Predictably the Nixon story is already out of date
Charlton in right back talks
By Alan Nixon
Charlton are close to snapping up right back Fankaty Dabo ahead of League One rivals.
Dabo is free after leaving Coventry and the Addicks are nearly there with a contract offer to him
If it is Dabo that failed his medical, may it be that he has accepted a reduced contract or changed terms?
I suppose it comes down to the reason that the medical is failed and if it's a problem that could flair up regularly or something that can be sorted out quickly. We'll never know the actual reason but if Charlton say no the player can go to another club and they may say yes.
Happened with John Hartson, failed his medical at Rangers, passed it at ***tic

More relevantly Hartson also failed a medical with us.

Then passed it with Coventry after failing one at Spurs.
Any rumours about that Blackburn left back we were supposedly after in January? We're really short of options at LB/LWB yet seem to only be linked with RBs.
Not sure we’ll hear too much by way of transfer news until Holden and players return from training camp. Then I’d expect a flurry of signings before we wait for the inevitable last minute deadline day stuff.

He said yesterday there are a couple that are a phone call away from being done, but it might be that we have to wait longer. Nothing to suggest them being away will be an issue, I think that was even one of the questions.

Can’t see it makes any difference if they are away. Holden can always talk by phone or Zoom if need be and Storrie, Gallen etc will still be here to sort out the finer details. If a player signs he can either jet out depending when he signs or someone at Sparrows can put him through the paces for a few days.

That's not what Holden said.. Last season in Spain couple joined while the squad was away one being McGrandles who did not join up with the team until they returned..
Deals will happen, Storrie and Gallen will deal with them back at base

Purrington joined us when we were in Spain for example

Oh I agree that a telephone call can be made from anywhere. I just think it’s pragmatic that new faces are either at the training camp or we wait until Sparrows Lane. Maybe a new face today or tomorrow might be available to fly out but also maybe not. If it was just a phone call that was needed why not make that call yesterday and get the newbie in Malaga ?

It sounded like we’re waiting for a call from the player/agent to say they’ve accepted the offer.
Transfer window so far. 6/10. Would have been 4/10 had May not signed.
Just hope that by the time the players are back from Spain the takeover is done & dusted so a load more players can be signed.
Definitely need another striker, a midfield enforcer/playmaker and a winger that can replace JRS (not his goals as I doubt any winger we sign will get into double figures).

Probably 3 or 4 permanents & 5 loanees.
I also think we need some proper attacking wingbacks, to make 3 at the back work.
What !!!!!!!! A left wing back is essential isn’t it ?
Guessing he means central defenders?
Let’s hope so eh. Was only this week we were looking to sign a right wing back. Not looking at doing the same in an even more lacking position of LWB seems crazy.
I seriously hope we're not planning on playing our wingers at wingback this season
We have a squad full of wingers, who all suit 433 - CBT, DJ, Kirk, Campbell. It does concern me if we end up having to squeeze them into a 352 or we end up with "dead wood" that we can't move on.

I think at least 2 of them will have departed by September
No more CBs to come in, but still actively looking for FBs (both sides). Probably at least one Sessegnon type who can play either side in a pinch (personal speculation not a rumour.)
So Hector Jones Ness Thomas and Mitchell (perhaps Elerewe) are what we are going with? We cannot be playing three at the back with only 3 experienced centre backs on the books surely? 2 x CBs in a back four, can buy what is being reported but if 3 x CBs doesn’t make sense to me…

So you'd presume its 2+2 = 4
We should expect a few loanees to come in as well.
Overall the business we've done has been good and we still have a month before the season kicks off.

Someone asked the question and he responded three mins ago.
