Quite happy with the window although am I the only one that would take vic over kone?barry should help barks along and who knows what the fridge is going to do.bit surprised johny stayed-dont rate him much.more bothered bout the man than ball. Ed, thoughts? {Ed025's Note - it was bobbys call, so lets trust him..

With Heitinga, think it was more of a case that no wanted Heitinga due to his wages. Heitinga seems happy enough to sit out the year and earn his wage then leave on a free next season.

I'd rather have vic than Kone If WBA play him enough he will score a few goals for then


3.) 03 Sep 2013
I would rather have kone than vic. But then again I would rather have a sore toe than a headache. if I had to choose.


4.) 03 Sep 2013
Kone will get better needs games an
6mill for anichebe is brill for us


5.) 03 Sep 2013
Give Kone time he'll come good i'm confident of that as whereas Vic failed to come good in 8 years of trying, so it's right he went and especially for 6m


6.) 03 Sep 2013
How do chaps, Baggies fan here, First off is this Anichebe worth £6million?cos he either don't start for you or he, s bin played out of position for an awful long time, second Lukaku is a beast of a player, if you can provide him with the ammo he will bag you at least 15 goals no worries, All in all you have the best of deal anyroad up, but atb for the season and hope Lukaku keeps bangin em in for ya, cept at the Hawthorns that is. {Ed025's Note - anichebe can be great on his day mate, unfortunately injuries have blighted his career, but i think he will do well for you, his hold up play is great, hes not prolific, but he will set up goals as well as scoring a few..

Waste of £5m on kone useless


8.) 03 Sep 2013
Kone has only had 1 full game and 3 sub appearance for goes sake, its far to early to condemn him, he plays for us so get behind him and the team


9.) 03 Sep 2013
I honestly think vic is dire - he just spends his time wrestling with defenders because that's what he thinks he's good at

Some players like yakubu were noticeably calm in front of goal when an opportunity arose - vic is the opposite


10.) 03 Sep 2013
Hard one to call this, I've never been a fan of big Vic, but then again Kone has been pants since he joined, if that is down to Ramadan, injury, nerves or a mixture who knows? But, he will be used to playing with McCarthy and likely anticipate better so we should see an improvement, we have to give the lad time.


11.) 03 Sep 2013
One problem with big vic is his attitude. If he's up for a game he is genuinely unplayable. But if he whinges, you feel like throttling him. Maybe regular games will help.


12.) 03 Sep 2013
Btw. Kone is bakayoko only worse!


13.) 03 Sep 2013
Would have kept Anichebe over Kone as well. Barry a better passer than Fellaini and for that matter much better tackler. McArthy a good acquisition but paid to much for him. Just what is this predilection with Martinez buying players from Wigan, the same players using his tactics that took Wigan down.

With you there mudmud he seems scared to approach other clubs/look beyond players he knows well. Short sighted in my eyes as are his tactics if he thinks 60% possesion and no goals scored against WBA at home and Cardiff away is good enough. All de respect those teams but in pre-season it was all this wait for his exciting football, well haven't seen any yet. Ridiculous defending, yes plenty of that. Not convinced, don't think half the players really are and think January window is going to be ridiculous as clubs swoop in for other top players.I really do hope I am wrong, if I am I will publish and full apology on here but just see us drifting along for the next 10 games with these same limp excuses, same ones he had at Wigan. Fear a battering in our next match. {Ed025's Note - ridiculous defending??..2 clean sheets out of 3!...ridiculous statement!!
