I don’t get the love affair with Purrington. He’s positional defensive play is terrible. Caught out of position so many times. Slow jogs back from attack.
And going forward he has taken on about 3 players all season.
we need better 

Christ. If you wanted one post to sum up how different people view certain players, this is it.

That string of clean sheets we kept after he signed was no coincidence. He's be one of the first players I'd be trying to sign.

Transfermarkt shows both out of contract but I am pretty sure you are right about Pearce, I think we have him one more year. I will remove him from the list. Can't find anything online about Solly signing but does not mean he did not. Can anyone confirm?

Chris Maxwell - No

Ben Purrington - Yes

Chris Solly -Yes

Jake Forster-Caskey -Yes

Josh Cullen - Yes

Jonny Williams - Yes

Ben Reeves - No

Tariq Fosu -No

Mark Marshall - No

Igor Vetokele - No

Josh Parker - No

Simonsen

For those that are saying a "pay as you play deal" for Igor, why not just offer a much reduced contract?

Start getting into "pay as you play" and there might be the temptation not to play him, in order to save money....

I suspect, that Igor will get some fairly decent offers from Belgium, Holland or Scandanavia and that's where he will end up next season.

Swisdom

Chris Maxwell - No (We'll need another keeper but not of his standard.  Dills is No.1)

Ben Purrington - Yes - Very consistent

Chris Solly -Yes

Jake Forster-Caskey -Yes (he owes us)

Josh Cullen - Yes (but unlikely)

Jonny Williams - Yes (definitely has ability to scare and hurt teams)

Ben Reeves - No (I really like him and rate him but just can't stay fit)

Tariq Fosu -No (He's burned his bridges it would seem.  Had a crap season)

Mark Marshall - No (I don't dislike him but do feel we might be fishing in a different pond this time)

Igor Vetokele - Yes (Doubt he'd accept an offer and stay but would like him to stay)

Josh Parker - No (Again - I think we are shopping in a different pond)

I'd also give my right nut to keep Bielik

notTHEsimonE

Chris Maxwell - sure he would be fine as a back-up but no way he would want to stay and sit on the bench again.

Ben Purrington - no - he was perfect for us over the last 5 months, reintroducing balance to the defence, but very much a League One player. Don't think he could handle the jump up, despite being a very good player for us this year.

Chris Solly - yes - role model for young players coming through and has proven experience at Championship level. Likely to be replaced by Dijksteel going forward, but think he would be happy with another year at the club.

Jake Forster-Caskey - yes, provided there is some pay-as-you-play element to recognise his injury struggles.

Josh Cullen - 100% yes, but imagine he would want to prove himself at a higher level.

Jonny Williams - no - imagine he is on high wages and too much of a risk with injuries. Plus Ben Reeves is actually a more all round player, even though Jonny Williams is clearly the better player when looking at them from a purely attacking perspective. 

Ben Reeves - yes - a good squad player and offers a good balance between attacking ability and defensive effort. Remains to be seen whether he would be happy sitting on the bench for another season though.

Tariq Fosu - no - if he can't demonstrate consistent ability in League One, then no way will he be able to hack it in the Championship. Also telling that Reading never rated him when he was with them in the Championship.

Mark Marshall - no - a nice guy but definitely not a Championship player. I respect Bowyer's judgment and he clearly does not rate him.

Igor Vetokele - no - for the same wages, we could get a more consistent player who does not have the same injury problems. We can also target a striker to specifically complement Lyle Taylor next season.

Josh Parker - no - have to appreciate his efforts but clearly only a League One player at best. 

Pelling1993

Chris Maxwell - Not unless he takes a wage cut and is happy to be 2nd choice

Ben Purrington - Yes 

Chris Solly - Yes

Jake Forster-Caskey - massive yes, he is class

Josh Cullen - If we can

Jonny Williams - Yes

Ben Reeves - Maybe, if he is cheap hes a decent squad player

Tariq Fosu - No

Mark Marshall - No

Igor Vetokele - If he takes a wage cut then yes, but we need 3 other strikers as you can't rely on him to be fit

Josh Parker - No, not good enough for the Champ

I'd re-sign literally anyone given I believe we currently only have the following - of those with first team minutes - under contract:

GK - Phillips (2021)

RB - Dijksteel (2020) / Solly (2020)

CB - Pearce (2020)

CB - Sarr (2020)

LB - Page (2020)

CM - Pratley (2020)

CM - Lapslie (2021)

CM - Maloney (2020)

CF - Taylor (2020)

JoshAddick

Think we’re being too fussy with players like Reeves. We should keep him. He’s a decent player and I doubt we’re going to be making any groundbreaking signings (if many at all) so he’ll be a good enough squad player at least

In which case that makes eleven players.

That's all we need on the pitch at any one time, right? So there won't be any further movement huh

addick_for_life

Chris Maxwell - no unless a good replacement on the subs bench
Ben Purrington - Only if he is second behind Page who is injury prone

Chris Solly - yes good as a replacement

Jake Forster-Caskey -yes should do well in Championship

Josh Cullen - if only but no chance as he is going back to West Ham

Jonny Williams - yes 

Ben Reeves - Not sure Bowyer fancies him

Tariq Fosu - No and Bowyer has issues with him

Mark Marshall - No 

Igor Vetokele - No not up to Championship football anymoreri

Josh Parker - No

So you would resign Ajose, Marshall and Fosu? Recco? 

BR7_addick

For me, the midfield is the best I’ve seen since the Premier days.

Bielik
Cullen, Aribo
Williams

We cannot lose all four would be suicide, need at least two of them to stay to maintain the spirit and momentum of this season.  Cullen and Bielik not tried and tested in championship and both seem happy here, Williams also, Aribo probably most likely to go.

Yes. That way we'd actually have some players. Obviously we have a couple of months until that goes on but even so, I don't want us in a position where we're unable to field something resembling a full first team on the opening day, like last year.

LonelyNorthernAddick

Chris Maxwell - Yes, but doubt he will want to stay and play second fiddle to Dillon all season. 

Ben Purrington - Yes definitely

Chris Solly - Really? Yes ofc. 

Jake Forster-Caskey - Yes

Josh Cullen - Yes if possible, he'd probably be one of my biggest priorities.

Jonny Williams - Yes, though not most important

Ben Reeves - No

Tariq Fosu - No

Mark Marshall - No

Igor Vetokele - Yes

Josh Parker - If we can't get anyone better in, yes. But think we will need a lot better if we are to survive in Championship as much as I like his attitude.

But if you have set budget, you can't just fill it to make up the numbers. As bowyer said, and proved, last summer.  If you take the ten players listed above plus Morgan and hopefully BFG, assume you will use all 5 loans, you wouldn't want people like Ajose and Marshall using up valuable wage budget would you?

We were short against Sunderland as Bowyer decided to wait for Bielik and Cullen (and Ward). Not ideal but I'd rather wait and sign the right players rather than just go for anybody

palarsehater

all this is lovely but really depends what roland wants to do, imagine bowyer with a bit of spenders

Josh Parker Yes . I suspect his agent would have negotiated something when he signed in January if we got promoted .

I believe I read Charlton simply bought up the rest of his Gillingham contract.

Quite common place in short term football dealings.

O_Andy_Hunt

Cullen has just tweeted basically saying thank you & goodbye ...

dmjn

Chris Maxwell No - can probably get a decent back up cheaper 

Ben Purrington - yes 

Chris Solly - yes 

Jake Forster-Caskey - yes think he deserves a chance 

Josh Cullen - 100 yes but unlikely 

Jonny Williams - another resounding yes 

Ben Reeves - no not a championship player 

Tariq Fosu - see above 

Mark Marshall - see above 

Igor Vetokele - yes if wages are reduced 

Josh Parker - no but with great thanks for his work rate when called upon

He's always a Hammer at heart. 

You know how it is ...... fan, been at West Ham since he was 8 years old, came through the ranks, local lad.

He believes he has the chance to play for his West Ham in the Prem next season.
It's his ambition.

Anfernee Dijksteel also out of contract

He's under contract to 2020

https://www.cafc.co.uk/news/view/595526a82698c/news-anfernee-dijksteel-commits-future-to-charlton

Sorry, I read a few weeks ago, Bowyer said he was talking to Anfernee about a new contract he was hoping to get signed and I presumed (wrongly) that he was out of contract

Dazzler21

Chris Maxwell - Yes

Ben Purrington - Yes

Bauer - Yes
Chris Solly - Yes

Jake Forster-Caskey - Yes

Josh Cullen - Yes if he wants to come back. 

Jonny Williams - Yes

Ben Reeves - Yes - Just about deserves a try.

Bielik - Yes - As per Cullen
Aribo - Yes - As per Cullen and Bielik.
Tariq Fosu - No

Mark Marshall - No

Igor Vetokele - Yes - He'll definitely accept a cut, He'll enjoy a pre-season with Bow, Taylor and Parker. 

Josh Parker - Yes - His pace, tenacity and desire will cause Championship sides problems and a pre-season with Bow and Taylor will do him good.


I can't see us signing too many externals til late on due to circumstance.

Surely we don’t need to keep Reeves. In league 1, I would have but he’s not championship quality .  I appreciate that we are probably losing our whole midfield 

Viewfinder

Chris Maxwell - We have no idea what he's like.  Highly unlikely to be available to us again.
 

Ben Purrington - Reasonably steady.  He and Page competing for LB should be adequate.

Chris Solly - Has declined in recent seasons.  Vulnerable.  Can see him struggling badly against better opposition.

Jake Forster-Caskey - I watched him closely in pre-season games; he was quick, sharp and tough: at the peak of his career.  No-one knows how he'll be affected by the serious injury.

Josh Cullen - I don't join in with the gushing praise; his passes are frequently misplaced.  A busy defensive midfielder at League One level.  Anyway, he has said his goodbyes on social media and fancies his chances back at West Ham.
    

Jonny Williams - He has the attacking verve to liven up a turgid performance by the others; witness Wembley.  I'd keep him.
 

Ben Reeves - A curate's egg.  Seemed to be developing from an ineffective lightweight to a smart operator around the box.  Can unpick defences and get on the end of moves to score goals.  But Bowyer seems to favour Morgan and Lapslie.  I don't.

Tariq Fosu - His ship has sailed.

Mark Marshall - No!  Weak in League One; would be all adrift in the Champs.

Igor Vetokele - Sorry, lad: It hasn't worked out.  Best wishes.

Josh Parker - No!  Rejected by Gillingham speaks volumes.

This is understandable, but we have so few at the minute that I'm getting a bit panicky, even though we've not finished May yet. It certainly wasn't anything near this last year.
