My point is why don't we wait till the end of the window or beyond to decide if this season is going to be wasted.But we’re talking about a squad that’s lost 5 in a row to teams that don’t even have a particularly big budget, if wasn’t Derby, Bolton, Barnsley or Pompey.2 -
Most likely, Adam Matthews and Ben Reeves did the same in previous seasons. The agents will also have a vested interest in the best deal they can get for their clients 😉.GetYerCoreyOut said:Why is this Dabo signing being dragged out so much, surely means he's weighing up his options?0 -
The last thing we need is more kids, pathetic transfer window once again if this happens. Despite what's been said, the proof is in the pudding and these owners have no money for Charlton.13

Looks to be one in one out to me. Egbo left and we got Campbell in. We’ll get Dabo and a striker when we can offload some.GetYerCoreyOut said:Why is this Dabo signing being dragged out so much, surely means he's weighing up his options?0 -
Played for the U21s and presumably will do so again today at Coventry if we are going to sign himBigDiddy said:

We're the Nightclub, Dabo is the lad who is hoping something better comes along before 4am.GetYerCoreyOut said:Why is this Dabo signing being dragged out so much, surely means he's weighing up his options?20 -
A RB with injury problems who hasn't had a pre season and 2 kids. My excitement knows no bounds8

Surely Southall would have cashed in...SuedeAdidas said:From BBC.Saudi side Al-Ittihad are also interested in Liverpool's England defender, Joe Gomez, but the Reds have no intention of selling the 26-year-old. (Fabrizio Romano)
This could boost the coffers couldn’t it? Assume we had a sell on ( if not already cashed in)….1 -
Everything that's happened so far, points to him being on the money, unfortunately.ValleyBen said:I hope Airman is wrong as if our remaining bit of business really is Dabo plus two more youngsters thrown in to our already too young squad then it is hard to have any optimism even if a quality manager does arrive.5 -
I would imagine his extended trial is to give him a mini preseason and see how his injury reacts.YannTheMann said:A RB with injury problems who hasn't had a pre season and 2 kids. My excitement knows no bounds2 -

Duh, it’s his consortium, they’re all his appointments and it’s him leaking the constant misinformation. Why defend him, I mean, how do you think it’s going, are you happy?killerandflash said:
Methven isn't even responsible for the football side, that's Rodwell and Scott. What school did they go to?SouthLincsAddick said:
I’d say a lot, there has been a few Eton alumni who haven’t had the the best reputation recently, especially with the truth. The similarities are frightening!ecclesaddick said:What has going to Eton got to do with football? idiotI always find it funny how people stand up for an antiquated system of privilege, favouritism and class. Perhaps they feel safe in knowing their place.

We were skint even before the unofficial ESI takeover.SELR_addicks said:Skint less than a month in, must be a record for a new ownership

I'm concerned about his fitness, but whether he has children or not doesn't bother me.YannTheMann said:A RB with injury problems who hasn't had a pre season and 2 kids. My excitement knows no bounds18 -
Jordan Cousins may be out for a couple of months at Cambridge, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if they came back in for McGrandles on loan. It would involve another wage subsidy, given Cambridge’s budget, so doubtless Charlton will be hoping for a permanent move away.
Of the four exit candidates, I think McGrandles was the one most likely to contribute, given his track record at League 1 level, especially as Dobbo and the talented but inexperienced Anderson appear to be our only fully fit central midfielders. Taylor and Camara may be ready to go on Saturday or shortly thereafter but injuries and suspensions will doubtless take their toll as the season progresses. Given our dreadful start, Dobbo is highly unlikely to sign a new contract and the likelihood is that he’ll be sold for a knockdown fee in January if, as we expect, the side is marooned in mid-table (or worse).1 -
A few observations based on reading last pages:
1) Chuks is in our squad and will be on pretty decent wages. He seems to be left off of player lists for those remaining, but bottom line is that he is eating into the budget whether he plays or not and this can’t be forgotten.
2) I think the financial constraints due to FFP are real, but are time limited before the new owners could inject more? Are we not encountering some limits on spending based on what TS was investing + generating in income? Or in other words, I don’t buy the line ‘we are skint’ as black and white, seems to me there are conditions or excuses around why we are not spending a great deal atm.3) 2 x players for every position is probably the norm and ideally 2 x senior pros + a few youngsters to boost squad numbers. On that basis, I would not be suspended to see the three incomings as a CB, a RB and a LB, the SMT believing we will have Leaburn, May, Chuks and Kanu to choose from up front shortly.4) I would be surprised if DJ is still here by window end, but he has been less mentioned than McGrandles, Payne and Kirk.Let’s see how it unfolds…?1 -
Looked good too. Put a couple of great crosses into the box that should have led to goals.Henry Irving said:

Still don't get the delay on Dabo if we do inevitably sign him. I get he might not be match fit but if he's playing for the u21s surely we could have benefitted from him playing 15 minutes at the end of games to give a knackered Asiimwe some respite6

It's all very well waiting for Dabo, but what happens next week if he can't agree terms and signs for someone else, when the window is closed?3

I'm not that patient BR7, if they don't bring much needed players in, I will be on the case as well. As for the games lost, the last two of those games were lost by goals that mirrored each other, when questioned over Oxford's winning goal Holden stated 'for whatever reason the players decided to leave one at the back while we had a corner at the other end'. I find that a shocking admission that the players do what they want when setting up dead ball situations, it's probably one of the reasons he was dismissed.BR7_addick said:

The conspiracy theorist in me says we’ve already signed Dabo, just delaying the announcement till deadline day0
-
Dabo is out of contract so we can risk dragging out his trial period beyond the closure.0
-
I was told at the weekend that Dabo had failed the medical again13
-
I assume the Dabo situation is due to whatever was discovered in his medical we have heavily dropped our wage terms, maybe even trying to get him on some kind of pay as you play type deal.
He will want something better and cannot blame him.
I would have preferred our target to be someone more reliably fit considering the talented young Asiimwe has clearly looked exhausted the last two games from being over played at such an early stage of his career.1 -
Luke Freeman now a free agent having contract cancelled at Luton - could be a realistic option now ?3
-
New manager coming in dossn't rate Dobson or CBT so they are to be sold & McGrandles & DJ to stay.
Good as any other (non) rumour.2 -
We are very obviously not aiming for top 6. Just another bunch who have persuaded some "investors" to put up some money while the gang are all no doubt on very high salaries. What next Range rovers, Thameside flats & bitches ?Redrobo said:
We need a seasoned striker so “youngster” and “loan” don’t apply.cfgs said:
So Dabo plus two inexperienced youngsters on loan? Marvellous, considering the amount of balls spouted that would leave this the most disappointing window for years. We have signed quality but the squad is like a nursery, with experience dotted throughout.DubaiCAFC said:On that basis Dabo is either not included in the three, not joining, or we are not aiming top six.3
