Going going Bonne

[annie1954]

just wondered do people think it`s worth waiting for a Yes or No from Bonne or should they move on and look for a replacement ? personally i think he`s a hard worker on the pitch but don`t think he`s a regular goal scorer which is what`s needed

 

[SUFCTOM09]

Heart says keep, brain says don’t.

 

[Swiss Tony]

Fifty pence foot when shooting but a very good player who makes things happen, a must keep imo.

 

[RHB]

The romantic in me hope he stays and really comes good. The realist in me says move on to the next target before it's too late. I'm still not sure where my balance lies at the moment to be honest.

 

[Chrisb]

We will have offered what the club think he is worth, so it's up to MB - needs to be sorted one way or another asap though so both parties can move on.

 

[Chairman Trigg]

We can do better and need too as we need a consistent goalscorer.....will only be 30 mins subsitution at best on the evidence of last season

 

[EastYellowsNutter]

Wembley made my mind up when he missed controlled it and then fell over himself trying to take a shot, as much as I wanted him to be a success he's just not doing it.

 

[johnlattimerssponge]

It’s a no from me but either way it needs to be sorted ASAP.

 

[leeblue]

Thanks but goodbye.

 

[Taters123]

We need goals and cannot keep relying on same forwards to get them. So move on for me, as this is an area where we need more.

 

[shrimperjon]

If it’s between Bonne or one other I go for the one other as they can’t be any worse. Bonne brings a lot to the team in work ethic but games aren’t won on effort. If we have room for one more striker than I would rather thanks but no thanks to Bonne. Otherwise we will be starting the season with 4/5 of the shot shy team from last season with the untried Slav as the only addition.

 

[Callum]

We could do with a forward again on loan someone championship to league 2 level like we did with the Luton guy permanent signing striker even better

 

[Blue Streak]

Dragging on far too long. Obviously not desperate to sign for us so I say "go do one" and we move on. Sounds harsh but was recruited to score goals and didn't do it. No player is bigger than the club. I want players who are eager and proud to play for us. Yeah I appreciate he has a family and needs to support them but he's no James Vardy is he. .

 

[It'sGrimUpNorth]

I’d rather Bonne stay than Walker, that’s for sure.

 

[Barry.C]

Bonne no doubt has the experience with his agent of going through many a negotiation and probably has a very clear view of his own worth
If the deal is close maybe it’s that extra 5% that could push it over the line
However Cosu will have a clear budget perspective and I hope a firm deadline as others have intimated
For me his track record as a striker suggests deadline day is about up

 

[TheSouthendUnitedRunner]

Internally, there is a deadline set with Bonne, but it’s not as clear cut as everyone is making out.

For example, let’s say, for arguments sake, it’s the Spain trip. That makes sense to me and I’m sure it makes sense to everyone. What about if he sorts his stuff out, and after a bit more negotiations, we settle on a new deal the day they fly out. Do we say, sorry, the lads are already boarding, it’s too late?

It’s not purely down to financial reasons why a deal hasn’t been agreed between both parties. Kev wants Bonne to sign, Bonne is happy here, but everything has to be agreeable for both parties. There are other factors in play, not just the wages…

 

[JB Shrimper]

It's such a shame that out of all of our forwards, Bonne is the one out of contract. I would have him ahead of all the ones we have contracted!

 

[tommy tucker]

going or staying what ever it needs to be brought to an end We have brought in a striker Maybe he is an unknown fron the samr club as Leon .But what a great player and if the new man is as good then we may not need Bonne .

 

[sufc4life21]

I actually quite like him, admittedly he not the most prolific in front of goal but he does have the work rate and is prepared to put himself about which causes defenders problems. Would prefer to keep him over Hopper.

 

[Firestorm]

I am guessing that MB has not got anyone else sorted yet , and he is just dangling us there until he does .

If he does have someone lined up , maybe he is not signing as the extra month of the current contract is worth it (ie the new club is less than he is currently on but more than we offered) .

I suppose that at this level , every bit helps , and there will be the expense , possibly, of moving etc
