Just watched Lee’s interview on valley pass and the bit that stuck out for me is he mentions how interest only happened in the last 24 hours and it all happened really fast just goes to show how quick we can and will act and how things may still change alot with our interest/bids for players
Keep the faith everyone still think we will get another few gooduns🤞🏻
So, not something we've been working 24 hours a day on for weeks.
As a pp said - probably went in for him after getting the knock back on Dempsey and/or Lowery. Not that i'm complaining as I've been saying for weeks & weeks that we need another striker. Would prefer a small pacey one but that can be a young Premiership loan now as Lee has experience in this League.
Or in that 24 hour period Lee became available and he was preferred to Dempsey and Lowery!

I wouldn't discount them yet, especially Lowery.
Is Lowery even a similar player to Lee?
Id see him more alongside Dobson, dictating the game

I would see it as Dobson/Watson, Lowrey/Morgan, Gilbey/Lee and Clare is the extra and could cover almost all them. Depends on how long JFC is away but it really wouldn't be surprised if Morgan went out on loan in the second half of the season.
I think that Lee also can be the second striker so I don't think we will see another one unless Ronnie moves on, or is just excluded from the squad.
Oh and JFC could be a medium term solution as an attacking left back, was brilliant there against Fulham......

and Dempsey if he were to sign, or would you see him as the alternative to Lowery?

I can't see we would get both not unless they try and move on Clare or Dobson straight away, which would be bizarre.
Thanks AFKA - if I’d turned my phone on earlier I could have pipped VFR by about 30 minutes - absolutely devastated I’d had that long lunch in the sun in the best place in the world but I’m getting over it 🍺☀️👍

Makes sense imo. We do have a back up already if we were unfortunate enough to lose Mack to injury and we can always bring in an emergency loan if needed. Why take up a squad place with someone unlikely to play ?
That seems sensible honestly, in terms of all the issues that need solving a GK likely to spend a season on the bench is a long way down the list - especially with the emergency loan rules.

And you can sign free agents after the window slams shut. It really isn't a priority at all.

Sounds more like a comment to the effect that we are not over a barrel in needing to sign someone; maybe directed to a senior player without a club who wants more money than we want to pay?

Maybe but it seems a bit of a stretch that you'd conduct that in the press. If it was/is a hint to another club then I could see it but seems a lot of effort to play mind games with one out of contract player in one of the few positions we don't desperately need cover

Unless he goes elsewhere before the window closes then Alex Palmer @ West Brom will surely be one of the ideal choices to go for on emergency loan - Did well with Lincoln last season.

Squad place isnt an issue, this is definitely a financial decision but at least does make sense.

Or Darren Randolph, who's down the West Ham pecking order and has lost his Ireland place. Unlike certain other former Charlton keepers, he's not the sort happy to pick up a wage as a non playing 3rd keeper

Given the way things have gone so far, more likely that we do not have the money available to pay a back up goalie. A new low I think.

Or we're not willing to waste money that can be better used elsewhere?

Doubt we'll get the crowds we need. I heard a rumour we're moving to Catford.
Should never have turned professional and should have stayed at Pound Park

I wonder if there are any potential signings down at the training ground this morning?
as the last two signings were spotted in and around the ground or training with us
Stadium tour had to avoid a new signing taking photos, yet Elliot Lee was at the training ground for his photo shoot?
What would you like me to sing?
