Player Suggestion Richard Kone

[Guesty]

Miles Leaburn another decent young prospect

Son of Carl "Goal Machine" Leaburn I do believe.

I’d have looked at him this summer as a Jebbo/Osula replacement but he was injured still if we wanted to add another young physical striker to the set up to develop alongside One he’d be the one to go and get this summer.

It’s what Bournemouth have been doing in recent years bringing in physically gifted young strikers and seeing how they develop. It’s not a bad idea if you hit on developing one you end up with a very very valuable asset. We’ve lost two of the three we had so it wouldn’t hurt to add one or two.

As you say it is a shame for the lad it has been stop start with injuries he definitely has a bright future ahead.

He is in the bracket of young up and coming striker that has the potential to go to the top.

Charlton’s Miles Leaburn: ‘People were saying I was only there because of my dad’

Forward’s father was a club hero and his mother looks after the squad but 6ft 7in youngster is thriving on his own merit

Given Bloomfield has just moved there that is no surprise...plus they will need a proven division one striker next season

Lad can play a bit.
Luton have just submitted a £6m offer.

Worth every penny. Should have gone for him ourselves.

You haven’t mentioned this before…

Only a couple of times!

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Aye
£6 million for someone that nearly scored in 3rd division

 

[Danetheblade]

Aye
£6 million for someone that nearly scored in 3rd division

I mean, one way of looking at it I guess. Or 6 Million for someone who’s scored 17 goals, 2 assists, and is waaaaaaaay above the average on pretty much every stat in the 3rd league…

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Is he the next Isac......take a punt.

Luton Town have submitted a £6m bid to Wycombe Wanderers for striker Richard Kone in an attempt to reunite the 21-year-old with former Chairboys boss Matt Bloomfield at Kenilworth Road. (Football Insider)

Make that 19 goals now.

HOW ARE WE NOT EVEN LOOKING AT HIM!!!?

Why arent the other Championship clubs apart from Luton looking at him then?

Probably cause he’ll cost a fee that most championship clubs won’t spend? Leeds have a fantastic front four, along with Burnley so no need to purchase?

Great chat.

 

[YES Blade]

Cause we’ve just signed Tom Cannon?

 

[Silent Blade]

Great chat.

Keith Edwards scored over 250 goals but the first division clubs werent interested in buying him

 

[Danetheblade]

Cause we’ve just signed Tom Cannon?

Ahh yeah. Why not both

 

[Danetheblade]

Before my time, can’t comment on that to be fair.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WE ARENT LOOKING AT HIM?

ALSO WE MAY HAVE LOOKED AT HIM AMD DECIDED WE DONT WANT HIM FOR 6M PLUS

 

[Danetheblade]

WHY WOULD YOU NOT? HE’S SCORED 19 GOALS IN THE LEAGUE BELOW. WE’VE SPENT 10M ON A PLAYER WHOS SCORED A FRACTION OF THAT IN OPEN PLAY.

 

[Silent Blade]

Before my time, can’t comment on that to be fair.

Kone looks a very good prospect on paper but I dont know the reasons why not many Championship clubs are interested in buying him. I saw a lot of Keith Edwards and I could understand why first division clubs werent interested in buying him. I dont know much about Kone apart from seeing his goals on the ITV4 programme but I suspect many clubs dont think he is worth the fee Wycombe want.

 

[YES Blade]

Ahh yeah. Why not both

Because we also have Moore, Campbell, Brewster, BBD and Oné.

A defender is also a higher priority.

Oné needs a loan out, Moores an impact sub, Campbell is first choice imo. I’m not even responding to Brewdog.

We currently have 6 strikers and normally play 1 up front. (granted some can and do also play other positions)

Just get over it, we ain’t going to be signing another striker after paying £10m for one less than a week ago.

Sorry mate, I’ll just not bother talking about other players as an option. We’ll go with Cannon. Quality performance against Hull .

I’ll keep coming back to this thread. When he gets picked up and smashes it I’ll be the first to say “Told you we should’ve gone for him over Cannon”
