  • One minute we're signing Defoe because we're worried about relegation next we're helping a team below us by offering a loan. 
  • Crewe might as well have him back on loan, they know how to use him and he knows the place.
    Would that benefit us long term? It would free up a squad space shorter term allowing us to sign a player that fits our system but we will be getting the same Charlie Kirk back in the summer. He needs to go away and learn some new skills 
    I think it would yeah, I get your point on shape and system etc.  I just think the lad needs his mojo back and start a fresh next season, we need to remember his start to life at charlton was massively hindered by personal issues.

    Crewe play a different shape to when he was there last season and have been using wing-backs. They have made contact with us regarding a loan but it does seem a bit bizarre given I'm not sure how he'd fit into their side at the minute.
    Perhaps they're using wingbacks as they currently don't have any wingers though? 
  • I'd rather get rid of Kik in a straight swap for a striker.

    Agree that he needs football. If multiple clubs show interest then I would try and end him to a club that can fit him into our system of play. If low interest, bye Kirk, see you July.

    Charlton Athletic are prepared to listen to loan offers for Charlie Kirk.

    The 24-year-old winger was signed in the summer from Crewe after the Addicks triggered a £500,000 release clause in his contract.

    Id be disappointed if its more than a loan - Cant write him off that quickly
     Agreed. I would try and send him to league 2 to a team that plays 3-5-2 with him playing in the Lee role
    Why a League Two team?
    Because it's an unfamiliar role to him and taking a step back (lower league) will help him familiarise himself in the role with a bit less pressure on him.

    what if we send him to Fleetwood and he keeps them up at our expense 
    There is more chance of me becoming the next PM, than Charlton getting relegated

    I will be astonished if Defoe comes back here in any capacity , I think if anyone is going to sign him in league one it will be Sunderland, who he has stronger ties / links with, it’s just not going to happen, stand down troops!
  • Forgot to add, he got so much verbals from the Charlton crowd down the years, why on earth would he want to come back?

    What on earth do we want a 39YO striker who once screwed us.

    A Totally pointless, short term, panic signing. 

    I don’t know what this club and fanbase obsession is with ex players?

    We need to move on, break the cycle and sign fresh, hungry, young players. 
    He was 16 years old? Harsh to still judge him on that.
    This. His family and West Ham screwed us, I doubt Jermain Defoe had any real say in the move.
  • I think any short term signing in this window could be the difference between us finishing 18th or 12th…..
  • Is this signing happening then or what?

    Next 48 hours is going to crucial. 
  • I am really starting to think that this is it for our club at least for the next 10 or so years.  There isn't really any indication that anyone that can afford the expenditure for a serious push and who understands football is interested.
    Things can change quickly. Who knows, we could be pushing for a National League South and FA Trophy double in 5 years time.

    The next 271 hours are crucial..@4pm today!!.. B)
  • Could we not get Juan Mata on loan from Man Utd.  He's a good player that rarely plays.

    This.  And this is why whoever we sign will give me minimal excitement.

    Then I see things like Sunderland and Wigan selling out away allocations in record times recently and slip into even further league one depression.  What a shower of shite this season is.

  • One we were linked with a couple of years ago:

    Hearts manager Robbie Neilson has confirmed Armand Gnanduillet is in talks with another club.

    Reports had claimed Le Mans were in pole position to sign the 29-year-old former Blackpool striker.

    The Frenchman has been at Tynecastle for a year, but most of his appearances have come off the bench and he has only scored once this season.

    Neilson said: "Armand is speaking to another club. He has been given permission to speak to them. He is trying to get something sorted.

    "If he gets something sorted, he goes with our best wishes. If he doesn't, then he will come back in with us."

    Don’t you trust Thomas and his astute financial wizardry…i.e spending £300k for somebody that left for free 6 months earlier.

    unless TS gets some investment, because he’s rich, but not rich enough, we can’t compete with the likes of Wigan, Sunderland, Ipswich

    Exactly this.
    Although I just get loled when I question our saviour

    The idea is to spend smart on younger talent and sell for profit thus filling the coffers. I believe TS even said he is open to investment but wants to lay his own foundations on how he wants the club ran.

    Chucks going and coming back is an easy 300k for B'ham but Chucks decided he wanted out. We were going to spend on a player either way, just happened to be someone who left us earlier on. 
    Agree with this post but will add there were people who didn't want Chuck's to leave and thought we should have pushed the boat out to make him stay (which could have been costly if competing with championship wages), now I suspect it is those same people who on his return are complaining it cost £300k to do so. 
  • It doesn't bother me that we don't have the richest owners, the important thing is that they care about the club and communicate with the fans. Promotion requires a mixture of good investment and luck. There is a correlation between outlay and success, but that isn't always the outcome. This league is littered with small clubs who achieve promotion, and Massive clubs who don't (for a long time). I think we have man in charge that will look after Charlton, success is a bonus.


    Maybe, but "well looked after" isn't going to shift any season tickets in the summer
