I know our pre season to date has been somewhat disappointing, missing key players really does highlight our strength in depth or lack of it.
If the manager was asking players on the verge to step up and stake a claim in the absence of regular first team players then this also really hasn't happened.
What is worrying is the season hasn't started and we are already looking at a couple of injuries, WTF is going on with Kone i'm not sure anyone really knows, but the warning signs are already there, I think 3 more in is an absolute must!

Kone has just completed Ramadan around this time so even if he is fit, he wouldn't be ready to play. We really need another option up front as we will be seriously exposed if Lukaku gets injured, or carries some of his poor form from last season into this season

What poor form? He scored in his last 2 games of the season. That said, I think we need to get rid of Kone. I still can't believe he cost £6m, he's been constantly injured, and for the 10 minutes he wasn't, he was abysmal. Just cut our losses and get rid.
