Cheers for tuning in and I shall catch up with you in the comments so feel free to drop your thoughts on the players we're linked to – Kone especially!!

Tbf your very good at what you do geo, you never over extend things to get views you keep it authentic and get the topics through your work so I think you should be proud of yourself and the content that you do
£12m for Downes is ridiculous fee. If he was a Southampton player who’s had a huge influence in their promotion and we wanted to buy him, Southampton would be asking £20-25m all day long for him as he’s a crucial player for them 🤷♂️
I think it was Russ over at WHN that said he was pretty sure there had been something of a gentleman's handshake between clubs prior to Flynn's loan to Southampton about a transfer fee. That might explain the fee.
As a Canadian WHU supporter, I must say that Kone would be a great signing for us. I followed him at CF Montreal and he has massively improved since he has been in England. Also, I don't think we have seen all that he is capable of yet; I think that he still has a lot of potential yet. He played really well against Argentina and he was the best Canadian player on the pitch for the draw against France a couple weeks ago.
Jonathan David is a player that I have been wishing for WHU, I think that his style would be perfect for WHU. He is such a great player and thinking of him playing with the likes of Bowen, Kudus, etc. he would be an amazing addition for us.
Getting both of them would be a dream for me, good business and I don't think that they will break the bank. Excited by these rumours!!
Kone has played 40 odd matches for WFC this season. I've seen over half of these. He has grown into the Watford team, better going forward than defensively, and can get bullied a little by some of the more physical sides in the championship. He was nowhere near winning the player of the season award at Watford and fans would not pick him out as one of The Horns top 2/3 players, unlike Downes at Southampton. My view is he needs another season at Watford and track his progression. I'm not sure we don't have better options in our own U21's. Hope that helps Geo.
Well done hungry
Could we loan Downes for another season to see how he shapes up with regular Prem minutes?
Fatherland
David is a sure-fire 20 goal scorer; think stronger, faster, more accurate Antonio.
Kone is a work in progress. Has high end potential but wouldn’t start over anyone we have right now.
You making up your ear hair for click bait the level some people stoop too is unbelievable
Would absolutely love Jonathan David up top, my first choice out of all strikers linked
Selling Downes for Kone, utter madness.
The Ben Johnson situation is sad not because I think we're losing out on a good player, but we are losing out on the ability to sell him.
I think Ex mentioned on his free podcast that it’s rumored to be around 18M for Kona
Kone’s great on FM 🤷🏻♂️
Are they the american or french kind ? 😅😊
it will be a mistake on west hams part if johnson is let go he is a solid rb and a position we go do without buying a nother player to replace him same old retarded west ham
Forget Kilman, forget Foderingham – both crap players. Get Calafiori and use Anang from the reserves. Cmon West Ham sort this out!
If we are truely skint then went are we letting Johnson go – I really hoped we'd of convinced him to stay, sad times 😥
Agree the £12m fee for Downes is low, but think it's a gentlemen's agreement from last season like others have said… Another sad loss 😥
Kilman is a waste of money if paying anything more than £20m.
Go and get the Italian no.15 and be done with it. If there’s money to be spent if Aguerd is pushed out or not, get Nunez too. With Zouma what he is, Ogbonna gone, Mavropanos a flight risk, Aguerd wanting out, we need two centre backs at least.
Hopefully Downes goes, never warmed to him& the quotes he made about wanting to stay at Southampton. Southampton are taking the piss if offering £12m.
As for Johnson, I hope you are right. Johnson has been delaying the whole situation for ages! Yes while that scumbag moyes was there I understand he would want to go but why is still so adamant not to sign?! Get him out. Anyone not fully vested,out!
Hopefully, Soucek and JWP have suitors too.
Kona would be worth between 6-10million mate
Spent £10 on match bingo, did all the free games too – won nothing. Had £1 left and played it on cricket which I know nothing about.
Got £50
He Looks like a premier league player. Was one of the best players on the pitch vs Argentina
Lille wiil have to sell
Kone and cornet in the team , who next Rossi? Hagen das? I bet there are hundred and thousands out there lol
They are not Canadians, they are Africans
Click-baiter!!! 😀
Just read Ben Johnson is in advanced talks with Ipswich! That would be a really poor showing by us if we let him slip through our fingers
Feel the buzz! 😂
What a coincidence.. J.David scored the only goal in the Canada vs Peru game! Lets sign him asap ! Good young player!
Rumour has it that there is some North American investment firm interested in purchasing shares in the club. Apparantly a Canadian Soverign Wealth fund are looking into securing a stake before the 2026 World Cup. is it a coincidence that we're being linked for Canadian players and players from the MLS? maybe… or maybe not!
Just want to pick up on one thing. You said the Flynn Downes deal didn’t work out for us. I’m inclined to disagree. I think it could prove to have worked very well. He probably wasn’t ready for first team football when he arrived but the loan to Southampton has shown that he is a player who could fit nicely into our first team set up. I would be very much against selling him and agree entirely with your comment that £12 million is too little.
