We desperately need an attacking left back to provide width down the left hand side, if we are going to play Washington as a left sided attacker, as he's not a winger. His natural game is cut inside onto his right foot, and needs an overlapping full back to create some space for him
Agree about the attacking full backs. I despair when I hear Washington described as a left winger ! Taylor and Grant were striker/wingers because they were happy going wide but Washington needs to get into the box as much as possible as we are short of fire power.
Ronnie Schwartz remains the Elephant in the room and it needs a resolution.
We won 8 games out of 23 at home and if we don't have a player closer to Stockley to fed off him we will again win more away than at home.
433 or 4231 at home rarely works for Cafc at the valley in recent years. If we have a couple of midfielders who can both score a Dozen or more goals then great. We don't at the moment.
As there are no rumours I thought I would go off piste.
Rumour elsewhere that Gallen has been in Crewe today.
Does he usually have to travel the country to negotiate transfers?
Possibly personally scouting out an option that's been recommended to him? Running the rule over a player before we pill the trigger.
I would hope and assume we've decided on our targets long before now. Friendlies aren't the games to be deciding on whether you want to sign a player or not.
Dog shit of a player. It's great news he wont be returning.
Classless remark. One of the 500 odd young players attached to Chelsea who needed the step up to Men's football. A modern wing back from the academies who are iffy defensively. Will be interesting to see if he improves his play in the Championship at Coventry.
Jay Dasilva was 19 when he had his season at Cafc from the Chelsea pied Piper production line, and he appeared to be more advanced in development than Ruud van Maatsen.

Yes, believe he travels around quite a lot. Not everything can be done through the phone, sometimes meeting somewhere gets things done easier and quicker.
We all thought that we would see new signings either with the kit launch or the training day! Neither happened which has really put expectations into check.
You really expected that ? I think any success we have this coming season will depend on the quality of loans we get in.

Next he'll be saying the next two weeks are crucial!
Wonder where he said that because posters on here at the Q&A today didn’t report him as saying that.
When the players were training Scott Minto asked him something about more players before the end of the window and he said yes they were working on it. Not worth commenting on on here as it is kind of obvious. I didn't hear 'imminent' but there is only a month or so to the end of the window so any signing is kinda imminent.
Right .... Curbs has been seen with Nige today. Words have been said. Experiences exchanged; understanding nods. Next week is the big one.
It won't be a marque signing but a solid reliable one without injury problems. Likely a Northerner who can play on shite pitches (further North than the Watford Gap)
You lot need to grow up, sniping at fellow lifers. If you don't like what they say ignore them. This thread is getting like the Charlton fans Facebook page.
I couldn't agree more. I see the same 15-20 posters dominating every thread, fishing for likes (no pun intended), and some of them belittling other posters.
Its no wonder so few of the other 1,000's of members post here these days.
Its come to the point were I basically skim read as there are so many people posting in true keyboard warrior fashion.
Most of you are grown men, take a look at yourselves and ask if you would tolerate your kids bullying like this on FB and other social media sites.

He is just proper Charlton now.

CAFC fans are the funny but troublesome ADHD nephew of the football world that keeps ending up in trouble.
This... can you ask please. One of the few on here who actually has an inside track and isn't talking horseshit
Bloody superstitions. Any ladders tomorrow I'm walking under them.
