Leaburn aside... seriously?charltonman2016 said:What is our obsession with signing ex players. Don't want someone who is offside every 2 mins. Don't see how he improves our attacking line
Yes it's a damning indictment of our current situation but he's better than what we have already and is more than capable of being a piece in a promotion chasing squad.
Wouldn't want him to be first choice going into August 2023 but we need to focus on January 2023 first.3 -

That's not so bad.cafcfan1990 said:
35 starts I believe, so he's a 1 in 3 manStrikerFirmani said:
In how many games at Ipswich?Callumcafc said:I would be ok with bringing him back tbh.
14 goals at Championship level, 12 last season for Ipswich.
At this stage, he'd be an upgrade on what we have from both a production (Stockley) and availability (Aneke) standpoint.0 -
He's a better option than both Stockley and Aneke, and wouldn't be the most exciting signing but I'd take Bonne back. He definitely improves us.5

Our scouts working wonders again.
Are they allowed to go out and watch other teams play? Or are they stuck watching archive footage from our own games?15 -
Bonne’s obviously had a couple incidents on social media, but I’ve never understood the hate around his ability. He got 10 goals in a struggling championship season, stepping up from non league and QPR shoved a £2m bid in front of our faces.wmcf123 said:Bonne is better than Stockley . Would take him as a bench option on a short term contract .
It’s especially bizarre given the odd fascination many of us have had for the ability of Mansfield, Gilbey, Stockley, the cheat code, Morgan and so many other crap players in the last few years. Players that have failed miserably in League One get some sort “if they just had better players alongside them, they’d be really good”
I don’t think he’s the right option, but given some of the deluded appreciation the likes of the above get, it blows my mind7 -
Bonne is a dreadful footballer who got a lucky move (fair play to him but lightning striking twice and all that!). I also suspect that under all the circumstances he’d want to be here about as much as the vast majority of fans would want him. Avoid!!!!!!3

I'm presuming you don't watch us very often?charltonman2016 said:What is our obsession with signing ex players. Don't want someone who is offside every 2 mins. Don't see how he improves our attacking line3 -
To be honest mate, I have one leg and need lots of walking aids and I still fancy myself to do better that Stockley or Chuks this season. 🤣Billericaydickie said:If you decide to shop in Poundland you are limited to what you can get.
Bonne, although not ideal, is definitely an improvement on both Chuks and Stockley
Let us be honest anyone who can walk unaided is an improvement on Chuks, and Stockley with 1 goal from open play is hardly setting the world alight.0 -
Thought missing out on Bonne in the summer was "would have been better than nothing" so, meh, if we get him I wont mind, as better than:
1. Stockley
2. Cheat Code not being available
3. Stockley
4. Ruining Kanu
5. Stockley
Finally finishing off those deals from the summer that MS was telling everyone about then

Well isn't that the point of this window?ShootersHillGuru said:We had QPR’s pants around their ankles when they took Bonne off our hands. Couldn’t get into their team back then and then had a loan at Ipswich who didn’t want him either. Might improve us slightly from a very low starting point but if Bonne is the total of our ambition we ain’t going anywhere.
I don't think it's realistic to start "the rebuild" now. A couple of Bonne and Ferguson type players that are out of contract in the summer anyway on short term deals and a couple of well chosen Premier League likely lads will be enough to keep us comfortably up.
As unpalatable as it maybe staying in this division is our number one priority and I never thought I would say that.5 -
Amazed that 12 goals in 43 League One matches is considered a good return. How far we've fallen.
You can state his Championship goals but that is the ultimate purple patch. He followed that up with 3 in 35.
Bonne is a poor footballer who can't contribute anything but goals, and he's not even particularly good at that.
Yet to see signs anything has changed with our recruitment.4 -
Funny that Gallen and Martin, who according to Thomas are always out scouting, are at every single one of our games...SELR_addicks said:Our scouts working wonders again.

This is where having Andy Scott here until the end of January may not make sense - Looks a good appointment on paper, where he can come in and offer some advise on transfers etc. but equally need to remember he's been working with clubs looking to reach and stay in the Premier League.
He's now working with a club looking to stay in League One, the type of player he's probably used to scouting, ain't gonna be interested in coming here - So worth remembering, there may be times where he wont be able to offer much input.
Once again Charlton Athletic are making the right noises, but making them too slowly.
Remember... We got background bodies in to help us with the January Transfer Window, SEVEN days before it opened - Majority of other clubs (Portsmouth and Peterborough have just fucked up), will have been preparing the last few months, identifying the players they'll want to help to strengthen them.2 -
I’m guessing all the really good transfers come at the end of the transfer window narrative is now in the bin?0
-
Either I have somehow missed the official announcement or 99% of posters are not only jumping the gun but leaping the cannon.
Let's not go castigating the scouts/transfers/whoever before we have actually signed someone yeah? Its one report that could very easily be some 2+2=5 "logic" from a journo.2 -
To be fair, they never said who they were scouting though. The rare self-scoutCafc43v3r said:

Bonne is a lower/ mid table League One striker. We could do slightly worse but it's just so uninspiring.

Charlton are the latest club to show an interest in Macauley Langstaff. #CharltonAthletic #CAFC #NottsCounty

I was thinking or rather hoping that anybody we sign will be with a view to next season and hopefully getting a run at getting out of this league. Why waste money on wages for Bonne when you admit it’s only a short term fix. Spend that money to entice a real target we actually want and who can be an asset next season.Cafc43v3r said:

Do our scouts have a database of 4 players?Honestly, if we got back Bonne it’ll annoy me. Not because he’s shit (he is) but because we keep signing the same fkin players. Leko next anyone?21

You’ll fly through the medical at Sparrows Lane tomorrow morning. Good to have you on board. How tall are you by the way?Sillybilly said:

Exactly. Says everything about where we are. Stale and uninspiring. And just not very good.ValleyGary said:Do our scouts have a database of 4 players?Honestly, if we got back Bonne it’ll annoy me.

Leko next anyone?If this new takeover lot are the aspirational, well-backed lot some believe, then young, exciting, best of League One is what you’d expect.
But they’re obviously not = bring back gobshite head on a stick MB.0 -
This is such a great shout, never put 2+2 together. Gallen has used up his credits, can go with Martin and TS.Cafc43v3r said:

Would be very very surprised if there's anything in the Macaulay Langstaff link. Would be a seven figure fee at least for him and there's probably championship interest too. Someone we would have seen play against us last season for Gateshead however.1

Is it my imagination or did we blame the Bonne deal on deadline day falling through on QPR despite the fact they are no willing to let him go for nowt, tells me the deal was never on1

I’ve heard QPR wanted the loan deal we had agreed changed at the last minute into a permanent deal. They wanted shot then and nothings changed.CH4RLTON said:Is it my imagination or did we blame the Bonne deal on deadline day falling through on QPR despite the fact they are no willing to let him go for nowt, tells me the deal was never on0 -
