I'm interested to see where he goes next.
After that purple patch season with us in the Championship where he scored 11 goals, he played 34 for QPR and scored just 3.
On loan at Ipswich, following a good early spell, there were soundings that QPR might recall him. Macauley said publically that he didn't want to go back. I can't imagine his parent club were too impressed with that.
What followed was an incredible barren spell where he scored just once in 29 games. Not for lack of chances, Bonne is 2nd in the league for Big Chances Missed. A Twitter poll said 85% of Ipswich fans did not want to sign him permanently.
Likely another League One loan on the cards for next season?1 -
I wouldn't go that far - we make everyone look good - but I was impressed with his movement and link up play. His all round game had improved since he left usCroydon said:Bonne looked superb today. That's how bad we were0 -

He was alright… probably goes back to QPR in the summer and gets another L1 loan deal elsewhere. We did very well to get seven figures for him.0
-
He was decent enough today, if not superb. One thing is for sure is that he looked far better than the two clowns that we had up front.0

Superb a stretch, was teferring to how good we made him look when knowing he's shit. Definitely looked better than anything we had on the pitch. He's absolute garbage, and still offered more than anyone in a Charlton shirtkodfish said:Croydon said:Bonne looked superb today. That's how bad we were

But we know he’s at a similar level to our strikers. We got a very good deal for him. It’s a great example of poor recruitment by QPR.superclive98 said:He was decent enough today, if not superb. One thing is for sure is that he looked far better than the two clowns that we had up front.1 -
He's not garbage. QPR overpaid for him, but you don't score 11 goals in the Championship without having a bit of ability. That's more than Stockley has managed at that levelCroydon said:

I agree that we got a good deal for him. Strikers always come at a premium and QPR gambled and lost.Scoham said:

I'd still rather have Bonne than either Stockley or Washington.1 -
No way , I’d take Stockley over Bonne all day long5
-
Bonne is dogshite. Washington or stockley over him 100%2
-
I don't even really like Stockley & Washington but they are clearly above Bonne.
Washington was only behind him by 1 goal, having played 7 less games and started the season on the wing.
Sandgaard did well to get £2million for a striker who isn't Championship level and is now struggling for goals in league one.2 -
He may have had a purple patch in the champ but he's not a Championship player and he's shown that.
Chris Gunter is Wales most-capped international ¯\_(ツ)_/¯1 -
I don't disagree, but I don't you think you can confidently say that Washington is 'clearly' above Washington1
-
Played in the right formation, with the right players behind him, to feed him, Washington is the batter player IMO - he makes very intelligent runs off the ball to lose his markers, holds the ball up well, technically, a good player at this levelCroydon said:
Stockley definitely, but Washington is debatable. Bonne has played and scored at a higher level.Chunes said:I don't even really like Stockley & Washington but they are clearly above Bonne.
I will however concede that his chance conversion rate is poor, especially 1 on 1 with a keeper - my Boss is a QPR season ticket holder, and advises that his lack of goals was the limitation on remaining a Championship player
For me Stockley is going backwards - he seems to have forgotten how to jump when challenging for the ball in midfield / final ball when jumping to do a flick on - his goal last home game of season, was a great goal running in and rising above the defender, but link up play is poor of late
Both are, however, better than Bonne (albeit for those of us there yesterday, I realise that is a challenging opinion)2 - Sponsored links:

No he hasnt... Washington and Bonne have both played in the ChampionshipCroydon said:

Washington has 13-goals | Bonne has 14-goals
Washington also has six International goals so could argue thats a higher level that the Championship.1 -
Depends who he has scored against. Northern Ireland v San Marino is certainly not above the Champ!ForeverAddickted said:

So yeah apart from Norway its debatable in terms of the Championship quality, the first two alone were only friendlies0 -
Yeah there is some awful international football, Ali Daei's record has only recently been beaten by Ronaldo. Your point was of course correct thouh, Washington has played and scored a few in the Champ.ForeverAddickted said:

Not having that. He has one of the worst first touches I have ever seen.Lordflashheart said:

Ipswich were head and shoulders above us yesterday. By a mile. Their most forward starting player was Bonne. He didn't score. He was not that good and I would not have him back ahead.of Stockley, Washington or Aneke.2

His last touch is not too good either, normally straight at the keeper.arny23394 said:

Bonne linked with a £1m move to Sheff Wed.1 -
So neither Sheffield paper know anything either & just throwing names around.
I wonder where they picked that old trick up from....😉🙂0 -
If he goes for 1 million pounds after scoring 12 goals in 46 appearances at League One level, I will eat my shoes.1
