Would he be any better than Marriott or Waghorn though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparison is pretty hard with limited amounts of seeing him, but I'd say he is better fit than either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 He is the sort of player we would have spent £3m+ on a couple of seasons ago so for 1m he could be worth a go as i doubt it would be 1m upfront. Personally think we need another striker regardless of if Martin stays. We need a quick, strong, athletic type (mix of Martin, Marriott & Waghorn), not entirely sure if Bonne fits that mould as ive not seen enough of him to judge.

Will Hughes Hair Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Scored goals this season against Leeds, Fulham, Derby, Bristol City, West Brom, Sheff Weds, Bristol (again - twice), Brentford, Birmingham and Wigan.* All the teams in bold finished top half. He played in a relegated team. And virtually all those goals garnered points. None of those Britt Asombalonga consolation type goals. We definitely need to improve our forward line and I wouldn't be opposed to this deal at the right price. I'd view it as an upgrade on Mason Bennett. *When he scored against Wigan they were the form team in the league. So I've bolded them. So there.

DCFC1388 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I know most players look decent on a highlights reel but I like the way this breaks downdifferent parts of his game. Looks like our ideal type of striker, also at 24 he is at a good age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Trav Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Think its also worth mentioning he can play across the front 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love it, buy a player who scores for fun up front and stick them out on the right wing. Or the best one, Butterfield, a player a who was a great attacking midfielder for Huddersfield with a mean shot on him and a fair amount of goals to his name and we stick him in defensive mid and tell him to stop shooting.

Gritty Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I live in SE London and, because my son is a Charlton fan, the two of us are Charlton season ticket holders. Bonne has done very well given he was playing non- league last year. He has an eye for goal. But he's up and down and has missed quite a few chances post restart too. He's not a Martin replacement. He doesn't hold the ball up, rather he's more a poacher. He's ok. Wouldn't be someone I'd sign unless Marriott leaves and even then I'd rather we give JHI a go. If he signed, I don't think it'd be with a view to him starting. He's more a backup striker I reckon (he was for Charlton until Taylor gotb injured). Lyle Taylor is very good indeed at this level. He's who I'd go for (despite his antics when he refused to play). Strong, clever, and takes a penalty like you wouldn't believe. Arrogant (in a good way on field), winds opposition fans up. Character. Winner. Phillips (gk) is outstanding. He's not a sweeper keeper and we know cocu likes a ball playing gk. But as a stopper he's superb. Calm. Assured. Other player I'd be after is Nabby Sarr: ball playing CB. He takes risks (will attempt to nutmeg a player. That kind of thing) and leaves your heart in your mouth. But 19 times out of 20 they come off. He pings the ball deliciously. And he's an amazing finisher.

As posted elsewhere, I'm a Charlton season ticket holder. He's not that kind of player at all: He's not big: under 6 ft. He's not unusually strong. Linking up isn't his thing either He is good in the air. He's reasonably quick (not lightening fast), got good positional sense. When he plays on instinct he does well and has an eye for goal. When he has time to think his decision making lets him down a bit (or has done). As I said in my other post, I don't think he's someone Derby should really be looking at. If we get him, he'd be one for the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted we don't want to follow the Dad's Army route which Rowett took us down but I wouldn't exclude someone like Taylor because of his age. After all, West Broms' two top scorers this season have been Charlie Austin and Robson-Kanu, both 31 and they've helped their team get where we want to be.

And ask any West Brom fan, and they've been way sub par. If they had Dwight Gayle again they'd have been promoted weeks ago. Not that I'm claiming that's an age thing, but we have some experience as is, and it's youth revolution time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Personally, would rather see us go for someone like Moore. Bonne seems too similar in his playing style to Marriott. Not sure he'd fit the Cocu-model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
