I thought Bonne's replacement was Bogle or am I getting it confused here?
I would much rather have Bogle and Smyth than a disinterested Bonne.
Macca's success relies on him putting in 100%, chasing down lost causes and putting pressure on the back line. He had no interest in doing that in his last two weeks with us.
Interesting because he sounds like what Williams said that HE was - the player that sets up the player that puts the ball in the box for someone to score.
We just need that bloke in the middle popping up from 5 yards to tap it in. THATS WHAT WE HAVENT GOT
Bogle has not even played a single minute of football for us but apparently we don't have a striker who can score from 5 yards. You are my favourite parody account.

No, you're right. Everyone is crapping themselves for no good reason. Bring on Smyth
Sold Bonne for nearly 2 million and replace him with a free and a loan with a scoring record almost matched by Simon Church. On top of that we won’t pay a few hundred grand more for Sorba, who probably would have come in under the wage cap so that clearly isn’t the issue. I know we aren’t meant to be at all negative on here nowadays but I’m really not too inspired by that business. Oh well, in Bowyer and Gallen we trust.

Bogle was probably Taylor's replacement, big / strong and battler
What we still need really for Bowyer's setup is a Grant / Leko type striker

If we had told him he was staying until we got a replacement, and it didn't happen, he would have knuckled down and got on with it. That's how football works
A midfield five of Watson, Gilbey, Shinnie, Doughty, Maddison... pretty, pretty, pretty good.
I assume you're thinking that they will just pass the ball between them for 90 mins as there will be no-one in front of them to pass to........
I know you're being facetious but there are 18-20 clubs in this league who would love to swap their strikers for Conor Washington, Omar Bogle, Chuks Aneke (and Paul Smyth?).
Do we have the best striker options in the league? Probably not, I haven't properly reviewed the whole league. Is it good enough to get us out of this league if the rest of the team performs behind them? I think so.
But you can go on past performance as an indication Washington - never scored more than 13 in a L1 season Bogle - yet to be prolific higher than L2 Aneke - struggles to stay fit Smyth - not a striker, has hardly scored in his career
Players with proven records cost wages that we can't afford to give unfortunately.
Matty Taylor would've had the masses on here happy but he didn't want to sign before the embargo was lifted, according to Rich Cawley.
All four of the players listed have massive upside potential. They are all capable of scoring 15+ goals each with a run of form in this league. We only need one or two of them to work out the way we hope and they'll fire us up the table.
Smyth is underwhelming but he’ll do just fine. Lightning quick, good on the ball and has a low centre of gravity. He’ll stretch the defence and allow pockets of space for others to run in to.
Hopefully with a bit of work, he’ll add an end product.

Or we have a Dillon Phillips situation on our hands with a depreciating asset that won't play for us.

In Charlton life fashion.....if you were buying a house would you pay more than it’s value because it’s a house with potential.
Please read the following tweet and see if you can come up with an answer
The answer is Joe Piggott. 25 goals in 79 over the last three seasons in a struggling side, he will be in a better team, knows the place very well, wages not a problem, fee we must have surely.

Bonne had 2 years left on his contract
And Dillon hasn't refused to play for us, Bowyer has chosen not to play him

Not my job to know who's out there.
If you a can tell me where best to invest £100k I'll then come up with an answer to that tweet. Until then, I'll let Gallen source the players & I'll stick to advising clients.

Sign Smyth and I can't see us finishing outside the top 6
