Ronan Curtis potentially as a wide option? I know he's currently training at AFCW but I would be surprised if he didn't get a League 1 club if he's fully fit.

My guess is he’ll spend 6 months in L2/lower L1 to test out his legMarcusH26 said:Ronan Curtis potentially as a wide option? I know he's currently training at AFCW but I would be surprised if he didn't get a League 1 club if he's fully fit.

Not digging you out at all @Braziliance but the Players Marks thread is one of the things I like the most about this forum. I feel it produces a pretty accurate reflection of how well each player played, because the people voting on it are pretty hardcore fans who follow the matches very closely. I’m always gratified to see how the final stats often reflect my ranking order. And I think most of those submitting their votes are very fair. If a player who isn’t popular, or hasn’t been playing well, has a very good game he’ll be high up the table. Similarly when our most popular player (Dobbo) has a poor game, he’ll be down the bottom end, as it should be.Braziliance said:
Boring, but you do realise it's the metric used by every official social media account from EFL league pages?lancashire lad said:Braziliance - your continued use of "who scored" is not only boring but does not give a true reflection as pointed out by NabySarr although I admit that I do use some of those stats in the Statbank but only as I can't find another source.
It gives a far more realistic showing than anything else.
I appreciate the work you do on the stat Bank thread (I suspect this may be why you keep quoting my posts?) But it doesn't compare to apps that actually track every little detail players do through the game.
People could score a 1 or a 10 on the stat threads and it's extremely unlikely those kind of stats can be used.
Again I appreciate your stat tracks but Hector being motm on them does not qualify as genuine man of the match awards.I prefer the opinions of lifers over statistical analysis any day, no matter who is MotM on the stats page.Stats also have their place, but for me they never tell the full story.7 -
Thought I'd just been transported back 12 months as I'm sure the exact same thing was said last December.ValleyBen said:No point quick fixing anything in January, as we are not going to get relegated and if they do not significantly improve the quality of our squad no chance of getting promoted either, so might as well stick with what we currently have, save the money for the summer if the decision makers are throwing in the towel for the 23/24 campaign.
Ho hum.

Thats rumours for ya !Chunes said:Lol. Pages wasted arguing over something that isn't even true?? Now it's a proper transfer window thread!0 -
Kirk leaving is interesting as well as pleasing.
There is a limit to the number over 21 YO players we can have in the squad so this frees up a space for a replacement.
If he was on the rumoured £6k pw then he would have been paid approximately £450k over the remaining 18 months of his contract.
We can assume he's been paid some and perhaps all of that to tear up his deal.
So have the club spent all our transfer budget on moving him on or is this the first bit of money to be splashed on rebalancing the squad.
The other noteworthy part of this is how it didn't leak either via Cawley or "ITK" fans.
Scott, Methven et al playing their cards very close to chests so far and very little, other than some comments from MA, talk at all about what they plan in this window.

We won’t have paid him all of it, we will have come to an agreement probably taking off an estimate of what he’s likely to earn at a new club in the next 18 months and then paid him the restHenry Irving said:Kirk leaving is interesting as well as pleasing.

Funny how his form picks up when he’s looking for a contract for next season.Talal said:I'm far from a Hector fan but he's been good the last few games and better than Thomas, who's done an ok job. Maybe we'd have been closer to the playoffs had he fancied turning up from the get go.6 -
Bit early for that isn’t it? Adam Matthews only used to try from around March onwardsLargeAddick said:

I think he actually said they were exploring options and that he was likely to leave. I just assumed it was a loan or very cheap/free sale lined upScoham said:

I'm prepared to be whooshed, but......mendonca said:I can't see why we would have spent our whole transfer budget, only to free up a space?
I seriously hope to god that we are looking go spend more than £450k & £6k p/w salary in January.1 -

I would say if you’re expecting a couple of million to be spent, prepare to be disappointed.golfaddick said:

I am expecting another reliable squad player who is a good influence in the dressing room and fully recovered from his tragic record of recent injuries.12

I don't think it should be read quite as literally as that. What it does mean is that we are looking at AT LEAST one more permanent signing (who we now have space for) and that in theory at least there is 6k p/w available now that wasn't before, which at this level would be not inconsiderable.golfaddick said:

Plus it shows that the idea that our operating budget is completely tapped out already is either outdated or just wrong.
Now this being Charlton it's highly possible we go and blow it by signing a dud who makes Kirk look like Messi in comparison but there's reason for (extremely cautious) optimism I think.1 -
Wrong again we can afford him but restrictions and rules will stop us …Braziliance said:
Exactly. So if we did sign him, it would be fuck all to do with his age and only because we can't afford him.RonnieMoore said:
Yeah ok …… Bauer wages would blow our FFP.. more likey to do with wages and restrictions in league one …Braziliance said:If we aren't interested in Bauer because of 'age' and then go ahead and sign Caulker. That will tell you everything you need to know about this mob.
If Caulker signs, it's very telling.3 -

It's tempered by having long established well respected posters expressing reservations about our current ownership and leadership again though.thenewbie said:

It's easy to ignore the likes of me if I come across as a condescending look at me and hear what I say self appointed authority, my views having no more credibility than anyone else's on here, but not so those more in the know with what goes on at the club and familiar to us.
Kirk, who as far as I know didn't breach the terms of his contract with us performance wise, was a poor signing and a waste of money in retrospect and had to go, which he has.
Sorting out his situation was clearly a priority, so like you, I regard his departure and as a welcome and promising sign of things to come. Let's see what January brings.1 -
I doubt there is now an additional 6k pw available. If in paying up his contract it has cost us say 4k pw until June 2025 then that has only freed up an extra 2k pw from now until then. Yes it means we can offer a bit more to one or two players but Kirk leaving won't have been cheap. It's just given us a little bit of wiggle roomthenewbie said:
