Any news on Sichenje, Kelman, Edwards?

i hate the silence on injuries at times.

I saw Edwards training at Sparrows Lane on Saturday, my boy was playing there Brighton u16. Think I might have seen Alli as well, but didn't know who he was at the time

Running or with a ball?

Do we think there’s money there to buy two quality CMs, or are we scratching round for a freebie and a loan in that area to cover the two we need?

At this stage I'm feeling like we'll see one fee spent and another premier League loan for the middle of the park, but who can say with any confidence

It’s rapidly becoming quite a naive perspective, but my expectation would be around £8m of transfer spend remaining (minimum) and that we can drop that on two real upgrades in midfield.

He was running at the time, there were balls in the vicinity

DoctorCharlton

Surprised there's been no news/updates on Fevrier?

Would imagine we could get him and I for one would definitely have him back

Personally think the biggest upgrade we’ve made so far is switching to 4231 and actually having the players to do it now

Might as well be 631 after watching the Wimbledon game.

Danny Imray being tipped to join Wrexham for £5 Million. Gutted as I hoped he might be an option.

Is that realistic as we’ve just signed Alli?

I wouldn’t mind him coming back either but I think we’re ok now in the wide department, it’s the midfield that needs strengthening.

Charlton fan supposedly as well, but we aren't dropping 5m on a right back 😂. Good luck to him.

They said that Sichenje is very close , Kelman if no reaction should be available for Derby .. Edwards your looking at middle Sept/Oct 

I heard that Kelman had an operation on his shoulder, so could be September time.

That’s not what management team said after Saturday game … their  giving it time to settle down and heal … if still problems could lead to an operation but there hopeful it won’t

Where have Valley Locals "valuable" contributions gone?

What was the final straw?

I was thinking Kirk, Ben Reeves, McGrandles… And so on.

I think it was mainly Karl Robinson who was bigging up Ben Reeves. 

Charlie Kirk was indeed eagerly anticipated. Was he the biggest let-down in our club's history?

McGrandles has largely fulfilled expectations, just not with us.

Barry Endean will take some beating.

Wasn't able to effectively contribute to fish puns a few pages ago so he needed to go

That sounds risky to me, could easy pop again and then we are back to square one.

No plaice for people like that here

Any news on Lloyd Jones’ contract? Really don’t want to be spending some of whatever’s left on a new CB 

iaitch

Jones been offered a bigger contract, it's the same terms but printed on A1 paper instead of A4.

Alright don't get coarse on a forum for the public. I don't think you'll win a Pulitzer for filth.

I don't think a L1 signing can ever be anything close to the biggest let-down in our history. We signed players who were supposed to be helping us progress that set in motion our relegation from the Premier League into L1, Charlie Kirk doesn't even register on the disappointment-o-meter

Update is that he runs like a fridge

Dobson is not what we need. He was not a creative midfield player.

Does Dobson walk into this midfield? Of course he does and therefore is what we need. Need a winner in midfield and someone creative, those two planks in midfield offer very little

Karl Robinson believed Aaron Barnes (remember him? nice bloke actually) would play for England.

Wonder if Mark Kinsella and Graham Stuart still have their boots...

Planks? really, they are two players that have been great for us and always give 100%. Some might think we need better to progress, but I don't think comments like that are right. 

Coventry seems to have been turned into an awful player in some fan's eyes. I think people have short memories he only started putting poorer performances when the team did and think he was playing through injury.  I would not bin him off yet. 

cafc_se7

The work Coventry does massively goes unnoticed. He’s been a cracking player for us and like mentioned above, was absolutely holding his own in the championship up until his period of injury!
