In this discussion are we taking into account how much Kone would cost? His wages? Whether he'd want to come here? How he'd adapt to living in England? Would we have had to sell Moore in order to buy Kone? way too many variables to start considering really. We've ended up with Chaplin after hunting him for more then a season, i think he'll be a good signing for us.
And lets be fair you've only seen him on youtube. Anyone can make a professional footballer look good on there. I'm not saying that Chaplin Is the better signing of the two but in all honesty non of us have a clue how good Kone is.
A bird in the hand and all that. I'd rather have someone sign on the dotted line that was a genuine transfer target who wants to be here over a pie in the sky signing that may have just been internet rubbish.
We know Chaplin was a Stendel target because he said so,I haven't heard Stendel making a comment about Kone.
I think the Koné rumour was a red herring along with one or two other rumours. We have signed some under the radar that not many saw coming. We have parted with 7 players and a GK coach. We have signed 10 players and a GK coach and a new CEO, long before deadline day. We have also given pro contracts to several of our developing squad. I am more than happy with our dealings....
And to top everything off with a cherry DS to be paraded in front of the fans before the Sheff Utd match having signed a new long term rolling contract.
That bugged me at the time when that video was been shown to everyone. However, he turned out to be that good I think he could’ve played the full 90 with a blindfold. But on the flip side. If you showed me a compilation video of mifsud or Mido for examples off the top of my head before we signed them I would’ve thought we’d signed world beaters. Wasn’t the case.
