Top work, Henry.0

Need a striker0
-
Need to pin down some of those 2012 contracts - or recoup.

Jordan Cousins isn't a midfielder is he?0
-
He's both a holding midfielder and centre back so he fits in just grand where he's been placed.0
-
And a right back. Much more of a defender than a midfielder.0

Would be good to get Jackson and BWP down for a extra year would really strengthen us as a team building for the future.
But there's more important things right now.0 -
Many thanks Henry0

Cheers henners doing a grande job matey! defo looks like we need a striker or 2, also RB but coming together
Roll on new season COYR

Gives you a different prespective when looking at that.
Now I would hope we sign a stirker or two along with a centre half.

If you put aside the "development players" we have:
2 Keepers with league experience
6 defenders with league experience (not counting Youga or Dailly)
7 midfielders with league experience (including McCormack but not Harriot)
3 Strikers with league experience
That's just 18 players.
OK a lot of teams in this league would die for the squad we have now but strip the kids and non-league players out and we have enough, just, for a match day squad.
And that's assuming no else leaves, gets injured or suspended.
Still need another two defenders and a striker IMHO

We still look weak in the Centre-back position. Would be happy getting a 'young buck' in on loan to play up front.

Fair comment Henners, but the squad building isn't yet complete and having a couple of kids in the match day squad/on the bench will be good for their experience.
Am I right in thinking that CP was talking about a 25 man squad for next season? Add Gough as third gk (I don't see any point in getting a third experienced keeper in unless an injury hits one or both of Sullivan or Elliot), and we aren't that far off.

I thought that at the end of last season Chris Powell was insistent that Jon Fortune be given a contract rather than being abandoned with an injury. Anybody any idea if/why this (over?)-generous idea has changed?0
-
(over?)-generous
Maybe that was the board's view of it too.

I don't think CP said anything about giving him a contract, more like they wouldn't abandon him, and they'd help him to get fit again is all.0

Presumably because he's still being paid - although the contract expired at the end of June there is an extra month on top - asort of severance pay. I presume he'll get something that kicks in on August 1st.0 -
There will still be a couple of loan signings coming in but it was reported on a different thread that these typically take place towards the end of the window - in fairness it's only the beginning of July and we've done a lot of business already - I'd doubt many other teams have brought in as many players as us at this stage.0
-
Still need two CH, a striker and if Francis goes another RB.0
-
Sad about Forch leaving.

Is it only me, or are other people gutted Miguel is leaving?! I know he had his off days and when he played bad, he played BAD, but most of the time I thought he was solid enough. Would've been great backup with great teckers who I think was very harshly treated suring his time with us.0
-
yeah mate agree - seemed to always care and genuinely gave 100 pct - plus the odd goal .....0
-
Only player who could take a free kick last season too...0

I was more gutted at who's staying. I mean McOxo! Please ANY club make an offer, we'll take it.
Starting bid 99p?0 -

The problem is I can't see him getting offered a contract that's anywhere near what he was paid by Charlton, so why agree to a transfer?0 -
offer him a settlement on his current contract so that he can go elsewhere and not lose out financially but we'd still get some wages off our books for a player who will never play for us again anywayI was more gutted at who's staying.

He might take a lower wage but a longer contract. One year at CAFC reserves or three years in someones first team.0
-
Llera tried hard but he was a liability - even at this level which is saying something.Didn't go to many games last season due to personal circumstances but Bournemouth away was one of those I did make and though he gave 100% he was a disaster waiting to happen from the first minutes.Twice allowed a regulation long ball to bounce for no reason which would have led to goals for them had they possessed a half-decent front man.0
-
Also despite his height, an obsession with some here, he was totally outplayed by Holt up at Narwch last season when we chucked a 2 goal lead realised then that he doesn't have the physical strength required at this level0
-
"....... realised then that he doesn't have the physical strength required at this level."
But he's played for years at this level, once in a promotion winning side, and a while back a season in the Championship.
