Again you’re saying fairly much what you said about him during the AWs window. 

The arguments made then- he’s scoring because he’s part of a better team and now he’s up against 2 Championship CBs in a one sided game where the keeper was the MVP so we shouldn’t select him - are fairly funny. 

He’s only getting a chance to play 70 minutes in the Championship because he was signed by a team high up the table in League One and is the second choice striker for a Championship team. 

Seeing this is getting my goat again, here’s a new argument, perhaps slightly less facile: 

Transfermarkt valuations
Andy Lyons:        1 million euro
Ben Waine:           600K euro
Kosta:                   450K euro
Max Mata:            325K euro
Ben Mata:             300K euro
Hamish Watson:  300K euro
Daniel Udoh:        275K euro
Graham Burke:     275K euro 
Myer Bevan:        250K euro
Nando Pijnaker:   175K euro
Luke Supyk/Gabriel Sloane-Rodrigues :          75K
Aaron Greene:     50K

Especially considering Lachy Wales and others Kosta’s value either hasn’t updated his after his recent season or that age is rated much more important a downside than pedigree and form is an upside by the website. And pooooossibly the NZFC is slightly overrated. Though Kaltak has come from there to be a sensation at the top team in the A League, so maybe it isn’t.
