    Obvs, innit. 99. Although the FA wouldn’t let Ferdinand move from 9 to 99 when Shearer went to Newcastle.

    It will be interesting if he scores on his debut and looks willing.

  • 4.
  • I think 5-7 goals would be a fair return, more and he’s played a blinder, less than 5 and it was a bit of a disaster.

    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.

    Bonne choosing the number 8 shirt and playing up front is worse than anything he’s said on social media. Get him gone 
    True, Morgan at 10 and Bonne at 8 irritates the Football Manager player in me.
    Morgan on the pitch irritates me.

    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.

    My prediction for the most-used CL phrase of 2023. 
    Well it's an upgrade on 2022 and 2021 "turgid" and "dog shit"

    I think 0-3 because it will, hopefully mainly, be sub appearances.  Which means Leaburn will.play all the remaining games and get another dozen.

    In a weird way, I hope you’re wrong. If Leaburn scores another 12 he definitely won’t be here next season

    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.

    7-10 would be a decent return.

    I think he'll average a goal every 270 minutes he plays so max 7 if he plays all of every game, which he won't. I'll go with 3-5.
  • 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 !

    I seemed to be in the minority but I loved him and just hope the last 3 and a bit years haven't taken his admirable work rate away

    If he starts then he will get 7or 8

    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

    5-10 is not one of the options so 5-7?

    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:

    Bonne;  46 appearances, 12 goals.  
    Washington: 38 appearances, 11 goals
    Stockley:  29 appearances 3 goals.

    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. 
    45 minutes ain’t gonna cut it 😜😎

    I don’t think Bonne and Taylor started more than a handful of games together in the Championship season. Taylor got injured on international duty which helped Bonne get a chance.  

    Bonne played the majority of his games either up front on his own, with Williams playing behind him, or as split strikers with Leko.

    I dont remember him playing much at all with the snake, the Bristol City game at home I recall them being on the pitch at the same time and us absolutely tearing them apart. 

    I remember him being a bit naive to watching his position in terms of getting caught offside which I hope has been coached put of him but I mainly remember him getting some very important goals and impressing me with his work ethic
