Kone's Next Destination

It was his best for sure. I just dont like the way his voice rises towards the end of a sentence as if he is asking a question. It is almost asking for agreement.

For me Kone always looked better as a ‘Finisher’ rather than a Starter.

I don’t like it when anyone does that TBF.

Still time for a little twist in the tale yet!

Also very annoying that he wasn’t given a farewell penalty. Idiotic stuff.

That’s a great bit of business for the club. Amazed QPR have won the bidding war.

I wonder how the fee will be paid and if the £5M includes £1-2M of additions.

Hopefully also a percentage of any future sale.

Would you be a crime not to

We need a replacement like yesterday. Udoh is our only striker with Fink injured and he clearly does not work up front alone . Get him injured and we is screwed

It is being stated that the fee is just under £3M up front with add ons taking it up to £5M. It is also being reported that the medical is planned to take place tomorrow and Kone is keen to move to QPR. As reported by EFL Analysis.

How much would Athletic Newham FC gain from this deal ( if true) ? I bet they are salivating at the thought.

No mention of any sell-on for Athletic Newham here - Richard Kone set to sign - Wycombe Wanderers

So let’s get Morley and a goal scoring front man out of the Kone cash.

Hopefully the management saw this coming and have a replacement lined up. Pretty poor planning if not.

We ought to play them in a friendly to raise a bit of money for their club.

Though another 2-1 defeat wouldn’t be good for our morale.

I would assume Fink is the replacement? And the 10+ other outfield signings we’ve made since January. We may bring someone else in on loan or for a low fee, but I’d assume Fink is the replacement.

If they don’t replace him then they are not serious about us doing anything this year. Fink out for three weeks apparently ( which probably means four or five ).
