    It’s over a week old tweet so I’d be surprised seeing as he’s played for us since it was teeeted
    Maybe it was put on ice until we could get someone in? Now DanMac is here, he could be off, especially considering it sounds like our interested/communication with his started about a week ago

    "Kamara started playing in Norwich City's academy as a winger, moving to left back, then attacking midfielder, before finally settling as a striker"

    So he can basically play almost anywhere.
    I guess you could say he's a bit of a Kamara Chameleon.




    Sorry.

    Fair play, could be. Seems a bit risky to play him at Gills if something was close but I guess it could happen.

    The only thing on this thread that has excited me over the past few months is the unexpected mention of The Ukrainians.

    Wouldn’t expect to read about them on a music thread, let alone the transfer thread.

    They inspired me to sing Mary Hopkins’ ‘Those Were The Days’ at Karaoke in front of many Russians in a hotel in Goa back in 2008.

    What happened to the midfielder from Nice?
    Turns out he wasn’t very nice.

    Excellent. Although I’d expect you’d have heard if a new contract was to be signed…

    Unless we’re in the playoffs come Christmas, I expect this will be our last season of seeing Kayne in a Charlton shirt.

    I'd be surprised, if we mainly play 433/4231 this season, if we didn't keep Apter around as an option to play in his natural position. We coughed up over £2m for him 12 months ago, that's too big an investment for a club like us to throw away.
    If Apter is still struggling in January, then we might have to loan him out again, but I think he's worth keeping for the first half of the season.
    Apter is gash. No motivation. I doubt he will play for Charlton again.
    Our player on the month first month last season. He’s not ‘gash’
    It’s amazing how people hang on to a handful of games as opposed to the evidence of the next nine months. As it happens, if we play 4 at the back he may stay as a reserve winger. That is probably above his level but we will not be able to sell him, so there you are.
    He barely played after winning player of the month. What are you on about?

    He bqrely played for the League One team he was loaned to.

    If he doesn't go this window it means we're losing him on a free - so I'm not massively pleased, especially considering, bar his first 5 games, he was inconsistent at best last season.
  • Kayne Ramsay - as things stand, NOT expected to be leaving this window. 
    Is there a way we can temporarily rename the west stand to stjohnshill for the remainder of the transfer window, to honour his serivce to the club, well at least this forum.

    Great if true. Although you are generally right so that is good. Our defence looks good in both numbers and quality. Midfield next I hope.

    Do we think that means Jones and co believe they have enough funds to get in what they want this window? 
    Or
    They Are confident that Ramsay may sign a contract during the season based on signings and performances?

    Yea his confidence was shot, the Bolton manager said as much. Doesn't make him 'gash' though

    Steady on.
    He already has a station named after him.

    Sounds more like Ramsey isn't expected to go this window, but might be gone by next summer. 

    If Torino offer a decent enough deal tho, ie adds on, surely the board have to think about it this window. 


    Or perhaps CAFC would accept an offer of X but that has not been made or met. That’s not to say a club (Torino ?) might yet meet that figure in this window. That’s not expected by the club but still possible. If Kayne hasn’t put pen to paper by January then I’d expect his exit possibly in January for a nominal fee or walk in the summer. Torino must be aware that KR not signing a deal with us would mean they have competition for him next summer. If their interest is genuine it might persuade them to make a bid rather than take the chance of losing out. £6 million is laughable.

    My thoughts  on Ramsay are we’ve got six months to get him signed a contract or he’s off for free next summer and will start talking to clubs after Christmas

    He showed enough early promise to suggest he's worth sticking with. I don't know what system Bolton played but it was clear that with Charlton playing wing backs then he was not going to fit in the first eleven, because a wing back he aint. With the options that Nathan Jones now has at the back, a back four with McNamara as the right back would allow Apter to do what he is good at, attack, fingers crossed for him.

    They can sign him for nothing in January so can't see why they'd bid now unless they're absolutely desperate for a RB

    They played a 4231. 

    This isn't based on a huge amount of evidence but I think a lot of Apter's game is dependent on relationships. He was great in that first month in part because he was linking up with Sonny Carey again. He then had to drop back a bit more to be more defensively solid and that wasn't his game. He found it harder to link up with Carey and his lack of minutes meant the relationships hadn't formed elsewhere. At Tranmere, most of his goals and assist came after January and the same pattern happened at Blackpool too. 

    The issue is that he doesn't have time to build those relationships on the pitch now. His minutes will be limited as I expect if he stays he'll be coming off the bench. I haven't given up on him yet as there's clearly quality in there but unlocking it is a tricky task

    I think in these situations the only way a team pays a decent fee are if they are concerned that other teams will get in front of them when it comes to January and he can talk to any European side. 

    Torino have actually spent quite a lot over the last few years in comparison to other Italian sides so they may see a 2-3m outlay as worth it to secure his signature if he’s their main target, I agree 6m seems way too high.
