He moves the ball well and makes nice runs but he's not a guy who's going to be progressively carrying the ball IMO CanadaFan123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 He was a winger that's recently been converted to play in the centre. He'd good in posession but is more ball carrier than passer, though his passing is fine. He's kind of like Yunis Musah in some ways, but if Musah is like a bull Kone is more like a butterfly, if that makes sense. Or another analogy, he's kind of like a better version of Okello. He's smaller than Okello (everyone is), but without looking it up the kid is over 6 feet for sure, maybe 6'1 or 6'2. He's kind of graceful in the way he carries the ball, but seems like a better ball winner than Okello (though I wouldn't call him a pure ball winner) and is dependable in posession, which is something I have been impressed with. In some ways he's probably in competition with Ralph Priso moving forward. Shway, ag futbol and GasPed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I think he’s good depth if called and has been good enough to get called, he’s put himself on the radar for us and surely Ivory Coast U-23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Would seem to be a no brainer to be called. I typically wouldn’t say that about someone so green but he could be a nice addition. If we’re calling 6 central/defensive midfielders and Piette is out we need someone to slot in. With Wotherspoon out, Priso regaining fitness, Okello/Baldisimo remaining mediocre and Teibert presumably not rated, he’s right there. Unless Herdman does something unexpected and calls Bekker (which I wouldn’t mind at all) I think it’s between Kone and Zouhir. Lucas Dias would be another interesting option but not sure he’s ready to commit. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the 5 matches I've seen. Montreal fans may correct me. yea you nailed it. To answer the other poster's question. If you base an assessment on his first game, he has potential to play in the top leagues but his other four pro games show he is still raw and needs lots of seasoning. He's an excellent dribbler, has decent pace and very good vision. His passing is also very good. Hid defensive positioning and marking needs work. Also I see nervousness in his play. But that will disappear with more games Edited March 18, 2022 by Sal333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal333 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Last year around this time we saw Buchanan arrive on the national scene. This year it's Kone. He's still a little raw but this kid is something else - offensively. johnyb, Dominic94, Ally McCoist and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I assume he was man of the match in FotMob - but for some reason no one has put him in their database and thus they can’t give him a rating. But no one else was given the award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
