Player Suggestion Richard Kone

[Wards]

Big gamble at £5m. Half a season wonder.

Yep, huge drop off towards the end of the season.

 

[Upton_Blade]

I think he's a really good talent, and I was on here during the whole Cannon speculation shouting about how we should sign Kone instead.

BUT, he really dropped off quite terribly in the second half of the season. 0 goals in his last 10 games. I think because he's come straight from non-league football, there might be a bit of a fitness / conditioning issue.

There's a couple of fanatics sharpening their pitchfolks right now. He's the best striker that's ever played the game don't you know!

 

[Blade56]

Billionaire owner said not available at any price, suddenly he’s available for <£5m, mmmmmmmmm, what’s changed apart from drop on form?

Could be gem but don’t think these owners are into gut reactions, sorry Danetheblade

 

[NateDogg]

If we were flush with cash then he'd be worth a gamble but seen as we really need some defenders and weve got some strikers its not a gamble we can afford. Imagine if we signed him and he was actually shit. This forum would lose it shit.....again.

I suspect the player now wants to leave. That's probably the difference.

Wycombe are my local club and I've seen him play a few times. Reminds me a lot of One'. Big potential but also could be a bust. Sometimes goes missing for large parts of the game and despite his size hes not a target man in the sense that Moore or McBurnie are.

That's not to say he won't make it but I just dont see how he gets in the team. He qould be behind every striker we currently have in the pecking order

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Would be the wrong way to spend that sort of money if we even have that sort of money to spend

We have enough contracted younger CFs already and the type we need there is a Moore replacement with some experience

Money should be spent on defenders

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Well, that's that then.

 

[Blademan89]

Well, that's that then.

Thought these was skint?

 

[robbiez666]

I like the lad but he's well overpriced and a risk after a good start top last season.

 

[john Mathison]

Apparently we are looking for 2 striker's, 4 names in the frame, and McBurnie is one of them.

Obvious question, who are the other 3?

 

[Frank the tank]

Oh right so contacting someone means it's a done deal
Sound

Can we start looking for 2 CBs instead?

 

[Frank the tank]

Honestly dont know what the fuss is all about with this lad
I dont see anything worth getting excited about

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Obvious question, who are the other 3?

Barnsley winger striker Potuguese young and hungry out of the Benfica academy.

 

[bertieblade]

Barnsley winger striker Potuguese young and hungry out of the Benfica academy.

Any ideas on a source or is it a like to have ?

 

[john Mathison]

Obvious question, who are the other 3?

A league 1 striker, ( don't think its Kone') two loans, one , possibly two from Europe.

 

[bertieblade]

Well that’s informative

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Barnsley winger striker Potuguese young and hungry out of the Benfica academy.

Are you (somehow) sponsored’per word’ or is their name (even) longer than 12 words

 

[designedbyross]

Fabio Jalo is the player being referred to. He’s scored some great goals for Barnsley youth team, but would be another one for the future really.

Player in Germany, Barnsley lad and/or McBurnie.
Weird 3 if you ask me. Suppose it depends on who this German lad is.

Or if it's been said for clicks and engagement.

 

[Bookers Mullet]

As if we could afford 5 million, maybe a fiver and bag of skittles

 

[Upton_Blade]

I mean we paid £10m for Cannon in January but just because our owners haven't blown their load yet this summer we're skint, even though there's absolutely zero evidence, according to people like you.

Whenever I hear someone use a derivative of that joke I think of this man

Could be Davis kellier Dunn, he’s rumoured to be around 5 million they want for him could be him but also can’t see us paying that

Which by all accounts was borrowed against this year's parachute payments. No indication they have money at all

I think more of this.
