Makes you wonder if Bowyers situation was cleared up sooner would he be a Charlton player or was it just a money issue.
The optimist in me says we have Williams, Lockyer and Oztumer already sorted and we will announce them all as soon as Aribo goes to soften the blow/meltdown
Why do people think Williams will sign? If we can't afford to bring in Eaves/Ruben/Keep Aribo then we can't afford JW.
I think Williams was happy just to be playing football. He will never again earn what he did at Palace I think it could happen he signs for us a one year deal to prove fitness and move on
When one of our manager's say they hope to sign x amount of players by x date, it rarely if ever happens. I don't know why people expect it to happen. It's an absolute bonus for me if it does.
Ruben Lameires, Really thought Charlton had a good chance of getting Lameiras, saw him at the Doncaster playoff game. He was as excited as any Charlton fan at the result! by the way his family all live in South London too not Portugal.Remember he was at Spurs at the beginning off his career. I think what ever team a player signs for he needs to know he will play in his chosen position, its not all about money Lameires is a 10 maybe Charlton wanted him to be running up and down the wing protecting his full back not what a creative player wants to do.Anyway once Jorge Mendes (Ronaldos agent) got involved and decided to put him on private jet to Portugal end of story.

Although the money on offer was the main issue, the position Bowyer wanted hi to play was also a consideration in his decision, allegedly.

The sort of players I would like us to look at are people like Brewster on loan, he is coming back from an injury and might struggle to get in the Liverpool squad, he would need to go out to get games and would suit probably a top Championship (not us), totally unrealistic but if we could get someone in that mould, Nikiteh would also be a great signing but again I am not sure whether people in a better position will come in.
Roll on Friday, Roll on getting some players and seeing how we will fair, this is going to be painful and always will be with Roland involved.
Gutted to lose both Bauer + Aribo, we need similar quality at minimum and not just the first players that come available. problem is we need to do the business early which for loans will be unlikely.

And that truly is the problem.
What with the uncertainty around the takeover and the tiny budget, I fear it'll be a late show trying to sign quality cheaply when most of the best available has already been snapped up by other clubs.
Ideally, we need to have most of the squad assembled before we fly off to Portugal to get the full benefit.
But despite every effort by Bowyer and Gallen, that's not going to happen.

Wait until Richard Crawley announces it, and I'll believe it...
