Never heard of most of them and not bothered if we don't sign any of them. As Bow said, no point in signing someone just for the sake of it unless he can improve the squad.
To get a six month contract from a League 1 club who are in the top 6 when you have been released and the reality of not having regular money paid into your bank! Most of those released players would bite your hand off unless they spent time in the premier and can afford to wait.
The days of getting 5 year contracts have disappeared from the lower divisions.
6 month contracts will be the norm going forward, it isn't great but then again nor is Zero hour contracts that many workers face in the modern day workplace.
If you back yourself to do well a six month contract gives you the opportunity to impress and get a better deal, higher club! I reckon that's what Williams is doing.
What a sad state of affairs that we have gone so low to be looking at players without contracts.
No reflection on certain players abilities but this cannot be right.
Yes very sad and unnecessary considering the bloke's minted.
He might have a lot of money but it's his money. When you own a business/football club/etc. it run's on its own merits and make a profit or loss (even Chelsea are in this position now). No successful businessman throws his own money at it unless he has an emotional attachment to it (or it's a growing, successful enterprise) and RD has publicly said he doesn't and wishes he'd never bought it in the first place! All, or most of the, money he's put into Charlton has been in the form of loans from his parent company Staprix.

Could make a world class strike force from some of those players. On Football Manager 2010
Should definitely be looking at Anichebe. You want a player who will fit in with the current squad, and he'll be right at home on our well-stocked and frequently attended physio table.
I wouldn't want Nile Ranger as he would have more baggage than Joan Collins, Plus if Taylor, Parker, Reeco were unavailable he would play on his own up front.
Our jam sandwich brigade would shit the bed if we signed Ranger. The blokes a complete wrongen.
Marmalade jam and clean sheets please.
No problem per se in having a bad boy, Lee Bowyer was no angel, BUT guys who can't be arsed to get in to training on time and can't realize how lucky they are to be paid to play football. A bad apple at this stage would affect the dynamics of the group.
Ranger is trouble but probably better than anyone we have, bar Lyle
Ranger is trouble with a capital T. I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole, even if he offered to play for free. He probably wouldn't turn up in any case, as is usual with him and could well be back in prison before the season ended. No way Hose.
Really can't see us going in for Ranger. I can only see the player mentioned being Mason, as it fits with what Bowyer said. We should be a more attractive proposition then Plymouth but I guess it's his home town club which could dash our hopes.
I am not sure he is the answer but he is a decent player on his day and we need a striker so worth a shot IMO.
Regarding Lee Erwin, I don't believe he is out of contract, playing in Iran so unless contract finished in Jan we wouldn't be able to sign him?
Got to be mason but when you look at his career he’s bounced all over the place after showing real promise early on. A move back home to Plymouth is probably what he needs at 27.
LB on free agents: "There are none out there. Maybe [the one out there might go somewhere else]. There are others who are talking to him. I don't even know if the owner will allow it anyway. It's something I'd like to do." #cafc

All depends on your research that you do on a player really
Yann Kermorgant at Leicester compared with his time @ Charlton | Bournemouth | Reading is perfect example of that

The lone Ranger.
