Does it really matter though?
We could have all the best scouts and we'd still be heavily reliant on Roland actually wanting to sign the chosen players as well as reliant on Roland to spend decent money!
Two major stumbling blocks to any deals whoever the scout (either computer geek or Slade's guy) and that's before smaller problems with Roland arise or even before katrien gets involved!2 -
Or, another way to put it, as one of the modern World's great thinkers said, "just because some things are shitty, it doesn't mean that everything's shit".... ;-)ShootersHillGuru said:
I'm obviously making my point badly. It's not particularly this new Slade scout rumour. It's wider than that. This regime have been clueless and our CEO is a walking breathing disaster but not every single thing that the club has done or is trying to do is bad. If the Slade thing with his own trusted scout being appointed is true then is a very good thing. Just like the signings of Ajose, Holmes and Magennis have been good.vff said:
I know you have a bee in your bonnet about being negative, but I did say that this could be positive if true but with no imminent impact.ShootersHillGuru said:
Or could it be that in the time Slade has been at the club he has had to work very hard to get what he wants but has finally won the battle and persuaded RD that if he wants a promotion winning team that it takes going that extra mile.vff said:
I thought that there was a chief UK scout at the club ? So the rumour is Russell Slade is getting his player recruitment man, right at the end of the transfer window ? That may be positive if the sketchy rumour proves true but is not going to have any imminent impact & Duchatelet still controls the purse strings.

opCAFCsayer said:I know this regime are inept, but are you suggesting that they have waited until three days before you are not allowed to make transfers anymore to bring in someone whose sole role would be to find people to bring in on a transfer?
Who is suggesting that @CAFCsayer ?
Hope that todays game brings some rumours / also whether @LouisMend can ask Russell Slade on how it is going transfer wise.Redhenry said:sounds like Slade is getting his player recruitment man to Charlton. Thought it would have been OTOS by now.
Perhaps no immediate impact but I can't see a problem with a manager getting his ducks in a row with people he wants and trusts.
I can't see anything other than this being a positive move going forward. Still lets spin it to be completely negative.
You have somehow gone on to spin the unsubstantiated scout rumour that Duchatelet has seen the light with Slade convincing him and that Duchatelet now wants a promotion winning team. Not sure where you get that from.
By all means critisise whenever it's necessary but there are far too many posts on here that are spun negatively regardless of what's happening. It is driving people away from this forum and stopping people posting what they have heard because they know it's just going to be ridiculed.3 -
It's not a change of "strategy"Redhenry said:This is a change of strategy. The new man is Slades appointment, not Katrien, he is responsible for some of our signings already.
Surely this is postive.
It's a change of personnel. At most it is a re-distribution of responsibilities from Slade/Head/Katrien to this new person.
It is NOT a change in "strategy."
It's a good thing, that the manager gets someone his knows and trusts to work with but where does that leave Steve Head, the chief scout who was only announced three months ago?
http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/charlton-athletic-chief-scout-appointment-steve-head-3125202.aspx
Of course, Head came before Slade so maybe this is a sign that Slade is getting his man and not Katrien's?
Or will we have both? In which case what does KM do in recruitment?2 -

There was a rumour a few weeks ago that Ipswich fancied Lookman. With Daryl Murphy set to depart Ipswich for Newcastle they may have the funds to buy Lookie now.0

Indeed it is. Think I read it's something to do with natural chemicals in your body that dyes it. It's sad that I'm even typing this when there's a game on. Ffs, what has happened?!?7 - Sponsored links:

Was told by two people today that we are in talks with an ex-england international defender, didn't have the name. With our track record it'll be Chris Poxwell and the talks will be about Lookman going to Huddersfield4

Given that Pearce (also left footed) seems to be first choice and Upson has barely played in the last few years, that would make less than zero sense.SELR_addicks said:

I thought a draw was a fair result; we have more talent in our side than Bolton but they are better organised. Hopefully another month or two will improve our teamwork. Our shortcomings in midfield must be obvious to Slade and I assume he is trying to fix that.
Nice to see Laurie Wilson and Phil Parkinson given good receptions. Good chaps the pair of them.11 -
