If we play 2 up top every game, 3 big and 3 small is ok I think, especially if one of each is Aneke who's injured 70% of the time and the other is a youngster who whilst they broke through this season and did well, needs time to grow and develop.
May, Godden, Kanu Leaburn, Aneke, New ST
6 strikers would be a bit mad, even with Aneke. 4 plus Aneke is more than fine, could see Kanu going out on loan though.
May, Kanu, Ladapo, Aneke, Wickham, Leaburn...
Different situation though, Wickham was essentially a trial with Leaburn out for the season, our squad will hopefully be smaller and better quality. We won’t have 6 strikers of that im fairly certain,
Especially as we have Casey and M'Bick who are both about to go over the 40 goals in a season mark and are waiting in the wings. Casey is the same age Kanu was at the start of last season, so they may well be strikers 5&6 but without being true first team squad players.
Yeah fair point, definitely Mbick as I think physically he's more likely to step up quicker than Casey, a bit like Leaburn over Kanu. If we are going 2 up top I'd like to think we'll go with 4 plus Aneke.
Matt Godden evidently saying a move to us would suit him very well. Comes from a Kent golfers source where Matt is a member. He’s from Canterbury where he has family…..32 but would surely still be a threat to League One defences. Sorry but I can’t say exactly who I got this info from but please note, there’s nothing to say that talks or interest from the club have (or will), take place.
Remember hearing he supported Charlton when he was at Peterborough. Maybe too similar to May
My brother cleans his windows. Often talk football, never mentioned he’s a Charlton fan. Did say he heard that Sandgaard was a lunatic. 😂
When on holiday or meet new people when out and about my lying opening gambit is I have no interest in Football anymore; the reply on many occasions is " you must be a Charlton fan, what division are they in now?"
I think a lot of the tosh we’ve had on the pitch hasn’t had much infest in football either.
I’m a bit confused. I was given to understand that on Wednesday the retained and released lists would be announced. This, as far as I know, hasn’t been the case……have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick?

The conversations happened yesterday. It doesn’t mean the club have to immediately put out a list afterwards.

Jones said he was sitting down with the players face to face to talk about their future. So I guess the list would be soon.

Jones was talking to the players on Wednesday, no timeline was given when lists would be announced

I believe talks with out of contract players started Wednesday. The list of released players will be announced when talks have ended.

I wish they would make it snappy. I need to make a decision on my season ticket and waiting on this announcement before I do so.

Only 10 of the 24, actually 20 as the 4 play off teams won't announce for a while have released their retained list so far.
We're not the only ones to have not announced our list, yet.

Typical Charlton.
Always the last to start a match. And the last to finish.
Now we're the last to announce our released list. What is wrong with this club?

If only talking to those they want to keep. It should have been out by tea time yesterday🤔
Sean Raggett released by Portsmouth, I know he is 30, but certainly passes the height test at 6'5", an ideal CB, and could prove an decent addition...🤔

View from Ian Darke (commentator, Pompey fan): "Sad to hear Sean Raggett and Joe Rafferty are leaving Pompey . Club owes them an enormous debt of gratitude. Good signings for someone."
Are there any tough decisions on who to release this year?
Other than Small, all of the below will leave surely.
Thierry Small, Tyreeq Bakinson (his Wednesday contract expires this summer), Connor Wickham, Michael Hector, Panutche Camara (his Ipswich contract expires this summer), Terell Thomas, Lewis Ward, Lucas Ness, George Dobson, Jack Payne, Diallang Jaiyesimi, Richard Chin.

Ness has already extended (though maybe will still leave)
But I think there are arguments for keeping any of Hector, Thomas, Bakinson and Wickham. I wouldn’t be massively shocked if we kept one or two of them (definitely not all of them!) if Jones like them, but also wouldn’t be surprised if we released all of them
