I wonder if the player Bowyer mentioned could be Richie Towell the Brighton midfielder who was on loan at Rotherham last season. Was talk down here in Sussex of League 1 interest in him today.
Throwing in the Towell jokes are a bit last year’s window.
Unpopular opinion , but I feel Bowyer is getting as irritating as Robinson on the ‘sound bite and blind faith’ front...
Half truths and statements turning out to me fake all over again! Has learnt a lot from KR!!
You're not alone in this. Bowyer has been dealt an incredibly difficult hand. But as was the problem with Slade, promising a certain number of players is always going to result in failure under this regime. The difference with Bowyer is that he has two more years of very clear evidence of this to have observed it.

Leeds were looking to actually sell O'Kane rather than loan him out but obviously that hasn't happened.
I make you right that he is probably the one Bowyer has said hopes doesn't sign for a Championship club, but if we were to sign him I think a loan until January is about right. For Leeds, they would get the player off their books for a while before having him back to sell if he does well here, it stops them losing a year's value on the player. No matter how crap they may be for us.
But of course, it is only a rumour and doesn't mean he is signing.
Another thing too as someone mentioned would we go back in for Josh Cullen now West Ham have continued their signings making him further down the pecking order, I believe he has the same agent as Lyle Taylor so it is not something that Bowyer or Gallen wouldn't have dealt with before.
Despite Lee repeatedly saying that it's positive and we're on schedule, I think that's the least positive I've ever heard him sound.
Think he may be trying to hide his anger at being stitched up by Roland
Not really stitched up by Roland! He’s about the only person to benefit. He’s in the safest job in football. Roland won’t hire a permanent manager, or Roly May end up paying someone else compensation if he sacked them. Lee can only build his reputation as a manager based on the injuries and lack of signings . Wins are a bonus to his name.
I’m so jealous of Fulham. Have a read of this and try not to weep when you consider we were equals not so long ago in the Premier League, and now can’t even name a full bench.
Sounds to me that Bows is playing the hand he has been dealt very well.
Not convinced he was the best man for the job, but have been impressed with his achievements so far. Kept the best with the exception of Konsa and has added two very good players on permanent. It will be interesting to see how he does with signing loans, but I am confident he knows exactly what he is doing.

Is he more of an attacking threat or does he focus more on mopping up the loose balls from the opposition?
Just arrived home from 2 weeks in Turkey and the 1st thing I do is log on to Charlton life to see who our 3 new signings are. Surprisingly I was not surprised to see that there were none. Roland has turned us into an absolute shambles of a football club and with the size of our squad and with the injuries we have we will be lucky to finish mid table at best.

Eunan O'Kane had a run out with Leeds' U23s a couple weeks ago in a preseason friendly. If he is the one to sign tomorrow, I don't know how fit he'll be. I can't find any other information on him being involved in their preseason, and this article states he wasn't involved in their senior friendlies to that point. Still think he's a decent addition, and really we need bodies. We don't have adequate cover anywhere, especially midfield.

I would certainly not play poker with him!
At 1 point we were linked with 7 players, and although we only got 5 over the line the other 2 are joining in Jan.
Lee Bowyer played a blinder but it wouldnt have been possible with the massive cash injection Roland gave him.
What a rollercoaster of a day it was, cant believe you missed it.
Looking forward to cheering the 5 new players on on Saturday.
Edit:I may have fallen asleep at some point and got my dream mixed up with reality, guess I will find out on Saturday

Just sell the club and FUCK OFF

Needed but not absolutely necessary right now. We need a centre back and centre mid urgently.
