I have just realised there are only 6 days to go until we all have to take our hats off to Golfie and say he was right for months ! Come on Thomas make it so it doesnt happen !!!
You can doff your hat to me as well, I said the day Leaburn signed a pro contract our search for a striker was over. Thomas aint gonna part with any cash for the likes of a Stockton
You may be right, but at the back of my mind I suspect Thomas is expecting big bids to come in for Miles, which he’d probably accept. Leaving us with two strikers, one of whom is (and often is) injured, the other of whom has a suspect back.
It’d make sense to invest a bit, surely, in which case he might end up with a second saleable asset.
Leaburn is going nowhere this season. No matter what, he is expected to be a big star of the future in afew seasons for Charlton or a top club.
I sincerely hope you’re right. 👍
That’s what I was told from above. Sandgaard knows what Leaburn could be worth if he keeps improving. Of course IF and WHEN Sandgaard has had enough of Charlton he will sell what players he can just as Roland has done.Sorry to say that but as we all should know without The Valley and Sparrows Lane in same hands as club we are well and truly up the creek
Can’t believe anybody seriously thought Naby was ever an option.
Same people who think we could sign Taylor or Grabban on loan.
No they’re not. I thought we might of had a sniff round Sarr seen as we’re desperately short of a LCB. But was aware we had absolutely no chance of Taylor or Grabban.
Unless I'm much mistaken, this thread should become obsolete in less than a week, finally put out of its misery. It's been running for longer than I've been a member, which has seemed like an eternity, not just for me but for all reading the endless reams of shite (not a poster reference btw) and I include my own contributions in that, with so very little to show for it.
Aren't you just a veteran poster using a new name, then? I just assumed you were....
Remember Naby originally signed for a massive fee and was seen as a flop during our relegation season. The cult status only began after he returned from a loan spell in France when expectations were low.
At his best he was probably even PL standard. The problem was at his worst he struggled in L1. The feedback from Huddersfield fans confirmed this continued.
Personally I wanted a different left sided defender. The only name which has come up on here was Aaron Pierre. Any other options?
Absolute mustard. Was he perfect? No. Was and is he a Championship level Center Back? Yup.
He's actually something of a Rosetta stone for me on how to view peoples' football opinions. If you simply think he's "shit," and can't see any quality in him, I'm not interested in your football opinion.
Also, the subject of one of my favorite exchanges on here. I was once told Harry Lennon was better than Naby Sarr despite Lennon having made some bad mistakes defensively. They are currently three divisions apart.
He had quite a good touch and some skill which would be okay if he did the things expected of a man his size but he made errors when under pressure and didn’t use his size to dominate his opponents and wasn’t very good in the air
Poor decision imo. Sunderland riding the wave up and Stoke have been languishing since being relegated from the Prem and I think there is a bit more of an expectation there than Sunderland, given what Sunderland have been through in the last few years. Can see him really falling flat on his face there

I object to your use of the word veteran in the strongest possible terms. 'Long since previously lapsed' is more accurate and I'll admit to inspector Clueso. You wouldn't happen to know my old password by any chance. I don't 😎

Would Charlton have offered him that?
Sarr and O'Connell as our center backs, we'd have Luis Enrique and Pep Guardiola coming to our matches to take notes.

So no more incomings or is that opinion that has been repeated so often its now treated as fact?
LOL.
