    Very eye catching display last night for a guy who was playing Amateur football only last season... Night and day difference between him and Watters. Would not be shocked to see him playing Prem football at some point, reminded me of Ivan Toney

    Would need to see him play regularly against good defenders first before rating him so highly.

    He looked really handy and has scored 16 already this season. He's got an interesting background having played in the homeless world cup 5 years ago.

    I'd have liked to have seen him play against good defenders last night!

    Oh yes, our lot couldn’t handle him and he looks a great buy for them at this level, but would need see him against decent defenders before putting too much accolade on him.

    Where's that geezer Kone that we were linked with these days? Around the time of cryptic clues being out in media when announcing signings etc

    Wycombe have rejected a £6 million offer for him from Luton. £6million for twelve months in League One. Absolute bat sh.t.

    He can't be any good - he was playing non league last season and non league players are crap apparently

    Moussa Kone. Former Dresden player now plying his trade in the Slovakian top flight for a club that sounds like a name IKEA would give to a coffee table.

    Can't have been that good if he's from non league, their board can't have any ambition signing somebody from there. For reference see multi posts on here stating such! :confused:

    Virtually nobody in this league would. Huge offer to turn down for a player who's only had a good 6 months in pro football. Mental really.

    £6 million is a lot for this league. Huddersfield spending what £3 million on Taylor and then Dion Charles. I don’t want to say Birmingham’s summer spending has ruined this division but it can’t have helped.

    Kone has had a very interesting career so far. We’ve done well with non league defenders in the past but it’s always been the case that strikers demand more money. Shame we’ve never found an attacking gem.
