Having been anti boycott,my first thought when I saw the Taylor Rumour was to demand my season ticket money back,this would be a disaster ,i just dont see how we could recover from this.I honestly feel Bowyer would walk,and Roland would finally have achieved his aim and alienated even the most diehard(and Gullible like me) of supporters.This has really got to me,i am just off to Golf and am terrified of getting home and seeing the news confirmed.
We have similar in the run up to pretty much every window deadline of a major sale and in the last few at least it has never materialised.
I forsee a load of comings and goings over the next couple of days.
We really should keep your council till Thursday evening and see how the overall picture looks then.
Should be a flag button for sensible posts like this in the midst of a meltdown.
How can anyone who loves the club keep a sensible head on at this moment of time. We have an owner who is trying to destroy the club. Why the fuck people bought season tickets (10,000 +) i'll never know. DO NOT PUT ANOTHER PENNY THIS MAN'S WAY. Also those who support valley gold, STOP. If Taylor is sold, I think there will be real trouble, and in my opinion, it's about time. Fuck plastic pigs and ping pong balls etc
That 2million would be better spent on wages to help get the players we desperately need that are on free transfers etc. I'd rather get 3 10k a week signings that can make a difference then spend 2m on 1 player
Exactly. Some people on here seem to forget the situation Charlton are in with the owner desperate to off load the club. As he was at the start of last season. If we had new owners then yes, I would expect new long term contracts to be offered to existing players and new players who are free agents. Maybe even pay a fee for a player. Season long loans and short term contracts are the only viable way of providing LB with a squad that has a chance of staying up this season.
This is what makes the signing of Bonne so hard to understand
I know the goals Bonne scored were in the National League but is he being written off already ? Why can't he make the step up, Gray, when at Luton did. Plus Gallen had been watching him long enough according to the speech marks attributed to Lee Bowyer.
Not every post by Red Henry is correct despite his apparent accuracy on Lee Bowyer signing his contract when we were being told he'd walked, and the 1.9 million being accepted for Dijksteel.
Bonne not being a Bowyer and Gallen signing and confirming that Oztumer had signed 3 weeks ago were inaccurate.

"Taylor's getting old, it's good deal that makes sense and maybe some of the money will get a hungry young replacement. If he doesn't want to be here he can go."
Having sold Maupay for £20 million, there have been persistent rumours that Palace are interested in taking Ollie Watkins for £11 million. If so, Brentford will need reinforcements up front.
We’ll find out soon enough whether there is anything in the Lyle Taylor rumours.
Apart from anything else I can't see why Lyle would want to go to Brentford. Konsa did when we were one division below them, but we're the same division now
Perhaps the fact they are a club with ambition, he will get a pay increase and they have a chance of doing something in the league this season
A well run club, but hardly that ambitious as they are specialists at selling players for a big profit.
Difference is, they re invest, have you seen who they’ve signed this summer? They are a much more attractive team to join than us.
The fact that Taylor is approaching 30 is the only reason he hasn’t been sold yet, this is how it all starts, rumours today, concrete evidence tomorrow, medical Thursday you watch.
Then a large scale pitch invasion at every home game until that cancerous prick fucks off needs to take place.
Pitch invasion at The Valley?
Duchatelet would laugh at it. Then use it against us in the media.
Otherwise it wouldn't touch him. Any protest would have to happen in Belgium or through their media to have any effect. It's his reputation that he cares about.
Of all the places, Middlesboro, has the lad ever been there ?
Anfernees Dijksteel's agent told him Middlesbrough is next to sandbanks and Poole.
He will argue he said sandbags and a pool of piss when he is confronted by an angry player. Seriously, If I wasn't going on holiday today, I would offer to drive Djiksteel there. I can't see how you would sign once you have seen the place.
You wouldn't move up North for 3 or 4x your salary? You wouldn't even have to live in Middlesborough.
Madness.
Djiksteel will be looking at a big payday next season if he does well this.
You’re kidding right - he’ll get a “big payday” now if he moves to ‘Boro and then, if he does well, he’ll have the chance of a Premier League payday whether they get promoted or not.
There is no logical argument to suggest that any of our players should turn down a move to any other Championship club.
I think they are just trying to get the scoop, I doubt there is any legs 'sky sources' basically they have seen the rumour and could see it because we are a mess.
I reckon Taylor stays, at worse he goes in January.
Hopefully we can make at least 4 signings before the window closes, I should really say hopeful really.
Parrott would be decent, mate said he is similar to Kane style/pace and highly regarded so could be perfect time for him to make his mark. Must have something about him to be involved in pre-season, they will probably need to sign someone first to let him go.
If Taylor was my son and at 29 will be on a shedload of dough of course I would advise him to leave our shit cart of a club. its a no brainer, why would any player stay or any supporter pay to support a club that the owner is asset stripping?

Tired of this deluded argument. RD is a f***ing billionaire who couldn't give a stuff about boycotts etc - that much is evident by now. If he cared about money he would have sold by now.
Dijksteel's father on Facebook claiming Anfernee wants to stay at Charlton and he won't leave, fwiw
Maybe but his dad isn't a professional footballer - I get the impression that neither Dijksteel or Patrick B. wanted to leave Charlton but as the Helmet won't pay the money they had no choice. A footballer's career is relatively short and I for one don't blame any player (whether they play for Charlton or not) wanting to better themselves financially. In their place I know I would as would any sane person.

At this time of year, with 92 clubs frantically trying to deal, there's no way that Sky and the news outlets have 100% accurate information on every club, they'll be copying social media sites which in turn have copied other social media sites...
The fact that Taylor is approaching 30 is the only reason he hasn’t been sold yet, this is how it all starts, rumours today, concrete evidence tomorrow, medical Thursday you watch.
Then a large scale pitch invasion at every home game until that cancerous prick fucks off needs to take place.

Do both, let’s face it if Taylor goes we are down, pitch protests for publicity, Belgian protests to hurt the spiteful bastard.

Totally agree. Nothing at the Valley affects him. It must be in Belgium and, ideally, something that personally affects him or his business.

I doubt they would take a chance on running with a story between Charlton and Brentford just for the sake of saying they got the scoop - it’s not as if either club is big enough to move the dial much for them in terms of ratings. The fact that Sky are reporting it makes me feel as though there is definitely something in this, and all the supporting details stack up when you think about the money Brentford have, our owner etc

Nobody knows how to remove him do they?
That’s the spirit.....Or you could do nothing and just bend over take it up the Gary!
Brentford free to pick up the phone and ask. Just tell them his price is £15M and that we will only sell at that if we have a replacement lined up. Should be a short conversation.

Serious question - short of somebody paying stupid money for the club what would make RD go?

There must be businesses that do business with his business. They might not appreciate getting drawn into this.
i could accept the lack of funding for the team as he wants to sell so he's not going to invest loads of money but what is the point in just selling all the best players and devaluing the assets of the club. The man is a complete and utter fucking moron

Bowyer said in his interview in Saturdays papers he only spoke to RD about 5 times last year. So who at the club is selling our players?

A lot of media transfer speculation is reported after their backroom staff trawl through social media.
You can't physically remove him.
