We're waiting for the clubs to lower the fee & the agent to lower the players wage expectations. It always happens at the end of the window when things start getting more sensible.
Unlike Stockley and Washington, Bonne can score different types of goals, he’s an all rounder which is what we need. He can get in behind, he can score with his head from crosses, score with his feet from low crosses and with both feet. He’s more mobile than Stockley so will be a lot better for our high press
Birmingham set to pay 750,000 for the chesterfield striker … football gone mad non league player going for that much now we can see how difficult it is when these prices are so out of control

If the Manager thinks Bonne can do a job that's good enough for me, on the proviso that he passes a test on the offside rule before he signs
You really think Garner had a say in it. 3 hours before the window shuts and we are scrambling around the bargain bins yet again.
Dont think Bonne is the player to get in behind defences that Sandgarrd mooted 2 days ago. Always offside & his finishing is worse than Washington's.
At age 30 Washington has scored 81 goals.
At age 26 Bonne has scored 88 goals.
Washington in League One for us: 35 games 11 goals
Bonne in the Championship for us: 33 games 11 goals.
You are including non-league goals - overall- there for Bonne……
Last season Bonne with 12 goals is more than Washington has scored in a season for 8 years.
I'm not saying Bonne is the second coming, but he's better than what we had last season.
And yet Washington is a Champ player, but Bonne is with a Champ club, no chance of getting a game with them, and it’s looking like he (may) be joining a Lge 1 club 🤷
People not understanding that the right striker will contribute a huge amount by bringing more goals out of the rest of the team and helping turn our massive possession into regular consistent goal threat, despite us playing 9 games already is genuinely mind blowing to me. The striker needs to contribute more than just goal threat, we've seen that with Stockley. He managed to provide a decent goal return under Jackson but now he's not well suited to what we're doing and that's to do with his physical attributes more than his finishing. We don't need someone with a history of 20 goals a season, we need someone with a bit of pace who can stretch the backline and push into the channels to provide space in front of goal for the inverted wingers we have
Who doesn’t see that? It’s been stated multiple times by multiple people over the last couple of weeks particularly.
Er, a troubling number of people. Plenty moaning about Bonne's finishing, there's someone complaining that Olaofe won't fire us to promotion, golfie (I know this is cheating) and several others have been splitting hairs over whether we need a striker or a forward. It's constant.
Bonne would be more underwhelming than quorn roast at a steak restaurant. Another wasted season if a striker that can SCORE (enough goals) isn't signed.

Last season we finished 13. To finish top 6 you need far better.
Our squad is better.
We have far too many players to move on to have the funds. To get a replacement for Stockley you'd need to move him on first, no one would take him on the wages he's on I bet.

I dreamt of Stockton and Alfie May, but Bonne is better than nothing
We'd be signing a player that improves us in no way and not one that adds a different component to our side.
https://youtu.be/6uEHLZkNego I think most people are forgetting how good he was pre-lockdown in that season

Washington due back in January 2024?
Charlton strikers, so good we sign them twice. We could actually end up with 3 center fowards we have signed twice!
Edit - he is one you meant. I’ll go back to sleep.
Aneke, Stockley and Bonne.
Maybe Omar will be back any day soon as well.
Washington played 76 and scored 22 in all comps.
3 goals in 37 for QPR.
12 goals in 43 for Ipswich.
This is a player who is primarily a 'goalscorer' and offers very little outside the box.
Not gonna happen but I would take that all day long

I reckon Sandgaard must be at Goals at the old Meridian club near Charlton Park trying to spot unearthed talent.
