Wycombe forward Kone becomes QPR’s statement summer addition - Signing 13th Aug 2025 14:12
QPR have made a bold play at solving their long-standing striker issues, sticking a £2.75m bet on Wycombe’s Ivorian forward Richard Kone to lead their line. 1

Behind every moment of inspiration lies days of preparation. Submitted 4 minutes after the official announcement. Good work, young man!

Indeed Patrick, indeed!

After years of the TV camera folk moving their apparatuses slowly to capture the play, one hopes with they'll be able to keep up with the new breed of speedsters CN (credit where due) has assembled.

I may have missed it on this board so apologies if repeating but the Wycombe fans are claiming the sell on clause is 22.5%.

I hope Athletic Newham also had a sell on clause.

More strikers? What is this witchery. I thought they were banned.

Seriously, well done the club. The porject seems to appeal to some people (even if it doesnt to our pwn fans). Kone and/or Burrell with Frey to come on with 20 to 30 mins to go to beat up the tired defenders seem a decent tplan in theory.

Wholst not as down as many on Celar's performance on Saturday, this dies feel like an upgrade. I wouldnt be surprised to see Clear sold or loaned now.

Why stop now, just when I'm hating it

On paper, two young, hungry strikers.

Liking the look of them.

Still a couple more signings required, LB and CM but happy so far.

True and then you have a Ba situation and it goes in the bin. It's not all plain sailing.

Nice to see the lad at our club.
He'll enjoy it here, only league games to work on, as the cups are a day off for most, if not all, first teamers.

Great news - thanks for the analysis and background, Greg and Clive.

Looking forward to seeing him in action.

Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?

I think the key point, as Clive you pointed out, is his fast rise up the levels in such a short space of time. Lets give him time to adjust to the championship. Even Les went out on loan at first.

Technology advances, unfortunately humans do not.

Any thoughts on where the money for this is coming from? So we sold Kelman and have used the money to buy two new strikers, but we havent banked any money this summer, have we? Is that an issue?

I know nothing about this guy apart from what I've read on here in recent days. Never seen him play, have no opinion on him. That said, I like that a few people whose opinions I respect are excited about this signing. Yay! Well done Rangers.

Excited about this. My oldest friend is a Wycombe ST holder and was raving about him. Plus I love players who step up levels and excel. Some players have a ceiling, other players find their own. Feel this guy could be one of the latter

Ironic but fully anticipated smirk at the timing of the announcement to deflect from the contentious issue surrounding us “throwing” our cup game last night. More to come from Clive on that one no doubt.

Still, let’s be honest, a team with Kone, Burrell, Poku, Dembele and Chair leading the line.

I’m seriously up for some of that, despite the obvious deficiencies behind them.

Get them fit, but more importantly, keep them fit and we’re rocking.

Top signing, but come on, which is it? Money or the selling job?
I'm going selling job as we can't compete financially.

It's been a long long time since I've been excited about us signing a striker but this feels very very good.

Poll: Will we stay up?

Good news undoubtedly. Well done all. Could be cynical about timings following last night's events, but what's the point? This is all good. There is hope.

If not already mentioned, is he in time to play against Watford on Sat?

A really positive signing in his own right, but I also think he'll make the forwards around him better.

Burrell, Frey, Celar, Kolli can all benefit from having him in there.

Well if Saito is coming back as well then I think there's probably a discussion to be had about Kolli.

He needed to get a pre-season into himself, he hasn't done that.
He needs to get 30 games into himself this year, that's not going to happen here with those two signings.
Once again last night, clearly unfit. Spent more time in the second half doing hamstring stretches than he did upright.
Kone first striker, Burrell second, Frey third, you'd assume Celar is going, is this an opportunity to get a half season loan into Rayan?

I think with Kone in (and hopefully Saito in the way) it's definitely time. A loan at a League 1 side would do him a lot of good.

Looks an exciting signing who could slot nicely into our front 4 and the way we play.

As for the timing, come on that’s mostly cynicism. The man was in the building yesterday and by all accounts signed last night. The deal weeks in the making, so trying to connect the two feels like a stretch.

(Doesn’t take away from the silly decision last night though. Like Cook, Adamson, Smyth etc. could not have managed 45 mins without exploding.. but fine to likely make the bench on Sat)
