Kone is hardly an unknown tbf.... played for PSV, Sevilla, Hannover and scored 15 times for Levante last season as well as 38 caps for Ivory Coast.

 

Its more a surprise he hasn't been picked up before Wigan signed him, wouldn't put it down to scouting too much.

Fair enough didnt know this but I'm sure you agree that Wigan has always found some fantastic players on the cheap who were later sold for a lot of money.

 

Roudrigez and Fegarouwa (spelling ?) are looking good too.

Oh no doubt in that sense they know what money they have and know where to search and where not to search.

 

Now Figueroa he was a great find, plucking him from Honduras was a great move.... i seem to remember they plucked Antonio Valencia and Wilson Palacios from nowhere as well too.

 

They seem to have a decent network in South America at least.

Valencia was very good at the world cup in 2006. I remember a lot of People on here were keen for us to sign him. Witan got him on loan and the rest is history. Anyone remember how good Amr Zaki was in his first 6 months at Wigan, some labeling him the next Shearer.

Zarate is another one who impressed at Wigan and was being labelled as the next big thing, wasn't he?

 

Played for Birmingham not Wigan. Floundering at Lazio last time I looked.
