They've been a Third Division club all that time.
Isn't what has happened with them, what we want for Charlton? New owners who add funds and actually try and get us out of this god awful division? Surely that's what we are wanting. Ipswich are much closer to achieving this than us. No sane Charlton fan can want what we have now? We all know that it will take lots of money to turn this club around and get us into the Championship?
I can't believe people moan or say look at Ipswich, they're in league 1 just like us. They're trying to get out of Division 1 and it will take LOTS of money to take on Plymouth, Derby, Sheff Wed, Ipswich et al - that's just reality....0 -

Stockley apparently is a loan, which begs the question… why are we not just bloody selling him? I can’t imagine he would be hard to get a fee for1

As Golfie said, we need to bring players in before we let Stockley go. Some people seem to look at our best eleven and forget about the squad.9

No name, just a forward player (could be a winger or a striker).
Then it went deftly quiet but the person is adamant it happened.1 - Sponsored links:

Said we will be doing early business.
No-one will leave until we have added to the squad
Those that do leave will be fringe players only.
There are funds to spend.
1: There's four league matches in January, I would say if we don't have anyone in by the second match then it is not 'early'.
2: JFC has left, we have added no one.
3: No matter what people think if his ability, or if he should have played more, he was a fringe player.
4: Remains to be seen. But I think if funds were available we would have been able to bring someone in early, instead of waiting for prices to reduce.
Kirk, DJ and Stockley out? All 3 on decent salaries and decent transfer fees. They'll be replaced with loans or free signings. Again I say,,,, I wouldn't be against Bonne or Wickham but Wickham on paper is not any better/safer bet than Aneke - the last half a season has been an anomaly and Bonne's goalscoring record is worse than Stockley's.
We are simply polishing turds and it'll mean we won't go down, but let's all be honest, we'll be way, way, way short of being able to put together a side for a promotion push next season. Which is what a club with the history, size and ambitions of Charlton should be doing, at the very least.....
Next season is 100% dependent on who owns us bu then, isn't it?0 -

Does that mean both Stockley and DJ are going to Gillingham on their best behaviour 😀
Or should it read:
Stockley and DJ could be going to Gillingham and Mansfield respectively 👍3 -

So, you want us to take this squad, spend no money and get promoted in the next 2 years?

Jayden Stockley told me he was settled at Charlton and where he lives in Godstone, Surrey, in the Summer But unfortunately his Cafc form has gone to pot since 4-3-3 came about under Adkins and Garner. His form under JJ in a 2 up front was decent League 1, hence his 20 goals in all competition plus he missed games through that back injury last season.
Shows how his stock has fallen if it's Gillingham 24th in League 2 and not Sheffield Wednesday and Portsmouth who both showed interest 18 months ago to buy him.
Wednesday eventually went for Michael Smith who has improved with age even though I saw his potential when watching Charlton U21 on several occasions including his 5 goals in the Kent cup final.
From where Jayden lives just 5 minutes from M25 Junction 6, Gillingham would be doable without moving and getting a caravan on the isle of Sheppey !
Would the new American owner make Stockley a marquee signing and play him in a two up front and pay him a similar wage to his Charlton deal ?
He has lost his way at Cafc and it would be best for both club and player. A gentle giant off the pitch and couldn't be more different from his on pitch demeanor.20 -
Gills hoping to snap up Stockley to compete with their tea lady for top scorer.0

We’d free up about 5/6k a week in wages if Stockley goes2

Another day gone.0

So it looks more and more likely that all they are looking for is out of contract players who are or the hill , crocked or bot and have be sitting on their backside for 6 months or more.
The usual Charlton strengthening of the squad.
As you may gather I do not believe in the rumors of money for transfers or for that matter in take overs either.2 - Sponsored links:

I do remember a time, quite a few years ago admittedly, that most people wanted the club to not be run by rich owners, but to be run in a sustainable way. I've noticed that trend change over the years as we've dropped further down the leagues.
Now everyone wants someone to come in and spend a considerable amount of money on a frankly terrible investment opportunity, but not have any active involvement in the club.
You have to wonder what the motivation for that would be, given it's unlikely there's a billionaire charlton fan willing to step up?2 -

“Primarily the idea is that we want to bring players in. That is going to be the biggest concern and the biggest workload that we’re going to do is bring players in.
“Once we’ve done that and we’ve brought in the right players we can assess the squad properly. See which players aren’t going to contribute as much as they want to or we want them to.
And if there are players that are wanted by other clubs and we can move them out in a good deal for the football club and we can use those funds to strengthen again then we will do that."
December 22nd.

Letting Stockley move on before replacing him would be a very different scenario to that of Forster-Caskey. That would be the first red flag IMO.
As mentioned many times, JFC plays in an area of the pitch where we have more than half a dozen other players in the squad capable. His presence, or lack of, will not materially affect our squad depth.
By contrast, Jayden’s omission would absolutely have a detrimental affect on squad depth. His production is definitely not good enough and if a suitable replacement is brought in first, I’m absolutely in favour of moving on.
Having no replacement in and leaving this club with Leaburn, a crocked Aneke and Kanu as our forward line options as a result would be squad suicide.
But it’s not happened yet so I’m not going to beat the club over the head until it gets announced.13 -
While I can see the Gillingham/Stockers deal happening, can't see anything happening until towards the end of the window, when we will have got some decent cover in already, no one would be daft enough...would they..to deal before that. 🤷♂️🤞0
-
Wouldn't surprise me if Bonne had already signed and the club were planning to announce it as close to the Man Utd game as possible in order to distract from any fan dissatisfaction.1
-
Apparently towards the end of the window, the chains loosen up and it's easier to get bargains and negotiate better deals.3

Would be madness to let Stockley leave before anyone comes in. We are already a striker light and trying to sign 2 half decent ones in January will be nigh on impossible.
