FFS 100 posts since this post and not a single question about your grandson’s haircut…I’m interested @superdulvertonred . Tell me more.superdulvertonred said:My 18 year old grandson has just had his hair cut in New Eltham and also there was a as yet unannounced new signing also getting his hair cut! He didn’t ask his name but he told the barber that he had just signed. I know that several of the players use this barber so let’s wait and see who it is. My grandson said it wasn’t Karlan Grant2 -

Disappointing that Desmond failed his medical1

Grant left us half way through 18/19 and played in the Championship for 6 seasons and the PL for 1.5 and will be 29 in a few months. As long his attitude and fitness are up to it he’s got to add something hasn’t he? I’d expect him to give us competition out wide and up front, something we need. I’m not convinced Olaofe will turn things around with us, and I don’t think we’ll gamble on Kanu being a better bet

Let’s hope we can move some on.Mitchell and Kanu I expect will find homes easily enough. Kanu knows he needs to establish himself after a series of loans and I expect he’ll want to get it done sooner rather than later. Shame Mitchell never worked out, but he’s good league One pedigree
Hopefully Blackpool can come to an agreement with Anderson, or there’s another league one club that fancies him
i think we’re pretty screwed with Olaofe and Apter and it may be that we’re subsidizing their wages.Dixon is another one we have to chalk up to being a wasted signing, but surely he can’t be on the highest wage.Going to be an important couple of weeks0 -
I'm more concerned why an 18 year old couldn't manage to access the camera on his iphone !!KiwiValley said:

Olaofe cannot play as a winger, he doesn’t do the defensive stuff. Don’t think he’ll be playing for us this seasonMartinCAFC said:
Agree think Kanu moves on but think we need to take Campbell and Olaofe out of the thinking of being a striker. At least through the middle anyway. Not in the same bracket as Godden, Leaburn, Kelman and Mbick.sam3110 said:I can't imagine Kanu will stay, a loan is far better for his development, staying here right now he's maybe 5th or 6th choice at best, behind Godden, Leaburn, Kelman, any new striker we sign, and maybe even Olaofe, Campbell and Mbick when he's fit1 -

Well if ever there was any other evidence we bought some total guff last year... Can we sell them as bait?0

1 in 1 out might make this a very very slow window. I wonder if the owners will tell NJ he has to stick with Apter and Olafe as he only bought them last season.I’d be furious if it was my money that had been wasted like that.5

I think a few moves like Ballard and Tolaj will happen soon and that will trigger things all across the leagues.1

If they expected every expensive signing to go well then they were very naive in the first place.

Olaofe was what £1.5m? Apter rumoured at £2m+. That’s really not much in the grand scheme of things and the money the owners have put into the club over the past few yearsAberystwythAddick said:

Look at any championship club and they’ll have signed players for more that have flopped. I’m sure we will have more flops in future years if we stay at this level. I know we aren’t used to spending money so it maybe feels worse to us, but this is normal and if the owners have a huge problem with it then they probably shouldn’t own a championship football club19 -

Other clubs are irrelevant in this situation. So are hypotheticals on what we could spend.NabySarr said:

Certainly the two most expensive of the owners tenure. The money was paid because they were told that these were the players we needed to progress. 6 months later those players are back in league one, 12 months later we are seemingly trying to either sell them or loan them out again.That’s is unacceptable, there’s no spin you can put on it that changes that.We have one of the lowest budgets in the league those fees were huge for us.9 -
Signing or singingCB1 said:Come on then @stjohnshill enlighten us all on this barber shop signing. 😂

We need to bring in signings asap if possible irrespective of letting whoever go or we risk missing out on targets. I'm sure loaning out/selling players before the end of the window will be easier the later into the window we get whereas our targets will be getting a nice pre season with their new clubs.golfaddick said:
I wonder if we need to let some go before we bring in some players & hence why no signings lately.CafcSteve said:Heard a few whispers about there hardly being any interest in some of the players we’re trying to loan out and sell.
The likes of Apter & Tanto only attracting interest from League Two clubs who aren’t willing to pay any wages.
If so we might have to take a haircut (see what I did there) on a few like Tanto & Apter just so we start the season with the players we want.1 -
I'd be even more furious if we got relegated with players like that in our squad.AberystwythAddick said:1 in 1 out might make this a very very slow window.

Have you seen them play recently? Well few have because they could not get games for us or in League One. They are not Champ level. If we have a squad with players like them in we will get relegated for sureElfsborgAddick said:AberystwythAddick said:1 in 1 out might make this a very very slow window.

Maybe the owners don't trust NJ with their money. What would you do if your employee came to you this summer & said "boss, we need another 5 or 6 players as the current ones are no good"..?. Would you hand over another £10m and say..." here you are, spunk that lot up the wall" Or would you question why those players are no good & what the manager was going to do about it ?charltonbob said:

Perhaps he should try rugby? Same goes for Knibbs. No technical ability is required for rugby. It is just a tarted-up version of British Bulldogs.AberystwythAddick said:Tanto has the physical attributes to thrive at the level just lacks the technical ability.

A West Brom fan’s view on Grant 2 months ago
Grant is one of the best forwards in the league for ball recoveries in the final third, successful dribbles per 90 and touches in the opposition box. He is also very rarely dribbled past.
In short, Grant is a wide man who works very hard, advances his team up the pitch, presses opposition defenders and looks after his full-back.
While these are not the things that will always catch the eye of spectators, trust me when I tell you that coaches and managers notice and value them.

It's looking like Grant is a done deal.
Surely Grant and Redmond can't have been priority targets at the start of the summer, I wonder what's happened.0
