Richard Kone 11:03 - Mar 11 with 5347 views | portmanking | Nugget of info I've received. We're very keen on him. Been watching him like a hawk while keeping taps on Humphreys and even came close to bidding in January. Apparently, it's possible that we sell Al-Hamadi and use those funds to put towards a bid for Kone. Hirst, Kone and one other would be an athletic front line for the Championship. |  | | |  |

He gets goals from being in the right place, but against better defences and better keepers, he might not be allowed that. See his goal against posh this weekend as a case in point. |  | |  |

Richard Kone on 13:07 - Mar 11 by davblue | The improvement in 14 months has been remarkable, seen lots of him over that time. If he continues his current trajectory then he will make it as a championship striker, if he’s at that level and what you would assume is a top level championship team, I’m not sure. Seen quite a bit of him, still raw, but is physically strong and can run the channels. Heard he was keen on Luton in Jan but they couldn’t agree a fee. Think it went up to 7 million, so it will be a hefty price to pay for him. |
Premier League clubs were interested as well, I believe. Think Wycombe were after double what was being offered. Scouted for Wycombe by our own Scott Mitchell, now with Oxford United. |  | |  |

Richard Kone on 12:41 - Mar 11 by textbackup | Maybe the powers that be within ITFC see this bloke as a far better option than AAH, so will offer him out to Wycombe as part of the deal. Now we aren’t shopping in the reduced isles we can ultimately pick and chose who we want and don’t want (obviously without being completely naive and wasteful) |
Not sure Wycombe would be particularly keen to have him back. |  | |  |

What with Cameron Humphreys having a good season there, maybe both clubs have a good relationship. Might help us sign him - that’s if we’re interested. |  | |  |
