Bonne is a finisher, he may be a bit erratic but if he's in the right place at the right time, he will score. This is exactly the type of finisher we need, with the wingers doing the hard work and slotting into the box for.someone to finish. I wouldn't be against Bonne coming back. Is he my first second or third choice for a new signing, no. But I guarantee he will score goals in our new system. Different style of play to what we had when he was here before
He had a worse return per shot than JS last season, I just don't get this "Bonne is a finisher" mantra. It can only be that his finishing is his best attribute, which says more about his all round game than his finishing.
Whilst not my first choice (or second, third…) I would take Bonne over nothing, especially if Garner thinks he’ll fit the system which Stockley plainly doesn’t.
Thats just it... By the sound of things we've got a couple of names we're looking at - Worst thing we can do is put all our efforts into signing one player, and ending up with no one if that falls through.
No. The worse thing we have done is leave it till today. We have had 3 months to sign a striker and should have done so earlier.
Amazing how some will never take Bonne back because of the QPR comments and missing a few chances for us, but would take Lyle Taylor back in a heartbeat because he is better - Jesus
Would Bonne be my 1st choice? No. Would I have him over the world class Stockton who only has Port Valle and Fleetwood in for him? Probably.
& most importantly, if it’s who Ben Garner wants then that’s even more fine with me.
So a number of Club's are in for Bonne. I guess they must be as desperate as we are then!😂
We want a striker/forward/someone to play in an advanced position, preferably above ground and not in the hole, a true rather than false no 9, but we don't want a former player who's scored goals for us in the past and is of interest to our current manager, who believes he would suit his style of play and in whom, for the moment, I trust.
As @RedJohn said, if BG thinks he can do what he wants, that's fine by me too.
I very much doubt that Bonne is Garners 1st choice. Or his 2nd, or 3rd. If I'm honest.
I'm long since past thinking we're still looking at options high up on the list @blackpool72. It's any port in a storm time for me
on the subject of "Sign a striker!.... no not that one lolz" as funny as it is, thats not what people were really saying is it... well other than other than Golfie
"sign a striker! that fits the system and can finish better than Stockley"
Didn’t Bonne and his mrs both slag us off when he left? That on top of the fact 95% of fans think he’s a waste of space. Can’t see it happening personally.

Wait are we the only side getting business done today?
If only our owners had the same sort of experience of working in Football as the majority of our fans... Oh wait

I wonder if the MacGillivray to Dundee rumour has anything to do with the suggestion that we were interested in Ryan Edwards the left footed centre back. He was in the defence that conceded 9 last week.

Oh come on. Most of the top sides in league one have strengthened this window. I know we have to a certain degree. We are better balanced as a squad than we were last season. I'm just saying we should not have left it until today to replace Washington.
We few, we happy few, we band of siblings. For they to-day that reads with with me Shall be my sibling, be they ITK or nay. This day shall gentle their condition; And Addicks in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their fanhood cheap whiles any speaks That read this thread with us upon transfer window day.
Five tankards of your finest frothy ale landlord and fresh horses for the men. We ride to London tonight!

Let’s see how many of the top sides in league one bring in players today, to see if we are the outlier. I expect we won’t be.
I havent had an update from my source since yesterday, but if the above is correct that would suggest we have missed out on the permanent forward I was told about.
Personally I think Bonne would be a very poor signing. He works hard and will press well but his interplay and first touch are shocking.
Or is Bonne in addition to the permanent forward, just in case we manage to offload all of the unwanted?
