Terrell Thomas wanted by MK Dons and Burton according to FLW.
That would be a sensible move for both us and him, as he's well down the pecking order for us now. I imagine we're not paying him that much either, whereas Lavelle was more of a "big' signing, so he won't be dropping salary.
The emergence of Ness has made carrying the additional centre back less of a necessity, especially if Holden is planning to stick to a back four.
Of the bunch, outside of EOC, I think TT is the one I’d want to keep the most based purely on ability but his contract situation probably makes him the most expendable.
That plus the fact that I think we’re carrying three squad-player-at-best calibre centre backs that aren’t good enough and he happens to be one.
I'm not unhappy Purrington isn't still with us. He offered little going forward (except when he decided to literally play striker) and defensively I felt he stood off his man a bit too much. He, Washington and Gilbey also gave me a certain self-pitying vibe which I can't quite fully explain. He'd have been preferable to Clayden, Clare or Chin in the position, for sure, but then we should never have had to play any of those at left-back
I started the year thinking that we had turned a corner & that I could trust what people (aka Andy Scott) said.
I'm afraid to say that another transfer window is passing us by and that everyone in charge at CAFC lies with gay abandon. To this end Andy Scott is no different to Gallen/Sandgaard or Southall.

What happens here? Can we cancel the loan? Pointless him being with us if true.
Wow !
When JFC did his ACL (for the 2nd time) we renewed his contract for A WHOLE YEAR and he was out for 9 months of that.
Double standards methinks.
(This is to all those who disagreed with me when I said we shouldn't have renewed it)
Yes.....JFC was our player whereas Kane isn't blah blah blah.
Same difference in my book. Got injured on our watch.
JFC was injured doing his job, playing for CAFC. By any common standards of decency he had to be offered a new contract , if only for a year to recover. I bet it was a basic salary, just so he keep going financially . If you want to treat people by throwing injured players on the scrapheap it would be going back to Victorian times of wicked mill/mine owners, women dying of fossi jaw making matches and sending children up chimneys. Also hat makers going mad from mercury poisoning.
This is not directed at anyone just stating that CAFC needed to take care of employees
T minus 12 days until people are saying they are satisfied with only 2 signings because we weren't going to get promoted anyway after demanding 5+ before the window started.

Can people stop pissing their pants because the window is STILL FUCKING OPEN!!!
Some individuals need to grow the hell up
Fed up with the whinging ever since the window opened
You're right, although we should have signed a left-back. We've needed one since the last window closed, that's pretty unforgivable although we don't know the situation with Edun. We've signed a striker and lost two players that weren't needed, we do need to calm down a little.

Not to mention the whole situation is out of our control

And yet T minus 0 seconds before you're on here whining about something that hasn't even happened yet. Have a day off.

Purrington was league 2 at best!
Bit harsh. Scored in the League 1 playoff final...
Knew somebody would say that. He had some v good players around him

Equaliser in the playoff final. Legendary status! I suspect we’d have a few more points on the board if he’d been available this season. But yes, it’d be good to have better for sure.

We've been here a thousand times though. Club making noises of movement in the market and fail to deliver time and time again. This isn't a one off. We are heading into Jan 20th with an injured LB and Bonne until the end of the season, it's not good enough.

However it really doesnt matter what happens come 1st February.
We could sign Gvardiol at Left-Back, and there are no guarantees that he'll succeed here - Why?
Because last summer we signed: Lavelle | Leko | Arter all on the August Deadline Day, the mood over the entire window went from this typical misery to people saying our business that summer was 7/10 or 8/10 in terms of deals.
It really wasn't though was it... All three pretty much flopped

Surely the fact they flopped is justification for getting your business done earlier?

It’s not like football fans to make snap judgements and decisions based purely on emotional feelings though.

Of course its best to get business done as early as possible
My point is, we can do business early or late, and there are no guarantees that the signings will end up working out - So come the 1st Feb, we can make a truly decent signing that we're all happy with, but unless someone has a time machine, the fact they'll be become successful is unknown.
Ronnie Schwartz vs Jayden Stockley as a perfect example in January 2021 for example
One was signed right at the start of the window, the other was signed with about ten days left of it - I know I'm cherry picking examples by going back to 2021 for that, but given both signed in the same window as Strikers I thought it was a good one that stood out.
have to admit I'm not really that bothered about this transfer window. Relegation very unlikely as is promotion. Just want to hang on to Leaburn, Ness, Fraser & Dobbo and if we can bring in a couple like Todd (point to prove, out of contract in the summer, take a good look at them now) then great. The summer will be a big rebuilding exercise.
Of greater importance now is who will be owning us and what their ambition is.

Of course, I’m not sure that’s totally relevant to the point people are making though. We needed a left back as soon as the window opened, regardless of how they turned out. It’s only a left back though, some of the whining is definitely well over the top. It’s not cost us either.

Well yes and we were after a left back right from the start. Edun was close enough to get a Cawley article but then had an injury scare. The club can't really be blamed there.

He's Charlton fit, which, based on our current ease of injury list isn't quite the same as match fit...
