Here's the issue with this transfer strategy trying to pick up bargains late in the window......now we are scrambling in the bargain basement
It’s not a strategy though, is it? It’s where you inevitably end up if you aren’t splashing cash, but you won’t convince me it’s a plan. Something went badly awry in this window, wherever we end up tonight.
Would you have thoughts as to why? I think we did it well in parts spending money on Stockley and Kirk, which infers to me that bits of it have been okay, but like yo say, we are now in reactive mode
Surely Bowyer would pick up the phone and let Gallen and Jackson know he’s available if we wanted to bring him in. I find hard to believe that they wouldn’t have spoke before now during this window. Would like Leko back that’s for sure.
I don't know if he would now. Just my opinion, but I think he wouldn't really care that much
That's appreciation for ya, after we gave him our top scorer Chuks"The Beast" Aneke..
This was never the plan was it. Scrambling around during the last five hours of the window trying to get things done. No idea what’s gone wrong and who is to blame but this summers transfer dealings have certainly not gone to plan.

Much rather get Aneke back. Now that they've signed Deeney Aneke must be down the pecking order.

Agreed - and it’s ok for us all to admit that. I don’t know why we have to pretend otherwise. Something has definitely gone awry - it is what it is, but we don’t have to pretend it has been the anything other than not ideal.

TS did literally say expect a few of the deals to happen very late in the window, to be fair.
That was a few weeks ago
I’m assuming or at least hoping that he meant that a couple of cherry on the cake signings would happen on the last day. Not the very basics of a balanced squad. Still five hours to pull it out of the hat but we should be done and dusted for this window days ago.

It’s not only down to us, it’s also about when clubs are ready to let players go.

St Johnstone skipper Jason Kerr is set to complete a £600,000 move to Wigan.
The 24-year-old started the day heading to London to sign for Charlton, but their League One rivals came in with a last-gasp rival bid to snap him up.
Kerr, who captained Saints to a League Cup and Scottish Cup double last season, is in the final year of his deal at McDiarmid Park.
And with that in mind, Saints chairman Steve Brown has decided to cash in and take the money on offer.
Kerr came through the Saints youth setup, having signed for the Perth club as a 16-year-old, and will go down in history as one of their greatest skippers following last season’s heroics.
Wigan have been beset by off-field problems in recent seasons but have found stability under new owner Talal Mubarak Al-Hammad so are now one of the most ambitious clubs in League One.

It wouldn't be popular.
Just need a keeper, left back, centre back, striker or two, winger or two and maybe another midfielder and we should be good to go.
You maybe disappointed!
Steve Brown letting us down, kick him out from Charlton TV!
Jeez.
