I think Gilbey and Washington were signed before the new rules came into play, so they'd count as 2k a week alsocafcfan1990 said:
Phillips, Amos, Deji, Purrington, Pearce, Pratley, JFC, Williams, Lapslie, Oztumer, Aneke and Bonne all count as 2k you’d expect (doubt any are on less). Gilbey, Watson and Washington will count as whatever they’re on. I’m going to estimate 35k per week which is about 1.8million. So in theory we should have around 14k a week left. I’m hopeful that can bring in 3/4 decent permanents alongside 2/3 young loans. Could boost that figure slightly if Phillips goes.Oggy Red said:
You might be right there. Even so, they're not going to be yet on the average wage, let alone top earners.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
Also we currently have AMB, Barker, Doughty, Morgan, Levitt, Dempsey, Vennings and Davison in our squad who are all 21 and under so they don't count towards the cap.Callumcafc said:It’s not a 2k limit per player, more like an overall limit on the entire squad which averages out to 2k per player. If we’ve gone over 2k here, that leaves us with less money to spend on other new signings.1 -

The government have announced you have to self-isolate for 14 days if you sign for Huddersfield?Oggy Red said:

Let’s hope he’s more of a Darren Pratley type of signing for us than a Joe Ledley!3

I've read about that, but it still seems odd. I don't recall other players having to self isolate like that because they were signed as free agentsOggy Red said:

Indeed how have trialists played for clubs if they were free agents beforehand?0 -
Back to the thread (other than I hope Taylor gets eaten by a passing Alligator) Watson scored one of my favourite cup final goals when Wigan F****d Man City.
Welcome Ben.

Sorry but how can you say that about AMB who has never played a game in League One?cafcfan1990 said:
Maybe, but it’s a position where we have 2 players good enough to play every week.SoundAsa£ said:

here's a pub quiz question for you... when was the last time we had an FA Cup final goalscorer play for us? ...1947?0

Taylor was shit and subbed15

Steve Mackenzie (albeit in a replay) 1981. Must be a few others, that’s one that sticks in my mind.Rufus is a dogs name said:here's a pub quiz question for you... when was the last time we had an FA Cup final goalscorer play for us? ...1947?6 -

Potential to be a seriously good signing2

Exiled_Addick said:Shame he’s ex palace but always thought he was a very tidy player. Getting him at the wrong end of his career but based on last season’s stats there’s plenty of life left in the old dog yet.Verdict: Good signing.Welcome Ben.
Chris Powell, Johnny Williams, Mark Bright,
David Whyte. Getting players from Palace or have been at Palace is no problem.
I will concede that Joe Ledley was a Turkey of a signing.

No worries can see how it could be read differently. My point was that although Phillips is a cracking keeper I’m really not that fussed if he wants out. He’s probably the only player good enough to be in our current best XI who I’d be content to see go.LargeAddick said:

He and Pratley taking no prisoners2
-
Very happy with this signing1
-
Sounds a good signing, obviously age wise he's not a youngster but if he can still do it then it's a great addition. Pratley and Watson in midfield if we're near the top come the business end of the season will be invaluable.1
-
Very positive signing. Any signings are positive, but his experience is invaluable at League One this season.
Welcome to Charlton Athletic, formerly known as Shitshow Athletic, that are now back under stable and respectable ownership and ON OUR WAY BACK!4 -

This was my first thought as well, good shout.Clem_Snide said:Great signing. I actually think he could end up on the coaching staff. One year playing then perhaps a player/coach role.0
