Sensible signing. It's not impossible that he'll make the step up and if he doesn't then he's proven at Championship level, won't cost much and won't be on a high wage for if (when) they go down
Perfect signing for them, might not be ready for the Prem as yet but will develope and when they get relegated he will score for fun again at this level. Livewire striker, quick and with a decent finish.
charlton transfer rumours and actuals might be very very thin on the ground but the Palarse rumours should go into the "who gives a flying f**k" thread
I dont like the palars threads popping up but dont mind in this thread any transfers really as its better then 70 + posts of nothing or people attempting to be funny
apologise if seem moody, bad day at work but still factual and my opinion
The only depressing feature is if all the squad assembly shenanigans somehow has a detrimental effect on the position of Powell, Dyer and Matthew.
If we have to cut our cloth accordingly then we can make it as positive as possible. A smaller close knit band of brothers, underdogs up against the millionaires, youth players given a go, and maybe progressing faster than others in their generation. We finished ninth last season, with significant spells of absent stars like Yann and Wiggy.
The absolute most important thing is that we survive, and avoid administration, if we survive relegation too then job done. It seems like we are financially lurching from pillar to post, season ticket money here, awaiting TV money there, selling plaques, trimming wages, looking for gate income and so on. It is probably the same at many clubs such as Barnsley or Burnley.
In that context every player is up for sale, and every cost must be controlled. Our (the fans) job is to get real, and get really behind the boys to help them make a little go a long way.
Good post Seth, it is the not knowing about our true financial state that gets to me. In my fifty two years of watching Charlton we have never really had any money. But I yearn for the days when the Club were more transparent. The aim is to get to the Premiership and I feel that with a little bit of investment from Cash we could build on last Season and have a go for the play offs.
the aim, apparently, the PL. Investment doesn't seem forthcoming. Meanwhile Slater will be funding the Club with 1 million a month. I can see it all ending in tears.
dick I wish we were minted too. However if we have to manage with what we have then I can handle that. Like you, with your 52 years under your belt, I am not inclined to be a quitter. BUT If the owners get silly with Powell and his team, then there ought to be ructions.
Look at the window another way; we haven't sold anyone
Not 1st July yet.
that hasn't stopped a lot of Clubs. The window is a load of old bull. You can sell a player BUT they can't play for the new Club until the window opens. So, to clarify, you can sell before 1st July.

It's painful enough knowing that Palarse are in the Prem next season.
@in' great they are.
