Bonne 18:31 - Nov 17 with 7458 views | Jambo | Has anyone on here heard that we’ve offered QPR £2.5 million for him prior to January transfer window as a “take it or leave it “ arrangement. Serious statement of intent if true |  | | |  |

Bonne on 08:31 - Nov 18 by itfcjoe | I can't imagine it'll cost anything like that to get him here - somewhere arounf half is more realistic for a 26 year old striker in League 1 |
Agree. Imagine it'll be something like 750-1m with a top up on promotion over the term of the contract he signs. |  | |  |

I wonder if there are ant remaining instalments from the Dozzell transfer... perhaps we would waive those or agree to remove any sell on clause. |  |

Bonne on 10:05 - Nov 18 with 1824 views | clive_baker | Sounds a lot, but equally it wouldn't surprise me if QPR command a decent amount for him given the circumstances. He's got a year left on his contract, so from their perspective they would get another opportunity to sell him in the summer, and he's only 26. There obviously comes a point where they'll sell him, but the alternative for them is he goes back in form and potentially contributes to thier season which so far is going well. If he comes off the bench and scores 1 big playoff goal or something then how valuable is that, and they can still sell him in the summer. He's got a lot of competition there though, and his record for QPR is poor, so ultimately it depends on how Warburton views him, whether he's open to him coming back or has very much written him off. My guess is it'll be 7 figures, for sure. Somewhere between 1m and 1.5m but no doubt will include various top ups depending on resale & promotion and what not. |  |

Bonne on 21:31 - Nov 17 by Oldboy | Even if Bonne goes back, we should still be off loading Norwood & Jackson. Norwood doesn't deserve our loyalty and Jackson is just cr@p. Hopefully a deal can be done, but if not, I am sure Cook will have his eye on someone else. |
Get Bonne in, get rid of Jackson, Nolan and Norwood. Wonder if we will be looking at Cole Stockton from Morecambe? |  |

Bonne on 08:16 - Nov 18 by Sparky85 | Isn't it a 3 way loan recall agreement? Has to be agreed by QPR, Ipswich and Bonne himself? I did speak to someone who knows the Bonne family and they reckon the deal is already done. Some crazy figures being banded about though so I am a little sceptical. If I was MB and had a say in this, I would look to structure and agreement now, but for a perm transfer at the end of the season 'if' we can promoted. I know he loves the club but can't see him wanting to be here next year if we are still in L1 Either way, I really do hope he is here until at least the end of the current season |
My mates daughter was down the shops and she overheard two women saying that one of their sons was told by his builder mates brother exactly the same, so must be legit. |  | |  |

No chance. Football finances are in tatters post covid - especially in the Championship. He's 26 years old and has had a good third of a season in L1. They would be very happy to get 1-1.5m imo...although I suspect he may even go for less than that... |  | |  |
Bonne on 20:12 - Nov 18 with 1563 views | jas0999 | Very unlikely. We wouldn’t pay that at league one level. Great start, but a few games without a goal. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

You expect him to score every game. That will cost closer to 200 M. |  | |  |
Bonne on 20:17 - Nov 18 with 1544 views | NickITFC | I would be surprised if we paid much more than 500k for him based on Ashton's work in the summer window. Certainly doesn't overpay!!! |  | |  |

They can look all they want, they won't find it. They paid that for him to play in the Championship so they won't be expecting it given he hasn't been all that great in the Championship. |  |

And it's 2 games without a goal. He scored at Wycombe, and hasn't played in 2 of the 4 games since. 11 in the league already, in 14 starts. Ridiculous return and it's not just his goals either, his workrate, touch, ability with both feet is there for all to see. He's quality and the thing I like most about him is he has a maturity and intelligence about his play. The biggest frustration with watching us under Lambert was what I can only describe as an immiturity or a petulance about us that was evident in a large chunk of the side. Bonne is so refreshing to watch, it's felt like forever ago that we had someone of his quality leading the line. |  |

Bonne on 00:48 - Nov 18 by loftboy | Although undisclosed it is believed we paid Charlton a smidgeon under £2 million, I would have thought we wouldn’t let him leave without making a profit especially how he has performed this season. |
You can't expect to make a profit or even recoup what you paid, given the price was a Championship club paying that figure pre covid. Finances have changed dramatically since and he's playing in a lower league, the only way you would make a profit is if a Prem club came in. I expect he will be sold for £1m £1.5 max in this current environment. |  |

What would be the point in getting Stockton if we don't even manage to give minutes to Pigott in this formation? His scoring record is historically rubbish as well. He's got 28 in 84 games for Morecombe and has basically never scored much for any other teams (he's 27). His overall goalscoring record is worse than Jacksons, he's just had a very good start to this season. SB |  | |  |

Indeed, he goes completely against the grain of the clubs transfer policy plans. |  |

Indeed, hugely unrealistic to expect they're going to get over £2m for their fourth choice striker, who they signed to play in the Championship and deemed not good enough to do so for them. He's a year older, a year nearer to the end of his contract, and a few goals in League 1 isn't going to override all of that and make him a £2m plus player, especially in the post Covid market. |  |

They know we want him and have a few quid in the bank. They will expect more from us because of those 2 reasons. About £1.5M should get him. I have no idea what wage he would want. |  | |  |

Player doesn’t have to accept that offer though does he? |  |

Indeed, Bonne has over a year left on his QPR contract. They might want to recall him in January as an impact sub & I guess he would have little say in that. QPR also might want to cash out & sell him to Town or other bidders as they could recoup most of the £2m or so they paid Charlton. However, Bonne himself would have to agree to any permanent transfer. |  |

As lots of people have said in the thread, there's no way they'll recoup most of the £2m or so they paid Charlton. |  |

A 26 year old who has scored plenty of goals in league 1 & done reasonably well with limited opportunities in the Championship? No, they won;t get their £2m back, but should get £1m+. |  |
