That Franco comment is very harsh. Bonne can hold up the ball and lay it off. He does try pretty hard and first time around with us scored some decent goals, which led to his QPR deal. Unfortunately he also missed some sitters in the Championship. He will score goals in Division 2 because he will get a bit more space and time. If he plays regularly for the Gills I think he'll score about 14/15 goals. We'll see.
If we are going to be fair, he didn't do too shabbily during his loan spell at Ipswich ......12 goals, was it, in half a season?
@mendonca@JaShea99@ross1@paulsturgess your wish is my command... eventually. A faster response can be achieved by tagging me (or one of the other mods, but I'm probably the most nitpicky about thread titles) in the thread concerned, as the volume of traffic on the site means we may not see it otherwise.
Thanks and good point! We can't expect you to scan each post seeking a thread title change. Thanks for doing so. Seeing Bonne and Charlton in the same sentence does not kickstart a pretty day.

Yes, the first half. How many did he get for them in the second half of that season, was it 2?

Yep, 10 goals in his first 13 matches, eh? Impressive.
Couldn't have happened by accident though. Ipswich set up to make the most out of his limitations and the goals flowed.
Soon after Ipswich lost their way with key player injuries and loss of form, results were poor and the manager was sacked before Christmas. The new manager set up the team differently, signed new players and sold Scott Fraser to Charlton; many of Bonne's appearances after that were from the bench - just 2 goals.
Statistics tell you only one thing; context tells you the whole story.
BTW I'm no big MacCauley Bonne fan, but try not to be as jaundiced as some.
He is a dreadful footballer. Bringing him back to Charlton last season was a woefully inept decision. He is not even likable. Poor touch, poor vision, misses sitters, can't pass. Just a terrible footballer
