Mentioned to my QPR supporting brother in law about Bonne and Kane and his response was ‘we should stay well clear, both bad characters’. So that’s good.
have to see how they do for us but both left QPR under a bit of a cloud.
Bonne was very good for us .. when Taylor went walk about Bonne stepped up in the championship and done excellent
Nearly correct but not quite Ronnie:
Most CL members have the memory of a goldfish and are damaged by events over the last... 1 year to 70 years depending on age.
Most had a one day truce against Man United even Oohaah who is like a tourettes victim on crack when it comes to levels of shitness: his own, our fans or our players !
In the Championship when "Lyle Taylor baby" got injured on international duty Bonne stepped up and scored a few goals and initially we had some wins. Chuks Aneke did his normal pitch to Medical room scenario.
After Covid-lockdown we had Taylor who didn't want to play and Bonne looked overweight and his agent was telling him he would get him a Championship move even if Charlton were relegated. (Took longer but he got a move) Despite not being sharp he still scored a couple of goals in the nightmare 9 game end of season when everyone connected with Cafc had a collective cry as we were so poor and useless, post lockdown.
Now since then Bonne has been totally hit and miss, (mainly miss) but for the experts on here if you can get double figures in the Championship then in League 1 IF you get fit mentally and physically you would assume you may still score a few in the mediocre 3rd tier as long as your legs haven't gone.
Difficult to judge but I wonder if Dean Holden could get a revival out of Macaulay Bonne now he has reached the grand old age of 27 !
We need 5 strikers/forwards including Leaburn and 18 year old Kanu so if you add Bonne, Blackett-Taylor and Rak Sakyi to that list then in League 1 you have variety and can mix and match.
I have supported both Jayden and Chuks but Stockley needs a Loan away and Aneke probably needs a session with a psychiatrist to give him belief in his body. Those of you ITK will understand the different health issues that Aneke has faced in his career.
After the Old Trafford love in where Charlton fans/critics/mates/family turned the clocks back it's back to reality and mid table League 1 because that is what we are. We can't afford to have a weaker team and squad when the window shuts.
Apparently Mcgrandles decision to leave Lincoln was based on his wish to move back to Scotland. This was greeted with understanding with most of the Lincoln fans. That understanding changed to dislike of the player when he then ended up at Charlton.
A dislike shared in SE7 having seen that this "Conor McGrandles" is a lucky punter who won his CAFC contract in some sort of raffle, never having previously played association football at any level
Oh no! Not Bonne please.. Everyone will go on about the goals he scored.. He should have had 25 goals, the amount of great chances he had. Still believe if he had put away a couple of those we would have stayed up, and might be a different story now!
But lets get realistic - unless we are paying to wages, this is the pond we are fishing in!
Bonne was good before Christmas in the championship. He fizzled out just like everyone else that season .
Wouldn't say he was good, scored a few miss hits, and a decent strike against Derby. Wouldn't say he was good.. More the fact he had some good players around him, putting them on a plate for him
Hello ! Taking up good positions is what it's all about for strikers. I remember BWP missing four one on ones in a game. Fortunately he had Yann to feed him so he had plenty of tap ins. You never know Bonne scores a few goals and then we can sell him for a million or two and he can revert to being overweight again and sluggish 👍
I swear a good striker fitness coach could revive his Career but unfortunately I'm not available as I can't afford the drop in wages.💁🏻♂️

If hes only got a contract until the end of the season we arent selling him for anything

Bonne is definitely also done. He's not awful, but he isn't going to pushing Leaburn for a starting berth which is what we all wanted to see from a new striker. Better option in this system than Stockley though imo.
Dean Holden will play both 4-3-3 and 3-5-2 in games and during games depending on players on the pitch and the opposition. IF Bonne is deal done, as you say then at times both Leaburn and Bonne will be the two up front in a 3-5-2.
You heard it hear first.
Edun better be done as the Left footed left back is so long overdue.
Looking at the goals he scored for Ipswich last season, there was some cracking goals there.
For whatever reason Stockley looks finished. He is only a shadow of the player we had last season, and Chuks career is so injury prone, that I can see him being retired off in the not too distant future.
Bonne is an improvement on both Stockley and Aneke. At the very least he will score more than the 2 goals that Stockley has scored this season.

So welcome aboard Macaulay.
I think he'll be an upgrade on Stockley. Supposedly his form tailed off last season because of personal issues.
I have to admit one thing about Bonne (being positive). I did use to enjoy his funny swipe-type finishes from the left with his left foot. Think the luck has been used now and can see each one going a bit Corey Curbs Blackett Tyler.
It's not much of a compliment to Bonne to say he'll be an upgrade on Stockley. Jayden has been so bad this season that I struggle to think of a League One striker who wouldn't be an upgrade. Even if Marquis was coming in, we could say he'd be an upgrade on Stockley.
Just a suggestion if Bonne signs maybe we could try getting behind him rather than the relentless negativity. I don't understand the attitude of some of our 'fans'.
I still say the biggest whingers rarely go. It's so tiring being surrounded by so many negative people.
Lots of negativity about Bonne, based on what regarding us, last played for us Oct 2020, so until we see where he is as of now, what's the point on dismissing him on performances of over two years ago, personally I will reserve judgement until he has actually played for us this season...🤷♂️

100%, when Bonne signs there will be at best a divided reaction online. But on Saturday I bet everyone will be singing his name. Online and Twitter especially is never a great indicator of general opinion
He’s scored a hell of a lot more championship goals than Stockley that’s for sure.
And probably more than most league one strikers have
Well he's scored 3 Champ goals in his last 44 appearances. But I'm not sure the goals he scored a few years ago are much help to us now anyway. Much like how Stockley's 15 last season aren't really helping us either.
Bonne is potentially a good signing and we need to see how it goes. We clearly haven't got shedloads of cash so probably the sort of signing we should be making.
As long as Boone apologies for the sake of all the Charlton fans who are so precious that any criticism of our fine club leads them to irrational anger and hatred.

Macclesfield loan out Tom Clare to Love Island, done deal.
And probably more than most league one strikers have
More, sure, but not by much.
Till then the bloke can go fuck himself.
