Samwam27 517 Posted January 13, 2016 Anyone know if we are still after him (if indeed we ever were)?Is he good enough to help strengthen our defense? AT quoted £5m, if he''s decent, seems a bargain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted January 13, 2016 Wasn''t he signing for Sunderland? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 929 Posted January 13, 2016 Got a feeling AN said no. Anyway, probably off to Sunderland but Villa have also made a bid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted January 13, 2016 I think they''re going after him again after his club moaned about Sunderland not signing him up. Perhaps they threatened to sue Allardyce? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 490 Posted January 13, 2016 After the move to Sunderland broke down following discussions with the player new negotiations are taking place between the clubs.Who knows if we were interested? If we were we didn''t convince L''Orient or the player and his agent to do a deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted January 13, 2016 If we bid and he chose to speak to Sunderland over us then I''d imagine AN and McNally have firmly closed the door on this one. Plus if his move broke down over personal terms I doubt we''d offer better than Sunderland or Villa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 517 Posted January 14, 2016 McNally will look a fool if they fail to lure anyone else (decent or not) here during the window, if they chose to close the door on a deal.But then if a player doesn''t want to come, you move on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted January 14, 2016 If he doesn''t chose us first then he doesn''t really want to be with us. Offer withdrawn in my eyes. We must have other targets, that''s if Kone was even one to begin with of course! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,070 Posted January 14, 2016 you could flip that round to the player thinking Norwich were not that interested as they closed the door after we spoke to sunderland time to forget all this hardman tactics if kone would improve our team we should go get him from under sunderlands noses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryOne 0 Posted January 14, 2016 Pretty sure Paddy Davitt said Alex Neil had ruled this one out a week or so ago . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
