Happy with Bowyer’s comments there. I like Macauley, but I think he has been poor since the restart last season and he is definitely still the project that Lee mentions. May well go on to be a cracking striker, but if he is this season’s Carl Jenkinson and helps us fill a few places, then I wish him well.
Hopefully means that Schwarz is imminent and he certainly seems a decent catch.
Good luck to him, hope it works out at QPR. First time in a long time we've sold a player and it's felt like good business for us, although need to see the replacements to substantiate that. Got a sell on clause too so even better
To turn him from a £200k signing into £2m sale in a year is unbelievable business. Especially for a player who quite frankly is not worth anywhere near that sort of money.
Decent bit of business IF we sign some goal scorers.
Worked hard and was a trier but needed 7 opportunities to score- shows he had good positional sense and created the right chances for himself and going to a club in a better position as back up/ rotation striker may afford him the luxury of time to work on his finishing and improve his chance/ to goal ratio.
He's not had that with us as pretty much got thrown in on arrival due to necessity. Our need is more urgent in terms of getting players in now who will net chances rather than long term prospects.
Got him for 200k, sold for 2m, in recent games he looked completely disinterested and when he didn't score he did little else and it was practically like having 10 men in the side.
But he's only 24 and scored 11 goals in the Championship in a struggling side who were relegated, so the potential is there.
2m might be a fantastic deal for us, but we might look back and say 'how did we let him go that cheap'. Time will tell but as ever i trust Bowyer and Gallen, and we might have other options lined up.
We made a 1000% profit on a player who we can now plough back into the team.
Good move for Bonne, and maybe a good move for CAFC as long as he is replaced by a minimum 18 goal striker and another strong mid fielder who like Maddison can score goals as well.
Ps. Maddison can play wide or in the middle before we can bogged down with positions.

*Wrong thread. Sorry.
he wont get 10 goals for them (excluding pens) this season

That's twice he has gone for more money than Taylor ever has 😜😜
I wish him well.
Especially as I'm now playing up front tomorrow.
Now we'll see 2 strikers sign as Bows & Gallen roll the dice again.
Good luck to him he will get goals for them and will be playing with a beast of a forward in Dykes
;&)

Good luck Macauley. A decent striker in there.
Good luck all the same!

Wish him luck, came across as a decent bloke and worked very hard on the pitch.
