would personally take izzy brown
Are u Browne? The most injury prone of the lot. No thanks to all of those. Although a couple I’ve never heard of tbf
And to think I once thought TS might buy the Valley one day. 😆
That’s the downfall ,just who will buy The Valley from Roland. Until that mess is sorted out we will always make a loss. Sandgaard has said we are working on it .
We we still be following Charlton when he has gone , providing he leaves us a club to follow.
Relieved we haven't got Bonne. We all know he isn't up to it and saw at the QPR game that was the case. It would have been dreadful signing him on a perm as I would rather go with Leaburn. Saying that where is the CH? £0 spent in the window combined with the redundancies like Olly confirms that TS doesn't have the money to take us forward. I'm genuinely worried now that he doesn't have the funds to keep us running. I think he is well meaning and wants the best for us but promotion will be a massive task. We really have to support the team now. The time to slag off TS will be when the season ends. Doing it now will shred Ooh Ah Mortimer's 25 per cent chance of reaching the top 6.
Good start to a season totally wasted by not adding just another couple of players.
Now watch Stockley or O'Connell get injured on Saturday, leaving us short of players where it's most needed.
And yes, I will laugh when this happens because we have all seen the writing on the wall but the club have done nothing to plug the gaps. You just can't help some people & Sandgaard will see on a weekly basis his "investment" reduce in value as our quest for promotion hits the buffers once again. He ain't getting out with a profit, just like RD. So he cuts costs to the extent that you wonder if he actually has a brain, let alone a business one.
Really seriously thinking about not going much more. Total waste of money.. I have a ST for this season but it may well be my last. Not just footballing reasons but all will become clearer in time.
You'd have thought free agent CBs would be easier to find that goalscoring strikers. Failing that, I hope Jason Pearce is keeping fit...
As an aside, when he was released as a player (alongside Famewo going back), I'm sure the intention would have been the bring in TWO additional CBs, otherwise we might just have given Pearce another year as 4th choice.
What are the rules on something like Pearcey coming back as a registered player. Could he do that? I personally felt he def had another season in him.
We have 2+ players for each position except central defence, what’s the only real disappointment for me. It leaves a bitter taste not getting the additional forward in but it is what it is.
Can't help feeling a bit letdown by how the window has ended. Striker and CB have been a known priority since Garner walked in the door and they haven't been properly addressed. Yes the likes of Ness,Deji, Leaburn and Kanu could all make impacts but it just feels like we're 2-3 senior players light.
Quite how we've ended up going into deadline day with all the eggs seemingly in one basket I don't know. Free agent market doesn't look especially great beyond Matej Vydra who I'm sure could still get a Championship club.
Garner has got the foundations of a good squad there , I just hope not having those final 2-3 pieces doesn't come back to seriously bite with injuries.
Bonne may not have been the first choice of most but he is competent for this level and would have been half decent cover. We are going into the rest of 2022 very exposed to a couple of injuries IMO. If people want to put a positive shine on that, good luck to them.
I despair at some of the people/depressives on here. So we didn't get a deal for MB over the line through no fault of our own. It happens. Grow up. Notwithstanding I remain quietly confident that this will be a very good season. After all the signs have been there for weeks on the pitch, where it matters. Even the youngsters are showing that if needs be they can step up.
In a way the last day was more disappointing because up until then it really had been pretty good. We've bought in some promising players and a coach with genuine talent and vision, we've even cleared out some of the dreck of seasons past.
We were very very close to having a squad/season that just maybe might have us believing again. Everyone knew what was needed to turn the squad into genuine contenders. Instead it's now just a case of seeing just what magic Garner can do when the inevitable injuries and suspensions kick in.
We’re left in a weird situation now where Stockley really doesn’t fit the system we want to play (and it shows) but we’re also screwed if he gets injured/suspended.
I wonder if this will prompt Garner to consider changing style to one that suits the players we have rather than the current system which seems built around players we wish we had.
I'm not having the "better no one than Bonne" bollocks either
We were never gonna pay for a forward to rival Stockley (imo) we spent close to a mil last season on forwards, Stockley is el capitán and gonna start, Chuks will have to earn his wage eventually coming off the bench, would we really have paid out for a third decent pedigree forward, plus wages to sit on the bench, unlikely, with someone like Simpson fair enough as they're still young enough to not expect the world and time to develop - resale etc.
A loan like Bonne would have given us an established forward to bridge the gap between Stockley and Aneke, we all know about Anekes injury history but look at Stockley, missed a good chunk of last season through an awkward injury and he played games not fully fit - even this season we've already had to play him unfit and we're only 6 games in.
Some say the deal collapsed because QPR couldn't get a forward in, others because they tried to diddle us at the last minute. But really, we just shouldn't have let ourselves get in that position in the first place.
A very disappointing end to the transfer window. I believe Garner is a decent manager and if we gave him the extra couple of players we need to challenge for the top six ( striker and centre half ) then most of us would be happy. As things stand we are going to finish mid table in the 3rd division and another opportunity wasted. Still there's nothing we can do about it as it's not us paying the bills. I just hope that when Guitar boy decides he's had enough that there will be someone out there prepared to pick up the pieces.

I think we will come up short. That is very likely. It is typical Charlton that Garner would turn out to be good but not be fully backed. It is the story of the last decade and a bit of missed opportunities and the wankers who own us. Crooks or fools, take your pick but that is all you can F*ing choose from.
dontou believe we started our striker search yesterday morning? Do you not think we worked through a list of targets? They either moved elsewhere, cost too high, didn't want to come etc. we had a forward in the building and the parent club moved the goal post at the last minute.
with the defender, it would be interesting to see what happened there. Maybe we pulled out because the manager and coaching staff have had three months to look at ness and think he is a good back up option.
frustrating, yes. Disappointing, yes. Shambolic, definitely not

Sandgaard has said we are working on it .
cN you not read. Qpr changed the terms after Bonne passed a medical.
do you want to explain why you feel that is the owners fault?

7/10 window that could have been a 9.

Good luck Mr Garner. You're going to need it.

Ah well, proper Charlton at least.
