I don't know how many seasons in a row we haven't been well stocked at both RB and LB. I don't know what it is with the club but we don't seem to take those two positions very seriously.
If I remember right this contract extension was also announced with big balava in that Fans Forum last autumn where they also announced Marti/Calm contract extensions. Think JCS got injured again just a couple of days later and hasn't played since!
Instead of talking about Ba, Kone, et al, can't we just sign them before other clubs come in for them? I see the Korean lad is now at Pompey but no great loss in my eyes, too lightweight.
The club hasn't talked about signing Kone, it's all online gossip. There were supposedly as many as 10 clubs already interested in signing him, so it's not as if our interest has suddenly alerted other clubs. If we do wind up signing him it will be a bit of a coup.
Stroller, more than a coup, a miracle, I would say. And the longer it's not official......... him and Saito would be great. The who sounds like a croquet player ,I know nothing about.
