Roberto Martinez & Arouna Kone Reunited as Everton pay out £6m

Arouna Kone closely follows behind Martinez at Everton. Roberto singed the forward from Levante last summer to help bolster Wigan's Weak forward line. He made some good impressions on his first season in the league however Martinez was not going to easily give up on the Ivory Coast player, and not long after becoming new Merseyside Manger brought in with him Arouna.

The 29 year old will be singed to Everton for 3 years, the same as his contract with Wigan however the release clause in his contract was met and later the contract sorted. Kone said to BBC, "Every player dreams of playing for a bigger club and coming here is a big step up for me."

Some people believe Kone may not be good enough for a team as good as Everton. What's your view, a waste of money, or is there something else Roberto saw in Kone we haven't?

Grant Holt Joins the Latics for £2m

Well, with Arouna Kone gone, Grant Holt is straight in as the replacement. Owen Coyle's New signing will join the 6 other players to have signed for recently relegated side Wigan Athletic.

Owen Coyle's response to his new signing was, "He will definitely bring something new to the table that we were missing in the squad."

I completely agree with this statement as I believe Wigan's main issue last season was the lack of goals. The set of defenders at the club were strong, and some great midfielders. However I you watch teams like Southampton and Swansea who survive most times, they seem to concede very often. So my conclusion is that they try to out score rather than fully knuckle down defensively. Maybe this is the way to stay up in the prem?

I also believe their set of strikers weren't the strongest, and although Arouna Kone was a hit with a lot of Premier  League fans I don't believe he did what they needed at Wigan. However I believe holts the man they need. Holt is a naturally talented striker and finishes for fun, he can hold up the ball an battle against almost any defender. The main argument for Holt is that he proved well in the Premier League so he surely can only do better in the League down?

Christian Benteke to leave Aston Villa

Just recently 22 year old Aston Villa forward Christian Benteke told Aston Villa that he hopes to no longer be a part of the team at the end of the transfer window. He said himself "If Aston Villa say I must stay, I won't necessarily accept that.

Villa have said they are happy to let him go when a good enough offer comes in for him and the time given to reply is reasonable enough for them to evaluate it. Paul Lambert the Claret and Blue manager has said he would hope with 3 years still on Benteke's contact that he sticks to the club for the next years as they build a strong squad, if a deal isn't done before the transfer window shuts. Lambert admits he would like Christian to be a part of that team. 

If he leaves what team do you recon will be the team he goes too, and who do you think will be interested in him now after his request? Leave your comments below...
