  • I saw two magpies this morning whilst driving the car. Means only one thing, big day today ( not ITK)
    I've gota  bird feeder right outside my office window and there have been 3 magpies visiting it every day for about 2 months so i wouldn't get too excited

    I wonder if we can have an entire day tomorrow with zero bickering on this thread. If we do I'll donate £25 to the upbeats. If we fail, anyone who bickers must do the same :lol:

    (I may as well just pay the £25 now as I'll probably be bickering)
    Bollocks to that!

    Oh sorry, you said tmw!

    I forfeit £25 to upbeats...

    Great idea mate.

    ......... Guess people will end up waiting til after that game to buy or buy one in an undesireable location. One of those end blocks in the east or west - could be renamed the fairweather blocks?      
    Addick phones up the ticket office: "Hi, can I buy a season ticket in the West Stand near the halfway line, in the 'andy Fairweather-Low block?   
         
    i wonder with all these new schemes being introduced whether there isn't a n opportunity to sell a 'season ticket and spot in the memorial garden in the south east corner' package ?

    I think our loan signings will be better this season, we no longer have to beg other clubs.
    Are you not hearing anything? Or burned by last year?
    Haven't heard anything, haven't asked...
    Fair enough, cheers

    '115 new comments' he thought. 'Finally a rumour' he thought.  

    When will I learn.

    Bright side is some homemade sausage rolls have just landed on my desk.

    Landed? Dropped by magpies? It’s a sign we are getting Andy Carroll (whose nickname is sausage roll).
  • Over 100 comments read whilst in the queue for something to eat in Ikea. I got exited when I saw Andy Fairweather’s name…. And then soon realised he is just another Joe Gomes.

  • From what I hear we are still bidding on players but the other clubs want more than we're offering.

    Now you can spin that as "we're being sensible and not being held to ransom, we'll go back nearer the end of the window and get a lower price"

    Or

    "we're being unrealistic and TS is too tight/skint to spend what's needed to get promotion"

    depending on how full/empty your glass is.
    I know two league one clubs have quoted us ridiculous prices for strikers .. even after we made very good offers ( more then Stockley price ) 
    No you don’t 
    Yes I do cause I have people who live in Plymouth and it was all over there local news 

    It's 2021, it's not the days where people would only get their Charlton news once a week in the Mercury.

    If we had made substantial offers for 2 strikers it would've 100% made the good old world wide web. But currently doing a search i can see absolutely nothing except old reports of our laughable (pretend) 4m bid for Ivan Toney when Southall was here.

    Happy to be corrected if you can post links of these 2 bids and i'm wrong.
    Unfortunately, they’ll be no links as it’s just one of his daily wind-up posts.

    Oh FFS... Now you've gone and made a mess of it all! 😉

    I may or may not have put in my donation in advance 🤣

  • Our best starting eleven, including the injured Purrington, looks pretty good for Third Tier. We also have decent replacements for several positions although we don't know how long Gilby will be out for and probably have to wait until January before JFK returns. Plus, no-one knows if Schwartz will make the grade and unfortunately we suspect Innis will get injured sooner rather than later going by his track record. After what happened to us in the Championship 19/20 season I think we are all fraught that injuries will wreck our promotion challenge hence the furore on this Rumours (or lack of Rumours) thread. IMO we must sign another left back/wingback and have proper cover for Innis although I hope young Deji can get a run out in the lesser cup games. Clayden might be able to cover for DJ but for me the big query is whether Schwartz can step in for Washington or Stockley? If not we need another striker. We shouldn't rely on Davison as third choice striker.
  • Why do people get so bothered about posters like Ronnie Moore? Just ignore him if you think he’s posting nonsense. Honestly this thread has been a car crash all summer, used to be quite fun checking into the rumours thread in years gone by but its just silly squabbling with no actual rumours. 
    This. He's posting rumours on a rumours thread. And people are getting angry about it. Ffs. If his pists annoy you, ignore them. He 's done nothing to merit some of the shit slung his way.
    but they are not rumours just made up bollocks and then when he says it was in the local Plymouth rag it quite clearly wasn't so more made up bollocks. I'm all for people posting actually rumours/whispers that may have heard from somewhere or other but to come on and just make things up? 
    Also announced that Mullin and Tucker had both signed. There was someone else as well (can't remember who) but when he signed for another club he claimed he'd only posted it as a joke

    Why get so worked up about it? Just ignore it and move on, it's only an internet forum.

    Not really rumours but re-iterating what the media were saying a couple of days ago: 

    SLP - Adkins to decide on midfielder. 

    Adkins says he has yet to decide as to whether the club will take a look at trialist Madger Gomes again in their pre-season game against Fulham on Saturday, during a recent interview with the South London Press.

    The 24-year-old midfield player is currently a free agent after leaving Doncaster Rovers this summer and has featured in each of the club’s last two friendly games.

    However Adkins was coy when asked if the Spaniard will feature for his side at Craven Cottage this weekend, as he stated the following:

    We’ll talk about it. He’s (Gomes) done well again. It’s not easy when you come in on a trial basis.

    “He’s fitted in really well but he’s shown again today that he does have quality.”


    Herald Scotland - Ipswich nab Addicks target

    Charlton were dealt a blow yesterday after Ipswich Town snapped up one of their apparent transfer targets by signing George Edmundson from Rangers.

    As previously reported by Herald Scotland, the centre back was said to be a target for the Addicks, Sunderland and Portsmouth before he completed his move to Portman Road yesterday.

    Adkins is now expected to switch his attentions to other targets, with the club still looking to improve various areas of the squad.

    Edmundson has signed a four year deal with the Tractor Boys.


    Hull Live - Addicks rival Hull City for Sheffield United man

    The Addicks are also said to be rivalling Hull City in the race to sign Sheffield United midfielder Regan Slater this summer, as per a recent report by Hull Live.

    Hull had originally lodged a bid for the 21-year-old, before the move was blocked by Slavisa Jokanovic following his arrival at Bramall Lane.

    Adkins is said to be keen on bringing the player to South London, however the report goes on to state that a move to Charlton may be unlikely.

    Slater was part of the Hull side which won the league last term.
