Surely we can wait for another 60 mins or so before calling this window either way and / or suggesting the need for a meltdown
Yeah, because after 3 months of the window being open signing someone with 60 mins to go is seen as a positive & part of a plan.
All clubs are doing it… it’s how it goes. It’s not ‘typical Charlton’ - it’s transfer deadline day. Like other clubs we’ve done most of our business already.
I don't think you've been paying attention. We've not "done most of our business already". We are still 5 or 6 players short of what is needed & dome players we've brought in (Clare & Dodson) are average League 1 players. And we've still not replaced last seasons top goal scorer.
But apart from that everything's peachy.
5 or 6, give over
He’s not wrong. Have you seen our squad? So short in most departments.
Goalkeeper | Left-Back | Striker are the only departments at the moment we're short in...
Centre-Back as well, but at least we've got the rumour that Lavelle is coming
We're short on wingers too
Blackett and Clayden should be alright, Washington can play there

We aint even taken our full quota of loans have we?
Two slots left
Got to assume we will take 2 loaness then unless Adkins has told those above that he's happy to bleed in our youngsters. I won't argue if that's the plan.
At this time of the night I cant see Lavelle and two loans coming in.
Its a frustrating / bitter sweet scenario if we dont fill our quota as towards the end of the season there were a lot of complaints about people getting fed up of us signing five loans each summer as we need to build our own squad
So its good we've reduced our quota at the present.
But we still need a Left-Back
We definitely should not feel obliged to use 5 loans just because we can have up to 5 loans in a matchday squad.
However, we are going to end up obliged to use 5 loans because we don't have a sufficient number of senior players under permanent contract.
Pretty much. If we don't take 5 loans then we are putting a lot of trust in our youngsters in this league.
Elerewe is the only youth player close to the level needed for the first team squad just now.
We have a few good youth players. Would fans be happy us playing them in a tough L1? Adkins might be thinking its the way forward.
Clayden might get 10 minutes now and again. Who else do you think could help us win games this season? Nobody I have seen yet for sure.

Ipswich have signed half the bloody planet and are doing naff. I would be content with just a LB. I certainly dont wish TS any bad blood for this window. Think he exaggerates but has certainly invested. Just not to the level of a Saudi prince.

5 or 6, give over
What he means is "5 or 6" that are acceptable to him. Truth is we could sign 5 or 6 people in the next 10 minutes and it still wouldn't be good enough. It never is. Just ignore him.
Why ignore someone cos you don’t agree with what they say? Many won’t agree with people saying for months that Tommy will have a promotion squad by 11pm when that truly isn’t gonna be the case. I would rather a realist in life than someone who buries their head in the sand and settles for second best.

5 or 6? Maybe you’ve got so deep into saying it’s been a shit window that you can’t back down now that it’s turned out quite well

Yep 5 or 6.
Reserve keeper, left back, striker, right sided centre back (assuming we cross that off when Lavelle comes), and more midfielders as Clare and Dobson aren’t the standard needed to launch a promotion bid.
What about Arter, Gilbey and Lee? Dobson and Clare haven't been particularly impressive but it's been a few games, give them a chance. Goalkeeper situation has been explained, we can cope without it.

We needed 5/6 a few weeks ago. Since then we've signed Kirk, Blackett-Taylor, Lee, Arter and Lavelle. Plus one other?
