Breaking News Retained/Released list - Wood and Waldron released

[Mad Cyril]

The issue with Bonne is he has actually had the chances to score around 10 goals but time and time again he misses great chances. He was also very lucky with his penalty at Forest Green as it only went in off the keepers back. The club can 100% do better with the money he’s on.

What sort of money do people think our team are on?

Oldham just released their list, so I'd expect ours to follow today.

Macauley Bonne is already on holiday in Tanzania according to his insta, so I guess we can assume the meeting with him has already happened.

By coincidence, the Tanzania Tourist Board is one of our company's many local clients. In fact, we are in Arusha today exhibiting at Kilifair.

Did his pen hit the keeper? Thought it just hit the post and in.

I think it hit the post, then bounced off the keeper's back into the net. Who cares, they all count!

I’m pretty sure Bonne’s penalty went in off the post and didn’t touch the keeper.

 

[Hadleigh-shrimper]

when’s it being released?

As with all things SUFC the drum roll goes on for ages and is generally followed by an anticlimactic firework display, best described as a damp squib. Exciting isn't it?

I don’t think they do count in a penalty shootout if it comes out and hits the keeper

@Mick will know

Anyway this one went in off the post.

As per Law 10: Determining the Outcome of a Match: "The kick is completed when the ball stops moving, goes out of play or the referee stops play for any offence; the kicker may not play the ball a second time."

I also believe Ralph has triggered an extension, so just Wood, Waldron & Bonne’s deal expiring.

Bonne is the only one up for debate. Wood & Waldron are goners. I can see pros and cons for Bonne staying and going. What doesn’t help him is he is the only striker (bar Waldron who hasn’t been in contention for ages) that’s deal expires. Would have been interesting what they’d do if, say, Walker & Hooper’s deals were up at the same time.

We have 4x strikers. If we're NOT releasing Bonne does that mean we're running with 5 next season? Seems a bit much.

We use 4 forwards a match. 5 is therefore the minimum we could try and get away with.

I would look to keep Bonne, given a proper pre season and a chance to bag some goals in warm up matches should give him some confidence. If he hits a rich vein of form he could terrorise this league with the right support.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Bonne is a great player to have around other players, he has bags of experience, the younger players can learn so much from him.
I'd love to see him used wide in a 3 up front scenario. His wing play is really good and with a full pre season I really think he could be an important player for us next season

I would love to keep Bonne, he turned a page in the run in / play offs.

There's a reason QPR paid £2 million for him once upon a time.

Did he, how many goals did he score. That chance he messed up at Wembley when it was 2-1 may have cost us promotion. If we are pinning our goes on Hopper and Bonne as part of our strike force then I’d question our recruitment. I’d take one or the other and as Hopper is under contract I’d expect Bonne to leave. Not that I don’t like him, just would hope we can do better

 

[SS9_Shrimper]

A day ago Bonne’s wife commented on his post saying “we go again next season”, so something must be planned to be on the table for him.

QPR did indeed but my QPR season ticket holder mate reckons he was a total waste of money.
