Summer 2018 transfer rumours

This JM sale is the beginning of the “two weeks of pain” @JamesSeed said GM had said? Bauer next?1

I think this may be a mistake on 2 levels-:
1. If Josh goes how certain can we be with RD in charge we will get a 'better' replacement, or indeed any replacement.
2. He has scored 20 goals on 2 seasons, not a great return, but the service was missing most of the time, so in that regard it wasn't bad either!
The season starts a week tomorrow and the rumour I mentioned earlier today is that up here in Coventry it does seem to have some legs and Ajose is on their radar, although that is still just a rumour as it stands. Lose both Mag and Ajose and replace with just Taylor!!! That is insanity.

Local press reported in January that the rejected Bolton offer for Magennis was £500,000.Todds_right_hook said:
£200k in jan? How much do you think the offer is now? I’d be surprised if it’s more than £100kBlucher said:Josh is a very hard working professional but he is, in my view, a limited player and not someone who is going to move us up a level. In the last year of his contract, it is no surprise that the club have been desperately looking to flog him all summer. By January, we’d be lucky to get £200,000 for him, especially as - absent a takeover - we will most certainly be out of the touch with the leaders at that stage.
I expect the fee to be defrayed against Duchatelet’s huge,ongoing running costs and losses, but if it increases the chances of Bauer not been flogged on the cheap, it will be worthwhile.
As someone remarked earlier on CL, we have fallen a long way - although I fear we have some way to go if this deplorable owner retains control.

How much we got for him is irrelevant - it is how much the Cnut will pocket and how much will go to Bowyer!5

Is he Brazilian ?Todds_right_hook said:Why is he always referred to by his first name but most other players by their surnames?

Granted, but he is Magennis’ replacement.killerandflash said:
Not the same type of player though, Taylor isn't really a target manJ BLOCK said:
Taylor is his replacement. I would love this sale means we keep Igor.killerandflash said:
Not over bothered by Josh leaving BUT that rather depends on whether Bowyer is able to bring in anyone to replace himcharltonman2016 said:A fee has been agreed with Bolton for Josh Magennis according to Richard Cawley now as well
It will be handy not losing a player when N Ireland play and we can't postpone matches

My guess would be 300,000 now.0

couple more to go yet ------still wining0

Farewell Northern Irish Ronaldo0

It'll be £350k for Josh as it'll be cash. And there was a rumour (suppose now fact) that Roland would knock down price of player if it was cash up front2
-
I predicted
Josh (going)
Bauer (will go)
Vet (will now stay due to injury)
It is what it is.
It sucks to be a Charlton fan. But I’m emotionless to it all now. I don’t actually give two f’s
Just still go to see my dad and mates0 -
I’d back Karlan Grant to score more than Magennis over a whole season.28
-
What is Roland going to do if - as seems distinctly possible - the Aussie deal does not materialise ?
I do not envisage a big queue of potential investors/purchasers lining up to bail him out (especially as they'll be able to smell his desperation).2 -
Could he be as effective defensively though?LargeAddick said:I’d back Karlan Grant to score more than Magennis over a whole season.
Like Bartlett and Leaburn or Horsfield and Ronnie Moore it was like having an extra cenre back at set pieces.10 -

Although it’s nice to have a centre forward who can help out defensively I’d rather we had one who can score goals.Richard J said:

I was just trying to make the point how vital Josh was to last year's team4 - Sponsored links:

My heart sank every time I heard the announcer say 'Big Josh Magennis!'. Likeable, hardworking, great at defending set pieces. But that's more likely to stop you getting relegated rather than get you promoted.Richard J said:

Maybe if we had played a different system? But even when Bowyer took over with his 442 it didn't really happen for him. Taylor looks more ruthless in front of goal, and a better mover too.3 -
Ooh that will please Roland as he has some nifty moves himself.JamesSeed said:

Thanks Josh.
Still..at least we won’t have any international call ups this year and have to play more Tuesday night games! Silver cloud and all that...

Yes he was good at doing that maybe he should have been a centre back instead of a striker.Richard J said:

could move him back there & not bring in Ward. Dion Dublin & Dougherty done it.Moo said:

wouldn't be sad to see him go. For a big guy he's not physical enough, doesn't bully defenders, hardly wins any headers & not very good with the ball at his feet. Why Bolton want him I have no idea.3 -
Agree , I think we all knew when he was through on goal against Brighton he would miss. Sure enough he did.golfaddick said:

All the people saying it’s ‘good news’ and ‘not sad to see him go’......
Why?
It won’t make a jot of difference to our prospects of inbound players.
All the sale does is line Roland’s pockets.
In that sense (and taking in to account our squad size) I don’t want anyone to leave.11 -
Really not too fussed.guinnessaddick said:5 -
I like Magennis, hard working player, his lack of goals reminds me of leaburn, worked his nuts off for the team, but not prolific in front of goal.7
