Richard Kone: Will Swansea City Finally Land Their Man As Wycombe Talks Progress

Well, Jacks, it’s August 1st, and the rumour mill is in absolute overdrive! All eyes are firmly fixed on our potential pursuit of Wycombe Wanderers' highly-ra

As you said, Phil, not a done deal yet, but hopefully will be finalised later today. If signed it will be a significant feather in the cap for Richard Montague. A real striker at last. Keeping everything crossed!

This doesn't sound promising. Could easily be agent manoeuvres though.

We won’t compete with Leicester and Ipswich

Almost certainly the club itself rather than his agent
They will lose him for nothing next summer, it is entirely in their interests to spark a bidding war

This transfer is more open than the previous one so suggests we are not in full control of this and likely to not finalise unless an agreement is always in place prior to the top clubs coming in.

Apparently Leicester are under embargo (hence point deduction) so how are they in race?

 

[jrthejack]

There's always far more to the negotiation process than the press stories reveal. But I really hope we land this one; Kone seems such an ideal fit

the longer this goes on the less chance he comes here

Vital saying to move on from Kone

This being in the public domain 100% will be Wycombe themselves.

Its a tried and true transfer strategy, they want maximum return on the player they brought in two years ago before they lose him for nothing next summer so they leak the interest to journalists. It alerts other interested parties and will either invite a bidding war or put pressure on the Swans to offer a more favourable price and/or structure of any incentives.

Thankfully the people at the club in charge of transfers are likely to be less hysterical about these things than us fans.

Maybe the striker we should be looking for is already at the Liberty?

Dangerous game Wycombe is playing. If believed that they tuned down a bigger offer from other clubs in January they now risk asking too much and will lose a lot if not sold this summer. Take the 4.5 and be happy, it's your biggest fee you have had in a while. Don't get greedy

Wonder if Kone as made it clear that he wants out?
Having only 12 months left on your contract changes thinks aswell.
