I think I read their fans saying their owner had a temporary embargo on taking money out of his home country (Thailand maybe?), but that has now been lifted so they are rich again. May be wrong.The Prince-e-Paul said:
The signing on fee is not the whole equation. Wednesday have had a transfer embargo but had signed 12 non-fee players on top money and have more to come according to reports. As a club that appeared to be pot-less only a few months ago, it begs the question, where is the money coming from. Surely they must be risking administration if they don't go up.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
Stockley, Clare, DJ, Kirk and Schwartz must be close to 1.5m in transfer fees in 2021. I bet there's not many league one clubs who have spent more in that time.Todds_right_hook said:
I dont understand this. We have paid fees for 2 players. We were set to sign the player from wigan but he failed a medical, he would not have come cheap in terms of wages and a signing on fee. Famewo might only be a loan but most premier league teams charge loan fee’s? We’ve already agreed a fee to make the deal permanent.Southbank said:
What we need and what Tommy is prepared to pay for now seem to be widely apart. Adkins gone by Xmas?SELR_addicks said:Think window is going very similar to the January window.
The fans can clearly see where we need players in, the management and recruitment team are the only ones that don't.
Everyone knew we needed a CB in that window, just like everyone knows we need a LB, AM, ST and 3 others in this one.

Yeah I saw this from one of the Wednesday fans that posts on here that Chansiri couldn't get the money out of Thailand and it wasn't that he didn't have the money0 -
Exactly. He's got a far worse squad than he finished with last season. Not a single option on the bench to change the game, and arguably a worse starting midfield to begin with. I feel he is too stubborn to his tactics baring in mind the players we have at our disposal, but it's far too early to right him off. The issue is not Adkins.Scoham said:

Interested to know why that’s worth a LOL, perhaps we should spend the remaining budget on replacing Adkins instead of making any further signings?Scoham said:

The knee jerk reaction to a loss is hilarious. We lost a game, only the second league game Adkins has lost in his 12 in charge and suddenly he’s not a good enough manager? Get a grip people.
Spoiler alert, we will lose more games this season. We will also win a fair amount of them.49 -
50% win rate over the 10 games last season. We have started against sheff wed and Oxford! We have the same points as ipswich who have played moreCombe and burton. But yet Adkins is now getting written off?? That comment is as ridiculous as calling out Tommy for not spending enough cash.wmcf123 said:

Seven touches for a man marked Jaiyesimi, twelve for Clare. In 96 minutes. Not good.Gotta work in training on escaping your marker, for sure. But can’t understand how a midfielder like Clare could have so few touches. Shows our midfielders aren’t playing as a unit perhaps. Where are our triangles, where are the give and goes, the one-twos? Oxford’s midfield showed how it’s done.People are saying drop Morgan for Gilbey, but I think it’s worth trying Morgan and Gilbey together, with Clare on the bench.Problem is, in our three matches so far most of our players individually look slightly worse than their opposite numbers.Perhaps three or four loans/signings will freshen things up. We saw what happened when Gallagher and Cullen came to the party.10

At the moment it is not enough by a long way.2 -
Completely agree @Covered_End_Lad, we are yet to properly click as a side and Oxford were a tough, organized opponent with a good manager. They outplayed us and that's going to happen, especially at this point in the season. Far too early to be making the rash judgements some are on here.10

I do love football fans. Do you seriously think that Gallen, Sandgaard and Adkins are looking at a bench of untested teenagers and thinking 'yep that's perfect' and it's only the genius Charlton Life fans who have spotted that that might not be enough? There's obviously something going on with the window this season, I imagine it's partially to do with Covid prices and partially to do with Sandgaard being surprised at how much we're losing but if you think that the fans are the only ones that have noticed that going into a season with one injured left back isn't ideal then maybe calm down a bit.

Not surprised with SC’s or DJ’s number of touches. Famewo, Innis and Dobson played the ball to one another countless times and on most occasions then lumped it up to Stockley as they came under increased pressure due to Oxford’s press. I thought that would be sorted out second half but not a great deal changed unfortunately0

This has been a problem for two seasons. Why is that teams press us and force us to go long, but we can't press teams in the same way? They just pass it around us like we're not even there.Pavoren007 said:Not surprised with SC’s or DJ’s number of touches.

At the moment it is not enough by a long way.
Spending someone elses money is easy, are you my Mrs??? Although I agree that the squad needs additional investment, we do not know what he has spent on legacy issues created by crazy people from Belgium and northern wannabe gangsters.
Should the budget now have been adjusted downwards due to Tommy spending money clearing up previous owners mess, it would be nice if that is communicated to us and the 5 year plan also adjusted.
The above is pure speculation without any evidence but its my view that sorting out mess has reduced our budget. An example, what happened to the £12k a month apartment? We (tommy) is either still paying the bill or paid a hefty figure to terminate the contract. That £12k a month could be spent on wages on a back up left back0 -

I think Adkins said a long while back that he likes a squad of 18 first team players and the rest supplemented with players from the youth team.1

What we need to do is get a midfielder further forward closer to Stockley or another striker to play off him.2 -

Remind me who a lot of people on here think will run away with the league?

It’s asking a lot for someone like Clayden whose played fewer than 5 professional matches to be our main attacking option from the bench. Not fair on to him to that much pressure so early on his career.J BLOCK said:Was there yesterday.

So we all agree we need a decent attacking left back / LWB
The top assister in the position in L2 last season was Exeter's 20 year old left back Jack Sparkes. He's pretty strong, quite tricky and has a lovely left foot. Decent crossing ability - a smattering of goals in there too. Young. He fits the bill....only problem is he was stretchered off yesterday with a suspected broken collar bone and I have no idea how quickly they heal!
Looks like a decent fit for us though as, until yesterday, he hadn't missed much action and gets a good number of crosses in.
Go get him MR Gallen9 -
