This season will be different. Because....it just will be.MickeyBennett said:
Obviously we will sign players. I think the concern is that they will be dogshit and/or injury prone dossers signed in the last 2 weeks of the window.Scoham said:

The club can confirm however, they are in discussions with former Pineapple studios TV personality Louie Spence to accompany Thomas down the Oak as a dance act after home games next season.BR7_addick said:Meltdowns incoming:
Louie is excited about the possibility of bringing his energetic twists and twizzles to ‘Addicks to Victory’ as punters chew the fat over a 1-1 draw with Burton at home in early February6 -
Lot's of concern about Tucker and MK..this is Nixon saying this don't forget...are we now believing everything he says..WIOTMKDOS...

We’re not short of right sided centre backs so not too fussed about Tucker.
Think our priorities lie elsewhere.2 -
cafcsinger said:Not convinced Barry is good enough for us anyway
Good enough to be one of the very few English lads(can't think of any ?) to Join the Barcelona Youth academy and then Premier side Villa but not good enough for Charlton when we are desperate for a striker/ winger/ forward to probably play in a 3 as two wingers and a number 9 just won't work or didn't at the beginning of last season.5 -
'We’ve seen some of the bigger clubs, talking loans, specifically contacting us now, because of the hiring of Ben Garner, so it has had a positive impact on that front too'I wonder if we would be having that if Jacko was still the manager. Can't have been anyone too happy observing the Castillo and John situations, and even the many Matts Smith over previous seasons.4

Best players in the world when they’re linked to us.
They’re rubbish and we didn’t want them anyway when the rumour is rubbished.

Historically we are bigger than Brentford, Bournemouth, Rotherham etc but who would you rather play for, the bigger team or the better teamVfrf said:
Firmly still on my chair, and yes clearly they are a better football side than us currently but they are a smaller club - it shouldn't be a given that we can't tempt players with a club and fanbase of our size. Dons have zero atmosphere but there's no guarantee they'll replicate their form once Twine and Parrott leave. They've been successful because they're not afraid to spend and ultimately money talks, to me they're clearly offering more than us.mendonca said:Don't fall of your chair with this dose of reality, but MK Dons are actually better than us.0 - Sponsored links:

Tucker is exactly the type of player we need
In League one a right footed centre half can play left side
He's comfortable on the ball
And cheap with a good upside if he progresses
If we lose him to MK Dons, be concerned for our season's prospects10 -
Except we are and why do we keep going on about right sided centre backs regardless? You can have two right footers at centre back as most clubs in the world have proven..Bournesnr said:We’re not short of right sided centre backs so not too fussed about Tucker.
Think our priorities lie elsewhere.Deji isn’t ready, Innis isn’t reliable, Lavelle is coming back from an injury and wasn’t exactly showing too much quality regardless.Tucker is a fantastic signing at this level with real sell on potential, potential to play at a higher level than this, over one hundred games in this league, great injury record.I am sorry but if we are genuinely interested and lose out to MK Dons then that is piss poor.3 -
One player wont make or break the season. If we dont get Tucker then we best make sure the 2nd option is still decent with good potential.supaclive said:Tucker is exactly the type of player we need

We wont get ALL out first targets and that is a fact. The worry will be when it looks like we are hitting our 4th and 5th targets.1 -

You say that but one player can actually be the difference between autos and play offs, play offs and mid table and mid table to relegation.king addick said:

Why? Tucker is a sought-after player and MK Dons are miles ahead of us. Finished 1 point off the autos and 9 clear of 7th. They had a great season under a very good manager. The fact is if you're competing with other teams for players sometimes you will get them and sometimes you'll lose out. In this case MK Dons are a more attractive prospect at the moment and have got a lot of money coming when Twine inevitably leaves so can likely offer him more. If anything, us identifying the right kind of player is a good sign; the time to be concerned is if we miss out on 5 consecutive CBs because we're just not offering enough, or if we'd offered Jason Pearce a new 3 year deal instead of identifying ball-playing centre halves. Last season we bought the wrong players for the manager we had and then brought in another manager who didn't use what we had in a way that suited them. Targeting players in line with the manager's way of playing is a positive thingsupaclive said:Tucker is exactly the type of player we need

He's right footed and we need a leftie, so it's not that logical. Perhaps that's why Cawley is reporting that we've never really pursued him.Braziliance said:

We are working on a deal for Louis Reed from Swindon. I don't know a huge amount about him but seems to be highly rated.

Yeah I would like to sign Tucker but it wont happen based on the fact that we're Charlton and there MK Dons. Charlton are very much in the re-build phase with foundations etc being laid whilst MK dons have a formula that suits them and as it stands, look much more attractive for a possible promotion etc.Braziliance said:

I do need to point out that you are "throwing your toys out the pram" at something Nixon has said. Nixon!There’s a lad here down the road from us, from what our owner is telling us, would be in our price range, he would immediately be our best defender. It ain’t rocket science you go and sign him unless it’s not feasible.Couldn’t care less where MK Dons finished, that was last season where they had Scott Twine, it’s a new season for them like us, albeit they have a few more things in place. We are bigger than them and have an owner telling us we have a top budget. If we are genuinely interested in him and lose out to them, it’s shocking. Even more worrying if he’s not on our radar
I am saying if he goes to MK Dons, it’s Cawleys tweet that had concerned me, not his2 -

Tucker would have been a great signing.
The only reason we're losing out (if we were in for him) is our poor performance last season. MK Dons to a person on the outside look a far better bet for future prospects.

You may not get it, but it seems that more than a few managers want their CBs to play on their proper sides.Braziliance said:

You seem to be ignoring the fact that Cawley has said we weren't ever really pursuing this bloke, but you're going nuts over the idea that we've lost out on him to MK. Is this just about having a pop at TS?

Who was the lad from Leeds (Irish I think) that was a real coupe if we got him and doomed if we didnt? We signed Cullen instead and I have never of him again.Scoham said:

We as fans often wonder why a team in the Championship etc. would be interested in a player whose team finished so poorly the table like what we did last season - Or like the good example you gave further up, why would teams be interested in Tucker when he was part of a relegation defence last year.SELR_addicks said:

Scouts and Managers will only care about the individual they're after, and what their strengths / weaknesses are.
So wouldnt be surprised for that reason if Dobson had admirers further up the League Table, and beyond League One.0
