Don’t know but that looks like Macauley Bonne in the background… arghhhhh! 👀 😆
Wasnt Roger Johnson allowed to train with us, even after we released him a few years ago - Something to do with clubs still having some sort of duty of care to ex-players no longer under contract?

Get paid until the end of the month, might as well put the cones out.

That looks like hector. Proper beard. Could see him training with us to either keep fit or maybe join. Holden doesn’t like dick heads so I’d bet against Bonne
Have to say I’m very surprised at the lack of signings at this point, doesn’t bode well.
You must be in the minority, how can you be surprised when we have an owner who wants to spend as little as possible and a possible takeover being looked at by the EFL
I am under no illusion we will have a squad capable of finishing higher than mid table come the start of the season

They are wearing the staff kit though so won’t be a player

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.
....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.
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).
It’s possible the sale has been agreed, and it’s just a question of who pays the fee. If the takeover isn’t completed in time it’ll be Sandgaard.
I could be wrong.
By the time the takeover doesn't go ahead it might be too late & May might have gone elsewhere. Sandgaard will then be left looking like a chump, scrabbling around for another Josh Parker & our season in tatters before it begins.
WE NEED A PROVEN STRIKER.
Doesnt matter who the owner is, we can't get by with Leaburn, Chuks & Kanu.
Someone has to pay.
But Thomas also runs the risk of the takeover not happening and having a massively insufficient squad and being involved in a relegation scrap from day one that will make it almost impossible for him to sell it for anything like what he wants.
I suspect we will sign players, including for small(ish) fees before the take over happens. Worse case scenario Thomas can flog Miles on the last day to pay for it.
That's my whole point. We need players (at least one proven striker & a winger to replace JRS) whoever is in charge. If Sandgaard thinks "oh well, not my problem now" then he's got another think coming if the takeover collapses or the EFL block it. The takeover might go through but not for a few months - does Sandgaard expect to start the season with waifs & strays.
madness
Your whole point seems to be winding people up about the disaster that is in your mind. Rinse and repeat. What a load of bollocks. You think you are the only one that knows what's needed? I suppose we could all do what you do and bore the crap out of each other with the repetition. Imagine how many more pages of dross we'd have.
Martin Sandgaard has had no input for at least a couple of weeks so i have been told.
Yes I believe this to be true! But only the last 10 days or so. He was big issue in players not coming in earlier, Holden is now getting the players he wants.
Heard we will have another through the door this week.
On May - he is a different type of forward to what Holden wants, he like the traditional number 9 that is big and strong that can play off the shoulder.
May is very much a forward that likes to drop deep and collect the ball. He would also be expensive asset for someone that won’t be a first choice pick. If he was on a free might be a different story.
I stand by what I said the other day, the longer the Alfie May saga continues the more chance he’s signing for us. He will be hot property he would have signed for someone else by now if there was no discussion already had with us. Just pure speculation no ITK.

I don’t think the disaster is in his mind. He’s said the same the last three seasons and look how they have turned out. And you do realise you have just added to the dross. Don’t like his comments? Don’t read them then.

Takeover makes no diff if May was signing it will happen with or without a takeover ..
Then why hasn’t he signed ?
How do we know we want him ? the source that said he was having a medical said it never happened and that we cooled our interest .. perhaps trying to get Cheltenham to lower their overall package ?
Well for one, you posted on here saying we'd agreed a fee!

There will be tear drops if Alfie May doesn't sign for Charlton.
What does Alfie's dad think ?
