Will give him a chance, think he will do okay. I have no doubts he is better than stockley is after his injury.14

Not pleased with this….not one bit!ForeverAddickted said:15 -
Out of the blue this signing, no one saw it coming.34

Its all been said already but I'm not happy about this one. At least its only a six month deal. In the extremely unlikely event that he and we click then fair enough but I'm not going to put any bets on it. Good luck to him. I have a feeling he's gonna need it. I hope I'm wrong.1

Fingers crossed he does well.
That video brings back memories of Covid and empty stadiums, was weird wasn't it?5 -
I seem to be in the minority, but I don't mind this as a deal to the end of the season. If it works out, great. If it doesn't we get rid.
Good deal IMO59 -
welcome back Mac .. you were underrated when you were here before .. make the underraters eat their humble pie .. all the very best18

Good, fine. Capable of scoring goals, can be a backup to Leaburn where needed, will probably score more than Stockley.I think the deal until the end of the season is the really interesting part to be hoenst. Could mean all sorts of things. Might mean we're hedging our bets and giving him a chance to prove himself after going through a period where he hasn't been scoring, might mean he's trying to put himself in the shop window because he still thinks he's able to play above this level, could be that we're looking to get in better than him in the summer if and when a takeover goes through, or could mean that there's no appetite to pay players much of anything beyond this current season where survivial is still the main aim. I guess we'll get an answer to which of those it is in the next window.1

looks like all our players leave with an elastic band tied to the

I will reserve judgment and comments until he has played 10 games, the same as I will do with any other signings.
We are fishing in a very shallow pool for players due to being a poorly run, average league one team so my expectations are low4 -
My only issue is that if he does well he'll just end up leaving us for a competitor because we have no money.
Any striker to help us get Stockley out of the door is a positive.0 -
Mixed feelings, but prepared to give him a chance to redeem himself.3
-
Not the most exciting signing, but provides a decent option upfront for the rest of this season. Would rather Bonne than Stockley or Aneke.1

The black box is a dustbin full of out of date Charlton calendars.42

I can't believe people are suggesting he replaces Stockley. The next striker we bring in surely replaces Stockley. If that is not the case we have learned nothing since the last window.9

"None of what I said in the past was ever meant to disrespect the club whatsoever. I am back here now to pick up from where I left off - scoring goals, making people and myself happy in football and that is very important.

Having 4 strikers is a bit much if we play with 1 up front. If Holden wants to swap to a 3-5-2 then yes we need another one but 4-3-3 seems to be our preferred formation right now.0 -
Our scouting network showing again just how far and wide our reach is.21

Here's hoping he can bang a few goals in.0

He’s back and will wear the shirt, so on that basis he gets my full support. He’s not Yann or Clive but he’s what we have.18

If Chuks is one of the 4 then we haven't got 4 strikers though, we've got 3.25, maybe 3.5 strikers at best. That's the problem, Chuks is great if he's fit and at least one of the others is fit so that he can make an impact as a sub. You can't use Chuks as your starting forward. Even if fit he just isn't psychologically able to play from the start. When he comes on as a sub it's like he knows he only has to survive X minutes and put his all in. When he starts he looks worried he's going to pull up injured at any moment.SELR_addicks said:

I agree. We need a striker, he needs a club. And if it does go to shit, he will be off in a few months anyway. The fact that realistically we're not going to do better than Bonne in terms of a striker is just the reality of the situation.Gravesend_Addick said:I seem to be in the minority, but I don't mind this as a deal to the end of the season.

Head turning signing this.4

Loving the fresh blonde look. He means business.6
-
The best bit of this deal is that it’s only to the end of the season, if he’s crap we can wave him bye bye.1
-
Not ideal but anything is better than Stockley at the moment. I presume he'll be down the road at Gillingham now.0
-
Happy with this given the current status with the clubs takeover/no takeover.
Signed until the end of the season which makes sense but I have faith in Holden and believe if Bonne has goals in him, Amanda will get them out of him.
He knows where the back of the net is and hoping he proves a lot of people wrong1 -
But but has he apologised?!2
