Russell Slade is hopeful Charlton can wrap up further deals before the summer window closes on Wednesday night.
And the Addicks boss insists he is “very reluctant” to lose any squad members that are in his immediate plans.
Speaking after the EFL Trophy penalty shootout win over Southampton U23s, Slade said: “We’re still looking to do some more business with one day to conclude everything we want to do and to push on really, and to move forward.
“We’re hopeful we can do that.”
When asked whether he had one or two more arrivals in mind, Slade replied: “Possibly two but we will have to see. It’s been quite unusual this window I think.
“With no emergency loans many clubs have left it to the last minute and some clubs have been over protective in terms of not letting players out.
“It’s been interesting and quite demanding from that point of view. We will wait and see and hope we would have done some kind of business by close of play.”
While Slade is still eyeing the market for potential reinforcements, Ademola Lookman’s name will undoubtedly surface as a possible outgoing tomorrow.
News Shopper:
And when asked by News Shopper whether he thinks any of his players will be targeted on deadline day, Slade said: “You never know, you really don’t.
“It’s okay being targeted but unless you’ve made steps and targeted players for a while it’s difficult to find replacements if somebody comes in randomly that you’re not expecting.
“So we would be very, very reluctant to let anyone go in that kind of situation.”1 -

Lot of hope in there. Don't sound too promising for me. Suppose he will just have to be patient.4

So we are trying for 2 more. Smacks of the old "we tried but couldn't quite get them over the line, be patient there is always January" line to me. Meanwhile Arsenal come in at 11.45 for Lookman and we manage to wrap that one up inside 15 mins.10

Alright troops, here we are.
The business end of the summer transfer window. The time for foreplay is over.
This thread has over one million views and, to be frank, it's been rather emotional. But right now, I'm going to need you to channel your inner Jack Bauer because we've got less than twenty four hours to bring it home. Dig deep and let's bring this puppy in.
Let's do ourselves justice. It's the last dance of the evening and nobody wants to go home alone.

Is this your plea for us to finish strong by actually discussing transfer rumours? Because if so, I'll happily throw in the Towell.LoOkOuT said:Alright troops, here we are.

The fact that we're still chasing Thompson and Walsh, two players we've been linked with for quite some time, kind of makes me want to pull my hair out. Yes, without the emergency loan system clubs are more likely to hold onto their players, at least until very late, but surely this was anticipated? We anticipated it on this thread.
I'm all for picking your players carefully and wisely, but it's to the point now where it feels like a complete lack of imagination of the part of scouting/recruitment and Slade. Given that we're looking at loan players, surely it'd be better to have 2-3 lined up in case something goes wrong or teams don't want to let the players go. Is Thompson so peerless that we must get him and only him?
The whole thing feels quite amateur to me, and if we're struggling to at least identify British players for the English third tier, then what is the point of bringing in an English manager and chief scout? Shouldn't they be showing off the breadth and depth of their knowledge?
Also, the fact that we're looking to finish off our threadbare squad with loans is infuriating given how many players (and how much in wages) have been offloaded this summer. That I cannot blame on those in charge of identifying players.5 -
He knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to cash. 5 bar up, another 4 from Lookman and, as you say, slashed costs. (Slades comments are getting ever more desperate re Lookman). Thin squad forces Slade to put more kids in the shop window.sinceiwasyoung said:Great business dushatalot . 6 million in , 1 million out plus savings on wages of smaller squad .

With dodgy cross-border transfer pricing, differences in capital gains laws between Belgium and the UK, write offs and building development ideas, he's well on the way to getting his money back.0 -

Did I just read Slade saying some clubs are being very protective of letting their plsyers go? Well there's a startling thought. Maybe we wouldn't be in the position of having to get difficult signings over the line in the next 15 hours if someone had done the protective thing with our squad. Truely pathetic.21

So much for all the rubbish Slade has been coming out with about players arriving in the next two days blah blah blah.2

Let's be patient and see what happens.
Dr Kish disagrees with Red Henry about Fox.
Thompson might still come.
Just as we keen/desperate to recruit a couple so will other clubs be eager to get fringe players out the door for experience or to save money.
Imagine we'll be offered a lot of players today, some we don't want, some we can't afford and maybe some who are just right.
It's all just speculation until it's on the OS.
Enjoy.4 -
Paddy McCarthy in the stands at the Valley last night I'm told.
You can never have too many centre halves.14 -

Has Paddy been released by Palace?
Wonder if he was just taking in a game/scouting/watching a relative?0 -
Can't even cling to the hope he was there to sign for soton u237

I refuse to allow my hopes to rise today. It's not the Charlton way.0

Happy deadline day, or as charlton fans call it, wednesday....23

I thought Paddy McCarthy had retired?
Glad that Declan Rudd cant be recalled as John Ruddy appears to join Sunderland today... Might put a dent in our hopes if we want to sign him on a Free Transfer next summer1 -
So five or six in today yeah Brussel?1

Jeff Hendrick is currently having a Medical @ Burnley... Could pave the way for us to sign their Midfielder?1

Pretty sure McCarthy has retired1
