Sims was given a chance to train with us to keep fit but was never one we were going to sign ..
This is the Charlton rumours thread, there is another thread for rumours of other clubs. I suggest you create a "fictitious bollocks" thread and you can post away about Moses, Mullin, Maatsen and your made up quote from TS that I can't believe no one else noticed.
He’s done with the Ms now. Moving on to the Ns waiting to hear Neymar is training with us with a view to signing 😂
Neymar was at the next table to me in the Beehive this afternoon.
Just a random thought of someone I think we should have a look at. Jordan Jones from Rangers. Surplus to requirements even last year and loaned to Sunderland for half the season. Direct quick and skillful if not a bit inconsistent but what wingers aren’t.
Hearing that Rangers want at least 500k for him but just a random thought from myself. Need to get this thread back on track somehow 😂
Ex Chelsea wonderkid who has been bumming around in the championship after being released. Was on loan at MK at the end of last season and no one noticed because it looks like he didn't actually do much there.

Linked to Sunderland and Wigan in the Scottish press . Good player and I like the thinking.

Would be interested to see if we’re still interested in Kirk from Crewe carrying on from our January interest. Agent ballsed it up supposedly so curious if it’s causing an issue again if we were after him still
Kirk & DJ on 3 year deals would be a real state of intent.
Skipped about a thousand posts so apologies if it’s emerged more clearly why. call me Wibbling Walter if you like, but absolutely astounded we’ve got this far into the summer only signing / replacing what we have.
No idea of the reasons, not moaning about it, but absolutely nothing like the summer rebuild I was expecting. We might well end up where we are wanting to be come the end of the window, but I anticipated something far more impacting by this stage.

Hush your mouth ! Don't you know that it is sacrilege to question anything to do with our transfer policy. Just because lots if other teams are signing players doesn't mean its the right thing to do. They will all go belly up due to high fees & wages and we will win the League by being the last man standing.

Yeah it's been an odd 7-10 days since Sean Clare signed. Not even a hint of a substantial rumour.
But we sit tight, I'm sure moves are being made behind the scenes. Even that one was kept quiet up until the day it happened.

How dare you have aspirations for our club to sign players & get out of this pub league 3rd division.

In all fairness, you’ve only got to look at the other teams in this league to realise that it’s not just us that are playing the long game. Sure Ipswich are splashing the cash and it’s probably a lot more exciting right now to be an Ipswich supporter atm. Football all about opinions end of the day and everyone has a right to vent about how they feel. Me personally , I think the signings we’ve made so far I am really a fan of and I feel like we’re actually asset building (Famewo loan to buy, DJ still got 3 years on his deal, Dobson 2 year deal I actually think he’ll become a big fan favourite)
End of the day we can’t control who the club decide to bring in or not bring in just have to be patient.

I agree but still optimistic it's more the market than TS and we'll eventually have a strong squad.
The graph in this blog shows there's plenty more recruitment to do across the majority of L1 clubs.

It's alright though we have a new shirt, same as the old shirt, a new sponsor, same as the old sponsor, you can have a carvery, same as the old carvery but in a bigger lounge.......
I think we all expected to be closer to a full squad by now but it's not over yet. This summer I don't even think it will be over when the window slams shut (does it still slam shut now Jim White isn't at sky?). Not only for us but for almost every team in our league.

Out of interest, how many players have left since May (released or out of contract) & how many have we signed. The last bit I'm assuming is 8 (Macgillvrary, Matthews, Pearce, Watson, JFC, Stockley, Dobson & Clare). Just can't remember the exact number that left.

Well there's a lot of us bed wetters thinking this, much more & they'll be raising the Thames Barrier.
Maybe we're at our natural level but I do wonder whether our season ticket sales seem to have ground to a halt because so many people are thinking the same.

Amos, Deji, Pratley, Shinnie, Oztumer, Maddison, Aneke all released.
Plus the 5 loans.
So 12 out
Mac, Stockley, Famewo, Dobson and Clare in.
So 5 in
If you factor Davison and JFC in, who cancel each other out we are still 7 short on last season. 3 more perms?

From my mates in Crewe, the club have no intention to sell any further players this summer.

I make it 10 and we’ve replaced half of them so far. Released/loans returned with replacement in brackets:
However given NAs preferred formation an extra winger on top of Millar’s replacement would be good to have. Clayden or possibly Ghandour may take that spot.
With JFC injured we could do with another CM, ideally a playmaker. Given how rarely Smith played they could be replaced by one player.
Maddison and Oztumer were also released but were already out on loan so don’t need replacing.
I completely agree about being so thankful to even have a club with everything we have gone through and how close we have been over the last few years, especially last year. Sandgaard really did save us from the brink.
However, we simply cannot use that reasoning every single time. We all are so thankful to be in this position right now, we all love the club beyond ways we can imagine to describe.
The fact is, we haven’t made the strides many we’re expecting, we haven’t pushed on in the way many had hoped.
It’s the open training session tomorrow, just over a week before the season starts, and we have over half of our recruitment still to do in the final month.
It’s not ideal. And yes I do believe we will get there, but people are right to feel concerned as other clubs are bringing in good players quite often now, whilst it seems very quiet on our front.
Yes, since Adkins has come in, everything is being run far more hush hush, which isn’t helping people feeling twitchy. Maybe a genuine rumour to be put out by Cawley will help people for a bit. But we know he only posts when he can.

It's happening!!!!
Out of our wage budget, heard he commands 10k
But we sit tight, I'm sure moves are being made behind the scenes. Even that one was kept quiet up until the day it happened.
