People not understanding that the right striker will contribute a huge amount by bringing more goals out of the rest of the team and helping turn our massive possession into regular consistent goal threat, despite us playing 9 games already is genuinely mind blowing to me. The striker needs to contribute more than just goal threat, we've seen that with Stockley. He managed to provide a decent goal return under Jackson but now he's not well suited to what we're doing and that's to do with his physical attributes more than his finishing. We don't need someone with a history of 20 goals a season, we need someone with a bit of pace who can stretch the backline and push into the channels to provide space in front of goal for the inverted wingers we have
The funniest thing about Bonne signing is the fact that people will be left so confused - I mean your options are him and Stockley up top... Which one are you gonna whinge about.. decisions... decisions
Bonne not official yet, but I don't know what anyone realistically expects that would be much better than Bonne as a centre forward. He was a frustrating player when here last time, but also had his moments. It's clear the budget was never going to stretch to a real marquee, talismanic type signing. You'd all be better off to stop slagging off Chuks and start praying he gets fit asap and stays fit so he can contribute a significant number of goals off the bench.
Considered? FFS isn't it a bit late to be considering? Surely we should have had a list of targets lined up & should have been negotiating on the last day not considering. Why has it taken so long to decide to sign a striker? Oh yes prices come down apparently on the last day. bargains galore on the last day of the sales ! Great to see we learned the lessons from last year
Oi Mods ! someone's hacked my account & copied & pasted my thoughts from the past few years.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness you know golfie...
Imitation ? How fucking dare you. I've been supporting this club for 57 years & I've seen enough shite players & shite teams getting shite results to have become a miserable bastard without copying another miserable bast er gentleman. I can think for myself thanks......imitation my arse.
As I've said previously, I trust Ben Garner more than any other manager we've had for a long time. I'm not a fan of Bonne, but if Garner wants him, then I trust his ability to get the best out of him

Better option than the Millwall kid 😅
I'm aware that the chances of that being the case are practically nil, however'
This window will have slammed shut on our collective bollocks by 11pm tonight, methinks - certainly if past experience is anything to go by!
He's better than Washington.
Not really too upset about it if it does happen.
If we sign him over anyone else it puts a massive dampener on this window for me.
