I really hope Bonne isn’t coming back, like others, if he was the only striker that would be a huge let down, for me. Perhaps, if he was one and a n other and only a contract to the summer, then that may be acceptable.
I know Stockley is this years scapegoat and whipping boy but as said beforehe can scorebut as others have said before Garner was sacked the system didn’t suit his style. Maybe Holden will try and adapt to his strengths and if he could get back to last years form, then I'm sure he and Leaburn could do the trick.
That implies that he's receiving unfair criticism, and I don't think he is. Two goals in 24 league matches and various cup games is an awful return, and it's not like he's been testing keepers, or hitting the woodwork regularly. A one in three striker in his place might have transformed our season, although I accept with the team playing poorly he would have had his work cut out. But you'd expect a much better return that two goals.
If we do sign Bonne it wouldn't be the end of the world imho, and it'd be an indication of our current status as a club. You'd hope we could sign better, but would better be willing to join us right now?
I think Stockley has shown that he is a more than decent League One striker. Nobody can argue this based on previous seasons. It is obvious he has lost confidence and part of that comes from the team playing a system he is not comfortable with. It may be best for him to leave but only if he is replaced first.

No one can convince me otherwise that he's still got an ongoing injury. He can barely sprint or jump with any power. He was never fast but he was 100% quicker than he is now

I haven’t seen him play other than snippets so can’t really comment, just basing it on last season and when he came in the season before. I don’t think a forward being captain works unless you’re Alan Shearer, so, that might have been impacting his game? If being stripped of the captaincy has caused him to throw his toys out of the pram, if he has, is not good.
But you fail to acknowledge, others commenting that the system we’ve employed thus far doesn’t suit his game?
If Holden adapts and try’s playing to his strengths then it might, he scored 20 last season and wasn’t he out injured for a few months, I’d say that’s a good return?
if we do resign Bonne, it might not be the end of the 🌎 but could be very close.
I half wondered if this might happen with Aneke. He is never going to be fit enough to rely on.
Why would he or we do that? It isn't in his interests to leave us as we play him whenever we can so we would have to pay up his full contract and that doesn't help us out all. Bonne is simply leaving to go and find first team football elsewhere.
Aneke is a waste of wages and a squad place. At least by paying him off, you free up a spot.

Can't argue with the waste of wages but really don't think we have to worry about a squad place, especially with JFC now gone.
Butland to Utd kind of makes sense after sending Dubravka back to Newcastle. Butland helps the homegrown player rule too. I guess its why most premier league sides 3rd choice goalie is usually English or played 3 years in England before turning 21. Carson, Elliott, Green, Wright to name a few

I can't see homegrown being an issue for Utd, they've got plenty of English players.
