Kone
- Thread starter Teessidemackem
- Start date
Apologies Brian, but any manager with a defence like ours should have them in working to rectify the situation. That's all my point is.All managers do it, and all managers did it for them when they were players. Don't single out Coleman when it's part of footballing culture. Id appreciate it if you didn't use my posts to fuel your Colman vendetta
I agree myself but I believe it represents football today and not Coleman specifically
Kone is not the sharpest tool in the box, but he was our best bet in there. That we have to rely on these disinterested players sums it up, but there's nothing wrong with him taking a holiday if its sanctioned by the club, as seems to be the case.
Better if he had shared a meal with his former mentor over the break.

The two K;s certainly brought out the best in each other, both have since had seasons to forget, Kaboul has hardly kicked a ball this season for Watford, and looks like N'Dong is following suit. Kaboul was a big player for us, but just like many others sadly he could not wait to get away. Didnt want to be here in the first place I guess, and only came as a last option, but he, unlike a few others at least gave it a go once he was here.
Kaboul left for family reasons. His child was poorly and in a London hospital, apparently.
I remember that he turned us down when Keane tried to sign him from Spurs the first time, and, at the time he was reported as saying that he would not move here under any circumstances. Even so, when he came eventually, he was one of my favourite players, and showed us what a CD should be. I know that he quoted family reasons when he left, and I hope that things went well for him if that is the case. He did not let us down in any way once he arrived, just the opposite in fact, and I only wish that we could say that about a few others I could mention.

Yeah i remember the first time he turned us down. It pished me off when we did eventually sign him when i thought back to that.He said Pompey had better prospects than us.
His agent said an earthquake couldn't move him here. He kept Kone right tho, old head young legs. Kone is back to being a pap French player.
Kaboul came as a crock and has been at Watford.
It shows the gulf between us and struggling Premier Team that players rated on here can't get a look in.
