I feel we have got right back covered0

I know I have a long standing reputation on CL for wearing rose-tinted specs ....... but providing the Three Amigos stay, I believe the football side of things is in safe hands.simonmatthews said:Looking back on four promotions from the third tier (1975,1981, 2012, 2019) this is the only one where I've felt that rather than some reasonable incremental improvements in the squad, it might all collapse into disaster very quickly.
Like that of Curbs, Bowyer's way of team building, team spirit and camaraderie equals a team greater than it's sum of parts.
There's more to it than that though; more than player bonding, 100% effort and running through brick walls ....... Bowyer needs his team to play a passing game; he's wanting players of with a decent 1st touch and ball playing ability.
Enter Steve Gallen to identify targets of suitable ability and character - players need to have the right character.
Curbs and Chris Powell used to interview prospective signings themselves to ensure they had the right personality to fit in with their team ethic. Bowyer himself seems to be a great pull .... players want to sign for him to improve and learn what they can from an experienced old pro who played for many years at the top level.
The Three Amigos already have the blueprint. It proved itself this season - and there's every reason to believe they'll use the same principles rebuilding the team.

We want L B to sign new contract first 👍5

So do I, but not because their staying will in itself make everything alright. You can have as much camaraderie as you like, and run through brick walls and 10 or 11 miles every game, plus enjoy the best-quality coaching in your division, but if you have not got sufficient players of ability you will get relegated. We would not get far with a team of Josh Parkers and Mark Marshalls, however well coached and motivated.Oggy Red said:

The reason I agree with your statement is that The Three Amigos will not stay unless they feel assured that they will get adequate financial backing for player purchases and wages, whether from RD or new owners.
As soon as I read they have all signed I will know there has either been a change of heart from the heartless one, or that new owners are incoming. The Three Amigos are all too intelligent and sought-after to sign otherwise.1 -
We were incredibly unlucky with injuries this year, notwithstanding the lack of general cover. Contrast with CP promotion, most of XI started week in, week out. Is Sparrows Lane pitch an issue? But how many sides suffer a shoulder dislocation in a season? Two in a match is unbelievable.1

Ajose?! Was he still with us?0

Realistically at the moment we have to look at Millwall. Not spent much, but have stayed up for 2 seasons, which shows what can be done3

Yes, contracted to end of June. Was on loan to Mansfield, where he misfired, then was injured. Now on holiday in New York with his Charlton chums.SexyDave said:Ajose?! Was he still with us?0 -
This. What player other than journeyman needing any club, or those stepping up a league, would want to sign on dotted line not knowing who is in the squad and who the manager will.be next week. As for attracting players, I think we can only attract them if we pay the same or more than competition. We love us but players are just AT WORK if I got offered £5k a year more I wouldn't move jobs. If a Championship player gets offered £500,000 a year more, well that's worth considering whoever the club is.money talks unless it is a great club with really good set up. For Charlton to attract the quality we are seeking, Taylor and others need to be on long term deals and Bowyer and Jacko at least three years rolling contract. Like a player the management can and will get poached, so sign them up you twit Roland!!!!Charltonstu said:We want L B to sign new contract first 👍

I’m hoping that the outs/ stayings that have already occurred indicate that LB knows he is staying and may already have signed - it’s just not been announced. As ever, we live in hope.1

If Bowyer leaves then I'll worry....0

Great news and assume its true - aribo next, then cullen and bielek return in late summer, we add 3 or 4 players of real quality and wollop - watch out championship - until any one of those 4 announce they wont be here next year, i'm assuming they will all be back. Of course bielek and cullen are going to try and get into a premiership squad but whether it happens is another matter and we must be the obvious plan b for them3

Can't be true on the basis of that phrase alone - unless of course the intention is to sell him come January.JessieAddick said:Just saw this on Twitter:

Defender Patrick Bauer is set snub interest from a number of clubs including Rangers to sign a bumper new deal at Charlton Athletic, Football Insider can reveal.
What is the credibility of this Football Insider? I know nothing about it.0 -
Disgrace Bauer wasn’t offered any sort of deal earlier in the year. If we manage to sign him up even despite that, it’s because he loves being at the club and the fans he knows here.

Bauer said last close season he would not be signing a new deal, because he wanted to play in the Championship.Alwaysneil said:Disgrace Bauer wasn’t offered any sort of deal earlier in the year.

I'm not sure whether we offered him a deal knowing he would turn it down, but it it would have appeared to be somewhat pointless.1 -
With a few high earners leaving, hopefully we have offered Pat and Joe considerably improved deals .Covered End said:

Bauer a bit like Ramsey at Arsenal in the respect of the way to conduct yourself if you want a move, both played out the season at their usual high standards and showed to their clubs. I’ll have no issue with BFG if he ends up somewhere else.Covered End said:

I hope this is true about Bauer. I bumped into Tony Mowbray on holiday the other day and he was happy to tell me that he was speaking with him/his representatives about a move to Blackburn - he seemed confident. This was before it was made public that he was offered a new contract though.0
-
I guess Bauer made his feelings known at the start of the season because he wanted to play in the Championship and with him being in the last year ot his contract was expected to be sold rather than to be lost on a free
Thankfully for once Roland didnt take the bluff and so kept him, happily now Bauer has the dilemma of whether to stay where he's settled or take a risk and move now - For that reason I imagine we wouldnt have seen that statement had we been promoted via the Play-Offs last season instead0 - Sponsored links:

The guy is a cock.

I heard slightly differently that Bauer wanted to stay and no one approached him to discuss his position at the club at all. Until now.ForeverAddickted said:I guess Bauer made his feelings known at the start of the season because he wanted to play in the Championship and with him being in the last year ot his contract was expected to be sold rather than to be lost on a free

Now you can argue that we could not afford him in league one but to not talk to him at all is an absolute disgrace.2 -

Mowbray was at the first leg at Donny, walked past him on the way into the ground.ReturningAddick said:I hope this is true about Bauer.

Luca Vega from Ipswich is a centre half.
Charles Clayden from Orient is a striker.
Nathan Harness from Stevenage is a keeper.
All signed for the U23s.4 -

Seems strange to have another keeper when we have AMB (21) and is it Ohadjie who must be 19. I have a feeling then that Ashley is going to be our back-up for Dillon.0

Not really, AMB turns 20 in the summer and had two short loan spells last season. I’d expect him to be loaned out again, this time for a longer spell. The other two will probably get their fair share of u23 games and potentially a short term loan if/when they’re ready.harveys_gardener said:Seems strange to have another keeper when we have AMB (21) and is it Ohadjie who must be 19.
