We are now officially fucked. . . 95% done direct from the man who does the transfers. . . Still doesn’t happen . . . Fear the mood turns now so early in the season if we don’t win on Saturday.
In fairness, it probably was, or they thought it was. There are always so many moving parts in this with deals at the end of the window and you’ve got to remember, someone like Martin Sandgaard just don’t have much experience with all this (I mean that as a fact not a dig).
Why do you need experience when the buisness of football is easy?

Josh Parker is finally going to get his first goal for Charlton.
DJ loan to Mansfield cancelled because we couldn't push through Bonne.
I never understood why he was going in the first place. Played well in the games he's featured in and if/when there's an injury to Kirk/JRS/CBT he will get a chance in the league

I'd probably take a punt on Winnall until January but not sure he's all that.

Interesting to see that Mckirdy & Stockton both didn’t get moves.
Bit of a crap end to a decent window at the start. Have to hope that Chucks gets fit and can stay fit although this record is not good, but there is no doubt about his ability at this level. On the CB front, I think it’s nuts we haven’t signed one (more so then a striker) I don’t rate Lavelle particularly.. if O’Donnell gets injured we are in big trouble.. again.
Season is far from over, however I do think we have fallen behind big time from our main rivals in this league. I feel like we are onto something with Garner and I hope we don’t waste it.
If this is going to be the norm from now on (cost cutting, free transfers etc) I struggle to see how TS takes us forward.
Still looking forward to Saturday and think 3 points will turn the mood right around.. although I think it might be a big ask.
Think McKirdy can move to Scotland still as window closes at midnight I thought.

because we needed to pay for Bonne's wages and needed at least 2 to leave. What Stevenage are covering for Gilbey wasn't sufficient. Look at Cawley's statements about Mac, JFC and DJ, we've been trying to drum up interest in them.

Star Trek: Generations the hell out of our front line.
I know why it happens (because one player in is linked to another going out etc etc) but it never ceases to amaze me that clubs leave things to the very last minute. Whether Bonne was the right signing or not is irrelevant but, when one like this falls through at the last minute, it leaves us with nowhere to go bar an untried PL/Championship loan or a free that is a free for a reason.
The statement issued by the Club is one that was that was first used by Meire and subsequently by Southall. We've heard it all before.
But the Bonne transfer only came about because of last Saturday. TS saw from his own eyes that Stockley isnt the answer up front so decided thus week to (lamely) look for an alternative. But he left it too late. Far too late. Y the time the club got around to signing a striker there was no one left available on loan (as he wasnt going to pay a fee).
Really thinking about not going anymore. Son might be working at the club on matchdays so wont have him for company and also getting disillusioned with the whole bloody thing.
Fck sake i have a meeting at 1000am (your 11am) i have been watching and waiting all morning and now any announcement (if at all) will be whilst i am in a budget meeting.
Well, some fantastic news. We’ve got enough wriggle room in the budget to keep ordering hobnobs AND custard creams for the team.

Same. He could be very useful in games against tiring opposition and he's played well with a good attitude this season, despite the rumours around him.

Going to be Sanogo, Clarke or Parker then, only ones who tick the ex player box.
Being 7 hours in front, (but decades behind) here's in Perth, every 6 months, I wake up after the window has just shut on deadline day, and there's always around 100 plus pages to scroll through on the thread. Yet before I even started this morning, and seeing half that, i knew we'd done feck all business.
Considering the lack of strengthening of our forwards, which was always a big possibility, why didn't we at least hold onto Davidson as cover for stockley? He worked well enough for Ben last season, bar the missed pen, playing in the style we're playing now, and he would of been cheap as chips to keep. In fact I'd be bold enough to say he'd of gotten more goals than stockley this season, as he'd be in a 2nd season of Ben's coaching, and more finely tuned to it.
And where's this left footed central defender we all know we needed??? No mention of that at all.
Thomas has pissed on his own cornflakes this morning. Silly man.
Like a few others I thought a CB was the higher priority. sorry to say, Inness looks a customer for the treatment table. What a waste of an evening, hitting refresh button.
Looks like TS has run out of money, not surprised considering the Zynex share price.
Things ain’t getting any better if we’re going to break even in two year’s, of course that’s not a realistic option.
Oh well, we will see a few more of our crop of talented youngsters. I’m off to bed.

Should think this thread and Twitter are tame compared to what some of the QPR ones are saying about him!

Time to scroll through the list of names out of contract.
Can see us looking at players like Niasse, Winnall, McNulty, and Thiam.
Hardly inspiring.
Can you not see that it's Been Garner that will feel let down. I have seen it all before that's why I didn't join the likes feast for Covered end lad.
A good window for Cafc in recent years is when we don't sell our better players.
Hopefully we haven't?

(Not a serious suggestion, just in case).
