    I reckon it’s all silent as the club are not sure where they stand yet with obtaining a squad place. Broken contract with Ouma? Apters long term injury? Surely they need to find a squad space before offering anything. I’m sure both club and player want to get something agreed but restrictions are in place.

    I'm a fan of March but if we have a slot available maybe we should be looking at CM instead? That's the area we are weakest and where a decent signing could make the most difference. 

    No idea if there is anyone out there tho...
    This is my thought. We are desperate for quality in CM
    Also desperate for a quality RW March is better than nothing and ironically unless we think Aribo has the legs/fitness/defensive ability to play in that midfield 2 Docherty is probably the best next midfield free agent

    Yeah fair enough. Couldn't Grant play on the right and we sign a CM though? Or an AM even, so Grant can go out wide. 
  • I wonder how short, short term is, January? End of season? 

    It doesn’t seem like he’s played any under 21 games so he will be well off match fitness.

    Probably end of Jan. Would be very surprised in a good way if it's End Of The Season

    Solly has a long record of various injuries going back more than 10 years. However, most opinions agree that on his day he was a very good footballer. He sounds to me like another Chalobah
    Question is, do we need another injury prone player who also lacks match fitness ? .. I think not.
    Solly March will not drag us out of the mire we're gradually sinking into, we don't need another player offering us false hopes of a quick revival
    Sad to say, we have to go with the squad we have for another 2 months, until the January 'window'

    or he's actually fit and we get 5/6 decent games out of him between now and Jan and then look to fill the massive RW gap we currently posses. Literally nothing ventured nothing gained, offering him a multi year contract then i could understand your viewpoint but we have no options on the RW at all other than an untried Nkeng, who doesn't look like even stars for the u21s

    End of January makes more sense just to make sure he's fully fit.
    If he is we can always extend it.

    Fits the bill perfectly then.

    It’ll take him to January to get fit.

    He's been training with us for a while supposedly, could easily have taken part in the BCD game during the international break.

    And to be honest, even if he's just an option for 30 minutes off the bench that would be an improvement

    Until he's injured and out for the season, so about three games?

    Definitely be just till January. Then we can take a view whether he’s worth a squad spot from January onwards or whether we’d like to bring in someone else

    An injured March would still look better on the pitch than a fully fit Alli

    We have fully fit wingers in Alli & Nkeng who could do that. No need to wait for a player to get match fit & then could break down at any moment. 

    Prefer to stick with what we have than go down the broken toy route.

    Alli hasn’t done anything positive in a Charlton shirt yet.

    has he beat a full back yet?
    has he put in a decent cross yet?
    has he missed a sitter from 6 yards?

    unfortunately, the only yes to those questions is the last one

    Another short term contract to hopefully get us over the line till January and reassess. Still don't understand how he will get a squad place. I've never known the EFL allowing short term contracts to replace injured outfield players outside of transfer windows

    How many Premier League appearances do Nkeng and Alli have between them? 

    Obviously its a risk but his technical quality will be the highest in the squad by a mile

    After the Hernandez and Roussilon debacle I'm not that optimistic. However he was supposedly going to be offered a new deal at Brighton before a  change in the middle management and he wasn't. Then took himself off to the middle east to train and has been with us training for 3 weeks. In his day he was class, who knows.

    Has a great prem record, seasoned prem experience. 
    Even if he stays fit for only a handful of games, that could the points we need to stay up.

    same with chalobah, as was coady. However there is too much talk that chalobah should be first on the team sheet, its not going to happen, still need to recruit. He is a back up or we are in trouble

    Got the assist for Grant’s goal when we beat Preston 1-0.

    He is (or at least recently was) a way better player than them though. Still a punt but one with a potentially big upside.

    Alli put in a good cross from the left for a bullet header from Carey which the Cheltenham keeper pulled off an excellent save. He has been hit or miss but that is most wide players.

    For wingers to be effective they need a good supply of passes with just one defender to take on.
    As we have found with TC over the last 3 or 4 matches, Tyreece is double marked as we don't have enough players getting forward to link up.
