Can anybody who genuinely knows actually tell me if they think Lamine Kone would be a decent signing?

I won't dismiss him until I see him play for us, but to me it seems to me like all he's done is play for a terrible team, score twice against us and then jump ship 6 months later for 4 times more than they paid.

I didn't watch too many Sunderland games, so them avoiding relegation may have been largely his doing, so if it was, please let me know, but don't just be blindly trusting in the scouting system if you don't actually know, please.

Kone would be a beast of player. Watched him a few times last season. He has always said he wanted to stay but has not been offered the new contract he was promised if they stayed up. Hence what is happening now. He was bought for 6M and our buying price @18M has nothing to do with him 'jumping ship'.

My brother is a Sunderland fan an we've had many a conversation about this in the last few days, he says he's an absolute beast of a player, and he knows his stuff so I trust him. A lot of Sunderland fans are going into meltdown which shows how well he's thought of up there. I'll be very happy with the signing.

Thanks guys. Especially Gibbo. It's always good to hear what the fans of the club a player plays for actually think, as opposed to just what the media says.
