    I’m fairly certain that all our targets both first and second and possibly third are all looking at the options available to them. Their agents won’t be in any rush for them to sign. They’ll all be doing exactly what Chuks is currently doing.

    I guess the euro's will have an impact as well - not directly but indirectly with the trickle down effect

    People now fixating upon the magical 9th June, that date means absolutely sod all in us announcing signings
    I honestly don't believe there would be a mass unveiling without it leaking. 

    If there is a mass unveiling there will be plenty of leaking on here in the aftermath.

    Trust Bowyer to stick his oar in, just no getting away from his input in our affairs is there.
    Don’t worry, he will probably call him a c**t and sub him off after 10 mins of contract talks.

    Mullins, Purse and Mullins again.

    I don't expect TS to get his wallet out until the January window  .

    One ex player who will not be returning is Rob Elliot .

    He has signed a two year deal with Watford . Clearly happy to be a third choice keeper in the Prem .

    But it worked okay in 18/19. Priority #1 is getting the right players. If you have to wait for them, that is preferable to signing lower quality players early, imo. The difference in 18/19 was we were choosing to wait for players like Cullen and Bielik who had been lined up much earlier in the summer. Last year we were forced to wait by the embargo and ended up having to rush into signing what was still available, rather than players we had identified much earlier but just weren't definitely available until late on.

    We've missed out on Stockley.




    He's signing for Gillingham after hearing that's the only way he can get a friendly appearance against Welling under his belt.

    Don’t think we will need to spend much on fees as so many good players out of contract. Just need to compete on wages.

    Not quite sure that's true, Gunter and Watson were identified a long time before they signed.

    Young centre half Urhoghide at the Massive has turned down a new contract offer, believed to be £1100 a week  :o

    But we didn't need 15ish players in 18/19.

    Assuming the squad will be the same size as last year

    5 loans have gone back
    5 players have been released
    5 players have yet to sign the contracts we have offered.

    In 18/19 we signed Taylor in later June and IIRC Pratley signed days before the season started and that was that for permanent signings.  I don't actually think we would have signed both Beilek and Cullen if JFC hadn't got injured.

    We need at least 8 or 9 players signed, or resigned, before the preseason friendly period starts.  Else come November there will be people saying its OK we are 15th they just need time to gel.

    N.B i don't think we will be 15tu in November but was making a point.

    Now we’re talking.  If we haven’t made an offer to re-sign him, this is the sort of pragmatic action (or in-action) we need.  Obviously can’t read too much into this, but if we haven’t offered him a contract, I’d be pleased

    Not the sort of behaviour I would like from our Club to be honest.

    Maybe the medical diagnosis is worse than feared. Who knows. He has worked so hard to come back from injuries and I hope he does so again.

    I really hope we haven't taken advantage of his injury situation and offered him a measly contract with the knowledge he'll struggle to sign elsewhere

    OS article certainly seemed to suggest we offered JFC a deal, but maybe he's turned it down. Would be very disappointed if w didn't at least offer him some kind of deal and support with his rehab - it's actions like that that give us a good rep as a club as a place players want to play and why so many former players have affection for the club. Would be un-Charlton like to just ditch him, and not a direction I'd want the club to start going in.

    It should be a one year extension to his current contract, remember that was originally signed at the start of Roland's austerity, and has already been rolled over twice. It won't be that much.
