    Really good deal for us and for him. Not sure it is for QPR, but time will tell.

    2 Mil is brilliant business. 

    He’s average at best but did well last year to be fair 

    Now we can sign two strikers according to Bows which is great news .

    Wish him all the best but can't turn down 2 mil for him hopefully to be reinvested

    Good luck to him. Didn’t do bad last season considering circumstances. Played a lot more than I think everyone expected and scored a reasonable return. If we paid £200k and have reportedly sold him for 10x that, then to me it’s a great decision. 

    Certainly think we can do better, long term. 

    Good luck Macauley.

    Take that all day but wish him all the best at the same time.

    Pretty sure we will replace him. Getting him for 200k and selling for 2 mill is pretty good business.

    To buy for £200k and sell for £2m cannot be described as bad business, It is still disappointing though. I had high hopes for Macca this season.

    I hope it's a good move for him. Don't think he did any wrong at Charlton, just didn't have what it takes at this moment in his career to be a lead striker. Hopefully he'll be playing with more experienced partners at QPR and they'll get the best out of him.

    More importantly, I hope it's a good move for us. We need someone who's going to be more of a goal threat. If the £2m is invested wisely, we can do pretty well out of it.

    Great deal, bowyer seems happy and says we’ll be bringing in a striker/ a couple of strikers who “suit the way we play”. Good stuff

    "The second I heard there was interest, my head was turned,” he said. “I’ll easily say that – my head was turned straight away."

    Doesn't bode well for them if he does well and a bigger club come for him then

    Yeah I just read that! Pretty shit way to treat a club who gave you a chance in the pro ranks.

    amazing good deal, way over-priced, and Bowyer seems happy with the funds, so all fine with me

    I do think given the number of quality midfielders we have that a big lump that can put himself about a bit and knows where the goal is could benefit us. Who is that player though? I hate to say it, but somebody like Taylor!

       Yes it sounds but if he starts scoring loads of goals at QPR then maybe not.
      I feel we should have given him a little more time 
      But maybe he did not want to play in league 1?
      It would funny if both him and Taylor ended up a total flops in the Championship 😂😂😂👍👍

    Josh Davison is a very similar player, but he really put a shift in on Wednesday.
    Hope he's not knackered.

    I wouldn’t say Bonne was naff, he came from non league on the cheap and scored more a lot more goals than most Charlton strikers have in the last few years. Good luck to him!

    Maybe he didn't take well to constantly being slated by Bowyer. 

    Personally hope he does well and it's not surprising that his head was turned. Story has been taken down from QPR site... 404 error.

    He scored one goal in 3 matches in the championship in a team that got relegated.

    Thank Fuck, the Ipswich game is off!

    Steve Gallen over to you.

     And not even a thank you.

    Bet his agent is happier than he is.

    Don't forget the no -mark wanker of an agent who started gobbing off late November as the Jan window approached.
