Players who scored 11-goals in the Championship last season were all purchased for a lot more than either £1.5m or £200kPopIcon said:
Bonne isn't worth £2.5m, we've all seen him play. I would be happy with £1.5m (inc add ons) + sell on. £2.5m and I'd be laughing.Dizzle said:

Why should we continue giving away our players for peanuts7 -
My point exactly, we always seem to give away our prized assets for peanuts, I'd actually like us to use that in our favour, you want him that bad we'll take 4m. If Toney is worth 5m, bonne is worth 2.5/3m + add ons.ricky_otto said:

selling Eze. Not like they can’t afford to pay £2.5m.
Toney was sold for 5m with upto 5m in add ons.2 -
I'd be happy with £2m for Bonne with a sell on clause. He hasn't looked interested this season so it's probably best for all parties that he's allowed to move on2
-
Think the think is, we have always sold players well under their market value. We are in a position now to be a bit more demanding. Hopefully the days of us being short changed have passed.PopIcon said:

I admit I hadn't heard of him but then I have little interest in European leagues.se9addick said:Why are people excited for Ronnie Schwartz? Had anyone heard of him until a couple of weeks ago?
However people on here show me the obligatory video and I see a striker who shoots on sight and hits the back of the net regularly, something we haven't had since Mendonca, of course I'm going to get excited.4 -
I do hope that we keep Bonne, all this talk of not interested. He has played three league game this season with no service.
Speaking to an Orient fan this week and he said that he is very grounded and down to earth, would be surprised if a move meant lack of effort8 -
Not disagreeing. The years of selling players on the cheap, this will claw a very small amount backPopIcon said:

Bonne frustrates me as he's shown he can finish difficult chances and can go on a scoring streak, but like a lot of players he looks poor in a poor side. He got into double figures last season in the championship, as second choice behind Taylor for the first part of the season and not taking penalties either, for a side that was relegated. He's not a bad player and is only young, but I think he'll benefit the most from a decent midfield and another striker or two as competition2

Weren't we being quoted over a million for strikers in div 1 last season.0

Notice that Preston have just signed some Danish U21 Striker from Randers another side in their top flight
Along with Portsmouth bringing in that Defender from the same club as Schwartz its not just us looking in Denmark...1 -
Don’t get me wrong, 11 goals in the championship is decent but I don’t just judge someone from picking up the paper and seeing who scored. I judge Bonne for his hold up play, intelligence, runs, link up and overall finishing. What I’ve concluded is that he isn’t that great and in fact appears to be getting worse. The players around him have slightly declined in quality too, but that shouldn’t affect his personal ability to control a football. I think QPR must either be extremely desperate or he’s going there as someone to chuck on with 10 mins to go.20

Would be a shame to lose Bonne IMHO but nearly every manager has to balance their squad and finances.
Maddison is an exciting player. LB has said there are things he needs to improve. It's not coincidence that while Posh scored loads they let in loads too.
Good to be excited over signings not court cases.

I’ll be disappointed if we sell Bonne, still believe with the right midfielders behind him he’d get 15 goals this season.I wonder if it’s just the money that’s making us sell Bonne (to balance the books etc) and the available squad place it will supply, or if it’s something else. Bowyer has always said Bonne was a work in progress, and was never meant to play as much as he did last year.Just surprised that Bowyer doesn’t want to continue that journey with Bonne, considering how much he’s fought in the past to keep young talent from leaving, such as Aribo (before anyone jumps on this, I’m not saying they have the same amount of talent).1
-
Bowyer I expect would like to keep Bonne but with the financial limitations he has to weigh up keeping faith in one player and potentially adding two more for a stronger squad overall1
-
He's definitely not lazy, does he fit Bow's game plan? That's the question I have lingering in my head. I'd persist with him personally. His relationship with Washington was looking okay after the first couple of games, but broke down a bit last week.robroy said:I do hope that we keep Bonne, all this talk of not interested. He has played three league game this season with no service.

A couple of times Bonne made the strikers run into space unmarked only for Washington to release a wasted shot each time. Both times they were positions that I would have slaughtered Bonne for not playing those passes and if they were made Bonne was in a position where a slaughtering would be deserved for missing.
If he plays Bonne in on both those opportunities I am certain it'd have been a completely different game. Bonne would have scored one of them..
I'd prefer we worked on building up our strikers chemistry rather than splitting them up. If Bowyer thinks Schwartz can hit the ground running then IBWT.
I'd like to see our next four signings through the door be:
RB, RM, CB, Schwartz
The only out if he has to go would be Phillips.2 -
I think Bonne frustrates the hell out of LB and JJ. They know he has the instinctive talent to knock the ball in the bet regularly (with his feet), but MB has proven many times that he thinks first or takes an assurance touch before getting something away and that is what diminishes both his return in goals and effect for the team.
If QPR have 3/4 decent strikers to choose from, you can afford to carry the risk, safe in the knowledge that you are not wholly reliant and can rotate. We are not in the same position and if we want promotion, need some consistency up front. That is how I see LB and SG playing this window in as many areas as possible.
MM consistent record in L1, same Gilbey TOTY consistency type player, Washington consistent hustler and will chip in, Ben Watson reliable calm consistent performer that will break up play and set attacks on their way. If Schwartz comes off, the question will be whether he has been playing at the same level, but if so, he clearly knows where the goal is and consistently hits a fair quota every year.
Just loving the focus on this thread rather than the ownership shenanigans. What a refreshing and exciting change!12 -
Is a sell-on really much use in the case of Bonne? How much do we really think QPR will go on to sell him for? He's not suddenly going to turn into a £15m striker. I'd guess he'll end up leaving QPR for a lot less than they pay for him.3

Really ?? For player who has spent his career in the lower leagues & who we paid just £200k for.CAFCDAZ said:24 years old, 11 goals last season and 2 years left on his contract, anything less than 2.5m is bad business imo
I'd bite you hand off for anything over £750k.4 -
Toney jas consistently scored goals. Bonne hasn't. Obviously not going to turn down £x but I really dont think you can put him in the Toney class.CAFCDAZ said:

Toney was sold for 5m with upto 5m in add ons.1 -
11 Championship goals is worth a lot more than £750k.
I still believe Bonne will come good, but it sounds like we have 2 striker targets who Gallen/Bowyer want so meh. At least we aren't losing him on a free like we normally seem to do.1 -

Interesting that rumours are flying about for Doughty and Bonne, but nothing for Phillips.Have I missed the updates with him, or has there been nothing mentioned in past week?2

Not sure what happens with Phillips if no one comes in for him, puts Bowyer in a difficult position imo6
