if we have paid that dough for him i will worry about Hamer
Hamer will still be number one. But Button might be a better challenger for Sullivan. I didn't mind Sullivan when he first came to us. I wish him all the luck, except against us.

Even £200,000 up front is a lot for a back up keeper. Southend just signed Paul Smith for nothing.
Yes and you get what you pay for.
Very true, I think we are just clutching At straws here, why all the negativity, hamer seems happy, playing well and getting regular footy, no teams have expressed an interest , should be more worried about stephens IMO
Well, it might just be that it's not all doom and gloom then. Heaven forbid that we actually do have some money. Nah, too positive for lil ol' Charlton and some of its supporters. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Perhaps our perceived lack of money is just a smokescreen so we can new players in without being charged a king's ransom. I like the signing of Button and to me it shows we are definitely trying to compete rather than survive in this league. The full picture will become apparent by Friday night I guess!
(n.b. - I do know that an electrician at The Valley wasn't paid for a couple of months so there certainly has been cash flow issues, just hope it isn't for too much longer)
To make any progress at this level you need two frontline keepers. I am sure Button has no intention of coming to us as a back up, he has come here to compete for the No1 job. Competition for places is a positive. Two options for every position is what Powell has been preaching from the outset. Whats the problem?
Did not see this one coming. I think we all agreed that another keeper would be required but I assumed it would be an experienced keeper at the other end of his career, maybe released on a free or minimal fees.
Good news = strengthened the squad Bad news = does this mean Hamers also off???

I'm going to put my rose tinted glasses on and hope we've found some investment from somewhere and we'll be signing Messi in he next 48 hours
I saw this tweet earlier and think it has the correct amount '0's but the decimal point is in the wrong place.
Surely if we had kept that 500,000 then we would not need to consider offers for Stephens or solly ?
Either we have tons of dosh (perhaps from a player sale), or one of our keepers is on the way out.

I would rather have saved 200k though
Makes sense with all these spuds players coming in.

I guess Powell thinking is that he's signed a rough diamond to polish and bring through, like he's doing with Hamer.
Keeps Benny on his toes, of course.
