Incoming? Ismael Kone

[raimond]

I've seen the highlights, he looks good but he's very inexperienced, unlike Berge. Berge was 22 when he arrived and had played in the Champions League and still took 1.5 years to find his feet with us, if Kone is to be a regular then he will have to adapt quickly for us to mitigate the loss of Sander leaving.

Plus the MLS is fekkin awful. Let's see shall we....no idea if Sander's going yet let alone anyone else coming in. I'd be perfectly happy if nowt at all happens ta.

The highlights clip I saw of him included him poorly controlling the ball and even a few simply who cares passes....

Looking more likely, Berge to go?best window ever if he doesn't?

 

[dc_blade]

I guess he doesn’t head many goals

Wouldn't be playing him as kone striker, let's put it that way

 

[dillis]

Wow. Surely means Berge is off? Or are we actually fucking guin for it

Fabrizio Romano reporting Kone deal done. Now I believe it.

Here’s an interesting possible alternative ….. what if Hecky has persuaded the board to keep Sander AND sign Kone due to the injury to Fleck?

Gets the Kone deal approved.

Yes but he is 6ft 2 and Berge is 6ft 5.

But Kone is 20. He might still be growing!

Kone is good!! Everytime I've seen him play (10+ times) it's more central. But very athletic and likes to move the ball forward. Very happy with this signing. Plus he's a good ole Canadian boy

 

[dillis]

He hasn’t confirmed it’s done is my point, I’ve seen the tweet. I’ve also seen a video of him confirming Berge is off to Brugge as well unfortunately.

Also in for Callum Styles by all accounts

We have seen over the last couple of seasons that English football is difficult for foreign players to adjust to. We are only now seeing the best Berge. Would be very surprised to see anyone come over from the MLS and set the championship a light. TBH don't know much about him though

 

[Westran]

Love to see a new signing video of this guy with Berge on the welcoming committee as he walks into Shirecliffe

Jack Harrison did alright!

Like Ahmedhodzic, maybe an investement too good to turn down? Young athletic guy with good ability playing at a not great level; big clubs hesitating and we jump in?
