Amos isn’t our fucking player... he belongs to the Woolpack.
All jokes aside, I thought he was only on loan to us...
Anyone know when Amos's contract runs out at Bolton ? They wanted rid of him when he joined us but I think that was to get his high wage off the books .

End of next season.
Might be a case where Bolton will be happy to terminate his Contract in the summer (If Amos agrees) to get him off the wage bill
I wasnt happy at the time but he's been a good signing and after that Plymouth error for their second goal I cant think of many other mistakes he's made - Is better than Rudd and would have him back here next season
If Bolton mutually agreed with Amos to terminate his contract, I’d happily have him back next season as I think he has been a top performer this year, got better as the season has gone on.
However, I am very conscious of Phillips’ development as I really think he has the potential to be our number one for a good few years. He needs to be playing and am gutted that we haven’t managed to send him out on loan, but he deserves a chance with us in future.
Amos has been great. I'd sign him up in a heart beat. Best keeper we've had for years.
Phillips is a bit overrated on here imho.
Phillips just needs a run of games.
He proved that at Cheltenham a year or so ago, where he was their standout performer in a promotion winning side.
Not to be a snob, but I would expect any Charlton player who is on the fringe of the starting XI to stand out in a non league side like they were at the time. If we go up and do end up with Amos I will be confident in that position, with Phillips there are question marks. Amos has a better stature for a goalie and a much better pedigree, got to think as well he has 5 years on him. I personally don't want to see Phillips out on loan purely because I think he is better off here. He may well go and be a top keeper for a side like Cheltenham (where there will be far less pressure) and come back to us not the same. I would prefer Amos as our number 1 with Phillips learning from him, challenging for the shirt and ready to step up if needs be. Keeping him around the squad and playing him in less significant games will be more useful than shipping him away imo, who would be our back up if something went wrong?
Amos in on £20k a week. If he were to join he’d have to have a major rethink about his demands. Chances are we are merely putting him in the shop window
Amos is on £18000 a week. Talks with Amos agents started when Meire was still here. But none have been had since. I dont suppose that anything will happen until the Takeover.
Just seen that embarrassing video we have out together on our twitter account to announce his signing really wish this sort of shit would stop it’s all very American and very palace
I think Amos would have to adjust his wage demands for any club below the Premier League, 20k is a lot of money to pay someone who's been at League One level for the last two years.
People are right about Phillips though, I like him as a Goalkeeper too and think he could be our No.1 but he needed to go somewhere on loan

And when his contract ends he will be on £0 a week unless he signs a new contract with a club or gets a new profession. He’s definitely good enough imo that some club (or more) will want him in his/their team and it’s just a question of how much that/those clubs can pay. Obviously it would be a major struggle but I suspect a lowly contract of say £5,000 or even £4,000 per week could be enough to get by on - not enough for the CL clique I admit but I’ve heard some people do manage on wages like that...
How much would our top earners be on ? What was Ricky getting before he left ? I always think that one of the most important players in the team is your GK yet it’s often a position that gets neglected in terms of team investment. A very good custodian can win you as many points over the season as your top striker. How many times did Deano save our Premiership bacon. I’d feel perfectly comfortable with Charlton having Amos signed and being one of our top earners.
Shrewsbury admitted they were in for Kaikai but he came to us for geographical reasons. Even though none of us are sure of the lads ability, that has to be seen as a coup!

I get the impression that you're overlooking the fact that when he played for Cheltenham, Dillon Phillips was only 20 years old. That's still very young for a keeper to establish himself at professional level - and most don't do it until they are quite a bit older.
Okay, it was in the 5th tier, but it was an excellent grounding for a young keeper in a physical and extremely competitive environment - and they won the title.
It's a similar route taken by Nick Pope, for example. Superb in all his loan spells at lower division clubs, and after a little period of uncertainty in the Charlton 1st team, soon proved himself to be a very good keeper (even in a relegation side). Burnley were sufficiently impressed to pay around £1m for him, and he's now proving to be one of the very best keepers in the Prem.
The only thing stopping Phillips is lack of games. And unless there is injury to Amos, he's not going to get those games at Charlton.

18k a week at Bolton? No wonder they're skint.
18k a week at Bolton and not even in their squad, football really has gone mental !

The best of it is, he was 4th choice keeper as well.
Fantastic signing and going to be very influential for going attacking wise for the rest of this season.
Will Kaikai's signing mean that somebody like KAG may be going out on loan?
Can't answer that right now, will try and find out.
Personally hope not as I think he still has a part to play this season, and we need as many players in the run in as we can. If we were to get in another striker, I can see him going out on loan, but for now, no I hope not.
I believe this is more of a Holmes replacement, but someone who can play more centrally too. He has goals in him this boy.
Okay, a few days since this post and I think everyone can work out the answer that’s coming. KAG is staying, going nowhere and sounds very much part of KR’s plans. The only way he would be going anywhere is if we somehow signed a couple of strikers but that’s not happening.

I read somewhere a couple of days that ago that Ajose is supposed to be loaned out shortly. There's only a couple of days left - any moves happening for him?
Nicky Ajose is set to hold talks with Charlton Athletic tomorrow to determine where his short-term future lies.
The striker spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Bury but struggled to make any impression there – scoring just once in nine League One fixtures.
Ajose was due to spend the whole season with the Shakers but has been back training with the Addicks.
The South London Press reported recently that Charlton looked likely to send the former Manchester United trainee, 26, back out on loan for the second half of the 2017-18 campaign.
Ajose played just six full matches for Bury and was not in their matchday squad for 17 fixtures.
Erhun Oztumer scored for Walsall as Charlton Athletic won 3-1 at The Valley in the Addicks last time out.
And there are reports that the 26-year-old attacking midfielder was a Karl Robinson target prior to the boss being told he was unable to sign players on a permanent basis because of the sale of the club.
It is reported that Charlton have called off their pursuit - although that may have happened a while ago as Robinson has since attracted other attacking to the club, albeit on loan.
Interestingly, Oztumer learned his trade in SE9 at Sparrows Lane, spending nine years in the youth set-up at Charlton.
