I know nothing about most names mentioned here, but a Brighton ST mate of mine reckons Offiah is a really decent player. Also sounds like Jones still has some old friends down the south coast, so hopefully he can do a bit of friendly raiding.
Same mate also reckons Evan Fergusson is in desperate need of a Championship loan to get his confidence back. No idea if we can afford that kind of luxury, but if anyone can get that 19yr old firing again there’s a real talent there.
Carlton Morris would quite literally be the perfect player for us. He is everything Nathan Jones wants in a striker.
If there was any player we were willing to break the bank over, it should be him. Great role model for our young forwards and would allow us to protect Godden a bit who can't be expected to play all 46. You have those two as options in the champ and you're laughing.
The kind of signing if we make you can start to feel a bit more confident about the upcoming season. Unfortunately I think he will well be out of our range.
Agreed. He’s not a prolific goalscorer but can be a nice foil to Godden and be a nuisance, not dissimilar to Chuks. Leaburn just isn’t that player and can’t be relied on to stay fit.
No idea who were going to end up signing, but I’m sure we’ll get it right, and pick up some good bargains, players with ability and the right desire / attitude.
Hope we consider looking at abroad markets, if things get a bit pricey over here.
Speaking a few weeks back to a Brighton fan, he told about Phil Chapel, when he was at Brighton, when he started looking down the European market.
Given the fact we’ve had our Nordic quintet over recently, I hope we go down this route, if the Galbraith fee is escalating out of control.

Scored 8 in 41 appearances last year, is he any good?
More to his game than goals, he would enable the rest of the team. Ball sticks with him, hard to defend against physically. It's also the experience that comes with him, a player that's been there and done it in the champ, no half measures.
We need a bit of physicality up top and he would fit that role. Being blunt that's my dream forward signing for this season within reason.
Would cost about 5 million minimum and the rest though.
What's this number based on?
Depends what database you use. Some have him down as 5 million (transfermarkt, capology) some as high as 15 million (fotmob).
I'd say based on the market he's worth around that minimum. 29 years old, prem experience, championship proven, English, under contract, etc.
You know you have one of the most powerful information tools in your hands. Could always just search yourself rather than ask me who is just reading off of a page.
You must be the most thin-skinned poster in the history of Charlton Life. I was just asking where you'd seen that valuation and what it was based on, I don't think it's an unreasonable question. Morris is a weird one because there are no other recent bids teams have made that I could find to give a ballpark figure and Luton were deliberately vague about his contract extension in 2023 so while I've seen his contract might end in 2027 it seems to be a guess. Transfermarkt is good for some stuff but their valuations are pretty random at times. They have Ethan Galbraith listed as being valued at about £500,000 for instance. They've got Morris around £4.7m but you don't know when that was last updated and I doubt they've taken into account how badly relegation has affected their finances because they can't possibly know that. I'm not familiar with Capology, I've just had a look and it seems to be a website that guesses players' salaries - 'All salary figures are estimates and do not represent official figures'. I didn't see a valuation for him, I'm not sure where to look for that, but it did say his contract expires on 30th June 2025 so maybe not the most up to date page. Fotmob has him listed at 15m euros, which is about £12.8m, but clearly that's just evidence that these sites aren't very up to date because I doubt many teams are valuing a 29 year old L1 player who scored 8 goals last season at that. I was just wondering if you'd seen something that said what Luton valued him at but you're using random websites that guess. That's fine, maybe he will go for £5m but it's not exactly ridiculous to ask where these numbers come from is it?
I have a feeling Jones will want a LARGE POWERHOUSE STRIKER like CHUKS to bring on as an impact player with 15 mins to go - obviously Aneke was past his best and plagued with tight calves and not good enough at championships level (see his Birmingham career) he must have someone lined up…wonder who ?
weve got one, Miles.
Key season for Miles. Really needs to stay fit
This in a nutshell. I really wouldn’t want to go into the season counting on that. Unfortunately for the lad after the last 2 seasons I think it’s more likely that another injury is around the corner. Hopefully not the case but some peoples bodies just can’t cope with professional sport
This is possibly the best chance he has of staying fit, last two years he had no pre season after GBH at Welling and then his long term injury that ruled him out until October time
If he can get a full pre-season under Jones and Dr Will it'll give him best chance possible, as will not having to roll him out for games in the bristol street pizza motors cup
I doubt he will be fit for pre season. The new Chuks
why do we bother with shite pre season games like at Welling ? Aside from the tradition, I really dont see the sense in thoe types of games.
So we can test out how robust our players are against those two footed flying tackles 🤣

The income it gives those clubs (such as Welling)
So, our players get injured and we help other clubs?

What's in it for our first team?
They get eased back into proper football games after a long summer break and we know the teams will come at us looking for an upset, despite it being a friendly. We get to put into practice the summer training on positioning and get the fitness levels and match sharpness to steadily increase in time for the start of the new season.

Come on, get with the game. You're meant to rush onto AI and state "Braziliance said Carlton Morris will cost between £5m-£15m, could you tell me the source that he found this figure from please and towards the lower end". Please don't cause offence by asking directly.

Any chance of a mod clearing up the petty posts? Meant to be grown adults on here and people appear to be desperate for some keyboard warrior antics.
Sauce and bidded,I really do fear for the future of mankind.
😉
The past tense of "bid" is bid or bade, not "bidded". While "bidded" might be used informally, it's generally considered grammatically incorrect in formal writing.

Makes sense I suppose.
I mean, you're thin-skinned because it seems like every other day you're having some kind of crash out on here because someone tried to engage you in a discussion on the discussion forum. I asked where you got your information from because I was interested to see if you'd seen something I hadn't about Morris, and then just pointed out that the sites you're using are guesswork sites. That's not a tangent, it's directly relevant. I do have Google in my hands but I'm not daft enough to think Transfermarkt or Fotmob are a good indicator of player value

what a ridiculous statement, this site is full of petty posts and that is all part of a forum so get off your high horse Mr/Ms/Mrs/Mx Braziliance, I'm sure the mods have better things to do
Not sure about Carlton Morris. Did okay in the Prem considering Luton got relegated, but there’s something about him that puts me off. We definitely need to strengthen up top, but hoping that’s not who we’re focused on

Morris can be a real handful for the opposition.
Hope we consider looking at abroad markets, if things get a bit pricey over here.
Speaking a few weeks back to a Brighton fan, he told about Phil Chapel, when he was at Brighton, when he started looking down the European market.
Given the fact we’ve had our Nordic quintet over recently, I hope we go down this route, if the Galbraith fee is escalating out of control.

Is it half term again?
It’s a bit boring tbh.
