Josh Parker started the 2019 playoff final remember. Sam Cosgrove would be fine in the right team - if he occupies defenders so other players can thrive, that is one way to be more effective. It's a team sport
Very wise words Paddy. And Parker played an integral part in the playoff victory, winning the free kick that led to the winner. I have the match on my hard drive, and watch the second half from time to time. Parker got more and more involved as the half progressed, and sprayed some decent long passes around. His attempted flick didn’t come off, but if it had he’d be a Charlton mini legend!
Holden has mentioned in his press conference that he's got a good relationship with Brentford and Thomas Frank. Wonder if there could be any potential loans from them?
Thought DJ played quite well and tried hard in the U21 game v. Wigan. Clearly with scouts in mind.
I want to be clear; I'm not advocating for DJ to be given yet another chance... but... I thought he looked alright when he came on on Saturday when he played more centrally. It was when he got into the channel and delivered a couple of non-entity crosses that he looked his usually poor self. Plan A would be to sell him, but if no one else wants him we'd be silly not to continue to at least try and find a role in which he can contribute, otherwise it's just a total waste of wages. Perhaps he can be of some use to us in a squad role in a modified central midfield role. He might be a more natural swap for Camara (bit quicker, some ball carrying ability, maybe the odd goal in him) than someone like Taylor.
Is it Cosgrove... is it JCH... it's... noone. That's right folks, another episode of Reams Says coming to nothing, thanks for playing and see you next time!
all seems very quiet on the RB who played for the u21s against Wigan
any update anyone?
There no rush to sign him he can sign outside the window .. expect he will join sooner rather then later perhaps they want to see another under 23 game
In your pursuit of wumming and/or rose tinted goggles, you would suffer any old s***. Your posts are a nonsense.
That Leaburn post, to a cynical weary fan, might look like the softening up for no striker signings next week news. Or it’s just a random positive social media post about one individual player returning to training. You decide.
Is that 2 weeks in a row Reams has said we will sign a striker before the end of the week? He also said we’d signed Nombe. Maybe next week he will get it right. Broken clock comes to mind…
returning to full training but he's missed all pre season so I don't expect to see him involved for another three/four weeks.
He will have been doing a lot of fitness work the last couple of weeks that he’s been training away from the group. I’d expect to see him on the bench in the papa johns game next midweek if he doesn’t make the Fleetwood game. Just hope we sign a striker so we don’t have to rush him back too soon

Or helps to say we’re not desperate when trying to agree a deal for a new striker ?
Wonder if Miles being 2-3 weeks off will adjust any potential targets? Will we try and " get by" with Chem Campbell playing central for a bit and add a PL kid instead of Cosgrove?

Yeah. I was trying to make the Josh Parker comparison but couldn't remember his name!

Maybe, though that would suggest any deal isn’t close enough to be completed today.
I could be wrong of course... Sorry, I am usually wrong, but I predict we are heading towards a standard transfer window slamming shut for Charlton.
The Leaburn news is the key I feel.
Couple of "Who da fuck?" Prem loans at last knockings is the best I think we can hope for, with the kick in the bollox being our dead weight will remain OUR dead weight!
I get no joy from Charlton anymore, desensitised, battered and bruised as I am.
If I were running a football club you'd have to pay me to take Kirk or DJ off your hands and I can't see why anyone else would think differently
But that's exactly what Curbs said the other week. We need to pay someone to take them! In the form of a wage subsidy, so probably only going to go on loan, whereby the loaning club pay a part of their salary and has a get out clause to get rid if needed.

My prediction on that one is, they're saving it for deadline day to soften the blow.
The cynic in me says they've announced Leaburn is close back to the team to also soften the blow.
In regards to Reams gents it's been said a thousand times, why do we keep bickering about him? He's put a rumour up, if it's wrong it's wrong. Doesn't change anything for anyone. It's a never ending sniping battle and it's unnecessary
Miles is still growing into his body and seems prone to picking up the odd niggly injury as a result. I don't necessarily think this is the case, but if the club have looked at him being nearly fit again and decided that means we no longer need a striker, then that would be mad. We need to be able to rest and rotate Miles, quite aside from the fact his record suggests we can't yet rely on him being fit every week.
Do we want a dickhead who scores 20 plus goals a season though - and is proven at this level? It would be peak Charlton to pass up signing a player with his goal scoring record because something.
Those who follow rugby union will see a parallel here...a few years back England under previous regimes refused to pick Dylan Hartley at hooker. After all he had a poor disciplinary record at club level and consequently some of the suits at the RFU didn't quite like the cut of his gib. A change of coach to Eddie Jones who had no problems with Dylan Hartley and England started winning matches again.
