New signings are a must.

fog hornfog horn
in General Charlton
New signings are a must in the next 2 weeks. I have been saying for weeks once our players are back fit we will be fine. They trouble we have now we seem to be rushing them back and they are braking down again. If we don’t get some players in I can just see it our injury list not improving. They need to be played here and there. And players like pratley need a rest. Still think we have what it takes to stay up. But it wouldn’t be Charlton if we did it the easy way.

    I think we need a few more. You can never have enough.

    Nah, I think we're fine as we are.
    If anything we need to be shipping players out.  We are up to squad number 46 now - Southall talks about being sustainable....having 46 first team players is hardly that.

    This is a serious and well thought point. If we have too many players, will buying more marque players risk taking is to brink of financial fair play regulation limits or beyond. Much as we all want to see some signings but is there much scope for spending within the limits. That info would be helpful so fans can raise our reduce expectations.

    Bang goes my thread: "We need wins to stay up"
    It would have made a good companion to my, 'All these defeats are having a negative effect on our league position'.

    They need to be the 'right type' of signings and not the 2020 model of a Roger Johnson equivalent particularly given the current susceptibility of our players to miss a month or two at the drop of a hat.

    It's rumoured we are looking at a couple of Bristol Rovers players and that Madison will now go to the Brum.

    Our new owner says he will save us through the use of "technology" ?!!

    Unless the owners take our predicament seriously and sign 4 or 5 quality players in the next week or so, we will be going down. Bowyer made the point after yesterday's match and worryingly suggested that he is not being listened to.

    The honeymoon will soon end if ESI do not use the last word in their abbreviated name and start spending she wedge.

    I do not blame Bowyer, but Matt Southall and ESI now need to step up. Otherwise, they will have spent a lot of cash on what will become a league 1 club. Other clubs are doing business - why not us?

    Agree, but Gallen has proven an expert at finding some good players. He also needs to step up.

    Well they've promised to spend a lot of cash, but they've deferred buying the Valley and training ground (probably just to speed up the takeover), and as Roland said he'd give the club away for free I'm not sure they've spent anything at all as yet.

    "Step up"? So what do you think he is doing? Listen to what Bowyer has said; they are both constantly on their phones and meeting players. NO ONE will sign for us until Bow's future is sorted, that's the first question potential signing ask. Yes, they may want to sign for us but they want to play under Bowyer. So, for the 1,000th time, get the boy's contract sorted, and the rest will hopefully follow. We all know that one win in seventeen is relegation form, nailed on. We can't keep on relying on the clubs below us to keep losing - they wont. Another week with no news both on the pitch and off it is unacceptable. So come on Mr Chairman, you've been saying all the things people want to hear but words are cheap, actions speak louder, or do you want to be chairman of a third division club next season?

    For everyone who keeps saying we need signings....could you contribute by suggesting actual names? Rather than just aimlessly suggesting we need signings? People forget where we were before the injuries!!

    Not disrespecting Bowyer, or your views at all @addick19 but do we really think Bowyer is regarded that highly outside of Charlton? I mean I know he's been tapped for a couple of jobs, and I like him as our manager but I can't really see that being a huge influence on potential signings. Could be a factor in renewals but I don't think people would be bothered which of the top 50 managers (which as a champ manager you presumably are) in UK football they are playing under.

    Well if they know please tell them to get a move on.
    They've had since the middle of November to compile a list.

    His exact words were: “That is not always about spending lots of money, but about being at the forefront of technology and development.”

    That is ridiculous. We know there is a list of names already and Gallen and Bowyer are better qualified to add to that list if required. People can of course make the general observation that we need signings urgently without specifying who they are. It is the same as saying we need to score goals and inviting Lifers to step up and score some!
