A small amount of credit needs to go to Roland. Not many chairman would have rejected that bid for Taylor.
But in doing so shows how awful he is. We lose Aribo etc for peanuts and then he rejects a bid we should probably have accepted.
At a properly run club you’d accept 4.5m for a player out of contract next summer (assuming he won’t sign a new deal, but even so it’s a decent fee for a 29 year old unproven in the Championship) and let the manager spend that on strengthening the squad overall.
There would have been carnage on here if he'd sold Lyle.
any decent free right backs about, still deffo need 1
The names Connor Randall and Nathan Thompson have been bandied about. Wouldn't like the latter, who looked a right piece of work when goading Alex Mowatt of Oxford after he missed a penalty.
Ifwe sign the 2 from Brighton, what Bows and Gallen have done, is not brought in anybody alone.
Both the West Brom kids, and the Brighton signings will have a friend (or at least someone they know) with them in their new surroundings. It will help them integrate them into the Charlton group.
Spare a thought for poor Tracey Leaburn. She's going to have a late night...
Leko is the closest player we have to Karlan Grant. Pacey and not a striker in the target man sense. With the players we now can call on in midfield I think Leko playing off the shoulder of defenders he could be very effective.

She can’t complain - she’s been able to have her feet up watching Countdown the last few transfer windows.

Momentarily forgot about the young Chelsea lad.
Fascinating in more ways than one.
So 3 strikers, plus Bonne isn’t that bad, especially as we could play Aneke up front too if we wanted.
Could announce them tomorrow if we wanted

Well chuffed with our signings, so much more than I expected. Don't think any other Championship side has done as well as us.
One thing for sure, is we ain't going to lose 6-0 at Hull this time round.
