Slams shut Couldn’t get it over the line We were very close One or two He felt it wasn’t right for him Loan window opens soon We wish him all the best Exciting young players pushing to be involved Happy with the squad overall
"We accepted the offer as the fee met our value of the player, and the deal was right for the health of the club moving forward."
My only concern with the forward is that other clubs at this level are also interested and we are reliant on shifting a player or two to make it happen.
Thank you for sharing info.. Heard they are going to press forward even if they can't shift, worst case would be release a player tomorrow.

Tbh if we are actually going to spend money on a striker / forward that played in L1 last season then of all the names mentioned I think I'd take Udoh.

I think he’d be the best but got injured on Saturday and I’ve seen one rumour it was his ACL. So we will probably sign him!

That's a statement - if we released a player and had to pay out their contract, would that not affect our salary/budget issue? Or does that include wages ONLY?

It depends on the player, on how much they are going to be paid off I believe. But I don't think we are anywhere near the FFP.. More the fact TS has set a budget and wants to stick to it...

Only way that could work is if the player accepted far less than the rest of their contract otherwise may as well keep them if we're paying them in full and I don't see how a compromise agreement wouldn't contribute towards any fair play caps.

So we're playing with the terminology of the budget that our own owner set us then instead haha

You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done

If we pay JFC off tomorrow it will be the most Charlton thing ever. Probably buy him back in January...
Although it probably is the best solution for all concerned at this stage.
It will also be interesting if any younger players go out on EFL loans this week, or whether we will just use the flexibility that NL loans give.
Indeed that's been an unfortunate consequence of the transfer windows, as the likes of Henry or Ness might have benefited from a L2 loan in say October when we have a fuller squad.
Mentions Gilbey, JFC and CM could all still go too.
Can see the sense in DJ out and a striker who can play wide coming in.
We already have enough players who can play wide in the squad
Kirk, JRS, CBT plus Leaburn and Payne who have played there this season already.
I agree, I want someone who’s firstly a striker rather than a winger who can play up front.
However given we want one with pace it’s likely have some ability to play wide too. It makes more sense than a pure poacher or another target man.
Another interesting thing about Sam Smith is he’s left footed. He could give both Stockley and JRS competition. Our left winger in Kirk or CBT is then more of a creator, with the main goal threats coming from the striker and right winger.
This.
We have enough wingers/wide forwards - we need an out & out striker. Someone (like TS stated) who can run in behind defences & not struggle to get into the box 5 seconds after releasing the ball (Stockley)

How could you even think to question him!? He's seldom wrong!
Comments
Stockley out for £600k, Stockton in for £200k?
Welcome back Lyle Taylor!
He meant last season...
Welcome back Joe Dodoo!
If it is him, we would have had a good window.

Smith is a striker/right winger on other sites. He started on the right on Saturday.
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'

Would love to be wrong (particularly for an exciting player), but I sincerely doubt it.
