    Baldock at Oxford looked a good player.
    Hope old Richard head is recommending these players to squirrel chops.

    Should we have a seperate thread for our players who are close to departing like Igor? When will Bauer be likely fit enough to pass a medical? Will Solly agree to be loaned out if he can't pass one? Is Fox to a big side a likelyhood? How much will we get for Lookman? Can Hendo command a fee?

    I'd say anyone we can get money for will be gone, which leaves rejects like Rojo and relatively experienced kids like Lennon, Ba, KAG and Dmitrov together with 2016 academy debutants.

    Rumours anyone ?

    I heard from a very good source that Charlton is effectively a rudderless ship: no manager; incompetent CEO; disinterested owner. Nothing has been sorted out yet about the team's management for next season. But when it is, a meagre playing budget will be spent on unknown continentals, untried youths and a sprinkling of uninspiring loanee journeymen. By next January we might just have a squad capable of staving off relegation with a fair wind and the rub of the green. I'm unable to divulge my contact, but as he has a good track record I thought I'd put it out there anyway.
    Usain Bolt ?

    Good guess Fanny, but actually it was this bloke:

    Now that's what Millwall call a proper Charlton fan.

    Maddison wouldn't be cheap. Peterborough's chairman MacAnthony is good at getting value for players.

    He got close to £3m for Conor Washington in January.

    Imagine he'd want similar if not more for Maddison.

    That's the end of that one then.
    We've repeatedly paid over the odds for players since Roland took over, lack of spending on the squad has not really been the problem. The problem has been we've bought crap players for too much money and without any thought to a cohesive plan for tactic, playing style, squad balance etc.

    I agree with the second part, but Sarr and Igor aside, do we actually know what we've paid for players? I'd say Igor was quite a good bit of business at 2.5m. Sarr, at this point, is not, but I would like to see him get more of a chance. Beyond that, it's undisclosed.

    I think it was, as others have posted believe €1,8....or something like that..

    Unfortunately yes - so the world of football can have yet another chuckle at our expense.

    I don't think a single fee has been disclosed by Charlton. Other sources have given us rumoured fees, but none officially confirmed by Charlton I don't think.

    I think that's right, although it seems to be on pretty good authority that Sarr was 1.8m and Igor was around 2.5m.

    It means they can babble on about how much they have invested into Charlton, when in actual fact that figure probably includes all sort of finances that they'll get back, and inflating it. Plus not to mention the fact it's just a debt to Roland to offset tax losses for his company.

    yes, but we don't know how much is appearance related etc etc so fees actually paid could be a lot, lot less.

    Very true, and that's often the case with transfer fees, usually a round number is thrown out but they're done in installments and based on time and appearances, etc., so on.

    My original point was that Sarr and Igor aside, we don't really have any idea what has been spent on players given that everything has been undisclosed. It was in response to someone claiming "Roland has overspent on players," and I was arguing that we really don't know that. We have some insight into Igor and Sarr, although of course we don't know how reliable it is, but as far as I know we haven't even heard rumors of numbers for the likes of Kashi, Bauer, etc.

    Kashi and Bauer signed for us just under one year ago, it seems MUCH longer than that .. I know both have been long term treatment room occupiers but 28 games between them for a whole season indicates to me that whatever the fee paid for either was too much

    Sarr maybe but I doubt Copenagen let a first team player in Vetokele go for a small fee plus several of clauses.

    Well we have an idea as last November KM said they spent £9m on players.

    Whatever we paid for Ba, Bergdich, Lepoint etc was too much.

    I feel like that's an inherent risk in any transfer. Injuries happen, and it's an inherent risk of the game. Whether or not their injuries could hav ebeen managed better (and I'd say that with Kashi, things were done right in trying to avoid surgery), is another story. But more so, evaluating transfers over just one year, or 28 games, isn't necessarily the best strategy. Yes, we're likely to lose both this summer, but ideally we'd be signing players for the next 2-3 years. JBG is a good example, came in, started relatively well, faded a bit, but I think he finished this year very strong. Given he was signed on a free and will presumably be sold for seven figures, it's a successful transfer.

    The problem with signing young, inexperienced players, and not enough players in general, is that they're chucked in, and if they're not good enough, they're not given the opportunity to grow. I think Sarr and Ba both have the ability to be very decent players, and it might be that next year both improve drastically with a full preseason under their belts and by being used to the league. If we sold up now, then they'd absolutely both be a failure, but that might not be true in six months to a year from now.

    Relegation could be a blessing in disguise for Sarr. He could be great in League 1 and the confidence to kick-start his career.

    One player who might appeal is Kenwyne Jones. Now 31-years-old, the Trinadadian international would be a real handful in League One.

    Not a Charlton rumour but this could be interesting.

    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers hopes to sign £3.5m England Under-21 defender Joe Gomez on loan from Liverpool. (The Sun)

    Hope he stays with Liverpool and works under Klopp, reckon he'll get the game time in the Premier League (Especially with Moreno's Left-Back form) next season and reckon he'll reach his potential under Klopp better... Going to the Scottish Premier League will be like returning to the Championship and could see him disappear, i.e. how many English kids in Scotland reach the England team?

    Absolutely. Going to Scotland won't improve him as a player. With Skirtel looking like e is leaving, Toure being about 85 and Loveren being unconvincing, surely he is better off staying and hopefully getting in at CB - England need another CB desperately so hopefully this boy kicks on now.
