That figure came from a former employee that dealt with it at the time, about 4 weeks ago.DubaiCAFC said:
I would say he is on more than that, Brum increased his salary a lot when he left us the first time around, then we offered more again when he come back.. The figure you have mentioned that Chuks is on, is close to what Dobbo been offered.CAFCDAZ said:
I got told Chuks was on 7k, in comparison its higher than the majority of our team, but lower than a lot of others in the division. Brannagan at Oxford for example is on 8k, some of readings are still on 10k+. I don't think George is being unreasonable, he is without doubt our most consistent playerDubaiCAFC said:
I think they will look to bring another wing back and another CB as well.cantersaddick said:
Does mean full back/wing back should become a priorityDubaiCAFC said:
I think you might be on the money, especially if we want to keep all our strikers happy if all fully fitcantersaddick said:
Unless we are planning on moving to a 352 in which case wingers aren't really necessary and a young player like Tyreece and a versatile player like Chem are enough options out wide if we want/need to change it up within games.sam3110 said:Depending on the CBT situation we need 1, maybe 2 wingers still, a striker and another left back. Keeper wise I think to truly compete at the top we need better but it's low on the list for January IMO unless someone absolutely mustard is available
Noise is now, they are planning for life without CBT and Dobbo, but they won't let them go on the cheap this month, they have figure they want, and they don't have to sell, and both players are happy to stay till the end of the season. Charlton are in a strong position with them both!
The issue is, they both know the figure Chuks is on, and want the same.. Which isn't going to happen. Both deals they have been offered would take them to among the highest paid players in league One.. That tells you how much Chuks is on, and why they can't move him on easily.1 -
Would be interesting to know if the club see Dobbo as one of their 8 "elite". If so, maybe they would push the boat out more to secure him. If in the middle category, then no. I would argue that, at present, he has to be regarded as one of the very few who would make the elite category.DubaiCAFC said:
I get it from Dobbo point of view, but the club will not pay over the odds now.. We now have a number of good midfielders at the club, and a few that can grow in to the same role that Dobson plays.. He has been offered a good deal, and the club will not offer silly deals like they did in the past to get deals over the line..Steven81 said:It's a good salary Dubai but when you've put blood sweat and tears into the shirt over the last few years and shirkers like Kirk are on alot more plus injured players and newly arriving players of course you will want close to parity it's the same for any worker.
No good signing a player like Coventry and then letting another one of our best walk out the door.13 -
No some are on considerably more. Tedic for example was on 15k, we were paying in the region of 5/7 of that. Gallagher was also on 15k, we were paying 3k, Chelsea wanted us to pay 5k, southall said fuck off you greedy so and so hence him being recalled and sent to Swansea, who paid them 8kSouthWest_Addicks said:@CAFCDAZ - would you say the top 1% earners in L1 is probably the same as the very best academy boys at premier league clubs. For example, Rak-Sakyi & the top L1 players are on a similar wage?1 -
100% agree with this, and I certainly don’t blame him. My point is, I don’t think he will get a better deal financially else where.AFKABartram said:
I get that. But I strongly suspect the club just announced a player on higher wages than what Dobson is being offered (if what’s being suggested is true) in the same position. So that tells Dobson exactly where they see him in the pecking order for the period ahead. If he can get better elsewhere, he’ll be gone and I don’t really blame him.DubaiCAFC said:

Happy to be of assistance. I usually charge for my nuggets of wisdom but occasionally drop one on here for free just for old times sake.Redhenry said:
We have you to thank @cantersaddickcantersaddick said:
Looks like they've listened to what I said a month agocantersaddick said:I think it's time to stop thinking about this window in the context of this season and think longer term (plus some good loans).
We want the kind of window that we look back at this time next year and say "some really important building blocks for a genuine promotion push were put in place then".

Funny balance to have signed 3 CMs in the Jan window.1

I thought we had offered JCH 10k a week?DubaiCAFC said:

MA talks about hopefully signing 2-3 more this window right at the end of this.4

Heard from posh side that JCH wanted 15k a week hence the talks breaking down. Not sure where we're at with it at present.11

Hope we keep Dobbo and he signs a contract, like the sound of Coventry and by the sounds of it he definitely has the potential to play at a much higher level than George.
George is great for us, has massively improved over the past 2 years - he lacks a bit of pace to be top class IMO - but I just think he 'fits' Charlton. Not so sure he'll be the same somewhere else and as others has said, the grass isn't always greener.8 -
If bigger, greener grass turns up for him in this window then I imagine he'll be off.DubaiCAFC said:
Maybe.. but know one is going to pay him what he has been offered.. And clubs that a lot smaller and lower level than Charlton! Grass isn't always greenerElfsborgAddick said:
So no interest from top league one, suggests interest from elsewhere league one.DubaiCAFC said:
I would say, if he really wants to stay, sign the deal.. It is a good deal for him! And pretty sure he will not get the same at any other club!ElfsborgAddick said:
All very well saying a big increase, but that depends on what he is on atm.DubaiCAFC said:
Dobson has no interest in him ATM. If I was him, I would take the deal that has been offered.. It is big increase. But he may also be worried about playing time, especially with the club showing ambition.ElfsborgAddick said:
Coupled with you can bet your life that Coventry will be trousering 10k a week upwards.Steven81 said:It's a good salary Dubai but when you've put blood sweat and tears into the shirt over the last few years and shirkers like Kirk are on alot more plus injured players and newly arriving players of course you will want close to parity it's the same for any worker.
Dobson has been our stand out player and without him we'd be in more s*** than we already are.
You keep your best players.
The increase may still mean his salary is not good enough compared to others.
He has no interest, from any championship clubs, or top league one clubs.. Only enquiry he has had was from Wrexham.. So that tells you all you need to know!!
If it doesn't then he has the choice to take our offer now or wait until the summer and see how green the grass is then and hope our offer is still on the table......... tough choice for him just on the numbers and risk, never mind game time in the future which I assume means add-on £ for being on the grass.
Then there'd be all the personal upheaval of moving to wherever if he does choose to go.
He's been great for us, if he stays he's someone we can always rely on, if he goes I hope it all works out the way he wants and expects.0 -
15k for a bloke who doesn’t start for another league 1 club, yeah I’ll pass thanks17

What a joker. Next.ButtleJR said:Heard from posh side that JCH wanted 15k a week hence the talks breaking down. Not sure where we're at with it at present.1 -
I really want JCH, but if it is way outside our structure and causes unrest then it isn’t worth it. Find a younger, more promising prospect to sign7
-
JCH wanting 15k a week is obscene. Time to move onto the next name on the list whoever that is. Can't see Posh being overly impressed with that either.5
-
£15k way too much.
Time to move onto the next target.2 -

we've got a squad of about 7 thenBR7_addick said:
I’m not counting the shite I’m only counting the ones good enough for a genuine challenge at promotion.cafcfan1990 said:
We definitely do have too many midfielders. Not saying I disagree on quality, but half our squad will be CMs if we sign Coventry.BR7_addick said:We haven’t got too many midfielders, I just wanted that to be out there before it’s said. Our midfield is shite, it’s weaker than the defence (IMO). But the defence takes all the criticism.Any midfielder we sign who’s better than what we’ve got is very much welcomed.1 -
We don't know for sure if Coventry is better than Dobson yet. All just guess work atm, I think it would be foolish to lose him still as he is a performer week in and week out. Barnsley and Oxford fans both said to me they'd like him in their side so he is definitely one of the better players in this league in a midfield role as opposition tend to notice him and we recognise his efforts.NabySarr said:
Coventry is a better player than Dobson, but we would do very well to find another midfielder that is though so I don’t think Dobson has anything to worry about. If what Dubai says is true and we’ve offered him 6.5k a week, I doubt we are offering that to a player that isn’t going to start gamessoapboxsam said:DubaiCAFC said:

Dobson worrying about playing time 🤦🏻♂️I think Dobson and Coventry together would be a very good partnership, and give the defence a lot more protection
I am excited to see Coventry but I'd have been happier to see Dobson sign, 107 games played out of an avaliable 117 I just read on twitter earlier. Outrageous consistency.
Dobson staying would be the best transfer news imo, but of course we need to improve elsewhere as well.7 -

I'd rather spunk 15k a week up the wazoo on new deals for CBT and Dobson, than sign JCH11

Looks like it lots of tweets from Plymouth fans and Plymouth twitter accounts.0

No. No he won't That's absolute garbage.ElfsborgAddick said:

Looks to have a very good left peg on him. At 1:40, yes that’s him taking a corner delivered right into the middle of the six yard box and yes that’s him sending in the follow up cross for a late winning goal that kept Plymouth in the top two with four games left.

I wish we were looking at Aaron Collins at Bristol Rovers. Him and May up front would be a nightmare combination. So mobile and annoying and he can also hold the ball up well.
Not having a stellar season for scoring but 9 assists is not to be sniffed at and he has a LOT of talent.
Possibly out of our price range but would be a menace9 -
In an ideal world for sure but I think I remember Rovers asking for £2.5m which probably prices out of it, he's also not particularly good in the air and I think we'd really benefit from some more physical presence up top, particularly if we're bringing in MG who can allegedly ping a ball wellSwisdom said:I wish we were looking at Aaron Collins at Bristol Rovers.
