We do realise that Aneke has played a lot of his career as an attacking midfielder and not as a 9, right? It’s only really since being with us that he’s been more of a striker.
Either way, he’s a great option to have and if he could do it, I’d have him starting ahead of Stockley every week.

Yep, but he's been much more effective in a Charlton shirt as a 9 though. I also don't think he's a Garner type of player in an advanced midfield role. If he could start more, I think he'd be a very good option in a 4231 to play off the striker, although I'm not sure that striker could be Stockley and would be better to be someone getting in behind. Agree though that having him as a sub to play either role is a great option.
If Forster-Caskey leaves, will be a shame as think he’s a top player for this level. What we would need to bring in is someone who will score goals from the centre of midfield.
Davison leaves we bring in 2 strikers. Leaburn has been good but let him actually develop at a decent level without ruining him.
If it was up to me, personally think we need: Another full back Left sided centre back Centre midfielder (who scores goals) Winger (who scores goals) 2x striker
4 of those to be on loan, the others permanent with one involving a fee.
Not sure we need 4 wingers and 4 strikers to be honest. With 3 starting you’re leaving 5 out every week. I’d go with 3 strikers especially with Leaburn and Kanu coming through
Opinions mate. Just can’t help but disagree.
Aneke is unlikely to start too many games, but can also be played as a 10. Stockley is likely to be our 9 an injury to him means we are in trouble. We haven’t replaced Washington and we need another different type of striker to be available.
Out wide you have Blackett-Taylor who is our best winger but all hopes cannot be pinned onto us. DJ hopefully will have a better year but hasn’t really shown to be anything like a top 6 player, and Kirk could still leave and has yet to show really anything. An injury to any of them means we have 2 players to play 2 positions. We need another.
Definitely agree on the wingers. Like you said initially, they need to be capable of scoring goals too.
I get your point about a different type of striker. Problem is that if you're starting Stockley you've got 3 on the bench. In a 433 where does that striker fit in? We do need a very capable understudy to Stockley.
If we say Aneke is going to be a 10 or come off the bench and maybe play as a 9, I think we definitely need another 2 strikers. An injury to Stockley and we would be in huge trouble. The two strikers could be one pushing a starting spot and the other a young loanee that gives us another option to mix it up, run in behind, play a different formation if Garner decides to switch things up.
My point is Davison isn’t good enough, Leaburn isn’t ready, Aneke won’t start many games, and that leaves Stockley who I think doesn’t 100% suit the style Garner will want.
We shall see.
Aneke being used as a 10 might mean we can’t sign a goalscoring midfielder. Though at this stage I wouldn’t rule out more than just JFC and Davison moving on.
Of course we may also take a chance on some u21 loans to allow us to have a bigger squad under the cap.
Aneke being used anywhere other than a 12 is laughable
My brother is adamant he read an article which said the changes to the squad cap were scrapped at the same time the salary cap was. The only thing I could find was that it would be 22 for 2020/2021, 21 for 21/22 and then 20 for this season. Seeing as it didn't reduce to 21 for last season I think he could be right. I can't find anything confirming either way though.

It's 22. I contacted the EFL last week to ask. Straight from the horse's mouth. Posted their reply on this thread on page 269.
Bradshaw signed a new 'long term deal' at Millwall in January.
JFC had his contract renewed in May.
Against his wishes apparently.
He did not have to sign it …
I know I'm feeding the troll but he didn't have a choice. The club had an option to extend whether he liked it or not.
Let me get this right Henry , me old mate , me old mucker..
If someone else had said JFC (K) had said he had no choice but to accept would you call them a troll. My bet us you would not.
So why call me one. You can answer that here or you can tell me to my face at a Bromley Addicks meeting.
You can tell me in front of everyone why you keep on trying to slag me off but if it is someone else you wouldn't. That seems fair as you ate very vocal on here .
Think you need to take a deep breath and read it again, Henry was calling @RonnieMoore a troll not you.

He meant to post this from his @RonnieMoore account, just a case of crossed wires
Happy to call you a troll to your face but as usual you have totally misread/misunderstood/deliberately pretended to be offended because I was calling Ronnie Moore a troll, not you.
But you are a tiresome bore and a tedious troll as well and I've made the mistake of feeding you.
For that I apologise to Admin and to the rest of the forum.

You are not only feeding one, he was arguing with the other.
You have a gob on you to. All I did was tell Ronnie that JF-C he wasn't correct on that.
And I am a troll for doing that . If I was wrong I would have got stick from you and some others . Often you. Do you go to Bromley Addicks? I ask this because I would love to ask you to your face why it is you would not do this if it was someone else .
You didn't respond to Ronnie, they responded to you?

I think 1956 gets a bit of a hard time personally. I disagree with roughly 90% of what they post, but I genuinely don't think they are a troll.

They are, the best one is when they forget to change accounts and end up arguing with themselves.

You're probably right. Back in his Dad's day though you'd bash trolls with your rifle butts eat RPG shrapnel for breakfast. Unlike these modern lads.

What ever...I am still annoyed at the fact I was right and still got called out.
You were correct provided the rumours are true. I'll certainly give you that.

Over and out.
Heard from on high we’re in contact with an ex player, a striker who can score prem goals.
Yes it’s Darren Bent Bent Bent.
Oh sorry, it’s actually Simon Makeinok.
Edit. Posted without seeing Scoham's post it's much more interesting.
