Fit, match fit, and match sharp are all different things though and there are certainly no guarantees Igor will be firing on all cylinders from the get go. Igor or no Igor, we need a fourth striker imo.
Would have him back on loan for sure. Knows the club, would play a bit part, adding experience for the run in, and would hold up well with Karlan in Lyle’s absence.
Relaxed about the grant thing - the only way we can bring in s striker of the quality we need to improve the front line is if he is guaranteed to start and we certainly don’t want to lose Taylor - whatever happens I reckon we will end up with 1 more striker than we currently have by the end of this window and Taylor will still be here
Bowyer on Karlan Grant. The South London Press has been told that the Lions are not chasing the forward, who is also rumoured to be on Glasgow Rangers’ watchlist.
“There will be some interest – he is a young lad scoring goals and their ain’t many around,” Charlton boss Bowyer told the South London Press.
“That is for us to deal with and for him to deal with.
“I think it could maybe turn his head a little bit but he has just got to focus on his football – this time last season he was playing at Crawley Town [on loan]. He needs to look at the bigger picture; he has improved a lot and is back playing his football with Charlton, who he loves.
“For me he has just got to concentrate on that. Whatever happens, will happen. He is not in full control of what will happen. He needs to keep enjoying his football and learning.

Would he? Didn't ever hold the ball up previously with us.

There top scorer
Owner trying to sell club losing top scorer would take value down

“He is not in full control because a club has got to make an offer, and an acceptable offer. It has got to suit everybody. If we lost him it wouldn’t suit us – it would hurt us.

At the five seven five thing
This could have some legs
He was keen
His representative is a Charlton fan
He can do a job for the remainder of the season and gives us a third option. London lad too
Edit: nvm I'm a doughnut, someone told me it was Maupay they bought
Thought if they did Brentford may go for Grant
By the tune we were in a position to proceed he’d moved to Brizzle.
He wanted to be here
Grrr
I know Bowyer said he wanted to wait and see who was availble towards to end of January but with no Taylor we are screwed against Posh.
Yes we have the players for 4-2-3-1 but if that doesnt work and we need to change it we are screwed.
The amount of Football Clarke has had I dont think we can throw him in upfront and expect anything
