    Dabo on a year's deal with a club option wouldn't surprise me , also wouldn't be subject to the deadline as he's a free agent.

    The "No" is referring to new signings only being Dabo. The rest of the comment is about Dabo.

    So Dabo will come in if the deal is right, but expect other signings on top
    Ok 95% of the comment was about Dabo

    Unless we flog them cheap neither Kirk or Aneke will be going anywhere.

    Thing with Aneke is we cant buy out his contract as it is too expensive and no one will want to buy him, flog him off for a quid? Not even worth that imo.

    He'd also have to accept terms & pass his medical. Aneke is with us til his contract is up.

    You can flog them cheap all you like, but someone is going to have to suck up that salary both of them are on, and no one is willing to at the moment

    Such poor business/ vision on the clubs part, wish I could be so shit at my job and get away with it.

    Who's got away with it? Nobody involved with those deals is still at the club.

    The no was replying to the suggestion that he's only referring to Dabo, he then went on to clarify there could be a deal in place for Dabo.

    So he does expect us to make signings, only time will tell though.

    All pretty self evident I think. Just need to offload a couple first

    I think the minimum (and probably most likely) is Dabo plus a striker. No additional striker would be awful.

    Since we have, yet again, left some very important business to last minute, there's quite likely a domino effect in place that means that certain deals can or cannot happen due to the impact on parent clubs. I hope we're in for Ladapo or Nombe, but I suspect it'll be Cosgrove. Maybe we can weave some loan magic, but IIRC JR-S was done comparatively early and players of his ilk are probably at the clubs already. I don't want to pin any hopes on any last minute, young lad loans.

    Would anyone else be surprised if we make any ‘headline’ signings before the slamming shut?

    I certainly would.

    People are worrying about the lack of cafc activity but it has been a very quiet week for all clubs.

    The reality is, at this stage of the window every player’s agent will be telling the players on their books to hold off from signing any offer they receive this week until deadline day (in case a higher offer is made at the last min on 1st Sept).

    Shame it's been a month since we signed anyone.

    That sound like a very dicey game of Russian roulette...not ideal

    doubt we could even give them away at the moment - it's their wages that are the issue

    It is crazy that hundreds of thousands of pounds are managed like this BUT this is football. The reality is millions will be spent at the last min on 1st Sept (10 times what will be spent between now & deadline day).

    It‘’a not just a Charlton thing. Most clubs are in the same boat & often waiting for a chain of sales to kick in before they get their player.

    Imagine you are selling a house 😊…

    It has gone well past a joke now.  I wonder how many other clubs have not signed a player in the past four weeks.
    Something smells.

    Agree, but I was looking at it from the players perspective...🤔

    I'm surprised you can smell it all the way from Brazil 🤭.

  • Its hard as our SMT/the club will have its valuation of a player

    theres a fine line between showing ambition and getting the players you want and being mugged off by the selling club

    we obvs dont think hes worth the million plus he is going for so we move on

    if we dont go for similar quality to him though and its a cheap downgrade then questions will be asked

    When we made a supposed 500k bid it was a goer.

    Unfortunately that didn’t meet Exeter’s valuation so it didn’t progress.

    The only strange thing about it is that transfers are usually a *negotiation* while this one never really turned out that way. No improved second bid from Charlton etc.

    I have my suspicions as to why
    I mean that's a big assumption, we can only know what's been leaked. In theory I also have no problem with not going back with a bid if the valuation is unrealistic. The issue is we haven't signed a striker since
