This is a gut feeling, but I just think we MUST go with 2 up top, whatever that looks like whether it’s 352/442. I just think that’s what’s most effective in this hellhole of a league.
Except all those pesky clubs that keep getting promoted with 433.
If the business model is to do a Brentford or Brighton, and bring in youth or quality signings then cash in after a season or two, then surely we need to be BUYING top quality youth or lower league standouts. Where in the summer window has this policy been shown, that will produce the £5-6m+ needed to stay afloat / break even. How will signing on loan, other clubs youngsters help put value on our own youngsters. None of this business plan makes ecomonic sense, other than spend less than the mug before, whilst making it look like effort has been made.
Now we just have to find a manager who can get a tune out of these strangers. Big week ahead.
Brilliant. If we sign no one or 1 or 2 it's a major whinge. We sign 3 & suddenly that's wrong as well & they are no longer deadline day signings, but become strangers.
I do understand people are frustrated and I’d like us to have brought in more experience. It’s fair game pointing it out but there is a few people on here that do repeat the same negative stuff constantly, which can be fucking tiresome.
Might be because the last 10 years has been rinse and repeat and the same people fall for the same nonsense from each new set of owners??....
Shut up with this shit. It does my fucking head in. It doesn’t even make sense.
Yes, we need to sign players, but ideally they would be good enough.
Let me give you an example: ‘Sign a striker’ *Club signs Bonne*
‘No. Not that one.’ What’s the problem?
If it was ‘Sign ANY striker. No not that one’ you might have a point.
We all know Bonne is shit. Poor example. Most on here, like me will have never seen some of these players play, possibly never heard of them. Because they’re not household names, they’re already shit! If they’re shite they’re shite. I for one won’t judge until they’ve had a good few games.
They might never "have a good few games"
That's the issue
A bunch of unproven, inexperienced young players will not enable our own unproven, inexperienced young players to force our way into the Top 6.
That's the issue. Oh, plus we've spent about 25p and a packet of polos.....
such a negative spin it’s a joke, I wonder why some of you even bother with Charlton.
SPIN ???!
Methven uses SPIN
I am within my rights to point out the bleeding obvious. You may be happy with getting worse season on season.
We were promised money would be spent. Boasts of "Billionaires" and a desire that CAFC only makes sense in the upper half of the Championship.
Do you think ANY of their actions add up to supporting their claims currently?
I don't.
But sit there praying for a miracle if you like.
Can you find me where Methven said money would be spent ? ( some has clearly ) but I’d also like to read that.. I remember him saying we’d be run sensibly with a good senior management team. That’s what a lot of people wanted, we’ve signed good players now we have to wait and see what they can do once we get a manager in and a few players back fit.
You’re right, according to his sales doc his plan is to slash costs by £7-8m and gain promotion. Cloud cuckoo but he’ll spin it out until we all realise we’ve been done over. I mean step back for a moment. The worst start to a season for decades, the first team to sack their manager this season and signed a load of young players with a handful of senior games between them. I know it’s hard to admit things are going so badly wrong so early and hope is already fading of promotion but don’t sugar coat it. Friends who support other teams are messaging me saying WTF. I think we need to wake up to reality.

WHAT SALES DOC
The one that’s been seen by trusted people who care for this club. I know it’s easier to discredit it rather than wake up to the fact that this lot are no good for us. I know we don’t deserve this bad luck but don’t attack the people who care about this club.
But if it's that bad and the people care for the club that much, they have to share it. If no-one shares it, there's no point referring to it, you may as well refer to the zodiac signs or tarot cards, or a mischievous little green leprechaun that only you can see and hear, for all it's worth.

Assuming that we haven't signed Tedic before midday & that Leaburn isnt fit then that's another match tomorrow that we are going into with only 2 fit strikers.

Have we bollox. We've basically signed anyone mad enough to put pen to paper. Who worth their salt would really show up for an outfit with no manager?
This will be a shit show of cataclysmic proportions, even for us!
Iv seen so many other fans say they’re jealous about the business we’ve done but Charlton fans are just never happy.
Complete nonsense. Most fans are probably chuckling away at the back. We are a laughing stock. I'm sick to the back teeth of us signing another no mark and people coming on here and telling us how good they are. They won't be. I've seen it all before. More than most with this shower of a football club. I flatly refuse to be taken in by clowns like Methven,Sandgaard and Southall I can see us being on the back of some real good hidings this year It's a complete and utter mess.
It has been an excellent window , with young players with pace and energy … too 6 here we come

Anyone think it’s strange that Lyle Taylor is still around ? Not that I'd want him back but just not seen any rumours about him at all. Has he retired ?
Might as well. Seemingly no one wants him for some reason.
fantastic window lost count 12/13 with the keeper ? squad of youth , pace and energy some real competition for places now. Well done to the new owners and Andy Scott for getting these done so quickly in the short time the have been in the role .. now down to the new manager he as the tools top6 the aim COYR
You have surpassed yourself, an incredible post even by your miserable standards.
Now we just have to find a manager who can get a tune out of these strangers. Big week ahead.
Brilliant. If we sign no one or 1 or 2 it's a major whinge. We sign 3 & suddenly that's wrong as well & they are no longer deadline day signings, but become strangers.
(Obvs none of us know how they will perform).
I have been consistent with my whinging. I have always said that we needed the bulk of the squad signed by pre-season - ideally before they went away to Spain but certainly once back & well before the season starts. I gave 3 markers....1) before the Spain trip, 2) Aug 5th and 3) Sept 1st. And I have not wavered from that. Players signed in August should be fillers (like the 2 or 3 today) NOT mainstays of the team.
1 reason why we're one of the busiest League 1 clubs today and teams like Pompey & Wigan have been quiet is because they did their business early. Its not rocket science. You might not believe this but I get no pleasure saying this season in & season out. Call me out when I'm wrong by all means but this season is playing out just like last year. And we know how that went.

Because the person who shared it with the people who are Charlton through and through didn’t want to reveal who leaked it. It’s fine, put your fingers in your ears and carry on shouting I don’t want to hear bad news. When people get scammed they will do anything but admit that they were taken in by it all.

Who are you most excited about and why?
The right wing back going to be a fav very direct with pace , and the Man City striker looks a force up top think he could be a real find and get the best out if May

Yes and we probably all agree. But we don't all whine incessantly. You & others give the impression you've never had a single day of happiness in your miserable lives.
Know a lot about our new signings do you? Relax a bit and let's see how it plays out. Genuinely amazes me that some of you can be this miserable all the time and still function.
