Bonne
We look toothless upfront.
He doesn't have a club.
But we gave done the budget and it ain't gonna happen.
Nice thought though.

Re: Bonne
Since leaving us he’s had 1 semi-decent season which was on loan to Ipswich in league 1 about 3 seasons ago.
If he hadn’t played for us previously people wouldn’t even be mentioning him.
No thanks. There’s a reason he’s a free agent.

Re: Bonne
Always in the minority but I’d have him back. He has a skill set that we haven’t got anywhere else. He holds the ball up well and works incredibly hard. You don’t really need your CF to score a ton of goals but we do need someone to bring Kelman and ageyi into the game a bit more.
Probably won’t happen though but he’s a club legend regardless

Re: Bonne
So he didn't have a decent season on his initial stint at Charlton, when QPR paid a rumoured 2 million for him, admittedly a waste of money. One of the few players where we actually got a decent sell on return.The Reverend wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 9:08 am Since leaving us he’s had 1 semi-decent season which was on loan to Ipswich in league 1 about 3 seasons ago.

Re: Bonne
I’m going to agree (first time for everything) we need someone up front for sure. Don’t think he’s the answer but a short term deal up to Christmas perhaps?or pay as you play? Needs to get fit though.someone suggested Waghorn another possibility for a short term deal. We need a bit of experience up front. What we have at the moment is to light weight.

Re: Bonne
No to Bonne. Had a good season in the National League. Done nothing since. Its Barnet or bust for him I'm afraid.

Re: Bonne
We're definitely a striker short so out of those two I would choose Waghorn . . As always though how much money is left in our budget ? I would imagine it's now all spent .Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 11:07 amI’m going to agree (first time for everything) we need someone up front for sure.

Re: Bonne
From all accounts the all action Bonne that we had is long gone, now overweight and unfit and has completely lost his edge. Perhaps worth a gamble or Waghorn on as you say ''a short term deal up to Christmas perhaps?or pay as you play? Needs to get fit though'' Thing is, I have seen no indication that Richie likes or wants a target men type centre forward and this is much of the reason for Os problems in scoring lack of goals. Richie is stubborn and reluctant to change his way of playing.Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 11:07 amI’m going to agree (first time for everything) we need someone up front for sure.

Re: Bonne
Nobody would sign him so your theory will never be tested. He would do OK in the Lowland League.ChorizO wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 11:39 amStill would score goals for fun in the Scotchland league.Max B Gold wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 11:38 am No to Bonne.

Re: Bonne
Signing unfit players in the hope the get fit at some point is slightly better than signing a player with a broken ankle. Both options are a waste of money we don't have anyway.

Re: Bonne
I really cannot understand why the all action Bonne has gone from where he was to where he is now in such a relatively short space of time. Not like he has suffered a bad injury of any sort is it ? I mean as a pro footballer, keeping fit is something you need to do as a top priority isn't it ! Perhaps they lose their enthusiasm and motivation, love of playing etc. Think of Stanley Mathews, kept himself fit and playing till he was 50 years old !Max B Gold wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 11:58 amSigning unfit players in the hope the get fit at some point is slightly better than signing a player with a broken ankle.

Re: Bonne
I’d bring him back , he’d add something to the squad , including experience . This was two years ago at a higher level than us . You don’t lose all of that skill in two years . He just needs the right inspiration .

Re: Bonne
Didnt we consider him before but his first question was about money? Also the car crash incident at Gillingham (and considering how quickly they moved him on) would be a red flag for me.

Re: Bonne
Exactly and why has his form declined so much so soon, I mean he is not in his mid 30's is he, 29 years old in October so should be at his peak playing years ?RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 1:10 pmIf that version of Bonne still existed today he wouldn’t be without a club .Sid Bishop wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 1:07 pmWould have the Bonne in that video back tomorrow, but seems like that Bonne is just a memory of what once was.Norlington Road wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 12:44 pm I’d bring him back , he’d add something to the squad , including experience .

Re: Bonne
Whether he put on muscle / weight or just matured - he lost a half yard of pace and went from running in behind to playing with his back to goal a lot more. His effectiveness spiralled downwards as a response. I'm not sure at this stage of his career where he gets that pace back from.Sid Bishop wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2024 12:15 pmI really cannot understand why the all action Bonne has gone from where he was to where he is now in such a relatively short space of time.
