With Oztumer, Lapslie loaned and Phillips not in the squad, thats at least £7.5k per week right? I'd rather just get 1 proven striker in and pay him most of that
You'd like to think £5k on a striker, the rest on somebody else and a U21 loan?
I think Dillon's agent has screwed him over by looking selfishly for a personal 'pay-day'. Dillon would be well advised to dump his agent or he may end up out of the limelight for the season, such a pity when agents get involved and end up screwing it up!

Looks like we’re after 2 so you’d hope we will put all that money onto the striker and the second signing being a youngster and hence not counting towards the cap.
Tangential question: If I get a basic ValleyPass subscription does it give me access to delayed extended highlights for every game? and how soon after the match are the highlights available? (NB: picture of no relevance and simply used to get someone's attention)
Or maybe he's not as good as a lot of people on here (and his agent) think.
Presumably we'll find out more after the window closes.
If it turns out he is still with us I don't think it would be a bad thing. He was our POTY last year and that wasn't too long ago given the extension to the season.
They are all grown-ups as well as being professional footballers and ex-footballers. I'd like to think any hatchets could be buried. As to the agent however, that would be an excellent starting spot for the first hatchet...

The Borehamwood kid is obviously keen as he has started following the club on twitter, how significant that is I don’t know.
In 2020 it is significant, that a young player is following a club from two levels up the football Pyrimid. A deal should be able to be worked out if we could offer a player to go to Boreham wood on loan.(won't be like for like) Morgan surely would strengthen a team in the National League ? Offer a deal similar to Grant's: 20% on next move. Or Thomas Sandgaard offers more money up front with a bonus for amount of games played.
There must be room for creativity in transfers.
We have been eaten in the food chain on the last day of the transfer window going back to Scott Parker; it's about time we had a feast.
I said this before but I'll say it again: why such resistance to Smyth? He's young, quick, hasn't found his feet yet, but according to people who know better than us has the ability to break through. He'd supplement our other forwards and we wouldn't necessarily depend on him. I know we only have room for 1 or 2 more players, but given a choice between him and Sorba Thomas, surely the one with league experience is preferable for a promotion push? Or we sign both!
Bowyer has proved that he is Charlton through and through and the club means much more to him than just a job. There is no way he would have stayed around otherwise and I think he expects the same from his players. If they won't give their all then he will take the action he thinks appropriate.

Looks like to me that Phillips has had some bad guidance by his agent.
There plan seems to have backfired and left Dil in limbo!
Could also be the club are making a statement about how they will deal with players refusing to sign new contracts. Make no mistake, Dillon is in a bad position if he’s excluded from our squad. Yes I’m sure he’ll get a gig when his contract expires but his star will have fallen dramatically as will his earning potential.

Phillips is a very good shot stopper but his kicking severely lets him down. Also not great at commanding his area and punches/flaps a little too much for my liking. Is he better than Amos, possilbly but not enough for him and his agent to be dicking around.

Yeah I agree, its a good stance from the club for sure.
I have no sympathy for him or his agent. Treat the club who gave you a chance a bit better and you might go with there blessing.

I am pretty sure Amos wouldn't have signed if he knew Phillips would be here. If they are both still here tonight, one of them is going to be royally pissed off and, on balance, that deserves to be Phillips.

But then did Amos stay because of the difficulties players are having with finding new clubs thanks to COVID and this salary cap?
Yet another leak from LB via Cawley about Phillips.
LB really knows how to play the media game and get rid of players he doesn't want doesn't he? If he doesn't call them out publicly for missing open goals then he'll drip feed information about his number one keeper via his press agent!
Dillon Phillips was well in credit after last season including when we put out an U21 midfield because of injuries. He kept the score down in so many matches.
Butland to Palace then Phillips to Stoke. 9 months left on contract so a smaller fee I would imagine.
If we hadn't been relegated we wouldn't be having these issues and wage cap problems.

A bit like the Boreham Wood player that we're trying to sign then
