    Was it Chris Wilder that signed Kean Bryan for Sheffield Utd ? If it was then he’s a pretty good manager who must have seen something about him. 
    That was one of my first thoughts. They’re now 8th in Prem, not being good enough for them now doesn’t mean he can’t be good for us.

    Some Charlton lifers, 2020.
    Fixed it for you.
    Think he got it right first time pal 
  • My God some of then names being banded about on here are a joke.

    He wasn't good enough last year in this division.

    We're just going to get a few bodies in to sure up the ship and hopefully get us safe, just, this season. I still think ppl will be disappointed even in the summer though. Early indications we'll still be shopping for out of contract / free transfers. Hopefully a step above our previous frees but free transfers none the less. 

    why then have ESI spent a bund,e on the club, if that's the casse?
    You don't build a squad to challenge for promotion in the January window - it is to plug gaps. There are no nuggets available in January.

    We will not be promoted this season but we could go down - priority one is survival.

    We survive and then the test will come in the summer to answer the questions about how serious the new owners are to maximise their investment. You do not spend £30-40-50 whatever million to buy a club and commit £15 million to getting a Cat 1 academy just to tread water in the Championship.
    Good post and I agree 100%. The concern on face value is what plug Kean gaps? We are not lacking a half decent defender, we are lacking midfield numbers and a quality CB. But he could surprise us again, hopefully he comes eager to get his career back on track. 
     Lose Lockyer or Pearce and we are in serious trouble. Not beyond the realms of possibility considering the amount of games they've played and our luck.

    I'd say a CB is as much a priority as anywhere else
    You can argue about whether they are good enough at this level, but we are well covered in that position, with Sarr and Oshilaja, and Pratley who can also play there. I'm not sure any teams needs more than 4 (+ Pratley) CBs unless they are intending to play 3 at the back all the time.

    Kean sounds like a promising footballer, I could see him at LB or in midfield, I'm not sure I would have someone so inexperienced against Mitrovic, Fletcher or Matt Smith though, none of those Oldham fans mentioned aerial ability for example.

    In Gallen and Bowyer we trust.
    They haven't steered us wrong yet
    No reason to think they are going to now.
    Keep the Faith

    They had a settled team with several players making 40+ league appearances. Their squad was pretty big as well. No way of telling how we'd have coped as he never got a run of games.

    Can keep reporting what they like, same as Daily Mail who keep reporting nonsense. Conor is staying here.
    Its frustrating when they both keep sprouting the same old nonsense!!!

    KAG was a nugget last January.  Taylor likely will be this January.  Williams for us also a nugget last January.  They are about, they usually have 6 months left on their contract.

    What's a nugget!?!?!
  • Good to see you've learnt Kiwi 😂
  • Seems most teams have quiet Jan windows, surely no one has the constant clusterfuck of one we do if we lose Gallagher

    The optimist in me saw Chelsea trying to sign Gelson Fernandes from Benfica on an 18 month loan deal and I hoped that the rumour that Conor was going to stay on loan until the summer of 2021 might be true! 🙈🤞🏻🤞🏻🙏

    Can’t see any prem club needing Gallagher at the moment. 
    Chelsea also want him playing.
    Seems they trust us with their little gem.

    He probably will stay out on loan what with their transfer embargo being lifted, but absolutely no chance of it being us.

    Must be Maddison release clause being met surely.  He’s quality, very similar to Jonniesta.

    How much is his release cause worth?

    The Posh chairman has said buying that Barnet player has nothing to do with Maddison, also I think he was bought for 6 figures with add ons, not sure how much.

    Worth nothing though that he has already accepted Maddison is gone one way or another so they would definitely accept his buyout I would say, he thinks money that bloke.

    With Maddison and the buyout it's a dodgy one, paying over 2 mill for a l1 player is a lot and probably not worth it if it doesn't pay off, but you do eliminate the other teams who will be in for him looking to take a punt so to speak when he's a free in the summer. I think with how consistent he has been the past 4 or so seasons and the interest he will gain it is worth the fee. 

    Edit: been reminded that obviously a buyout clause means a buyout clause. Numpty
