, look at how spurs have invested they have quality throughout now they chop and change with 10-20mil players were as we have no options, poeple shouldn't expect miracles with are budget
