AlbanyNYToffee Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Naismith is gone. Kone is dreadful. Who should we REALISTICALLY sign to "replace" these two? Keeping in mind this could be our LM if Martinez doesn't want to use two out and out wingers. Some names from the press/twitter: Oumar Niasse, Andre Gray, Lacina Traore, Moussa Dembele, Andriy Yarmolenko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Kone has had a bad run because he's been mis-managed. It's a blip, and I think with a decent rest / kick up the backside, we'll see the Kone we all saw in the first few months of this season; not brilliant but hard working, chipping in with goals and assits and getting even more out of Rom.

Romey 1878 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Andre Gray won't be going anywhere until the summer at the earliest btw. He's already played for two clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Kone is far from dreadful, been a very useful player considering he's played out of position.. dlblue and Chach 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Kone is only useful 1 game in 2, or coming off the bench. Provided its not too cold..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 no Nolito? lol matt well played i knew i liked you. matt i would kiss bill kenwright if we could get nolito you know what a player he is and how much i appreciate his talents. but my stalking recently has shown that barca made a small approach/contact with his people and he said he's not interested in going to barca anymore he's happy at celta vigo and he's on contract there till 2019. not to mention he's 29 and not an out an out striker, would be a mirallas replacment. but fuck me i would have him in a heartbeat 20m pounds. better than yarmo i believe, the man is a points machine. 15 apps 8 goals 5 assists. thats scoring or creating a score almost 1 a match!!

He's also 29 so absolutely no sell on value at all. 20m+ is a lot to spend on someone at that age. dlblue and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Breel Embolo, but neither are likely free till seasons end. Yarmolenko, Lacazette, and Embolo would go a long way to replacing Lukaku, with his likely year end departure.

captainbeaker Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Surely with the money paid the hope is Kone's long term replacement will be Shani Tarashaj when he comes in the summer. Bringing in Yarmolenko would be the ideal scenario for Naismith leaving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hiljemark would be a great signing but he is more cover for Barkley. I would like Yarmolenko here but i doubt that it will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elston Gunnn Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Norwich defense more disorganized than ours. Two wide-open goals last 10 minutes. Naismith will need a hat trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 My least favorite "play" is the back pass to the goalie. Norwich just provided a howler of a howler, so after leading 3-1, they now trail 4-3. As I say, Naisy needs a hat trick, or more likely 4 by himself.

Shukes Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Definately us. 3-1 ahead only to salvage a point in injury time......then to lose, also in injury time.

Elston Gunnn Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Norwich defense horrible, horrible. After tying at 4-4 in stoppage, they gave up a goal in 95th minute.
