AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 We turned down Douglas on a free. We're clearly not signing anyone this summer. Not even Matt Taylor. http://www.disney.co.uk/cms_res/winnie-the-pooh/characters/eeyore_new.png He's looking far too cheerful there, he's wearing a pink bow FFS.

Wil Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 What to make of this? Sports Direct News! Sorry if already posted.. ........Newcastle United have made a dramatic late entrance into the race for Wigan Athletic striker Arouna Kone - in a bid to hijack his move to Everton. Toon boss Mike Ashley has told Latics he will pay £5 million for the Ivory Coast hit man and has been given permission to talk to him. Kone was due to close a move to Goodison and team up with former Wigan chief Roberto Martinez, but now he has two choices. Newcastle will pay the £5m up front that Latics owner Dave Whelan is demanding and are happy to compete at the death and try to talk Kone round. Kone was a big success in his debut season in the Premier League and was chased by Norwich and Swansea City before Everton showed their hand. Despite Kone saying that he prefers Everton the door is just slightly open for Newcastle who badly want the powerful and skillful African. Kone will not be at Wigan for pre-season training today as he sorts out his future, with an unexpected alternative on his mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Moody Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Yeah I don't know much about him to be fair. I know he's fast - but I didn't follow Wigan last season, and had zero interest in watching MOTD or any highlights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say yes. Yeah i wouldnt believe a word on that site after their last few stories. Would take Kone probably over Bent as he at least has pace and works for the team. Can also work out wide too. Not that i think Ashley will pay for a bloke in his 30's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Moody Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 http://www1.skysports.com/news/11095/8803280/ Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan has admitted to receiving three bids for Arouna Kone, with Everton among the interested parties. Sky Sports revealed on Tuesday that the Toffees had made an approach, with Roberto Martinez planning a raid on his former employees. Kone has been linked with a switch to Goodison Park ever since it was confirmed that Martinez was to leave the Latics for Merseyside. He has a £5million buy-out clause in his contract and is looking to activate that following Wigan's relegation out of the Premier League. Everton are prepared to offer him an immediate return to the top flight, but they face competition for the Ivorian's signature from two other clubs. Whelan said on a possible deal: "Three clubs have made offers for Kone - Everton is one - as he had a clause in his contract that he could go if someone paid £5m. "I think he will go to Everton."

KaKa Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Could well believe this, as Kone was very productive last season, and is an absolute steal at £5 million. Also, a far more rounded striker than Bent, who can play that wide role in a 4-3-3, which he often did when Wigan sometimes played DiSanto as the number 9, with Maloney just off him on the left, and Kone just off him on the right.
