    When was our maddison bid accepted? I think a lot of us thought that was the start of some serious investment (the deals pending comment did little to lessen that). Since then, there has been nothing of note so people are understandably frustrated - especially after the shite fest of the RD era and how utterly disappointing transfer windows tended to be under his stewardship.

    We can but hope things are underway in the background - I don't think we heard of many of our summer deals until the last minute? But when/if the signings do materialise, I think the least we can expect is some seriously impressive reveals involving the reincarnation of the one and only scarfy.

    CAFC polls posted the question would Pogba be a good signing, and a few people said no so I asked the question why people were saying no and if people had seen him play, this was a response from an Atlanta fan



    Pogba had many good moments for #ATLUTD in 2019! We let him go more about the $ than what he provided for us which was some solid depth when we needed it. He's very strong and most defenders can't win the ball from him. To me he would be a great addition.

    Can see Pogba signing on a short term deal and either Parrott or Idah signing on loan.

    I would very much like to sign a centre midfielder for a fee that can come straight in and strengthen the side.

    All the above and I would be fairly happy.

    Pogba's CV looks pretty bland and basic.
    If his CV said Barca, Bayern and Juve do you think he'd be training with us?
    His total transfer fees amount to £450k and has never excelled at any of his mediocre clubs over career. 
    Gallen and Bowyer won’t sign him then if they don’t think he’s good enough.
    I give you Joe Ledley.

    The issue with the MLS is there trying to get a new collective bargaining agreement sorted, and clubs won't hold players like Pogba or recommit on contracts until that's sorted. 

    The current CBA expires on the 31st

    We were extremely desperate then and gave him a one month deal. With Purrington and the emergence of Doherty, we aren’t at that stage of need for a Left back.

    I think that was more of a desperation signing due to the injury crisis. Hence the one month deal. 

    That being said I do think it's slightly weird considering he only played that one half and was never used again even though he was on the bench.

    Throwing him in from the start of the Boro game was one of the rare occasions when Bowyer got it wrong

    Ledley was still a poor signing and Bows got his selection wrong at Boro. Then he never played against despite the injuries, was truly bizarre. 

    I agree we don't need a Left-Back anymore though. Purrington is decent in a 4 and Doughty is doing well. 

    That being said, I think Pogba is a CB who can do a job at LB. He is similar to Sarr so unless he's better it would be a pointless signing.

    I haven't watched much MLS in the last couple of years but anytime I have watched it I've been surprised by how poor the defending is. Lots of talent in the league, particularly in attack but defending has been poor. Hard to say if thats down to talent or tactics. The one MLS game (Seattle vs San Jose in 2016) I was at I was shocked at how both teams refused to clear the ball when under pressure. I'm not saying hoofing the ball clear is always the most optimal strategy but I don't believe there was a single time where a team would choose to get rid of the ball when under pressure, which is admirable but seems shortsighted to me. That was 3 and a half years ago and I've only seen a handful of games since.

    I take a similar stance.  We need a more commanding centre back, but not sure how many are out there that fit our jan budget 

    I would like at least 2 midfielders, one central, on the basis that Pratley needs a rest every now and then, and I want one more creative/goalscoring midfielder if you will.

    and then, one forward, but I say this on the basis Taylor stays 

    I can understand, but I would hope people wouldn’t go into total meltdown if we struggle to get the bodies in.  I still think variables outside of our control and excessive fees/wages are prohibiting us getting bodies in.  I know ESI said that they wanted to take over on Jan 1st to get bodies in, and they have made a bit of a rod for their own back in that regard, but I would be a little disappointed if the mood toward them suddenly turned off the back of not being able to bring players in.  I personally think we’re up against in this window, and it may not be as straightforward as we all have wished

    No bones about it, Florentin Pogba would be a poor signing. The definition of a journeyman.

    Ooo good... Pogba has played for one less club than Kermorgant did before he joined us - God knows what is wrong with signing a "journeyman"

    Not to mention five clubs is hardly that of a journeyman these days

    Bowyer has said that he thinks Taylor will stay (didn’t specify whether for the season or in a new contract) but that he thought that about Gallagher and he was wrong there.

    Bowyer has said Lyle made a little joke in the drawing room after the last game but didn’t say about what. Linked to that he said that he thought that he (aBowyer) signing a new contract might help but he wasn’t sure and was going to talk to Lyle face to face after the weekend that see what Lyle had to say.

    Matt Southall has said we will only let Lyle go this season if we get a huge offer for him. 

    My best guess is that Lyle will stay for the remainder of the season and then it will be up to us to try and match oppo bids in the summer window. 
    I like the idea of having a drawing room at Charlton. Prefer a winning room though.

    I suppose a trophy room is out of the question?

    My very reliable source says there was only one trialist. The Tooting lad was the sub trialist but there was a misunderstanding

    The actual trialist plays for Met Police.

    Cue bedwetting over "is that our level?"

    Remember Davison came from Enfield and it was the U23s

    Agree about not pestering Cawley. 

    Think we we should target his Palace supporting apprentice though. What’s his name? Lewis something I think.

    Why nothing? The club can still sign players while Cawley is off. He ain’t the only reliable source.

    I’ll finish my sentence then.

    Expect nothing and nothing for the next two days but shite from twitter accounts and wannabe ITK’s.
