I get where your coming from Golfie, we’re miles off at the moment, but let’s hope we are in a much better place with signings in a months time.golfaddick said:
Still not enough & the 4 or 5 new players ncludes 2 GK's. We are still a very long way off assembling a squad that could get top 6, let alone automatic promotion. I'm not sure if a couple of defenders, 2 GK's & a midfielder on the wrong side of 30 could be described as squad rebuilding.Yann897 said:
Technically it’s 4 players if Mitchell is done which is a lot more than usual before pre season, I think Jones has put un needed pressure on himself by saying it’ll be done when in hindsight it’s so rare to have your squad sorted by then but hopefully 2/3 next week and that’ll take us up to 6/7 which isn’t to bad.charlton_hero said:Doesn't pre-season start next Thursday? I thought we would have done more business by now if I'm being honest. Hopefully a busy week ahead.

I’m not disputing that the squad is light but Why 2 goalkeepers?golfaddick said:

The difference this year is Jones set the expectation that the squad would largely be in place in time for preseason.Mendonca In Asdas said:

With that being less than a week away it’s not looking like it’ll happen. We need around 8-10 signings and a handful of players to move on.3 -

I really think this was a dumb move from Jones, essentially created a pitfall for himself by setting what is clear now, an arbitrary deadline for what is an ambitious 'promise'. I'm sure next week we will get fed platitudes of lots being 'close'Scoham said:

Unless Jones is very commercially aware and made said comments as part of season ticket drive or if he genuinely believed he would be able to achieve that turnaround in 6 weeks whilst most players take their holiday period, it just feels naive0 -
It's not always what you pay, it's who you sign, and we have got some good signings and fought off competition in doing so, so yes, they are economical but at the same time valuable to us as a club, and hopefully more still to arrive, this season could be a good one...🤔felthamaddict said:eastterrace6168 said: two frees and an £85k wing back.

Let’s get real, we’re not going to have made another 5-6 signings in the next week, 1-3 perhaps?Scoham said:

the problem is that the majority want it to be the first statement and are hanging on it, winding themselves up and others up because they can’t see it happening.
if and I know it’s an if and we have 2-3 in next week and another 2-3 in during the rest of the window, jones has got his wish. And that is a lot of our business (not all) done in time for pre season training.3 -
I think every manager in the country would want most of their transfer business done for the first day of preseason but there's so many moving parts on transfers nowadays that it's just not quite doable. I'd be happy with another 2-3 next week and then work on thinning down the squad a bit.10

“I’m sure that by the time that we do get to the first day of pre-season, we’ll have the majority, if not all, of our squad in place. That’s so important because pre-season is a real big time, an important time to gel the squad and lay down certain things.

That's one of the funniest rumours I've seen this summer. Think their club record signing is their first choice striker Emi Riis anyway , so the thought they'd break that to sign Alf is completely ridiculous 😂😂😂0 -

Nothing to do with rumours, but might help take a different approach, some might say it’s been years in the making at Charlton!

the problem is that the majority want it to be the first statement and are hanging on it, winding themselves up and others up because they can’t see it happening.
if and I know it’s an if and we have 2-3 in next week and another 2-3 in during the rest of the window, jones has got his wish. And that is a lot of our business (not all) done in time for pre season training.“We’d like to get the squad completed by our return date of June 27th,” he said. “We’ve worked tirelessly for the last three to four weeks in terms of arranging meetings with players. We’re trying to be bold in our recruitment.
“I’m sure that by the time that we do get to the first day of pre-season, we’ll have the majority, if not all, of our squad in place. That’s so important because pre-season is a real big time, an important time to gel the squad and lay down certain things.
I am guessing another GK, a striker and an attacking midfielder, but would appreciate the facts.
Cheers.

Obviously it’s not enough, no teams will have their team sorted by end of June but we’ve got a big squad compared to most seasons and some good signings in . I’m excited to see who else we sign.golfaddick said:
True, he's never stated how many players he wants in & maybe he's happy with just the ones we've signed plus Mitchell, a GK and A.N.Other.Redrobo said:

Still not enough & the 4 or 5 new players ncludes 2 GK's. We are still a very long way off assembling a squad that could get top 6, let alone automatic promotion.

Technically it’s 4 players if Mitchell is done which is a lot more than usual before pre season, I think Jones has put un needed pressure on himself by saying it’ll be done when in hindsight it’s so rare to have your squad sorted by then but hopefully 2/3 next week and that’ll take us up to 6/7 which isn’t to bad.charlton_hero said:Doesn't pre-season start next Thursday?

Ho hum.
Football forums, and patience don’t seem to go hand in hand.
With that being less than a week away it’s not looking like it’ll happen. We need around 8-10 signings and a handful of players to move on.

But if so its not enough & we will struggle massively. But all we can do is wait & see.0 -

The point is it’s looking unlikely all signings will be done by this time next week. Not saying we should panic though.Redrobo said:

Without knowing the numbers and positions how will we know what success looks like?
Is everyone going to be using their own personal opinion as to what that is or is there an ITK that has an informed idea?

There seems to be a fair few people with 'Football Manager' mentality.
If only signing players in the real world was as simple as that.

Without knowing the numbers and positions how will we know what success looks like?
Is everyone going to be using their own personal opinion as to what that is or is there an ITK that has an informed idea?
I think we will know what success looks like by how we do next season, the same as every season.
Before then I imagine that as this is a fans forum people will give their personal opinions on signings and perceived squad depth. Be an odd forum if that didn't happen.
If you are looking for facts from a manager about numbers and positions then I think you will be disappointed as that rarely happens and Jones has already been clear he won't give info like that.1 -
Thank you. I edited to delete the “e”. What was I thinking? I do, however, feel you have opened the door to some hard work, given the all pervasive grammatical kamikaze, chuck it at a fan spelling strategy and punctuation free zone that form large chunks of this forum. I look forward to seeing much more of your invaluable work.robroy said:
