If this incoming player is better than Ajose (which he will be) and maybe even better than Grant (which is possible) then I'd hardly say we've been weakened up front.
As I say, the issue is whether the player comes in. Let's stay hopeful.
Grant has 14 goals in 28 games
Have you actually checked just HOW MANY players have scored more in this division this season.....
He's done well. But why is he 12th in our season player ratings? You say it like its impossible that we'll find a player that helps the team play better. I'd say it's eminently possible.
I am confused, were we not looking to bring another striker before Grant was even linked with a move? so all this Bowyer will get any funds we get from the sale of Grant is complete cobblers and another £1.5m gets trousered or off-set to continue this shit show of incompetence.

You're saying the player ratings are a more valid measurement of his ability than his goals and assists? Alice in Wonderland stuff.

I am indeed. Player ratings are assigned based on an all-round appreciation of his play over 28 full games, some of which he looked distinctly average in. Yes, goals and assists do help his cause, but they don't tell the whole story

Laughable. And slightly worrying that you would seriously believe that.
First rule of being a Charlton fan since 2014, never try and second guess the Rat and never apply logic or common sense. Don't forget this individual is the modern day Alan Turing 😏

In his role end, our striker highest up the pitch, it's end product is that makes the difference between getting a result or not. He can miss chances, give away the ball but score the winning goal and get an average mark of 6/10. As our goals mainly come from our strikers that's probably more valuable than a solid 7 or 8 out of 10 striker that has a great all round game but rarely scores.
If a striker is a better all round player but scores fewer goals then we'll need his play to result in the team scoring more and/or conceding less to make up for the lack of goals.
If Aribo wasn't our only goalscoring midfielder this season I'd feel more comfortable about losing Grant's goals.

Bowyer said: “We’re in a good position at the moment for the striker we want.
“Obviously he won’t be in to train today, which is disappointing. We’d hoped that would happen yesterday.
“Today we hear ‘yes’ or ‘no’. But I think we’ve got a good chance.
“And then that is us [done]. That’s all we’re trying to do, just replace Karlan.”
Why are we waiting on a yes/no on the final day of the window. Could be left with no senior striker for Saturday (I would still class Reeco as U23 squad).
Letting go of Ajose now looks like horrible business.

Some fans need to get a grip if they ever thought we’d get the likes of Tom Eaves
ROLAND JUST SELL THE CLUB!!!!!
Such a shit show. RD said not long ago that he cant sell the club until we are in the Championship and then does his best to keep us in League 1.
Let's sign someone to be Taylor's main partner -a replacement for Grant
