Knowing NJ loyalty record. If he gets offered the Wales job, does the recent transfer deals in and out seem like good business!1

This is my big concern - we relied heavily on CBT last season not just for direct goal assists but also opening up space for others as the opposition was forced to double up on him as he was such a potential threat - whilst Campbell shows promise, we are going to rely very heavily on our wing backs for crosses and I think we really need a creative central midfielder and a couple of dead ball specialists as we have no real threat from corners and free kicks.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Maybe a Jed Steer / Declan Rudd type loan late in the window?
We currently have three goalkeepers and whilst an upgrade would be most welcome, there really isn’t any urgency. Plenty of good goalkeepers will also become available for loans etc as squads get finalised.
I would much prefer we concentrate on getting an attacking midfielder.0 -
BIG IF. Chuks and Miles together would be terrifying for most defences at this level.J BLOCK said:
A fully fit Chuks is not only our best striker, but the best striker in the league. You talk about players coming back from injury being a new signing, but getting Chuks available for the majority of the season would be the best signing of the season.fenaddick said:Could Dr Will Abbott prove to be the best signing for our forward line?

Think I’d rather sign no one than sign Lumley. Don’t rate him at allYannTheMann said:If the option is Joe Lumley or to wait id rather wait. Have a good mate who's a Boro fan so saw them play a couple of times when he was there and was dogshit in the couple of games I saw, but he did go on to receive Reading player of the year the season after so shows how much I know!0 -
I'd rather see what Mannion does in preseason than panic sign someone like Lumley.10

I am sensing some sarcasm haha.sam3110 said:
You're right, my sincere apologies as those are not direct quotes from anyone, however there are multiple comments across a multitude of threads on here that allude to the same thing, moaning about a lack of investment and financial firepower, and a general feeling that the current owners aren't willing to spend anything, then when we're rumoured to be spending money on a player, many people then complaining that the fee is too high, the player in question is unfit or past their prime or don't have a good enough scoring record, and therefore paint a doom and gloom picture no matter what the club doBraziliance said:
No one has said that on this occasion? So the quotations are quite ironic.sam3110 said:

"No not on him!"
There is just a discussion over the price tag as it is a lot for a player who hasn't scored for the club that has just sold him for over 3x what they bought him for, potentially.
I imagine most posters on here are happy the club have spent a fee, and actually want to see what's best for Charlton, especially seeing as it isn't any of our money.
That does happen on here, and tbh when it does, it's warranted a lot of the time. There's no denying we have had a few bad transfer windows for the most part, so fans have become skeptical.
This time it seems a bit different. Jones seems to be building a very big, physical side. Ahadme, Edwards and Mitchell are all big lads who will enjoy the physical side. There is a clear direction it seems and it is nice to see. Whether or not it works is another matter.
I find people who are skeptical credit the club where it's due, I know I certainly do and am quite looking forward to seeing Ahadme play for us based on his reviews.5 -
In terms of an attacking midfielder/10, I'd love us to look at Ethan Chislett. Was really impressed by him with Port Vale last season. Seemed fairly quick, covered a number of positions, took his goal at the Valley very well and scored a pen against us at their place.
43 apps last season notching up 9 goals and 7 assists. Will be surprised if Port Vale keep him.

It will be nice to have someone decent with their head in and around the box but I just hope we have players that can deliver the quality passes needed.ButtleJR said:Our crossing, corners and set piece delivery just hasn’t been good enough for a number of years.8 -
I don’t realise that he scored two against us at the valleyButtleJR said:1 -

Don't think many sides will fancy marking Ahadme and Leaburn as a front pair. Just hope we've got the delivery from wide areas to take advantage of it.11

2+2=6 I think.Showmetheway2gohome said:Seems a lot of money for Ipswich striker hope it don’t mean Leaburns off to balance books.
Could it just...maybe just...mean the club is serious in backing the manager to give us the best possibility of getting out the league?6 -
