    Cawley interview on Charlton Live...

    - Still expecting two incomings. Maybe three but more likely to just be the two.

    - Albie Morgan the only player we are looking to loan out but no interest from EFL clubs and non league window is different so deal doesn’t have to be done tomorrow.

    - Sorba Thomas sounds like the unlikely third deal. Cawley’s been told that Boreham Wood are being difficult to work with and so it might not be done in time for the deadline.

    - We’re not interested in taking Ben Woodburn or Timmy Abraham.

    - Paul Smyth is definitely one of the attacking options on our radar.

    - We wanted to sign Matty Taylor but couldn’t get him to hang on until after the takeover was completed. He signed a deal with Oxford before the salary cap came in.

    - Doughty is likely to stay unless we get an offer we can’t refuse. Compensation would be minimal if we can’t get him to sign a new deal. He’s not going to sign a deal with us in L1 due to the salary cap.

    - Dillon had interest from Birmingham and Middlesbrough but nothing has materialised. All the offers don’t meet our valuation. Cawley thinks we should take whatever offers we get for him now rather than lose him for free later.
    Puzzled by that, not a reputation they need as a National League club and during the pandemic a 6 figure fee is not to be sniffed at
    Playing us like a fiddle, give em time ,they'll bite our hand for
    a 6 figure sum ;)
    Suppose it depends how big a 6 figure sum that is and who blinks first

    That could explain our offer offer getting leaked. Sorba will not be happy if nothing happens.
    And we're happy to have Cawley dropping none too subtle hints that it's his current club to blame. Cranks the pressure up a notch.
    You could maybe call it a bit hypocritical after denouncing the Scottish mob's making subtle and cunning eyes at Doughty but really in both cases it's sadly the way of the game these days.

    "Boreham Wood are proving tricky to deal with ......"

    No non-League club stands in the way of a young player who gets the opportunity to make a career at a decent League level.
    It's just a question of being, in their eyes, properly compensated ......... £££££££££££££££

    If we meet their valuation, they let him go. 
     


    Unless we are being cheeky ourselves by offering a bid that is still lower than what they'd want in normal circumstances

    Yet we're trying to exploit their current issues what with being out of pocket due to COVID
  • Perhaps they’re not happy with our offer, can’t hold a player back from moving to a league club but as mentioned they will have a valuation, we just need to be patient.

    Fair point i suppose, but non league, and a 6 figure sum, should be
    like taking candy from a baby, not trying to belittle anyone, but big
    money in that league, is what they need particularly now

    I don't know about us trying to exploit their current issues - but we'll have a valuation of what we think the player is worth.
    It's bound to be lower than theirs.

    It's a market place and no doubt they'll be haggling; in time honoured fashion they'll possibly accept a price half way between their valuation and ours.
    Or another club is scenting the player is available and willing to meet their asking price.

    I feel a house buying analogy coming on ........... :smile:

  • Matt Smith (the one we had) going to Doncaster on loan.


    Thank fuck for that.

  • Borehamwood being 'tricky' probably means they're trying to get another 50-100k out of the deal.

    There's surely no way they're going to stop the kid leaving for a league club, and if they do he's almost certainly not going to be happy.
  • Found us a striker... thoughts?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jizz_Hornkamp
    Jizz or Reza ? Not much difference
  • You can hardly blame Borehamwood for wanting to get a high a fee as possible

    If West Ham bid £200k for Doughty, we would hardly say "he's worth more but we can't deny him a dream move to the PL so we'll take the offer"

    Alfie Spanner's going to West Ham for £200k .....? He had his heart set on Celtic.

    Agreed, Boreham Wood being difficult could mean anything. Like all signings, we should pay upto what we think he's worth.
    He's a non league player and this would be a good opportunity for him, but he plays for Boreham Wood and so they are entitled to a decent enough fee.

    Nope suffered with a plantar fascia injury myself. Also have a history in the fitness industry when I was younger and am currently studying for PT exam.

    Playing games with the Window close to closing so are hoping that we'll get desperate perhaps?
    Should imagine they will be more desperate than us tbh.
    We have new money that will cover us during the pandemic.
    wonder what their situation is like

    They have a good relationship with Arsenal, Arsenal ladies share their ground and Arsenal paid for a lot of the upgrade work

    Happy for them to get a decent fee. It’s how clubs survive, us included, despite Roland letting players go for nothing.

    Is the Plantar fascia anywhere near the metatarsals ? Rooney and Beckham made that quite fashionable 10 years ago.
    Origin of the plantar fascia is the calcaneus and the insertion is the inferior metatarsal head. 
    Yep, I thought that's what you said. :smile:


    Found a nice image to show what I mean.

    The two bones at the end of the foot are the big toe phalanges. So the plantar fascia inserts to the underneath of the top of the first metatarsal but it’s origin is the calcaneus, the correct name for what people refer to the heel bone.

    Was going to say the same thing.  Are Boreham Wood being difficult or just standing firm on what they think he is worth (like us with Doughty and Phillips)
  • Very good and easy to see @Sage Thank you.

    Physio is your stock in trade, isn't it?

    Emiliano Marcondes AM from Brentford. 
    Seem to recall you are one of the real ITK people on here.... Interesting rumour and sounds decent.  Hard to see it happening but, yes please.

    No chance.
    K@KentishAddick

     Why do you say that? His Wiki suggests he is a not quite proven championship player. Charlton would be a chance to cement first team English football and under the tutelage of LB ... and at an ambitious club.
  • Starting to think Nikko is out of the loop, maybe the threat of @Dazzler21 hitman has put the frighteners on him. ;)

    Couldn’t agree more. From the Premiership down clubs need to pay a decent fee so the money flows down and keeps clubs going. 

    Clubs like Celtic and Rangers nicking young players without paying the right compensation is a disgrace.

    He's been playing regularly for Brentford this season, seems unlikely they'd want to sell him or loan him out.
