Matt Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=38455 Stats are not awful neither were Beckfords. In fact, he had a goals to minutes ratio that put him up there with the likes of Drogba, RVP, Rooney. Id rather take Beckford back than Jones....

Hafnia Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 For me this signing would just send out the wrong signals. Progression in our style and results should be supplemented with players that can further this... not bringing in a player that would need to step up to match our current levels. Given Moyes penknives to gunfights analogy, bringing Jones in as back up for Lukaku is like buying a knuckleduster in case you run out of bullets... because its cheap and in the right circumstances an effective weapon doesn't make it a suitable replacement. I'm very indifferent to this rumour, as cheap as he is we need to use our raised profile to make a statement of intent. Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I've trusted Martinez' judgment up until now. If this goes through I'll have to scratch my head a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I guess if we can establish that Kenwynne is better than Vic then its not so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Kenwyne has almost twice the goals/game ratio(.24 vs .13) than Vic... still not good that though. If he did happen to come here -- which I hope he doesn't -- then I'd hold my tongue until he proved me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenosetoffee Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I remember everyone saying this when Jelavic came to Everton as well. Saying the Scottish league is slower than the EPL. (I think I was one of them to say it) and he proved everyone wrong in the second half of the season. If Kenwyne Jones could make a similar impact then why not. I am not saying he would score 11 goals like Jelavic or even start in front of Lukaku. To me though he could be the difference of getting into Europe. Don't get me wrong Jones touch is terrible, he is a bad passer on the ball and 9/10 is selfish. (Rather go for goal than squaring it in the box). What he does have though is a physical presence like Lukaku. Jones is a player who gets in the right place at the right time. Reminds me of Berba, Carrol, Bent, Ba and even Sturridge. Stoke have good players but in terms of delivery I think that Everton is better. With the likes of Mirallas, Pienaar, Baines and Coleman giving the deliveries it adds variety. I think a player like Jones would thrive at Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2i0 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 for 1Mill is a good deal, imo good header..i remember him scoring against us with good headers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Angel Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 When was the last time Everton bought a striker with immmense pace? I would like to see us go for someone like negredo. Good at holding it up but had the legs to get past people aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenosetoffee Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Don't see why everyone has a problem with Jones. He is a good player. If we got him for 1 million then why not. He would probably get in front of Kone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
