All right lids, this came to me in the middle of the night. What about a song based on Mony Mony by Billy Idol but with the chorus Aroune Kone? Imagine that rocking the Gladys!

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah- Aroune Kone! Aroune Kone! Etc

Would love to hear it next time he slots one!

Can the media please chillax about Kone? I'm made up he's showing green shoots of recovery but it's only one game, FFS. Let's see if his form sustains itself through the season before starting Aguero comparisons.

Is the turn around in the fans perception of Kone the biggest in Everton history? I can't think of many others

Martin Keown won us over, after a dreadful start !!

5 goals already is better than most people hoped i think, if he can get 10 in the premier league that would be a pretty good return

I don't think he was ever thought of as bad as Kone, but he did end up proving a lot more than Kone.... So far

Barry Horne also, even though he scored on his debut, the crowd weren't impressed with the signing, but he turned out a steal Really !

Think he's had a good season to be fair. A lot of us, including myself, were crying out for his inclusion after he was dropped for a few games.

Still can't get over how crap he was in pre-season and then was immediately good when coming on against Watford in the first prem game. Baffling but brilliant.

Considering I said he was worse than Brett Angel in May, maybe.

In my defence, he had a worse record at that point.

i don't get the shaming of people who said he was crap, because for more of his everton career, he's been more crap than good.

He was literally one of the worst strikers i've seen for Everton at a lot of points, but people are allowed to judge him on those performances because they are the ones he offered up.

Right now he's made him self useful at points this season, and the hat trick was fantastic all round performances, but he'll need a few more of those type of performances (not expecting hat tricks every week, but hopefully 10-13 goals this season) to think he's been a decent signing overall.
