are there any employees of the club on here? that are involved in transfers
if not its all speculation until 5pm tomorrow comes we are at the peril of twitter rumours and my mates sisters gran saw lyle taylor at the m1 services.
You little tease, which service station?
He was in the Car Park flashing his lights.
I saw him too. I wasn't sure it was him till I realised he had his favourite artist Flipp Dinero on his radio.
IF lee gets the money then great, Don't forget Taylor may be wanting more money - which he is entitled to from a players point of view he knows his worth and that we cant afford to let him go.
djiksteel goes and we get 5 in - of decent enough quality
ill be happy with that
You seriously think that Duchatelet will release most of the Dijksteel money to LB ? & that Charlton are going to get 5 decent players in over the next 2 days ?

I am hoping that Bowyer/Gallen have contingency plans to put into action with or without cash, even at this late stage .. as we see, transfers happen very quickly, as quick as the electronic switch of paperwork will allow
All those slagging off Dijksteel... He's steadily improved since he broke into the team and will continue to do so. He's a good signing for any championship club.
He was at one. Could of continued to improve but went for the money. Don't dress it up as anything else. Understandable on his part but from our perspective unhelpful. Not having the nuts to say tata before you get your picture taken poor. (See Lockyer for how to leave a club).
Waste of energy getting yourself wound up about how players leave a club - seems people are just deperate to be outraged. If a player is sold what are they supposed to do?
I don't blame players who are unhappy at Charlton if they're not paid the going rate.
Just think, we built our title winning league one team with the jenkinson money. Look at what Bowyer could have done this summer with the Konsa, Grant, Aribo, Lookman and now AD money
Its all keep hearing five new players for the last few weeks, if we haven't got a couple in by now I cant see what will change within the 30 hours. We have been here loads of times before, year after year. Same shit just a different voice. Roll on 5.30 with the interview when we are pleased to have one in, we thought we would get another four in but just couldn't get it done as other clubs were waiting, its boring now.
Cawley saying premier league clubs have until the end of the month to loan league one clubs. Didn't realise that.
We're not in league one... yet!
Haha I know. It just means PL clubs don't have to rush to get their youngsters/fringe players out on loan, which may be a negative for us.
Dunno... depends if they think they're too good for League One Football i.e. If Josh Cullen ends up back at a League One team then its absolute madness
Yeah I meant more players with no loan experience. Of course players who have already proven themselves in league one won't be going back there, though doubt we'll be getting Cullen back anyway sadly.

Pretty sure he can improve ok at Boro, a team who were in the Premier League, what, three years ago? Boro have excellent training facilities and the means to push for promotion. He's hardly left just for the money. The idea that players have to do some kind of massive public mea culpa for daring to move jobs is just insane.
Charlton probably held the better hand in getting Afernee to sign but because we’re paying relative peanuts we lost the advantage of him being settled and liking CAFC. The reason he’s gone is our fault not his. Any sensible player would do exactly the same. Good luck AD. We move on to the next debacle.

Just because other clubs are willing to pay more wages it doesn't automatically mean that we should follow. I'm not saying I agree with Roland's budget for us, but every club has to have some sort of financial limit, as if you don't you end up like Bolton or Bury

Mea culpa? Just say thanks yourself for the opportunity provided and move on. Do it yourself not via a scripted club statement. Get your timing right and do well in your new job. My lad’s got Konsa shirt framed in his room from Bradford away. Never an issue with young players making progress. The fact RD is squandering our opportunity to do well this season for his own perverse ends is the cancer. Players moving and being glad to do so the outward symptoms of our demise.

AD was probably on about £1000 a week at The Valley. A Championship full back should expect at least £7 -10 k per week. No idea what he’s moved onto at Boro but I can’t help feeling that if we’d offered him even close to the going rate then he might have stayed.

Only had 8 years to wait for the sell on!
He must be down to his last few hundred millions by now. Poor lamb.
Now get him on loan from Forest to replace Dijksteel.....(and bin the sell-on).
Apparently it was part of LBs new contract that he can use a certain % of transfer fees made.
