Macauley Bonne joins QPR for £2m (Ed. Joined Ipswich on loan)

Players come and go. Whoever goes will always have fans who liked them kicking off about them going. Hopefully we have turned a corner at the club and players will arrive. I can only imagine the meltdown when players like JW. JFC etc move on. All we can do is hope LB brings in players that prove to be better for the club

As an aside Driesen has retweeted a couple of  tweets about Bonne, maybe he's claiming some credit for the profit on the purchase!

Oh... But But he was shit?

Too many of our fans are f**king clueless!!

And you wonder why people are having a pop at ya. 

Half the people on here think his good half think his not all that. Crap like this after he scores a goal for them in his first game is asking to be shot down. 

I personally dont think his good enough, But his another teams player now so ultimately who cares. 

Come back at the end of the season and we can see what qpr fans think of him.  Stop trying to mug off your fans all the time to try and prove a point. 

I've got no issue with people having a pop at me for telling me I'm talking shit, I'm an adult and can am happy to have a grown up argument with anyone on here

But having a pop on a personal level, throwing insults, is that really needed, especially when they dont know the context of which they speak?

Only @cafcsinger can answer that!!

To be fair I was angry when I posted what you quoted, not trying to mug anyone off, but will continue proving a point when I'm accused of being in his fan club when I simply have faith in certain Footballers to do good at what they do and get proven right when that happens - Of course if I'm wrong then I'll equally take it like a man, same as when I got a few cheeky comments about my positivity when we finally got relegated

As I've discussed with another poster on here... We've all thrown insults around at each other one at some stage but think we all need to be careful when we do so at it comes to a point where however major / minor that insult is, you will get called out on it as it will hit too close to home - If you cant back that up when called out, well thats their problem!!

I agree there is no need for personal stuff but you said too many of our fans are fucking clueless which could been seen as insult to some. We all post shit after a game when we have the hump, I’m the first to admit that.  I just don’t think calling fans fucking clueless because Bonne scored today, it proves sod all at the moment.

I’ve apologised privately and calling you weird was too far, so apologies. Was more getting at the fact i thought it was strange you defending Bonne, but we’re all allowed differing opinions.

I wiil enjoy the banter on this thread this season.
I cant have people saying he was sh!t ,11 goals in 33 in a team that Messi would of struggled to get 15 goals.
What did we want from Bonne last season?
He came to the club was it 3rd striker jumping 3 divisions.
Maybe if hed stepped up a division and cost us a few quid id understand the criticism.

it’s almost like a bunch of random people sat at home calling him useless don’t know what they’re talking about. Shocked i say. 

Thank god we didnt have him today eh!!... Would have been his fault we didnt score

Oh but we're just his fan club and know shit!!!!

probably still is to some

No one will know whether this move will be ultimately be a success for all parties but I am certainly not going to attack a guy for seeking to play at a higher level most probably on a better contract.

I wish him well.

He did his very best in stepping up from the National League and carrying a heavier load than was anticipated after the injuries to Leko, Green and Taylor particularly with the latter abdicating his responsibilities after the lockdown.

He worked very hard, did improve but he is not a natural leader of the line.

At a different time perhaps when the spine of the side had not been gutted for a second season and he had not had to live through a close season of utter turmoil he would have not been so keen to join a "grown up" football club with better players.

The legacy of the past 9 months will have had and will continue to have consequences. What do you think players agents, families and friends have been saying to the players over the past months.

In fact such was the turmoil had Mr Sandgaard not completed a takeover when he did, I strongly suspect, to avoid Administration, the deal for Bonne was already done to pay the salaries, pay part of the tax bill and probably fund a new signing subject to the embargo.

Upon the takeover it is likely the only people moving the goalposts (and probably the price) was Charlton. It is maybe why Phillips is still here, for now, and why we saw the lack lustre last performance from Bonne. Having had a move firmly in his sites effectively quashed it seemed only reasonable, if QPR met the new price, to let him go.

The positive view of the £2m price tag probably has more to do with, it being likely twice the figure agreed before the takeover.

So you are entitled to your view of Bonne. Guess what so is Mr Bowyer.

He has made his judgement call in what he views as the best move for the club and the player. In the circumstances it was probably the right thing to do. We move on.

Whether the £2m was a good price will now depend on how well we spend it.

Will it secure a better player better suited to the way Bowyer wants to play or recruits better quality than previously anticipated in other positions we will have to see.

Agree with whoever said he’ll score more than any Charlton player this season.

Shocking business when you look at the options available to us. 

The guy didn’t wanna be here Stu, he openly admitted it.
