I haven’t read through these recent posts or any other threads so sorry if this is old info.
Heard from someone inside the club that a potential signing is at the training ground today and if it comes off I think most would be very happy.
Could be a good sign for the future ownership, certainly would make me feel more positive.
I’m not gonna say who I’ve been told it is as wouldn’t want to jinx it. Serendipity if we annoiced him on the morning of the 29th.
It’s a player from team that finished beneath us that many have mentioned would be a fantastic signing, I’d be shocked if we were the only one in for him.
May be useful, maybe not.
The player I was referring to above, from what I've heard, hasn't been back to the training ground since visiting at least twice back when I posted this.
Does that mean you can give the name now ?
I could be wrong but think he has basically in the post without out
right saying it

Yes he says Serendipity. Can only mean we're signing John Cusack

Damnit... I thought I had more time to get this one in!!
I think its become clear that until the takeover has been completed all we will be signing are frees & loans. Now, some frees are ok, even decent (Taylor) - but many will be mulling over various offers & an uncertain ownership may put a few off.
We wont be paying a fee for anyone until the new owners come in, and then I reckon it will only be a few hundred thousand here or there. In the meantime, anyone that will command a fee will mean we have to shift someone out first like we did with Woolacott (so maybe Kirk, DJ or Lavelle) and even then the money we bring in might only be enough as a sweetener/larger agent fee, rather than a fee to a selling club.
Therefore, seeing as the takeover will take another month or so I dont see us signing many players and like our recent transfer windows it will be a mad rush in late July / early August to find a few players that will give us even a full squad.

Some people will probably claim your being negative and a downer, but tbh I think you're spot on.

So do I, so he should certainly keep posting it on a regular basis in case anyone misses it. 😉
Reckon he was on our radar, and as ever Gallen and Co have a list they work through, of semi realistic targets that they contact. No doubt if Isted said no too, the next name on the list was a low prem/high championship loanee, and another couple of free agent keepers
Hopefully any deal to sign Alfie May is just parked until the new owners take charge, I know there can be an obsession in modern football with signings needing to be about a future resale fee but I believe we have lacked a experience & character the last couple of seasons so would be delighted if he joined us.
Out of JoJo , the guy Vigeroux from O's who we were linked with and this fella, I reckon he is by far the best option but I do still AMB could be as good if not better still
Orient bloke on his way to Burnley
No he isn't, they're about to sign someone from Belgium. Vigeroux will end up in the Champ
Nice knowing you all. Ronnie has made me look like a fool, I can’t show my face round here again
I understand we are in limbo and the new owner hasn't got the keys yet as checks are being done to make sure the house isn't made of straw and are the buyer's legit (😂) BUT even if it's a free signing who decides what the salary is to be?
Sandgaard, with Peter Storie the go between and conduit between Charlie and the secret Seven ?
Not technically a summer transfer rumour but would affect things. Apparently, Steve Gallen has had an interview for a position at QPR. From what the person told me, it was for the DoF role replacing Les Ferdinand.

Thought i said that on the previous page
I think it's different this time. If the takeover happens, we actually have signings teed up. I hope...

....hope you are right but if you were May, would you be willing to sit 'parked' pending the resolution of an open-ended takeover? I wouldn't.

wouldn't bother me at all, the last couple of years recruitment has been really ropey and always goes back to the same players eg Leko, Bonne etc. Add to that a respected poster on here mentioned Ellis Sims to him and he didn't know who he was. And then Dougie Freeman had to ask him to come and watch Rak Saki who he wanted us to take on loan. Not sure recruitment is his forte.

Yes I would if….
- I was still getting paid by Cheltenham - could train with Cheltenham all summer - could go somewhere else on deadline day if I had to - Charlton were close to my family - Charlton were the best club ‘interested’ (with regards to potential salary / success).

There must be a cut off date, it may show how keen he is to play for us... no pun intended
Vigouroux to Burnley confirmed as people were posting last week.
Very similar to Ben Hamer to Leicester. You go from playing every week to being a bench warmer and helping Kasper Schmeichel in Ben's case. Plus at least a 100% pay rise back in day.
Vigouroux can be the bench warmer for Burnley, work with the 1st team keeper Muric and play some league cup games. Plus at least 400% pay rise in the money rich Premier league of 2023.

when did Pope go back to Burnley?
🤦♂️What a Freudian slip to concede a goal.
Of course it was Arijanet Muric who was number 1 and had a spell at Man City as a reserve himself.

If he has set his sights on playing for us and no serious sized competion like for example Derby have made an offer then I can believe a player would wait, the takeover is meant to be completed by worst case scenario a week or two before the season starts.
It is not like he is out of contract so risking going unpaid.

looking forward to Graham Shinnie joining on deadline day

This is a dark fairy tale and it's Grimm Bro's.
