[Balham]

With their league position , new contract signed , and an ambitious owner , they are not going to let a player of this type leave unless silly money is offered :-

Wycombe Wanderers are to switch their training base to Harlington in west London, a site previously used by Chelsea and Queen's Park Rangers.

Earlier this year, the club were in talks to acquire Reading's Bearwood Park training ground, but ultimately they came to nothing.

The Chairboys say the Harlington site, owned by Imperial College London, will be used by the first team but will also enable "the development of a new academy".

“Our vision for the sustainable growth and success of the club are underpinned by the need for Wycombe Wanderers to have access to first-class training facilities," said chief football officer and interim chairman Dan Rice.

"Harlington is an excellent venue for us to develop our plans for establishing our first team at a higher level, and for creating an academy at the highest possible standard.

"We have undergone a thorough process to identify and secure the right facility for us and Harlington - with convenient transport links and located close to both Wycombe and London - suits our requirements."

The site, near Heathrow airport, has 18 full-size grass pitches and an astroturf one, as well as a gymnasium, canteen, changing rooms, and meeting and video analysis rooms.

Board member Eduard Vyshnyakov said the club's former Marlow Road training ground would now be considered as "an alternative training site, alongside other possible opportunities".

Wycombe finished 10th in League One last season, 11 points adrift of the play-off places.

Since then the club have been taken over by Kazakhstan billionaire Mikheil Lomtadze's Blue Ocean Partners Ltd, who bought a 90% stake from former owner Rob Couhig.

All good. I cycle past there on my way to and from work. I'll doorstop Koné and extol the virtues of Shirecliffe over ICL's Harlington base.

He's very raw, but physically he's got all the tools. However if we did sign him he'd be one for the future and an option off the bench currently. He'd also allow One to go out on loan.

Not sure what Wycombes new owners ambitions are as he's a multi billionaire but he's bought a club that only averages 6k despite being top 2 all season. You wd assume hes looking to build something and he doesn't need the money so he's going to cost a lot of money and that's assuming he's available.

Only seen him live once v Mansfield and he did nothing.

There's probably still more chance of an affordable deal for Kone with Wycombe than with Villa for Barry.

Completely different players

Oh, agreed - I meant more in terms of if we can presumably only afford one forward player this window, he may be the more affordable of the two.

Bumping this thread on the basis of Cannon.

Dick Kone would be a shrewd signing. Quite like the look of him. Wycombe owned by some rich bastards though.

Christened Kone. But the world will remember him by another name...

 

[Blade56]

That’s his new dressing room nickname sorted if he comes here

Rather see this lad and RJJ than have our pants down by Leicester, if they need money they can put themselves in admin again. Don’t think Wycombe can be forced to sell and he’s not on Wilders Rolladex list.

Feck, we can’t turn a Wycombe players head

Player could just do a Ramsdale/Slimane and refuse to play. Wycombe then have no other real option but to ask for a fee.

Makes me wonder if a club could sue a player for breaking their contract

We're trying to get promoted from the Champ, not just stay up in it.

Then why are we going for Cannon?

Day two of posting the obvious (and cheaper) option over Cannon.
