Charlton Rumours Rumours Rumours - The Big Kahuna

He wanted to come too...BUT the apparent rumour is that as we got Tony Watt for peanuts, Liege wanted a decent sum for Bulot and Roland didnt want to pay it (but Rennes obviously were willing to do so).
Looks a bad decision in hindsight as does our reluctance to cough up the money needed to buy James Henry, now he's signed a new contract at Wolves. Failure to sign a good left winger on a perm or on loan has undoubtly cost us dear during Sept as we were close to looking like we could challenge for the playoffs had we had a bit more depth.1 -
We have nothing to fall back on, we can't bring a player off the bench like Derby brought on Tom Ince & Sir Darren Bent last week. Ipswich are a good model, buying experienced players relatively cheap, with no-egos! My friend is an Ipswich fan and said Jonathan Douglas (free from Brentford) is unbelievable!1

I'm not sure Derby is a good comparison, they're spending vast sums to get promotion, more than I would expect RD to cough up.tgarrat1 said:We have nothing to fall back on, we can't bring a player off the bench like Derby brought on Tom Ince & Sir Darren Bent last week.

Ipswich are a better model, more like Charlton under Curbishley really, buying cheap players with good character, and blending them with youngsters, paid for by the sale of Mings in the summer, though having said that they're only 6 points above us in the table0 -

I wasn't suggesting we are like Derby, simply that we don't have the resources / subs to impact a game! 6 points would have been beating Rotherham & Huddersfield (two awful sides, we made look average), which I would have taken at this point!killerandflash said:

I wonder, does that mean Sunday or does it sound like, after the international break?Henry Irving said:Simon Makienok @SimonMakienok 2h2 hours ago

Sad to say I would assume he means back in training so doubt we will see him Sunday. Rather have him back 100% fit than rush him back.ross1 said:

League One high-flyers Gillingham have agreed a deal to bring Charlton Athletic defender Harry Lennon back to the club on loan, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.1
-
With Obileye, Thomas out on loan why would we loan out another centre half? We would only have Diarra, Sarr and Baeur. Why would you leave yourself exposed like that? Whoever is making these decisions knows nothing about football.

I don't see this as a bad move. Gives Lennon some much needed competitive game time. Obviously Diarra, Bauer and Sarr are the first choice defenders, plus Fox can move into the middle if needed in an emergency, so can Cousins.ross1 said:League One high-flyers Gillingham have agreed a deal to bring Charlton Athletic defender Harry Lennon back to the club on loan, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

The 20-year-old academy graduate spent part of last season with the Gills, playing two games in League One http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/charlton-athletic-harry-lennon-loan-gillingham-2722914.aspx#QF4cfUt3CouHA1Lk.99 … #cafc
now confirmed on OS twitter.
Seems a good move for Harry but in an already thin squad seems an odd move for us.
Still, saves a few bob on wages so we get nearer to hitting budget and that is what matters.10 -
i'm guessing we can recall lennon at any time if we do have an injury/suspension0

Hopefully Sunday. He was in the video that the OS Twitter feed put out earlier of the team preparing for Sunday.ross1 said:

It is a great way of getting him match fit and if do have to recall he is ready to come straight in. Worth doing IMHO even without the wages.dickplumb said:With Obileye, Thomas out on loan why would we loan out another centre half? We would only have Diarra, Sarr and Baeur.

For those hoping one day we might tempt Scott Parker back, here is the reason it will not happen:
Quote from Fulham over Parker's ongoing injury problem
The club’s biggest wage earner at close to £75k-a-week found that not even the use of a state-of-the-art weight bearing treadmill got him over the line.0 - Sponsored links:

Given the paltry state of depth among our squad, and Lennon now going out, I am slightly annoyed RD doesn't sanction more loans.RedChaser said:

Out
Mak
Vetokele
Cellabos
2 of those are forwards, the other an option at the left wing spot that has caused headaches for a few seasons now. GL brought in McAleny, but I think he's started 1 game????
If he was good enough you imagine he'd have started more. He maybe, but my point is why are we loaning players who aren't good enough to start. It's all a bit bizarre.
Yes we couldn't have foreseen the injuries to Mak etc, but we could've seen at the start of the season the squad is too small.
Bergdich I now have reservations about along with Ba. JJ just isn't going to cut it on the pitch anymore (IMO). So we are up against it now. Yes we're over budget, I understand it is important for financial prudence etc, but a few loans? Is that really going to push us toward a financial precipice0 -

Depends on when the lock out period started, could have been during a non transfer window. Would you as owner risk a sale of a club for the transfer of one player?The Red Robin said:
