If the team do what they are paid to do and entertain the paying crowd, then there will be a better atmosphere.

spectators pay money to watch the game.
It is up to the players to do their bit.
Footballers are paid to play football Span , not entertain !!
Professional sport is part of the entertainment industry
Its part of Sport & Competition . Its not Swan Lake !

Well this makes things very interesting, you'd have to think we'd have a real shot at getting him in the door.

Why?

- Still local to him.
- Firing us (potentially) to another promotion on his CV.
- Will see position we are in, which makes it an attractive proposition to play regular League 1 football next season. You could make an argument that this would not be guaranteed with signing for any League 1 club 13th down, both in terms of regular playing time and being in League 1.
- On the above point, strikes me as a player that wants to be on the pitch.
- Also strikes me as a confidence player that likes to be
loved. He knows he'd get that in abundance here.
- I believe we cannot loan 3 players from the same club, no smoke without fire?

Wages and interest elsewhere may be a stumbling block but you'd have to think we'd be in the running.

Results come first, surely. If results are accompanied by style, so much the better.

Can anybody remember the style we had in winning the National League?

I cannot. Ultimately, does it matter?

Was Argentina's style great in winning the World Cup?

I do not think so.
By style, we mean formation.

And as we’ve already said, yes he absolutely does. And he’s a Richie type of player character wise, too.
I have no wish to be controversial, but he's not worth the wage he would be asking.

He will have a lot of interest from League one. Our only hope is that Bonne likes Lingys coffee and comes back short term until the end of the season. Like to see it but it’s a long shot.
Where did you pluck that figure from? I looked at one internet source that suggested £4.5k. The truth may be somewhere in the middle.
Someone ITK at Ipswich Town (close to where I live) who had him on loan last season told me. £4.5k a week is more a middle of league one wage than championship money, Ipswich paid a percentage of his wages. He will have to drop his wage expectations if he drops to League One.

Yeah , well us signing Bonne was always going to be a long shot . The club is probably looking at somebody else anyway .

In spite of the fact that Macauley has achieved very little since leaving us in 2019, I'd love to have him back. He should be a realist and come to terms with the fact that his level is League 2

Come on fella, that’s not fair.

Yes he was but nothing was ever proved and he wasn't charged, so please let it drop.

If they are then of course we have no chance.

Are they, though? Going back to Charlton would be a turn up.

We all know about this incident & who it involved. As TP says, a very unhelpful post. The guy was not charged.
I do hate this kind of insinuation which offends all the rules of natural justice.
