Bear in mind that IF (and a big if) we sell Kone, we'll either need to sign another U-21 player OR sell / release another player so that we can register his replacement as we are maxed out on our League 1 registration.

This could end up being a massive headache for the club

Again: we tried to extend Morley's loan. But anything to get the Dan Rice digs in, eh?

Kone is not currently streets ahead of Udoh. Does he have the potential to be, yes, absolutely. But we all know potential is not always realised for one reason or another. I'd be astounded if Wyc don't accept the silly money which has reportedly been offered by Luton with a significant sell on clause.

Quality player. According to football manager 24 though (!) he requires a work permit or one of our slots (forget the name). Or perhaps he now qualifies?

Sadly James from the BFP has stated he is staying.

Based on his recent record he’s already in Bedfordshire. 😉

Selling Kone wouldn't mean signing Morley. The money is there for Morley, but Data Dan doesn't want him

If Kone was to go (god forbid) then I'd be going all in on Alasanna Jatta from Notts County. 20 goals in 34 games for Notts County, and played with Magnus Westergaard at Viborg.

To be clear though, I think losing Kone would be more disruptive to our season than any of the other losses so far (Morley, Taylor, Bloomfield)

Understand your point but Kone is 100% replaceable. Far from the finished article (aware of how high his ceiling 'could' be). We're talking about 6m. Say it out loud. 6m!

Totally disagree, I’m afraid.

Richard Kone is already streets ahead of Dan Udoh. His hold up play, positional sense, strength on the ball and distribution are all superior, never mind the eye for goal.

The prospect of Luton being able to acquire him, see him scoring goals for fun and ultimately making a nice profit when he moves on doesn’t bear thinking about.
