Signed for £600k from Sweden last year. Fair play.
Turns out when you find and sign defenders with pace other teams want to sign them. Shame we went for Bobby and Kitching.
Kind of. The article was basically “if you can’t afford the best strikers in Europe (Vik/Isak/Ekitike) here’s who you should look at” and Kone was at the top in the Vik ‘Power Forward’ category.
Scouted are REALLY high on Kone. They had him in their best under-the-radar U23 strikers in all of Europe article a month or two back. Named him alongside guys like Franjo Ivanovic who just moved to Benfica for £25m.
I would be more than happy letting Kai Andrews take Allen's role coming off the bench. Give the youngster some gametime to ease him in to Championship football rather than Allen who we know isn't going to improve.
