Who has the bigger need, who blinks first. We have players we need to bring in and don't seem to be doing that til we sell. If Hermansen goes for a tidy wedge and we haven't lost as much as we think for relegation then maybe we can afford to turn down money for BEK. Risky, though, given he pulled a Fofana to get his move to Leicester. Imagine he'd do it here too.
Groby_Blue Posted 2 August 2025 Posted 2 August 2025 I think it all boils down to whether Marti rates him or not. Doubt we'll be signing anyone that hasn't been approved by the manager. If he's good enough for Marti, he'll do for me. I realise that I'm pinning a lot on this manager but I really do rate him. Hope it doesn't come back to bite me on the arse.

Imagine he'd do it here too. if he was going to do that you'd think it would already be under way, he's shown no signs of being disgruntled in pre season so far, its not like players in the Championship don't earn big money moves either, look at Jobe Bellingham for example, he'd be as well having a starring role here as going to another relegation scrap

Yeah good point , when I say Broke I mean having money to spend on players. The wage bill is still bloated and we could fail PSR again if we start shelling out for players without selling a few big wage players. Kone looks like a great signing but I don’t see how we can until we sell. lots of people seem to think we’ve sold Bilal and Mads because they see a click bait article , it looks a long way off to me. Hope I’m wrong though. 1
fox_favourite Posted 2 August 2025 Posted 2 August 2025 If a half decent foreign club comes in for him, I think he'll head there for a different experience. Be interesting who the other bids are from, I would be surprised if one wasn't us. But we don't handle transfers well, so don't get your hopes up peeps.

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 3 August 2025 Posted 3 August 2025 This rumour does scream us all getting excited about a player who’s lazily been linked because we need a striker. 2 1
dayday Posted 3 August 2025 Posted 3 August 2025 Where’s Secret Pro these days I’m sure he would know if we’re interested 1 3

The first talk of a bid came from their page though. Posters on here had suggested him but the likes of O’Rouke only named us after a Wycombe page on X had said we’d made a bid. 1

mozartfox Posted 3 August 2025 Posted 3 August 2025 I would imagine if we really want him, we would pay what Wycome want? For sure Mads and BEK will depart and Barce are lining up a move for Faes. Give them a loan signing may be to sweeten the deal? In Rudders we trust. 2
winteriscoming Posted 3 August 2025 Posted 3 August 2025 Really hope we get him. Exactly the sort of signing we used to make. Young player who has potential to get better at this level. 4

He seems a bit more ruthless than Heskey. More willing to grab the opportunity than Emile did. If anything, Heskey was too selfless at times. 1

1972 Fox Posted 3 August 2025 Posted 3 August 2025 The Kone link is fake news, we're actually trying to bring in Roy Essandoh to partner Daka or Ayew up front. 1
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 3 August 2025 Posted 3 August 2025 Please get him. I can't watch 46 games of Daka. 1

Can’t see a pathway for Alves at the moment, especially if bilal stays. Wycombe would be a great move for him tbf
