Will Kone and Casey happen?

[PSumbler]

As it says on the tin.

Swans linked heavily with two players in recent days but will either/both happen?

 

[Dr. Winston]

The Casey deal seems pretty far along and will probably happen. We're likely to be outbid for Kone, which to be honest I'm fine with as the numbers being mooted are way too high for my liking considering his contract status and the fact that he's only really played well for less than one full season in League One.

We've been here before with Max Watters. The latest hot prospect from the lower leagues who was clearly destined for big things until he actually landed in the Championship and turned out to be a bit shit.

Macualey Langstaff would be a more recent example also.

I hope the club are working on some backup options as this one does seem likely to get too expensive for us. I thought Vipotnik would get the chance to improve on last season, but Sheehan does not seem to be a fan.

Aye, big money for one league 1 season. Very high risk indeed.

Ted McDougall refused to comment.

I understand the scepticism on Kone, seeing as he's effectively had one good season at League One, but there's definitely a different feel to him than with Watters and Langstaff. Langstaff in particular was being openly rejected by clubs (us included, supposedly) through fears of him not being able to make the step up, whereas there are an absolute plethora of clubs trying to bag Kone.

Not even one whole season if memory serves. His performances dropped off a cliff when they changed managers.

 

[Swansea93]

It’s a huge risk that amount of money, I haven’t seen a lot of him apart from when he scored against us and YouTube, but I’m trusting peoples opinions who’ve watched him more and all the clubs interested.

Kellman who joined Charlton from QPR after his loan in L1 last season scored more than Kone.

 

[NWJack]

If we dont get Kone, I'd rather go loan then get in another dud. Whats the point in shipping out Yates & Bianchini otherwise

 

[Swansea93]

Danns from Liverpool looks a very good player and would be extremely happy if we managed to get him on loan

In fairness, Wycombe were generally awful after changing managers. He's hated by most of the fans

 

[magicdaps10]

WHU defender I would say yes, Kone I am unsure.

Dont know if there is a battle for his signature or his club trying to create more interest.

I will go yes to both.

 

[Ringwood]

We most definitely need a number 9

I guess the McB ship has sailed?

Does it depends on how desperate we get with a striker? Doesn't seem to fit the profile of what we are trying to achieve with younger players and sell them on. Imagine we have other options but McBurnie will need to be realistic about his wages and demands.

 

[Ringwood]

Well it depends what our ambitions are, if playoffs and promotion is our goal then a more accomplished striker would be needed to achieve this.

If the Kone signing is about flipping for a profit does that impact our ambitions and balancing the books in this league is our goal?

 

[Pentyrchjack]

Langstaff was an expensive disaster avoided. He was awful playing against us last season. Nothing at all on offer.
