    A colleague's other half was a coach at Leyton Orient, she seems to know him well and says he is a really really top bloke, great player, but the Championship is probably his ceiling.
    Well, let's not worry about him being unable to perform in the Premier League JUST yet...

    In his interview on TalkSport this morning, Lee Bowyer that Bonne was a project. They need to do some work with him to get him up to the required standard 
    IMO telling us the fans, to be realistic with our expectations - and not to expect too much too soon.

    To be fair, I'd say that too, especially if I wanted to look better by making a non league player look championship standard.
    Plus it takes the pressure off of Macauley. No early expectations = no disappointment when he doesn’t score a hat trick on debut.

    Not every striker hits the ground running like Lyle Taylor did.

    A mate of mine who supports Orient says that he only scores at Leyton Orient’s ground. If we get the Os away in the League Cup, their boys could be in for one hell of thrashing. Otherwise, don’t expect too much.

    A mate of mine called today, he's a Leyton Orient season ticket holder and was gutted losing Bonne. He said Bonne is all action, wins most headers but is a bit sloppy in front of goal. Always gives 100%, he sounds alright to me.

    He'll fit in at Charlton then

    Dont know about anyone else but felt a bit strange having two strikers in amongst the goals last season, was the sole good thing about Grant leaving as restored normality to South East London

    Not exactly, said one the future but spoke as if he was expected to make an impact in the first team.

    Not sure how anybody can be totally sure where a player's ceiling is. Maybe somebody would have said Taylor's was League 2 a few years ago. Bowyer has seen something there and I have more faith in him than most managers or coaches.

    Jokes aside but as another example people were saying Grant's level wasnt even in the Football League only a little while ago

    They certainly wouldnt have forseen him having four goals to his name in the Premier League

    If Bonne is of Championship standard that will be fantastic as the rest of our side have big question marks about their ability to become championship players. The wonderful Lyle Taylor is 29 and is unproven at this level. Solly was but isn't guaranteed to even start now. It's more hope than judgement but it was the same with the team that Powell assembled. The team need supporting, I wonder how long the flaky Charlton crowd will keep their nerve before looking for the next Morgan Fox ?

    There’s nobody anywhere near as poor as Fox in this squad

    Is that the same Morgan Fox who was bought by a championship side while we were in League 1 ?

    I think you may be in for a rude awakening next season. Morgan Fox has been playing consistently in a championship that is much stronger than the last time we were in it. Last time he had players like JBG, Ben Haim, Gomez, Bulot, Buyens, even solly with better knees than now etc around him.

    Are we saying the likes of Lapslie, Pratley - even Taylor, Lockyer or Aneke would walk in to that?

    We had a better squad in 2014/15 than we do now, on paper.  Personally, I never saw Fox play well for us.

    I know he had a bit of an inauspicious debut midweek but thought he looked quite lively when he came on yesterday. Didn’t get a clear sight of goal but showed a couple of nice touches and a decent turn of pace.

    I thought he was fine midweek but had very little service.

    Maybe he is a Bowyer/Gallen signing.

    If his move doesn't work out we can blame Tommy.

    My opinion after just seeing him play once is given opportunity in the 1st team Bonne could be a successful member of the 18 man squad.

    A big jump to go up 3 divisions but Goal scorers are like gold dust. Disappointed to hear negative comments but pleased he was thrown on with Lyle and Aneke to rescue a point.

    Maculey Bonne, I will support 100%.
    I guess that's why I'm a supporter.

    By no means is he ready to step up as the main striker if (God forbid) Taylor is out for an extended period. But he's definitely got the potential to make cameos and cup starts to start building up.

    As I said in the player marks thread on Tuesday I though he looked as though he had something about him. He’s a work in progress. I couldn’t understand All the poor marks as he did well with whatever scraps he had.
