Winter-January 2026 Transfer Window Rumours ...(Final Day p213)
Comments
-
And you may well want to look at the previous five years if you think this is shit. The last time we were in this division we let Conor Callager go back to Chelsea in the January transfer window, pretty much sealing our return to Division one, although Lyle Taylor helped out with that task. We actually have achieved the highest position in the league since season 2015/16, ten years ago. It's about context, I've given you comparisons, which may give you an idea why some posters are seriously concerned about decisions made. There is normally a rational behind posters comments, take Golfie for instance, I certainly don't agree with everything he says but generally there is rational behind his comments and he genuinely loves the club, your comments are just slating everything for no reason, and criticism of clubs like Charlton are easy because of their status, pissing money and trying to compete against bigger and better clubs.As I've said. you turned up here in 2024, and have been slating the club ever since, seems to me you don't have experience of the above history, otherwise you'd be a lot more grounded in your posts.Berkshire1970 said:Bailey said:
Why don't you give it a rest, you have been here since 2024 and every post you put on here is negative bollocks, you're like a vulture waiting to pick over a corpse. I told you, you are not Golfie, if you have issues, then I'm sorry but why don't you try constructive criticism, instead of the continuous rant about how shitBerkshire1970 said:The championship we can’t compete. Especially with our owners! It’s going to be a tough watch getting relegated. We have a very poor squad & it’s no better now than before. I’ve forgotten what a quality, fit, championship Charlton player looks like. This window is boring to say the least unless of course we sell Mbick. League 1 is where we possibly should be.
You’ve got quite a high opinion of yourself! You shouldn’t cry like a baby if people’s opinions differ from your own.

Am I imagining it or wasn't there a quote from NJ somewhere saying we'd have to see what happens with Sichenje?6

“I want to challenge myself in the Championship. It’s a demanding league, and I believe I can make an impact here,” Sichenje said.
Either we've done a very good job of keeping a lid on it from our end (no ITK's, cawley, journos etc.) or a really well committed to joke.0 -
If athleticism is his best attribute he may be able to get by without being left footed… especially if he’s not expected to cover a marauding left wing back too often.Swisdom said:

Potentially. Listen, it wouldn't be the first time a right footer has had to play on the left, but it just feels like a big risk. We have seen the difficulty some have in jumping from League 1 to the Championship, so to go from Serbian Superlig to the Championship and be asked to play on your unnatural side... I just worry we are once again putting square pegs in round holes if that's the plan. Unless he is going to be the RCB - now or in the future - and we get a left footer in before the end of the window. Maybe I just need to be patient!Callumcafc said:

Curious why you think Jones won’t sign another contract with us? He signed his latest contract less than a year ago and since then has been promoted with us to The Championship.

It's a position where we are well stocked: Burke, Ramsay, Clarke, Coady, Jones with Gough and Mitchell as emergency cover. I know that every area can be improved but if we don't have much to spend, I don't see why this is the position we are targeting. Additionally, with the situation we are in, I don't know if this is the type of player (unproven, seemingly a bit erratic) we should be signing for the run in.
Most likely explanations: they just really, really rate him; Lloyd injury could be bad; there are some outgoings to come in that position; we are more willing to spend than we are letting on.I do wonder if we've given up on Burke a bit. The hope was he would come in and stay fit, or at least be managed carefully in game with Ramsay and Jones already excellent choices ahead of him. Ramsay has had his traditional injuries though and Burke has come in but not been able to avoid getting injured. On top of that, while he started well he's also started to look a bit ropey as a player. We were told we were getting a Premier League level defender who was slumming it with us because of his fitness record but I don't think he's looked much better than Gillesphey in recent appearances and he's slower than I thought possible. He was all over the shop for Derby's goal, he was nowhere near winning the header for Millwall's second and gifted them the third with a clumsy challenge for the penalty. If you're going to be constantly injured you have to at least be good when you play and currently he is not.In addition to that though, Lloyd Jones is 30 and I don't think will sign another contract with us. That means he's probably gone at the end of next season and Coady is only here until the end of this season. Ramsay is another one who I think we'll need to sell rather than let his contract run out. Sichenje is only 22 and hasn't played English football before, I think he'll be viewed as one for the future who is affordable at the moment but wouldn't be if we waited or would be picked up by someone else. Sometimes you have to buy for the future now.3 -
If we were to spend £1.9m on a player, should it be an untested in English football centre back rather than a centre mid?

A lot of very good points in what Gary says and your point is up there too Martin. I think it would be interesting to see what side Nathan Jones puts out in the next two games and I wonder if there has been a realisation that the current squad is not fit to survive in this league, this year or next, and the process of addressing that has started, but that's just me thinking in the positive.MartinCAFC said:

Looking at his YouTube clips i think you'd struggle to keep him in a set position! Looks all over the shop.Slimeworth_McTavish said:Should Collins sign, is there a lore reason why he couldn't play as LCB?4 -
I wonder if maybe we're looking at Ramsay at LCB until end of season if we cant get a left footer in or if Bell is close, plz no more Macca I can't take it6

This. I’m sure Coventry away after Bell went off injured Ramsay was moved into this position from the second half onwards.YannTheMann said:I wonder if maybe we're looking at Ramsay at LCB until end of season if we cant get a left footer in or if Bell is close, plz no more Macca I can't take it0 -
Maybe we’re selling Mbick or Ramsay so will sign permanents in both positions?Danny Addick said:If we were to spend £1.9m on a player, should it be an untested in English football centre back rather than a centre mid?1 -
I'd expect Ramsay is off if we get Collins2

Sorry to Labour the point Yann, but Gillesphey is fine as long as there is a wing back with pace and experience in front of him. Both the left or right centre back, work in tandem with the wing back and having right footers or people who are alien to the wing back position is a disaster.YannTheMann said:I wonder if maybe we're looking at Ramsay at LCB until end of season if we cant get a left footer in or if Bell is close, plz no more Macca I can't take it

Well, if Bell can stay fit - big if - then I'd be amazed if we are able to find someone better and in budget before the window shuts. But his track record shows that he will likely miss more games before the end of the season. So I can understand why they are tempted to go with what we have, but history would suggest we will have to start a number of games with Macca or playing someone out of position. Assuming no formation change.YannTheMann said:I wonder if maybe we're looking at Ramsay at LCB until end of season if we cant get a left footer in or if Bell is close, plz no more Macca I can't take it
The same issue exists with Chambers. I think it has to be our priority to get someone in who can cover the LCB/LWB positions. Like I said before, I will stay patient - it may still happen.0 -

Or Ramsay as first choice rcb and this guy as cover with Burke being moved on.MrBurns said:I'd expect Ramsay is off if we get Collins5 -
I just get the vibe from Jones that he gives his all on the pitch but isn't particularly married to the idea of being at Charlton or any specific club. I don't see that as a bad thing either, that's just how it is. He'll also be nearly 32 when his contract expires and I think even if someone came in for him now we wouldn't get an impressive fee. I think he'll get into the final year of his contract and even if we're in the Championship bigger teams will be able to offer him a really good final payday if he signs with them at the end of the season, just like Small and Bauer did (which means it will probably be Preston). Any Championship team would be happy to have Lloyd but not to pay a fee for him and unless we stay up and get another injection of money I don't think we'll ramp up his contract too much. It was easy enough to kick away Wycombe who aren't a particularly enticing club but now he's proven himself in the Championship there's potentially millions on the table for him compared the the contracts of L1 clubs. Of course his form might drop off or these injuries continue to pile up and he'll be hoping we renew him but if he carries on the way he has I just think there's a big final signing on fee and wage coming his way from someone else.MartinCAFC said:

Has the Boro Ramsay link been reported anywhere by Journos or is it something people are hearing with sources within the club? Wouldn't surprise me with them missing Callum Brittain currently with injury and Luke Ayling getting on.3

No middle ground with this one.
I'm predicting that he's either going to be total shit or he'll become a cult hero.18 -
I would love to agree but I genuinely think he's pretty pony, I think he seems a nice lad off the pitch and he did have a good game against Blackburn at home but it's not even just his pace for me, his positioning is god awful, he isn't a very strong marker and consistently let's his man get away from him, he doesn't do well when challenged by strikers in the air. The free kick at wembley has written him into Charlton history and he'll always have that, but being candid I think he would be average at League 2 level and probably good in the NL, even then I'm not confident.Bailey said:

I imagine with Collins its a case of get him in before anyone else does and hope he's good and develops.
I get the people saying we're already stacked in his position, but both Mitchells are unfancied at this level, Burke can't stay fit, Jones is seemingly half broken every game right now, Ramsay has 18 months on his contract and is a saleable asset, and Clarke and Coady aren't our players, so suddenly we could be in a position in the summer where we only have a couple of options for RCB and CB.
If he comes in and hits the ground running, we might have a real gem on our hands, and any signing in this division under £2m is seen as a pretty cheap punt, so it's worth the risk IMO15
