With Jonny at the end of the season CP paid up his contract so he became a free agent. So he effectively would be a new signing for us and all of his wages would count to the Cap. Exactly the same situation at Adam MatthewsRichard J said:How do loan rules work?
If an experienced player was paid up by a Prem club like Jonny Williams was and we just paid a modest salary how would that relate to the cap if they came on loan or as with Jonny they signed full time?
With loan players the percentage of the wages etc that we pay will go towards the cap. So if a payer is on 10k a week and we pay £3k of that , the mount that we pay goes towards the cap.
So the age of the player doesn't matter?
Would a U21 loanee's salary count at all towards the cap?0 -
No rumours then, just idle chat.7
-
under u21's i believe don't count at all1
-
My guess is that even if we have signed anyone, they won’t be announced until a large photo shoot with LB & TS when TS is back in the country, so likely to be tomorrow or Friday morning0

Yea I have given Bonne pelters since the restart basically. But I do think when in touch he is a natural finisher, most of his goals are quite frankly half chances at best. It's clear cut chances he seems to fluff.cazo said:
Can we really afford to give up someone who really is a talented striker, who runs the right lines? Even if he has been terrible for 4 months.
And again what use is the money for selling him?2 -
Who told QPR?cazo said:3 -

You make it sound like 4 months is a short amount of time to be terrible.
He's a 25 year old striker who offers very little and shows no sign of any improvement. Get the cash, free up the wages and get someone else in. There is better options in L2 I'm sure.2 -
If selling Bonne means we can guarantee game time to an u21 prem loan and if QPR are offering a good fee then we should probably take it8

Sadly I think we should accept any amount above £1.5m for him. He did well at times last season but he needs far too many chances, which isn't a luxury we can afford at the moment.

Hopefully will put to bed any notion of getting Andre Green back

Bonne was a work in progress that we were forced to use. Still not a finished article and does have potential. Did well enough and applies himself but at the moment he’s not what we need. Great if we can retain him as third / fourth choice but I still don’t see him firing us to promotion. I don’t see Washington as a 20 goal striker but the foil for one who is. We need two strikers in if Bonne goes which in an ideal world might not be good business but needs must. We need promotion5

Baffled by the "get rid of Bonne" comments, and the way 11 goals in 33 Championship games is a sign that he's not good enough for L1. Especially as his goal scoring ratio compared favourably to most other strikers in the division26

Yeah lets get rid of someone who guarantees us goals when chances get created (he hasnt had a shocking miss once this season)... Baffles me why people are prepared to take the risk to get rid of him when the next player may be even worsekillerandflash said:Baffled by the "get rid of Bonne" comments, and the way 11 goals in 33 Championship games is a sign that he's not good enough for L1.

e.g the argument is we need a Mendonca / Taylor / Grant / Hunt / Kermogant / BWP type striker and whilst we havent been promoted that often, those are the only guys (in 20-years) that have gone close to twenty goals for us in a season... So why is everyone confident that Bonne's "replacement" can do better than him?
Ive discarded the Premier League strikers for obvious reasons by the way5 -
Maddison back on our wanted listed9

Think his goal return last season is misleading, for every goal he scored I can think of 2 or 3 golden chances missed. The one on ones against Millwall and Wigan and also the one at Birmingham are unforgivable and ultimately sent us down.
He doesn't really offer anything, doesn't create anything, doesn't hold it up, been completely anonymous in three games so far this season.
He won't score the goals to get us promoted, we paid £200k for him. The only way he'll be of any value to us is if we make over £1m on him and allows to make space in both the squad and wage cap.1 -
Bowyer, Jackson, Gallen and a quite a few of other club scouts must be idiots for rating him. All this time they could have consulted the football experts on Charlton Life and found out that he’s in fact terrible.killerandflash said:Baffled by the "get rid of Bonne" comments, and the way 11 goals in 33 Championship games is a sign that he's not good enough for L1.

It’s a shame football clubs neglect all this grassroots scouting on Internet forums, they almost certainly know better than the professionals.
Sarcasm to one side, there’s a nice middle ground between “Bonne will get 25 goals this season guaranteed” and “Bonne is terrible we should accept any offer we get”.8 -
Part of me does wonder if LB is thinking if we get a decent offer for Bonne to cash in with a sell on clause as well.
I am split as can see the attraction on cashing in and bringing someone else in but part f me thinks we may regret it later on.2 - Sponsored links:

A WHAT FEE?!addick1956 said:
Don't expect a nig fee for Bonne then.MattF said:Hopefully will put to bed any notion of getting Andre Green back19 -
Honestly think the talk of offloading Bonne is nuts. I don't think he's going to get anymore than 15 goals this season, but I'm also struggling to see who we can sign for around 3k a week who is going to do the same, let alone 2 of them as we are already 1 short!
Without the salary cap I'd consider it to help fund a promotion but not with one.9 -

Im defo on the middle ground with Bonne, I don’t see him getting the amount of goals Taylor got but also think if played he’ll make double figures. I think if the fee is right and it’s bowyers decision then so be it, he’s replaceable.2 -
The Super League special! Player's wives were secretaries earning £200k or something ridiculous.charltonbob said:
TS needs to open a London office & give the players part jobs opening the post for a few grand a week.MattF said:
The salary cap covers other fees and expenses paid directly or indirectly to the player, so I would assume signing on fees come under that sadlyct_addick said:Can't we pay a signing on fee in lieu of wages to get around the salary cap ?

No-one has said he's terrible just that he's not good enough to warrant turning down a potential £1.3m profit on him when his wages and place in the squad can be used to improve the squad. It may allow us to bring in a promising striker whilst also being able to get a permanent RB for example.
Reality is, if LB wants to get everything he wants/needs then a senior player is probably going to have to go, if it's a choice of Doughty or Bonne then I choose Bonne.3 -

If we do now sell Bonne it will be because Gallen, Bowyer et all don't rate him as much as everyone on here does, and the #BigBonneFanClub will have to eat it.ElliotCAFC said:

When Bowyer is saying we need to sign a goalscorer because we can't keep missing chance after chance, that's not a endorsement of Bonne's position in the team. That is Bonne's only role in the team.11 -
In total agreement with this. If the cap wasn’t about I would listen to offers knowing now it could be invested on a striker right now. But the problem is as others have said unless it’s a prem or top end champ loan who we going to get In on the wages that’s a more proven goalscorer. I.e. 11 in 33 in championship.cafcfan1990 said:Honestly think the talk of offloading Bonne is nuts.

the thing with bonne is he to me seems sometimes a bit slow and when gets the ball very predicable and rarely beats players so as a striker to watch (look at someone like Leko - they were a lot more exciting to watch but I doubt would get more goals than bonne and are playing in the championship).
Bonne has that nack of getting goals but not doing too much else. 1 in 3 for championship and not penalties either, is a pretty good stat and why QPR and maybe others are sniffing around. I personally now would want a top end young striker on loan like an Adam Idah type As well as Ronnie Schwartz and keep Bonne who then will go down to 3rd/4th choice if isn’t performing. Whereas now he seen as our main man and we need 3/4 strikers.1
