I would not just wet my bed but also the carpet if either of these players play for us next season.

Is Richie on record with that ?

He works hard and runs the channels a lot, its the sort of striker who would fit Richie’s system well. His goalscoring stats at this level on the other hand…

We proved last year that you don't need a 20 goal a season striker to go up (but it helps obviously) I agree that Bonne would fit RW's system perfectly and I have always thought that plyers need to be at the right club under the right manager to thrive - I think Bonne could be good for 15 goals in a RW team and I would happily take that.

I thought so to as Richie has never publicly stated Macca is his type of player , so was wondering if had confirmed it in a private conversation . Please share your info as I have always liked Macauley .

Yes, I'll give you that, he works hard, runs the channels well and is good with penalties...

Bonne's ability is not really in question... and certainly not by himself :)))

I agree. He’s the sort of player who will work hard and that will create space for others. Having a focal point makes a team too one dimensional.

11 goals in 29 starts for Charlton in Championship
12 goals in 29 starts for Ipswich in League One
26 goals in 133 games after he left Orient
18 goals in 115 League 1 games (all clubs)

He had a good start in 21/22 for Ipswich, scoring some important goals. After the beginning of November that season, his only goal for the rest of it was the 3rd in a 3-0 win at Gillingham, at the start of January. His first goal last season was the 6th in a 6-0 win in the 90th minute as a sub, 3 months after he signed.

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.

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

Have I said he doesnt do any of that ? No I Havent , yet still nobody can show me where Richie has claimed Macca is his type of player. Sounds like your describing Drinan rather than Macca , one of him is enough thanks , I'd like a younger Troy Deaney Type , an out & out goalscorer .

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🙊
