Here's a rumour, not being funny but if that was true and some cocky footballer who hasn't even made it yet mugged us off like that I would have been tempted to two foot him

Thing that gets me when people say they have ‘bumped into’ potential signings. The kind of player we are in for I wouldn’t recognise on the street. I could walk past Eddie Nketiah and wouldn’t recognise him from Adam!

Edit: I know he obviously may not have said that but I am speaking hypothetically
How is saying 'nah man' mugging anyone off ?
Hold the door for me for a sec could ya mate? 'nah man'
Hold my drink for a second while I tie my shoe? ' nah man'
Whatever way you have said those two words it's disrespectful. Something like 'hopefully I can break into the Arsenal team no disrespect' would be a bit more respectable if the story is true. Each to their own but if someone responded to me that smug I wouldn't have anything to do with them

Think you need to chill out a bit. Dudes there to enjoy himself, not have a monologue with a stranger.
Out of all the positions we need to fill i'd say GK is the least important, just chuck Maynard-Brewer on the bench and get a loan in late in the window. Midfield is the real problem at the moment

What do you mean by chill out? I'm not sitting here raging, it's just my view if someone was that disrespectful to me I just wouldn't bother.
I am just saying if the story was true and Nketiah had that smug disregard for my club I wouldn't want him playing for it. My opinion, perfectly chilled out
Probably worth adding as well that he then took a picture so it's not like he was in a rush

I think you are jumping to conclusions though. If he has other options and doesn’t want to join us doesn’t mean he is cocky or disrespecting us.

Going by what Rich Cawley has said he's got options in the Prem and Bundesliga, he might have found the notion of coming to a newly promoted Championship team insulting or ridiculous, and if Cawley is right then you can hardly blame him.

Hence why I have said hypothetical and if he actually said that...

But even if he said that it doesn’t mean he is being disrespectful. We are biased and want every player to join us, we can’t get pissed off if a player doesn’t feel the same. You would spend a long time on the floor if you went round two footing anyone who doesn’t want to play for Charlton.
Had a quick look through the free agents that last played in prem/champ/lge1 - a player that stood out that hasnt been mentioned before and still without a club is Danny Williams, defensive midfielder played for Huddersfield last few seasons but played most of his career for Reading - still only 30. Wages probably a big issue. Not a huge amount of other realistic central midfield options about though.
Out of all the positions we need to fill i'd say GK is the least important, just chuck Maynard-Brewer on the bench and get a loan in late in the window. Midfield is the real problem at the moment
Disagree, A back up Goalkeeper is very important or even someone who can compete and potentially get that no1 spot, firstly to keep Dillon his toes, also god forbid if he gets injured we cant go in with someone who is both in-experienced and not in the same level. AMB needs a loan and we need experience.
I know there is holes everywhere in our squad but i would definitely not put it at the bottom of the list.
Ok last post on my view because I don't want to clog up the thread with new posts for someone who expects it to be a proper rumour and it's just an extended argument on a view of a hypothetical situation.
I am aware Nketiah doesn't have to nor will he probably play for us, I also would not actually two foot a person for simply saying 'nah man' it was tongue in cheek.
If Nketiah simply replied with nah man (IF that conversation actually took place) when asked if he would play for us I find that hugely disrespectful and personally I would stop talking to someone with that attitude about them straight away. As an example and I know it's different, imagine you just so happen to bump into Lyle on a train as we seem to do, and said to him 'hey Lyle, would love to see you sign an extension, reckon you will? 'Nah man' that's it. That blunt, you would obviously be a bit taken back by it, if it wouldn't bother someone then that's just a difference in personality.
Hope this clears everything up based on a pass by comment on a rumour I saw on twitter
Do you want sugar in your coffee? Nah Man Have you watched last night's love island? Nah Man Will you come and play for Charlton on loan? Nah Man
I don't see how that's different, what if he's already got a move lined up? What if when he was younger he was a palace fan? What if he's been asking Sanogo about how it was at Charlton instead of asking Bielik?
Like many have said before me, your take on a conversation that probably didn't even happen is a bit much
A lot of Russians out here but the regular 5.30pm 8/9 a side football match, played in intense 35 degree heat has unearthed some real talent. Playing as a nr.10, i've been supplying the bullets for Yergi, a big russian who literally does not miss. Our backline is marshalled by a Baressi type character who must be 60 and with his 2 east european type defenders, again, around 50, they are a formidable unit. My youngest is adding a bit of box to box and we have a croatian powerhouse who just plays wherever. Against us are a team of 'amusement arcades', mainly made up from the 'animation team' - super fit, run all day, tricks and flicks left right and centre but they just can't beat us. 4-4 today and they had an extra man. They have a team of williams / otzumers / fosu's - undeniable skill and ability but football really is about a blend. 8 or 9 bielik, cullens, taylors and purringtons and a couple of tricksters is all you need. It's so much about the manager to get that right - the fact Leicester won the premier league tells us it ain't all about wages / budget - flukes can happen and we could just pull one off next year - a couple of rejuvenated talents, a couple of great prem loans and who knows what could happen. Bowyer clearly believes. COYR!!!!
Someone’s been on the sauce on holiday!
true but in the cold light of day i have made arrangements for 4 of the animation team to have a trial - along with myself, my son and yergi so that's the 3 permanents and 4 loans wrapped up
In other words he is saying that at this current moment, we aren't close enough to get in someone before the weekend, but used the Purrington deal as an example as to how it can change quickly, so that would infer he has a little bit of hope that we could do something beforehand but right now, probably not.
As I mentioned previously, it is the first week back for Premier League clubs, things will start to move along now at a quicker rate. If it means we have to wait another 7 days to bring in a few players, but players we actually want, so be it.

he could be desperate to join us (highly unlikely) but nah man could be just his way of saying 'no, its likely to be xyz' as opposed to 'you must be f~~king joking' - anyway, once the turkish holiday boys turn up he'll be a distant memory

Gone from 'on the verge of signing' to hearing absolutely nothing about him. Is he considering other offers, staying at Bolton, or perhaps we're waiting to see if Williams will sign and then we may not need him. Anyone heard anything?

Scratch Nketiah off the list
Edit: I know he obviously may not have said that but I am speaking hypothetically
We have absolutely no chance of getting him.

Jordan Archer was offered too us but we've got other Goalkeeper options that we're looking at - Not happening!!

If you signed him I'd howl with laughter but also offer genuine, heartfelt condolences.
