| George Thomas and Macauley Bonne - keep or move on ?? 08:04 - Jan 7 with 11009 views | numptydumpty |
With January window upon us, what people think about these two ....
Thomas can show in small cameos, some qualities and given Chair not here for period, my personal view, give him a go.
Bonne, clearly done well in league one, another one who never given much of an opportunity here also.
I think we personally will make a decision to not have either for rest if season.
Bonne heart where he is right now and it's true he very likely be on the jaffa cake bench here at best.
Thomas also been competing against Willock and Chair so very difficult but if we did get short or long term replacements who we going get ie they will know in all likelihood they won't get massive opportunities here this season.
Willock and Chair in one position and Dykes, Gray and Austin in other.
To me both kind of at the moment are potential Connor Washington types ie look decent at times, and definitely try hard, but will the regular long term results be there.
Obviously though if we are going for promotion, they both probably not quite up to that but who would we have as replacements.
I would be very surprised in this window, we could attract much better potential players than these two.
What do people think ???

I'm quite conflicted about Thomas and, although I don't think he's quite up to the standard we need, I like him because he's such a trier. He did do well yesterday but that was against a tired Coventry side that had run itself into the ground by the time he came on. There have been quite a few other times he's not looked so good.
Wouldn't it be better to let him go out on loan for the rest of the season to get decent game time and reassess him? I think Amos c.ould perform the role he played yesterday with as much success and a bit more quality |  | | |

GT is too old to go out on loan, he knows the game by now......a decision will be made soon on his future. He has been disappointing, not done much to excite.
I think he will be released/sold, whatsoever - we need better. |  | | |

I think it depends which division we’re in (can’t believe I’m saying that), useful squad player in the Championship.
Not sure when his contract is up. | | | |

He's looked more a Yeni/Conor type up to now. Not seen anything to say he's a future Jamie Mackie for me. |  |

Age has nothing to do with player loans. Bonne, on loan at Ipswich, is 26. Gray, on loan to us, is 30. Thomas is 24. | | | |

I think it does generally.....Gray is on loan to us because he is not wanted - end of career, Bonne is on loan because he is not wanted here, I doubt if he will ever play for us again......Thomas is rather different, the jury is out I would suggest, he would not be going out on loan to improve himself. | | | |

If he went out on loan it would be to get regular game time, something he hasn't had for a few years, and show what he can do, what made us take him in the first place. | | | |

He's only 24.
Loans aren't just for development. We've got a player who's lack minutes and consistency - sending him out for a couple of months to sharpen up isn't the worst idea I've ever heard |  | | |

Maybe Thomas doesn't get into the starting 11 but I believe he's a good squad player. We need backups, we need players to come off the bench to add some energy when needed and showed he can do that on Saturday. He seems like a good lad and hopefully one day he can prove himself to everyone.
We've had a lot worse than George. Some people are much too quick to write players off. [Post edited 24 Jan 2022 11:08]

"Some people are much too quick to write players off."
Hmm. Can't think who you mean? Probably the same people who were booing Paul Furlong after a slow start to his QPR career. |  | | |

Very good point. I always liked Bonne and have felt he's had a rough deal here. However, I can see him moving on a perm to Ipswich because he is to them what Albert is to us. Thomas is a curious one. Like Dozzell he needs minutes on the pitch. He strikes me as a Holloway type player in the making but needs to put on weight and put himself about a bit more. |  |

We'd be four points and two places worse off without Bonne's three goals this season. Let's not Connor Washington him out of history. |  | | |

The trouble for George Thomas is the lack of clarity on which role he plays in the midfield, we know he is no wing back, but he does seem suited to offering an attacking midfield role late in games, buzzing around tired defenders, as seen on Saturday. Think his early injury problem at QPR stunted his chances of establishing himself, although I think Warbs always saw him as a squad player. I would not loan him out for rest of the season we need to keep a strong squad for the run in and I have an optimistic feeling he might start to get a goal or two soon.
Unlikely we will see Bonne back in a Rangers shirt his future is elsewhere. [Post edited 24 Jan 2022 15:05]

QPR have mangled Baz's brain. Could happen to any of us. |  |

Or Baz is the only one who truly understands the multiverse. (Besides my kid, but I think he's pretending.)
I do hope Thomas finds his role during this window of opportunity. |  | | |

I think you've done what I did a few weeks ago and got this season mixed up with last season.
Easily done with all this covid nonsense. I don't even know what year it is |  |

Thomas is one of those players who would become good if he had a run in the team I think. Also one of those where he just needs a goal or two to give him some confidence.
Bonne, I would have recalled him in a flash two months ago, but gone q bit quiet compared to his explosive start for the tractor boy. | | | |
