Has some attributes to like, he clearly is v.good at stoppages, and is great at swinging those ginormous arms free to lay the ball off
I wonder if his left foot has the potential to become elite = others who have seen more may have a more informed opinion
We did a terrific job last year developing Jackson Macrae, and if we can add similar weight to Bonto whilst keeping him moving well, and learning then I'll be delighted
Just watching his highlights reel, SUPER excited with this selection, very happy.
Seems like everyone is deemed similar to Pendlebury.....but you can definitely see Pendles-like traits in Bonts.

I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
I'll start by learning how to spell his name.
Welcome to the club Bonts! Very happy to have you.

Some of his forward handball work is pretty good from his highlights.
I'm happy enough with the selection. All of the picks to me this year seemed pretty even against each other, meaning it's really up to the experts who test these guys and watch them all year to figure out the small differences they bring to the table.
Welcome Bonts, may you turn into the lovechild of Pendlebury and Kouta within your first year, and dominate under erroneous supporter expectations from your very first day at the club.
Pretty pleased ( but then again everyone is)
Fuller looks ready made with that thumping left foot kick
Honeychurch reminds me of Dahlhaus
Bontempelli sounds a very level headed kid with a truckload of dare I say it, upside.
Welcome aboard Marcus, here's hoping that he can have a long career with us and become a damaging midfielder who can hurt opposition sides on the scoreboard too.
Do others think he'll get much game time in the early part of next season or will he take a little bit longer to crack a senior game?

Interesting, thanks BAD. I wonder if he plays off a back flank initially or if we look to throw him right in the middle. Going to be great to see how we can develop him.
