After the rumours of honda, fer and so on. Looks like its kone and alcaraz. Not for me sorry. We need to improve and they aren't improvement on what we have. I'm hopin with roberto comin back from confed cup that he has other idea's and players in mind. Do blue's think this is the case or are we close to the mark on wigan players?

Totally agree dave need to buy better quality than those two if we want to maintain at least top six

I think both will happen, to be honest (and a bit hopeful). I think it's only natural to raid his old club for players who he knows and are tried and tested in his attacking style. Kone scores goals, which is something we're desperate for and while he may not score many, he'll have better service from Everton than he did at Wigan. Alcaraz is a solid squad filler, especially if Jonny goes. The only question mark over him is fitness as he's good, but injury prone. More importantly, Martinez discovered Kone in the first place, so he does have an eye for a striker with aptitude for the PL. I have no doubt he's got a shortlist of names from the confed cup, maybe some players in the tournament who have been overshadowed by the bigger names being thrown about in the transfer window. Nigeria didn't do great in the tournament, but had some pretty good young players in, when so many of their squad was injured. Although if he's doing post match analysis again tonight for the final and he starts work tomorrow, he's going to be shattered, first day on the job. Don't sign Joey Barton by mistake Roberto!

To improve on what we have we need money, and that we don't have so instead of complaining we just have to get on with it and support whoever Roberto brings in.
