Correct, all opinions. What’s everyone’s opinion on the proposed cormorant cull?
Not fooling me with that question, John. You must think we’re gullible.

Had some pike from Rivington today.Are you sitting comfortably? OK then…
That would be the Rivington Pike.
Meanwhile, back at the DW ranch, the talk is of Albrighton of Villa.
A pacy winger? Is that what we really need just now?
We need someone to lead the line. I must admit my thoughts keep turning to Kone.

Yes, I’d say it’s exactly what we need. McManaman, Gomez and McClean have all proven they’re not up to the job – for one reason or another, and what striker are we hoping to get on loan at this stage that would be any better than Holt, Fortune or Powell?
The strikers haven’t been getting the service, so if he can stay fit it’s a decent signing in my opinion.
As for Kone, I doubt Everton would let him go and I think Fortune is as good as him – especially at this level.

1. I’m sorry but I find it incredible that we cannot find a single striker in the Prem or any other top European league to join us on loan! It has to be down to the wages we’re willing to stump up, but for every week we don’t have a loanee and save a week’s wages we’re dropping points. Completely false economy esp. as Coyle himself has said he has money burning a hole in his pocket.
2. None of these wingers matter if we only ever play with 1 striker on the pitch (why did we loan out Dicko??)
3. And Fortune as good as Kone? Have you been smoking summat Standish??

Sorry to jump in on this but…
1. Prem or top European league? Wake up and smell the Championship! Why when we have Holt, Fortune and Powell all fit would having a 4th available striker when Coyle only starts with 1 suddenly mean we starting taking all 3 points?
2. Dicko isn’t out on loan….
3. Standish did say at this level. There is also the fact they have two completely different styles of play. Kone worked best for me when the ball is played into his feet so he could hold up play and bring others into the game.
We just don’t play that way anymore.

In response: everything that Salford has said, plus…
Kone had one decent season in the Premier League. At times his first touch was shocking and he was berrated on this very forum by many for being lazy/slow/having a poor first touch etc.
Yes, he was a decent striker for us, but as he was an FA Cup winner, he seems to have been mounted on a pedestal along with the likes of Roger Espinoza – who is another player I consider to be decent, but not a world beater.
Fortune was an accomplished Premier League striker for three seasons. When Kone has had three half decent seasons in England then I’ll concede that he’s better than Fortune. But by the way his Everton career is going and the reaction of their supporters towards him, I doubt he’ll still be there by next August.
