Shouldn't we be happy that they're only (apparently) going for signings of players who would improve us? Whatever your feelings on Bonne? All our other signings seem like they're of that constructive quality (once McGrandles and Egbo get up to speed).
Would you rather we'd signed anyone - literally anyone - just so we could say we made a deadline day signing?
In a few weeks, none of you will remember this, Aneke will be fit, and NURSE! NURSE!
Well that didn’t go to plan. Just passed on what I was told from a usually impeccable source, not convinced even the recruitment team have much of a clue.
Can you tell us who the players were at this point?
Defender was a loan from champ side, wasn’t given name.
Forward was Scully from Lincoln.
Clear what happened with Scully then, Championship interest came in and we didnt stand a chance
Yep indeed, and shows the complexity of how the transfer market works even though those who literally have no idea like to make out how simple it is.
Either way though, that’s why you have a ‘list’ of targets and I can’t believe it was just Scully and Bonne on it.
No signing. Player passed their medical but no deal.
It doesn't actually say that It could have been many reasons
Yes it does...
We thought we were there and the player had passed his medical at our training ground on Thursday evening, but unfortunately there were complications beyond our control late in the day, which went down to the last minute, and we haven’t been able to sign the player.
The player had passed his medical !!
He did NOT fail his medical
My grasp of English is quite good
The player did NOT fail his medical ffs !!
lol!... You need to go away and calm the fuck down fella
No I just don't need calling out for the club to fail to sign anybody but move on two first team squad players and two junior players yet have a CEO / Owner telling us we were pushing for two, maybe more players.
It is what it is BUT we are going nowhere in Division 3. Stand back and actually understand that.
Charlton are a mid table, division three team.
I want better. Sorry.
We all went better you idiot - A good number of us though dont feel the need to act like spoilt children who havent got the toys they wanted come Christmas Day - We're grown adults, many of us have children ourselves, I'd be embarrassed if I started acting in a manner that I wouldnt ever expect from my four year old
If you listened carefully to Sandgaard at the very start of the window the signs were there.He mentioned things nearly always going down to deadline day.But that is bullshit.
If he had the means and will to buy a quality striker he would've done it. But he didn't.
This bullshit story he's put out tonight was written at the end of June.
Although disappointed at no signings today.I think we have had a reasonable transfer window and are in a better place than last year. Also very impressed with the academy players let’s see what happens up to January
Hmm. So for all TS waffle about our black box and the thousands of data sets within it plus Martins genius all meaning we are far more prepared for this window.. we have signed;
Wallacot, Payne and Egbo from Swindon where Garner clearly bought them over. O'Connell whom Garner would have known all about.
Rak Sakyi whom would have been recommended to Gallen by his buddy Freedman and as top scorer in PL2 any club would have known about.
Leaves Sessignon and McGrandles.
More nonsense spouted.
To go into a season with the striker and CB options we have is madness.
Another season in L1 looks the overwhelmingly likely scenario meaning a further £8M losses only reduced by selling half the decent players (Clare,Dobbo,Leaburn,Albie,Henry) at the end of the season and starting again in the free transfer market.
I'm contemplating putting the champagne on ice for when we sign a rip roaring goal scoring striker this week. Alternatively, should it be a modified chastity belt type contraption to protect me from the more likely kick in the balls?
Unfortunately, it is the more likely kick in the balls. At least I didn't fall for the bullshit this time.

Apparently we are already mid table. Thank god I won't need to watch any games, and even more beneficially read the comments of the self harming wankers that infest every sodding thread on the forum.
I don't buy that we were in for Scully at all. It's been obvious for some time we weren't paying a fee for someone. Woefully short at CB in particular and we're screwed if Stockley gets injured (debatable whether he's good enough anyway).
People can have a dig at other fans for "crying" or reacting like it's the end of the world, but if anyone thinks this squad is capable of promotion then they're off their heads.
Shame we didn't show some real intent and bring someone in to work with Stockley like May, Bonne someone who can run in behind and be a threat or at least occupy another centre half. Aneke simply is not built for football as much as I love him when he is on the pitch and charging through defenders
With Inniss, Lavelle, O'connor I think we all know we will get caught short there in a month tops if we haven't already with Inniss needing micro management and none of them fully convincing me they can pass but I am happy to be proven wrong and there aren't a glut of ball playing centre halves at this level going for shirt buttons.
Really surprised we haven't brought at least a centre forward in, it isn't fair on the young players as we will inevitably end up relying on them when the predictable 6 week injuries start in a couple of months

Aneke has already had two injuries. Innis has to be managed, how are we any better off? We’re relying solely on our children in key positions in a difficult league. The window is only acceptable because of Ben Garner. He’s now pushing a rock up a hill because our non-footballing SMT who work full time can’t identify how desperately we need reinforcements. No coincident Pompey, Ipswich, Sheffield, Derby all somehow manage to land their targets.

I guess this makes me officially an ITK now...
Just like every game he ever played.
Nope. Its a defender on loan from Bristol City.
Either way though, that’s why you have a ‘list’ of targets and I can’t believe it was just Scully and Bonne on it.
Very poor, badly lacking a goal scorer which means we aren’t getting out of this awful league anytime soon (we’ll not upwards anyway!)
Tut tut.
Not a good start for Dangermouse.

Last season's final game:
Harness
Pearce
Famewo
Inniss
Matthews
Gilbey
Dobson
Morgan
Blackett-Taylor
Washington
Stockley
Just glad I never have to watch some of those players in our shirt ever again.
At least I didn't fall for the bullshit this time.
Not yet
DJ loan to Mansfield cancelled because we couldn't push through Bonne.
