Also worth pointing out that Kone is currently outscoring a £15M striker in the same division. Appreciate that Stansfield has a few Championship goals to his name, but are we really accepting that his worth is considerably less than half that of Stansfield?

Not sure why people are shocked by the fee. Luton will have a large pot of money for transfers and he’s their no.1 target. Do some of you not attend games? Kone’s movement off the ball and his physical presence and predatory skills will cope fine in a league up!!

Carsley would be an unbelievable appointment.

The last manager of the England full international men's team at Wycombe Wanderers. Just imagine!

The U21 squad he coached played some great football.

Exactly this.

I haven’t quite arrived in the brave new world where we can turn down six million British pounds for a player. But maybe I’ll get there soon.

I think we *should* keep him, but I also worry that these bids are getting closer to a price the club can't refuse. £6 million is a huge amount of money for any League 1 club, turn that down, and the bids might get bigger. I'm getting worried.

So do I, I wouldn't sell for 6 million, someone will still pay that at the end of the season even if we don't go up, if we do it should be 10 Mill at least.

Also, I just think he can do better than Luton, if he goes there and doesn't score for a few games they will turn on him, whereas we wouldn't

Altho Richard would do well to consider AAH’s time at Ipswich.

I was being a bit ridiculous with 10m - when you consider potential add-ons, there's mad money to be made still

Could be a variety of reasons why we didn't meet the asking price for Morely, most likely being they decided finally they wanted to use him and were taking the piss on price. If that's the case, or even if he doesn't meet some secret criteria we won't suddenly pay £2.5m for him even if we got 6 for Kone, and we'd still need a striker and possibly to pay off someone else to make space. Now Evatt is gone and Morely is reintegrated that all seems like it went ages ago. Things do change though.

Very difficult to judge a fair fee for Kone so like most people I think we should just keep him until the summer. Ending the division as top scorer and celebrating promotion wouldn't do his prospects or valuation any harm and the need isn't what it was in recent years.

I like Dan Udoh, he's got a great first touch and links up well, I don't see him as a prolific front man though and suspect the fan base would be apoplectic if we sold Kone and took a chance on not replacing him.
