Where did I say that Richie said he is his type of player please?
You said Richies type of player , Ive never heard Richie say it & Just wonder what knowledge you had that led you to say Macca was .
Richie has said countless times what his type of forward is. After watching Bonne play about 60 times for us i believe that he fits into that type. Unless he’s suddenly changed into someone else
Link please

His style of play is Richie all over.

Able to play the lone front man, works defences tirelessly both on and off the ball, strong, quick, not that great a finisher.
I tend to agree with this “ not a great finisher” I think he’s better than Drinnan and Kelman. Can he recapture his form. I have a feeling he can. He’s only 27 and knows the club pretty well. Can we afford him,does Wellens want him? Can’t see him getting a championship club only league one or two and the fact he tends to stay in the south. Personally would like to see him back🙊
So your happy to have another " not a great finisher". I thought we had moved on for the Job for the boys era

Like I said he’s better than Drinnan and I think he’s Wellens sort of player but you have to be realistic as to what we can bring in and afford, we ain’t going to get Harry Kane are we. We probably won’t get Bonne? Anyone that can put the ball in the net for 15/20 times a season as already probablly been signed are signing or at a club already,unless you think that the club are going to pay a large transfer fee for a player. If we can unearth a player that can get 20 goals for us at a bargain price I would be highly delighted as most O’s supporters would be🙈

"Not a great finisher" is being somewhat kind.

Drinan is contracted & I dont see him going out on loan , We need different whatever that maybe . Looking forward to see who we bring in .

"Not a great finisher". Have we had a striker with better goal-scoring statistics subsequently?

Wonder who on here would like to see us sign apart from Armstrong and Bonne. Taking into account the style Wellens plays and how much we could realistically afford?🙈

I loved Macca and would have him back in a heartbeat, but he's not a finisher.

Lyle Taylor is a free agent, would be a fantastic signing?

He is the captain of the Montserrat national team and Matt Lockwood is their head coach. We need some help from Locky here.

And also scare the sh*t out of the clubs bank manager . How much do you reckon those two would cost . ? Both would be miles above our budget.

Absolutely I am but how deep is our pockets? Don’t get me wrong, if we did signed those two I’d be over the moon but I think it’s unrealistic

I reckon he'll definitely find a new club . The only thing that's in question is how much of a pay cut he'll end up with compared to what he was earning at Charlton. Edit , Maybe we did want him but couldn't afford his wages .As always it's down to money and we have to work within our budget .
