Lol it would appear the options are as follows GK - Anyone we can get from Wigan Def - Anyone we can get from Wigan Mid -Anyone we can get from Wigan STR- Anyone we can get from Wigan

Ok sorry Wigan / ex Wigan players !

Weve just paid £6.5 for a 30 year old so I dont think its too bad, besides didnt Chelsea pay £10M for him last year?

I wonder if there will be any money left over to get some more Wigan players in January

Ah I see So I take it Martinez likes players losing the ball then?

Why?

Yes , and he was there http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11682/8530897/Wigan-striker-Arouna-Kone-says-that-African-Cup-of-Nations-improved-his-fitness

I see the Newcastle correspondent for their local paper has tweeted to say they are now out of the running as Kone has his heart set on Everton Got to give him credit for that because they are bound to have offered him a better deal I would be disappointed if we don't get him because I think he would do a decent job for us and Im not overly concerned by his age but at the same time if it didn't come off I wouldn't lose any sleep over it because its £5 - £6.5 M for a 30 year old who is going to disappear for 2 months during the most crucial part of the season when the ACN is on is hardly deal of the century

Lol Maybe if he had kept it under wraps we could have had him signed up before Newcastle stepped in

So if he came back and got 30 goals in the league next year it would be pointless?

We didn't because he was never our player to start with Lets be honest if he was given the choice of Everton or Milan with Champions League football its not really a great surprise that he hasn't chosen us

Local papers seem to think its a done deal and they are also saying its £6.5M http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/sport/everton-fc/everton-fc-news/2013/07/04/99623-33562059/

http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/sport/everton-fc/everton-fc-news/2013/07/04/99623-33562059/ Not interested in him apparently

I would be more interested in what he could do on the pitch to be honest

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/8804131/ Lol Oh yes it does! Says he wants four players in before the window closes
