AMB needs to be loaned out. It'll be interesting what we do with our younger keepers as we seem to have a lot of them. GK is one position where you can bring in emergency loans anyway, with the likes of Lumley and Bursik playing for several L1 clubs last season
Everyone please chill out. We will sign 4-5 more players without a doubt. 2-3 will be loans and they almost always happen right at the end of the window due to Prem clubs announcing their squads and the filter down effect that has.
Plenty of work is happening in the background with a couple of deals very close. Those at the club are well aware that we are short, but also aware that it is better to wait a few weeks and get the right players rather than just signing what is available right now to appease fans and bolster numbers.
We will have a very competitive squad come end of the window, of that I can promise. Whether it is good enough to finish top 2 rather than top 6 will be up for debate. Wigan and Ipswich are spending a LOT of money and I’m glad we aren’t doing that.
P.s whoever said we missed out on Fraser bye £300 p/w is missing a zero off the end, he is another player on more than £10k at Ipswich.
Only 4-5 would mean something like LB, CB, CM, W, ST
I’d like to think it’ll be a few more to give us proper depth across the midfield.
I agree. Personally think we need: - Left back as good as or better than Purrington - Centre back who can step in for Inniss as he won’t be able to play every game this season - Two central midfielders better than Gilbey and Morgan - Two wingers so we aren’t relying on DJ the whole time - Striker to replace Aneke
This, and a gk if AMB is loaned out.
Yes, 100%. AMB will be loaned out, gains nothing as a number 2 again all season. Needs to be playing now.
Really wont be surprised if Harness acts as No.2 this season - With three appearances in the EFL Trophy
He's certainly no stranger to the bench... The only down side is you're relying heavily on MacGillivray staying fit, as he showed with his mistake for the Dartford goal yesterday, he's not ready for League Football.
And I certainly hope we dont send Maynard-Brewer to a Conference team (so we can recall if Mac gets injured), think he needs to have a Bury or York style loan in League Two that we saw Nick Pope benefiting from

Same can be said for pretty much every position except right back where we have cover.

Going to jinx it here, but with most keepers you can rely on them staying fit... e.g. Nearly all other positions will no doubt get rotated just to give others a rest, that dont happen with the Goalkeeper

Agreed, my point was mainly on the lack of depth across the whole first 11
Wait until the transfer window finishes then form an opinion.
Opinions are formed by changing events, not when it is too late. 😀
But it is irrelevant if it is too late or not as we won't impact on it being good nor bad. We just have to let them get on with it and as Elfsborg suggests, see how it ends up.
I want to know what Addicks59 has heard that he wants to know if anyone else has heard so that I can then tell him whether or not I have heard it and whether I have heard what he has heard or whether what I have heard is not the same as he has heard.

I agree but the point of a forum is discussion and debate.
The trouble is since brexit divided the nation every topic of debate becomes a remoaners v wreckiter shouting match and sides seem to get drawn up. We now have Anti Social Media. Shame really .
How many times have you been asked to stop the political rubbish? This has absolutely nothing to do with Brexit.

we will get a shirt sponsor
we Will get a new kit before the season starts
we Will get extra investment, if Thomas chooses that’s what he wants
We will get info as and when the club choose to release it
we will eventually stop sniping at each other when we get promoted,,, maybe?
C’mon guys this forum is so doom and gloom and full of back biting, after the last couple of years do we need to be doing this?!!
it will all pan out, let’s wait and see.
Ok rant over!!😂🤞👍
