Personally @Malone I expect that his ‘taste’ so to speak was just to be involved in a football league matchday squad environment, I’m sure we will all have a better understanding of the type of player he is after the pizza cup game when no doubt he will get some minutes by starting or coming on as a sub.
"On Monday, when Kone’s signing was announced, the player posed for photos on the Adams Park pitch. With him — as confirmed by Wycombe and Adedoyin — were his girlfriend and young daughter."
As I said earlier in the thread, sexuality is fluid at that age and he hasn't yet publicly spoken about it himself, but I guess for the moment at least that ends that chapter of his story.
Seems a strange thing to say from his agent? Why would he say as confirmed by Wycombe? When I don't think Wycombe have made any reference to who his family were? Beyond being family?
I have actually given thought to this. If you are an artist with just one hit, where in the set do you place it? Early, and everyone goes home. Late, and everyone gets impatient. Maybe in the middle?
Come on @TheAndyGrahamFanClub The Gasroom was facing relegation under a disastrous manager two weeks ago...give us at least a couple of days of looking up the table.

The KKK has a good ring to it. Not sure if our Trump supporting owner from the Deep South would ban us or let us sit next to him at the game.
Anyway, back on topic. KONE.
A marginally less sinister idea could be selling some giant cone heads, as per the 90s film starring Dan Ackroyd.
We haven't had a decent player related merch offering since the Sergio wigs.
(Yes we have to ignore it's Kone not Cone, and probably Ko-nay, not Kone as a pronunciation, but it's probably better than Rui's KKK idea)
I think we can take Devo's 1981 look and sell it as Matt Bloomfield wigs.

I think he should start in the Pizza Cup, as we need to get minutes in his legs and get a low-risk look at what we have.
I quite like Devo even though they are an XTC tribute band .
Harsh. ‘Are we not men’ and ‘White music’ both debuted in ‘78 and Akron Ohio and Swindon Wilts were a long way apart back then.
I hear Joe Jacobson is a big DEVO fan. He loves to whip it in.
Long article here, Kone's agent quoted saying that there was recent interest by both West Ham and Fulham.

Thought you were meaning the spoof character on YouTube for a second before realising that's Devvo.
Interesting titbit from his agent:

I think the Human League - Don't you want me would work but I'm a bit shit at this...
Something along the lines of:
He was wandering homeless in the Cote D'Ivoire
That much is true
He scored a load for Athletic Newham
Now he's with someone new
We've got Richard Kone
Richard Kone, oh oh oh
We've got Richard Kone
Richard Kone, oh oh oh
I'll get my coat...
Andrew Lloyd Webber has this sorted:
Richard Kone,
Superstar,
Scores when he wants, he's from Côte D'Ivoire
In case you missed it on an earlier thread …..
”He is the one and only
No one I’d rather see
He is our Richard Kone
Watch him score two or even three”
To the tune of the one hit wonder hit by Chesney Hawkes
Did you know Chesney Hawkes has a "Very best of..." album?
🎵Kone, Kone, Kone, Kone, XG's Up Up Up!🎵
(to the tune of Ole Ole, Ole Ole feeling hot hot hot)
Imagine if you went to see him and he opened with The One and Only?
Time to wind down the Kone Mania now. It’s got a bit out of hand now. He’s not the messiah he’s a very promising prospect

Having just gotten a Kone tattoo similar to the above, I'm in no mood to calm down.
I got his name tattooed across my knuckles, although "RICHARD" was too long so I had to use the short form.
Rich? Rick? Riki? 😉
To ABBA’s Money, Money, Money…
Kone, Kone, Kone,
Better than Toney
From the Cote D’Ivoire
I love this one
Don't worry, there's always next year for West Ham
