Fraser hasn't played under Jones, maybe he can get something out of him if he does end up staying8

Outright betting markets are not the same as ‘next manager’ markets. Our odds to win the league or get promoted are unlikely to shorten unless we win our first few fixtures of the season.JamesSeed said:Btw after all the transfer activity we are now 5/1 to be promoted. 16/1 for the title.Unchanged.
Who would we have to sign to lower those odds I wonder. Lionel Messi?
Bookies probably have us about right at 9th favourites (I think that’s generous personally in light of losing CBT, Dobson & most likely May by the time the season starts). They’re definitely not going to shorten our odds because we’ve signed a reserve keeper from Cambridge on a freebie.8 -
It just depends on whether enough bets are placed doesn’t I? I can’t see punters piling in any time soon. ☹️Oh Eddie Youds... said:

Surely a decent deal can be fashioned that enables Scott Fraser to continue as a footballer…..somewhere else.

Totally agree Sage, what bewilders me is you can agree with Golfie & get 66 likes while Golfie gets slagged off for his views. Personally I don't think we're going to get this support from our billionaires that we've been promised. So far we have Cambridges second choice keeper that Jones describes as experienced although he's played less then 30 EFL games. A decent Scottish player in their 2nd Division at around 100k & an experienced midfielder who people are getting excited about because he came from Luton but how many games did he start last year ?Sage said:
People won’t like it, but Golfie is not wrong. We haven’t ever replaced any of the quality we have either lost or sold, and now the only real proven quality we’ve got left who has played for us before looks like he’s being sold.golfaddick said:Todds_right_hook said:
Jesus. Pre season hasn’t started, fixtures not announced, euro group stages not complete, squad numbers not announced. Players contracts still have a few days to run.BigRedEvil said:Chris_from_Sidcup said:
It is possible he doesn't want many more signings. We have: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:
I must have missed Jones stating how many players he is going to sign and in which positions.Scoham said:
Here’s what he said after we signed Mannion.Todds_right_hook said:
Did he say he will have the squad in place or he would like to have the majority of the squad in place?Scoham 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:
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.
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.
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.
But if so its not enough & we will struggle massively. But all we can do is wait & see.
3 keepers
LB: Small, Edun, Edwards
CB: REG, Jones, Gillesphey, Mitchell, Ness
RB: Ramsay, Watson, Asiimwe
Midfield: Berry, Coventry, Anderson, Taylor
Wingers: Campbell
Strikers: May, Chuks, Leaburn, Kanu
I've not included the younger kids or people like Fraser who will likely go.
So that's already a 23 man squad when Mitchell signs. Assumption would be that we will definitely add a striker and then i guess we probably need a wide attacker/winger and an attacking midfielder.
Beyond that i can't see us signing anyone else unless a player leaves (like May). Highly unlikely we're going to be making another 5/6/7 signings, especially when Jones has previously said he wanted a smaller, more streamlined squad.
That squad is far too similar to the one which ended the season
i suggest that comments like this are put on hold for a month, then we can assess and comment on the depth and quality of the squad.
Said every year about this time when old sages's like myself can see the writing on the wall.
IF we sold Alfie for £1.5M & IF that money was spent on a decent replacement (ie, a proven goalscorer at this level who will get you 15-20 goals a season) then I would begrudgingly concede it's a good deal.
But it wont. We'll buy 1 or 2 of the goalscorers previously mentioned who'll end up with 8 or 10 goals.....with everyone saying it's up to the rest of the team to make up the shortfall.
Which is the problem as we've not had other players chipping in with 6 or 7 goals......apart from JRS & CBT who left and have not been replaced.
So again, one of the reasons why we need another 6 or 7 players is that our current squad DOESN'T SCORE GOALS.
And relax.
We need around 7 very, very good players anyway, that’s bloody hard enough as it is. 8 if May leaves is even harder.
What I simply don’t understand is lots of people are saying we’ll just go and sign May’s replacement and a younger version or we’ll sign two strikers for the cost of what we’d get for May or whatever else. But if it was that simple, why would Huddersfield be after the top goal scorer in the league when they could sign other, younger, less expensive strikers? They want May because they know he’ll score 20+ goals next season, that’s why.
Of course, there is a long way to go yet and the season doesn’t start for another 7 weeks. However, don’t put the pressure on to say we’re trying to have the squad pretty much complete by the start of pre-season, which is just 5 days away, and we need more than 5 top quality signings.
Also tired of seeing Coventry being better than Dobson when we simply haven’t seen it at all. He’s only 2 years younger than Dobson and has not even played 100 games yet whereas Dobson has played over 300. George seemingly just another player who really needs to be replaced.
This isn’t being doom and gloom, it’s just we are nowhere near strong enough for what we need to achieve and there is so much more to do, on and off the pitch, that letting the only one in the team who scores goals leave is quite frankly mental right now.
2 I believe, but he will still probably be the heartbeat of our midfield but we'll have to see. Plenty of time left to sign players of course but I feel Groundhog day is just around the corner.
Problem is the record never changes. He was moaning exactly the same the season we signed Lyle Taylor and got promoted. Everyone wants signings done early but you just never know how a season is going to go until it actually starts and the window is closed and we actually get to see the players.0 -
I totally get the reasons why, but we really need to start calling some of these players bluff a bit when they are sitting on contracts and not willing to take less to the point where we have to pay them off to be rid of them - your Frasers and Kirks of this world- if they have 2 years left on a contract, but are not good enough - instead of sending them out on season long loans (where we pay most of their wages anyway) we should just go back to them and be like - well if you are not willing to move on unless your overblown wage demands that you don't deserve are met then off to the reserves you go for 2 years - see how you feel about that when it comes to finding a club when you haven't played a competitive game for 2 years.3

Nice in theory but you then have a disgruntled player hanging around the training ground who is still being paid 100% of their wages and who is also taking up a squad space when we're only allowed a certain number of over 21 year old players.Manic_mania said:I totally get the reasons why, but we really need to start calling some of these players bluff a bit when they are sitting on contracts and not willing to take less to the point where we have to pay them off to be rid of them - your Frasers and Kirks of this world- if they have 2 years left on a contract, but are not good enough - instead of sending them out on season long loans (where we pay most of their wages anyway) we should just go back to them and be like - well if you are not willing to move on unless your overblown wage demands that you don't deserve are met then off to the reserves you go for 2 years - see how you feel about that when it comes to finding a club when you haven't played a competitive game for 2 years.

Hearing that Alfie May plays some Cricket, it feels like his career at Cafc is in the corridor of uncertainty.

Fraser was always going to be the most difficult player to move on. Mind you, given his publicly expressed desire to leave the club and move up to Scotland, there should be scope for some compromise on his part, although he may find it difficult to get anyone to commit to a 2-year deal.
I wouldn’t be surprised if nothing gets done until the end of the window.2 -
One day there will be a transfer rumour on here. Hopefully.6
-
Yeah as I say, I get the reasons why. Its why I'm saying it's calling their bluff because if you are giving the player 2 options - find another club and get what wages the market dictates you are worth, or 2 years at an overblown wage but absolutely no competitive football for those two years, and you can mope around the training ground all you like but you will just be held up as an example to the younger players not to waste their potential - "see how you could end up without application or ambition?" I get that it's a risk and at the end of the day, I don't run a football club, have no experience of it and would probably run the club into the ground with my attitude and am probably in cloud cuckoo land - but its what I would be pushing to do.Henry Irving said:

Rumour - Mitchell signing announced early next week2
-
Surely this is the week when things get going.redbuttle said:One day there will be a transfer rumour on here. Hopefully.
We needed 8 first team players at the start of the summer (9 if May leaves).
So far we have only signed 1 (Luke Berry) plus two back up players (Mannion & Edwards who have been brought in to compete with our future 1st team keeper & Small).
A slow start would be an understatement.11 - Sponsored links:

Who would we have to sign to lower those odds I wonder. Lionel Messi?3 -

like any work place if one of your colleagues is being treated in a different way from others, some will see it as fair as he's lazy or no good at his job while others will be upset that their mate is been mistreated by the boss.
Bottom line is, no one forced the club to sign Fraser or Kirk, we did it quite willingly and gave them long contracts to protect that investment and to make the deals more attractive. So Fraser and the others are entitled to stick with the contract they were given.
Personally, I think a deal will be done this summer. Kirk and McGrandles have been moved on for which Andy Scott deserves a little, very little, credit.3 -
Responding to your first points I think we may already see that depending on how the Alfie situation is/has been handled as well. NJ has very much of a "my way or the highway" kind of attitude from what I can tell.Henry Irving said:

I know Charlton fans are negative at the best of times but I don’t think Iv ever seen it this bad before pre season has started. Jones has really F*****d up by saying he’ll have his squad sorted because to get 3/4 bodies in before pre season wouldn’t normally be seen as a bad thing .

Those that won't and who don't fit his style of play will be gone while those that do, like Berry, will be brought in to be Jones' leaders on the pitch and in the dressing room.
It's possibly why he prefers younger players like Anderson and Kanu who work hard and can be fashioned into his type of player. They are also good players in their own right.
High risk strategy that didn't work at Stoke or Southampton but did at Luton, who were probably closer to where Charlton are now.
I would have thought Alfie's playing style, hard running, closing done, being general nuisance to the opposition plus his goal record would fit in with Jones desired way of playing but it seems not.7 -

Luton striker Joe Taylor being mentioned elsewhere. Similar in height to May. Scored 10 in 19 on loan at Lincoln last season.3

If he was a permanent that would be a serious signing. Luton took him from Colchester when he was doing well on loan and I’d worry they’d do the same if he did well with us, if he only came on loan.
