So I log back on to 95 posts and I can't believe it is to actually find posts about an actual transfer.8

a Spurs player but he meant Kirk anyway.ecclesaddick said:Who is Clarke?1 -
Could be a mutual thing, we could be saying "look let's get this signed and you can go back up north for a couple of weeks".9

What a man does in his spare time is definitely and completely his own business.bobmunro said:
Not definite or ITK, but I have it on good authority that Ollie was seen in a fancy dress shop yesterday ordering a Klingon costume.Laddick01 said:If they don’t announce him with a Star Trek theme then I’ve lost faith in the comms team1 -
I'd prefer the USS Enterprise.jonseventyfive said:1 -
Be great if we're getting Kirk in today - Means he becomes eligible for Saturday if he's in the right mindset
Imagine he'll have to settle on the bench at best but its a start
Genuinely think he's joining the best club given the week he's had what with both Nigel and Tracey to support him29 -
When my Mum died I remember the last thing she said to me was to get myself out with my friends, back to work and take the kids away.BR7_addick said:
I thought this, but football is a very volatile and time sensitive business, his agent may of been saying looks let’s get something done. As tough as it sounds.RedRobin said:His Dad has just died, I’d be surprised if he has come down that quickly? It’ll be a coincidence if that isn’t his car.
She wanted me to carry on living life to the max.
Kirk was clearly close to his Dad and football was their thing together - hopefully he can still be positively influenced by that role model in his life even after he has gone.24 -

...and the fans who can be very supportive and loud in that support too.ForeverAddickted said:Be great if we're getting Kirk in today - Means he becomes eligible for Saturday if he's in the right mindset

I’ll be absolutely beaming if this comes off.2

i think its perfectly reasonable for people to be a bit underwhelmed so far given the talk at the end of season - to twist it any other way is distorting the reality - however, it is what it is and i'm not going to throw my toys out the pram if we don't sign xyz but lets not pretend that people aren't entitled to be a bit disappointed if actions don't follow the words.KBslittlesis said:
So you tell your parents, ‘why did you go & tell me there was a Father Christmas? You set me up for a lifetime of misery you lying buggers’?SID said:
But they didn’t need to make promises they couldn’t deliver. We’ve been lied to for the last decade so why make it so much harder for themselves with unrealistic targets.KBslittlesis said:This thread is indeed an insight into the modern football fan.
Instant.
Instant results, instant glory, instant satisfaction………instant.
I’m with Grapevine. Why do you bother? You all seem so miserable. You all seem so sure it’s all shit on a stick.
Maybe it’s because I’m away from it these days. But all I see is my club being slowly rebuilt after years of neglect. Rebuilt from the ground up. Not just the squad but everywhere.
Yes they made promises. What did you expect them to say ffs? You once believed in the tooth fairy & Santa Claus too right. We’re grown ups. We can tell when people are telling us what they would like to achieve but know it’s unlikely to happen. Jesus my bosses did this to me all my working life.
We are starting to have our Charlton back & that feels good.
Now can we please have some rumours 🤷♀️
If TS had said from the outset that there wasn’t much money to invest in the squad but the club has been saved I’m sure 99% of people on this forum would’ve not only accepted it but would’ve been grateful for what he’d done. I can’t help think that the negativity going around right now was self inflicted by over egging what was going to happen this season.
No of course you didn’t (at least I hope you didn’t).
I took it with the message that was intended. HOPE!
The negativity is yours. Don’t go blaming others. You have a choice.4 -
Hopefully he signs, then he goes back up with his mum and family and takes as long as he needs.21

As “soft” as this sounds, if this comes off I can’t wait to sing his name in the crowd to let him know we’re all with him! Just about to get my Mum out of hospital for end of life care at home, can definitely understand how he’s feeling right now.Agree Nigel and Tracey are great people to have around him right now, as well as Pearce!42

Absolutely agree, we are the perfect club for this scenario, he’ll get some reception.TomNight said:As “soft” as this sounds, if this comes off I can’t wait to sing his name in the crowd to let him know we’re all with him!

I think that playing and training is part of who he is, therefore it will help him carry on. The club will support him by allowing him time with his extended family when required.1

It's not Grapevine. Someone's playing Silly buggers.charente addick said:
Bit pithy for you Grapevine!Grapevine49 said:I’m sorry to interrupt these moments of innovative, compelling footballing and financial clarity but as I rarely comment on here about footballing issues anymore if you don’t mind a distraction I do have a question or two.
Do you actually enjoy football? Do you actually enjoy supporting Charlton Athletic Football Club? Why exactly do you need to do this to yourselves?
I ask because reading through most of nearly 650 pages of this thread I am tempted to suggest the need for a collective « intervention ».
I mean Transfer Rumours eh? There’s a misnomer.
You know it is like when your mate taps you up for £10 again so he can buy a round, when you know he has just blown £50 at the bookies…..again …or in the old days when mid pint he would rush over screaming for coin as the fruit machine was just about to pay out….just like last week ……and the week before orMaybe it is more like the mate who for the ninth week running has had just one or two drinks more than he could handle to take him from the level of pointless monosyllabic dialogue to becoming completely incoherent orMaybe it is more like the other mate who once chose to shack up with « his » third girlfriend in six months who appeared to be just as tarty as the last two. Why do people keep shopping for life partners in the same places with the expectation « this one » will be different?
Anyway sorry to interrupt just thought I’d ask because I grew up loving the game of football, enjoying the physical activity, the fresh air, the developing of skills, the social interaction, the common interest across society, interacting with mates and family enjoying and/or commiserating the shared experience.
It was great. It was fun. There was good heathy competition. It was good family time, There were moments of success and celebration but with the reality try as you might you (and they) could not get it right every time.
Anyway as I say I just thought I would ask because I was beginning to wonder whether Football Clubs and Football Club message boards should carry government health warnings.
Carry on….just 20 sleeps to go.
He's over on the Ipswich forums now!0
