No idea what the free transfer market is like for center mids but I think we went the right way?
Im assuming if you know you would say, but any idea who we were in for mate?
The Arter deal was first approached in early August apparently. Which goes against my thoughts that they didn't budget to replace JFC.
It's obviously not his best position to play but the choice was made to try him and then the idea was ditched after a few games. That's the managers fault not Albie's in my opinion.
The signing of Lee was needed as the position needed addressing and I'm pleased it was.

For all the talk of Adkins wanting to give youth a chance, we've ended up with a pretty full squad, with too many over 21s to register then all, and few opportunities for young players to get a game

Morgan has played, Deji has played, Harness on the bench and we have other young players on the fringes. Davison and did well in the pizza cup if not in the league cup.
We need the experienced players to guide what is still a young squad. Famewo is 22, DJ not much more, Kirk is 23 or 24. Clare and Dobson aren't ancient either.16 -
Henry Irving said:What we don't know was when Souare first came in the scene?
He may well have been seen as a serious option before the window closed so allowing us to focus on other positions.
We also don't know when Purrington will be fit.
As Gallen said, he had 150 phone conversations on deadline day so I imagine there were others players we know about, like Kerr, and others we know nothing about.
It's an ever changing set of plates that need to be spun.I wasn’t the most optimistic a couple of weeks ago but think they’ve balanced it pretty well and done a good job.3 -

Elerewe has been played but Lavelle was a must given the concern over Inniss. Claydon and Roddy have played but if we want to go up, Leko and Souare give us the extra depth required.2

Those other players you mentioned aren't our academy players

It's ok to reference Vennings, Dempsey and Ghandour but are they good enough and/or ready? Admittedly if you take the comment literally I agree the stance has changed slightly but over the longer term I think Adkins and Sandgaard will look to the academy, but it has to be when the players are capable of stepping up, not to fill the squad because we're scrimping on the budget.3 -

So that’s one free agent. That may be the last of our business until January but let’s assume we’re after another based on Cawley’s tweet…
It has to be a striker or a keeper doesn’t it? I’m focusing in on the former, given what Adkins said about the emergency loan system for goalkeepers.
Realistic options…
Connor Wickham (?)
Kazaiah Sterling
Nicky Ajose
Jerome Sinclair
Kieran Agard
Calvin Andrew
David Nugent
Steve Davies
Ishmael Miller
Simon Cox
Anthony Stokes
Yaya Sanogo
Oumar Niasse

Wickham and Biamou are probably about the only two from that list I'd consider. Would possibly have considered Agard had we not signed Leko but his career does seem to be on the decline.0 -

And I'm intrigued what happens when JFC is fit. If we include him from January, then someone will have to come out.1 -

And I'm intrigued what happens when JFC is fit. If we include him from January, then someone will have to come out.
I still think we'll be ok though. If you presume JFC and Dempsey miss out, we have:
MacGillivray/Harness - emergency loan if needed
Matthews/Gunter/Purrington/Souare
Inniss/Famewo/Lavelle/Pearce
Dobson/Watson/Arter/Clare/Morgan/Gilbey/Lee
Kirk/DJ/CBT/Leko
Stockley/Washington/Davison/Schwartz
We have reached the limit and with JFC hopefully returning in January, as you say someone will have to drop out. You'd expect it will be like for like with a CM dropping out otherwise we're overloaded in that position. But you also have Schwartz who could go and CBT is out of contract as it stands.
I think the balance is decent, even if not perfect. Players have to prove their worth and then it will be another balancing act, albeit on a smaller scale, come January.3 -

Good blog on our window and a bit on what other clubs in the league have done. Although it’s already out of date with the signing of Souare.3
-
Four undisclosed fees puts us joint second alongside Wigan and Lincoln… looks like the bulk of everyone else’s business was done through free transfers and loans.2
-
The other possibility is that Charlton expect the PFA to win their dispute with the EFL and have the squad cap either increased or removed completely.
Bit of a gamble if so.3 -
I could see one of Dobson or Clare going on loan in January if they’re not getting game time and JFCs recovery is on track.2
-
It might be later than we (and probably NA) wanted but the squad looks a lot better at least on paper now. I think the international break came in at a good time for us. Ever the optimist and there are a shed load of matches still to be played.2

The rules do affect how you think. It amused me when people said that Morgan should be loaned out when he's the one player we don't want to loan out this season, because he counts as an under 21 AND a home produced player, thus ticking 2 EFL boxes1 -

RonnieMoore said:Scoham said:I could see one of Dobson or Clare going on loan in January if they’re not getting game time and JFCs recovery is on track.
My prediction is it’ll be those two who miss out more than Morgan - so far he’s has kept his place and improved playing in a deeper role which he’s better suited to. As already said he also counts as an u21 player, the other two don’t.
Very early though and I’m not ruling anyone out from improving and becoming a regular starter. I just think Clare and Dobson will most likely be squad players, it’s unlikely a top L1 player was hidden away as back up at Sunderland or as a right back at Oxford. Of course I’d be happy for them to prove me wrong.3 -
