If true, the fact that he had to stand his ground speaks volumes.daveydanger said:

Slade needs to walk. He's been lied to just like the rest of us. They don't want to spend anything. I'm glad results pre season gave been poor. If we had done ok I think all recruitment would have stopped.
Manager saying we are more than half a team short of being competative just two weeks before kick off says it all.14 -
We know when a manager wants "5 or 6" signings under RD and KM that means he's likely to bring in about 3. They'd rather gamble on Hanlan or Umerah stepping up than spend that bit more and have 4 proven strikers.
In Novak, Crofts and Holmes we have 3 players with no real potential sell on value which to RD is a lot when we've also got Jackson, Diarra, Johnson etc.
Happy for them to prove me wrong but we've needed 1 or 2 more pretty much every window since the takeover. Really don't see anything changing.8 -
Just read the news shopper interview, sounds like he is sending a message to one person, I'm not confident that person will listen1

Glad to hear the "strategy" has changed!
"Actively resisting network cast-offs" seems only thing that has changed is that it's now Slade saying no rather than Powell and we know how that ended.

The interview for those that cant get it elsewhere-:
Russell Slade hopes Charlton can sign “five or six” more players before the start of the new season.
And the Addicks boss expects the club to complete a deal to bring a goalkeeper in before the pre-season friendly against Ipswich Town on Tuesday night.
The departures of Nick Pope and Stephen Henderson have left the Addicks without a senior stopper at the club.
Pope, 24, joined Premier League new boys Burnley last week while Henderson joined Nottingham Forest on Friday on a free transfer.
But Slade revealed after today’s goalless draw at Leyton Orient that he hoped to sign a goalkeeper in the “next 72 hours”.
When asked about former triallists Kevin Foley and Lewis Buxton, who did not feature at Orient, Slade said: “They would make good additions to the squad but we are looking at the finances because we have priority areas to look at.
The two boys [Foley and Buxton] did well and they would be good additions to the squad.”
Pope established himself into the Charlton first-team last season and Slade admitted he assumed he would stay when he first arrived in the Valley hotseat.
He added: “It was a possibility that Stephen Henderson was moving on and then Nick was going to stay and we would look for a No.2 goalkeeper.
“But when the window is open these things happen. Burnley came in with a huge offer for Nick and it was one we had to consider.
“That’s gone now and we need to replace him.”
Last week Iceland star Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Scottish striker Tony Watt also sealed moves away from SE7.
The departures leave Slade’s squad thin on the ground and he insisted he was looking to sign five or six players before the start of the season.
“We’re miles away,” Slade said, when asked about the depth of his squad.
“I’d like to think we can get another five or six additions to the group. If we are going to be competitive at the top end, that’s what we need to do.
“There were a lot of young players on the pitch today and it was good for their experience, but when the campaign kicks off we need to have the right type out there.
“The balance of the team is going to be very important, it can’t be as young and inexperienced as it was at the end of today.”4 -
My Bees mate reckoned Button went for £2m. Pope far superior.1

Be about 800, similar to the amount of players who have fled SE7 in relief since May.Essex_Al said:
I'm sure by the time all of our thousands of away fans arrive at Bury the current situation will be resolved.ElfsborgAddick said:I wonder what EssexAl thinks about the goalkeeper(or should it be non goalkeeper) situation.
Get 'em in Al!
I'm saving for Walsall already!
Don't know why short people have long pockets?
That's how come he gets away with it, you cant see the little fucker in the crowd, but he can see you. Next thing you know, you're getting them in and he appears behind you!
Looking forward to Walsall little G!
The 'joy' of message boards is that on these things I think you're a c*** but having met you I think you're a good geezer, certainly when you get them in!8 -

Staying back for talks with Orient & Simpson maybe?1

He used to live in one of the flats at Brisbane Road. Perhaps he kept this after he left Orient.0
-
Nothing to see here. He went to his favourite Kebab shop along Leyton high road.5

No way could Slade have left in a laundry basket.5

Well perhaps he will only sign a loan!..Valley11 said:Loan....rubbish.
Surely we've got some money to buy him? He's a good keeper.1 - Sponsored links:

If he doesn't sign on loan, perhaps we could stand a dustbin there.
Probably then cause a debate as to whether a wheelie bin would be better, on an undisclosed three year deal from Grenwich Borough.0 -

McLaughlin will be cheaper, they'll get money from Solly and McLaughlin is an International from Euro 2016 so on that basis is better than Chris Solly.0 -
Considering Solly signed a new contract last week that would be weird, even by KM's standards.ForeverAddickted said:

No, we're like some sort of football outreach program, donating players outright, or paying them to play for clubs that have little or no money for wages.
Nottingham forest need a backup keeper - sure, take ours for free.
Red Star Paris want our £1.5m centre back - well, I've never heard of Red Star, so I'm pretty sure they can't afford to pay him, so why don't we just take care of his wages for them.
Igor and Reza are fancied by clubs in the lowlands you say? Sure! Take them! We have no use for them here. Would you like us to pay Igor's wages too? Of course we will.

Weren't Wiggins and Morrison given new contracts and then sold/given away a few months later?
Nothing this regime does can be a surprise, except if it actually did something sensible.8 -

I'm assuming this guy will cost money? If slade isn't allowed to sign Buxton on a free I can't see this happening. Unless he has a potential resale value hence spending money on ajose0
