Wasn't convinced with Bonne first time round but do remember thinking he would do well in League 1 when we went down. Certainly will get behind him and he knows himself that he needs to really impress this time. Might surprise us.

I think Macca needs service, he’s probably a 1 in 3 chance taker, hopefully Corey and Jes can provide some ammo for him.
I think we’ve got to remember he had Lyle playing alongside him, who was like 2 players, which I’m sure helped him get his goal tally up for us last time.
What did people make of his appearances against us at The Valley? For QPR & Ipswich.
For QPR he held the ball up well and was very mobile. Looked leaner than he was when previously with us. Drifts out wide quite a bit but that may have been the instruction.
one one minute I think Leaburns the real deal, then I see him miss chances (a couple recently that the Rak has set up ) that if Bonne missed he’d get crucified . Leaburn has more to his game but he needs to get a bit more clinical before I stick the £20m price tag on him !
7 league goals in the first half of the season would have made him the top scorer so nice to see so many rate him. I think he can do it as well so 7-10 for me.
Somewhere between 5-10 depending on how much actual game time he gets- probably closer to 5 than 10 though
This for me, I’m not his biggest fan football wise (I don’t do twatter) and it wouldn’t surprise me if he scores today because he’ll be chomping at the bit to do well if he gets on.
Not really interested in what he says on social media, I just think he’s a poor, poor striker. How anyone can think our recruitment is anything other than an utter joke is beyond me.
He very obviously is not a "poor poor striker".
Latest league one performances by striker options for Charlton:
Washington has a marginally better goals to games ratio, but not by much, and it seems unlikely he is an option. Stockley has around 1 in 10. Aneke, is unlikely to score again in the foreseeable future.
He may be an average average striker. But he is better than any other options we have.
Sorry, just don't rate him.
I quite liked Washington, but he was getting more wasteful the longer he went on; Stockley hasn't been the same since his injury and Chuks? If he had a decent level of fitness he'd be playing a lot higher up the league than he does now. We've been very lucky that Leaburn Jr has come through, wasn't that long ago he was behind Kanu,
This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. It's not just luck that Miles has come through, it's been really good development. He was clearly a part of the first team squad from the start of pre season. This was no fluke, people at the club saw something in him and thought he was ready to make the step up.
Many doubted this. I was chief amongst them. I thought a year of him playing out wide and getting used to the pace and physicality of senior football would be good for him. Maybe a second half loan. But I didn't think he had the touch and tactical awareness to play up front on his own.
I was dead wrong.
And thank God I was.
But he didn't come out of nowhere, and he didn't fluke his way into the first team on a run of good performances. He has been developed to be where he is. And yes, we needed another striker in the summer. And now, it'd be ideal if we could move Stockley on and get a more complete forward in. Both this, and the fact that the club got it right with Miles, can be true at the same time.
