Magennis turns down contract offer!!! (Ed. Page 9 signs new contract)

I still believe we should have got David Ball. He was the best available striker this window and he was a free. Or we could have got Billy Waters, who was picked up for almost nothing, as well.
PS- maybe we can make a move for Matt Godden?
PSS- or George Thomas, who has scored some screamers the last year, from Coventry. He wants to leave and it would only cost $500k as a development fee to get him. He is 20 wth big upside.2 -
And you're surprised, SHG ?ShootersHillGuru said:I've no special knowledge here but it seems we've left things a little late in negotiating with Josh ? We heard for weeks and weeks of an offer on the table for Ricky Holmes and yet we've left it dangerously late in talking with Magennis or has the Holmes situation just eclipsed the Macgennis one ? The fact this has just emerged leads me to think we havnt been speaking with him that long.
If JM really wants out and won't sign an extension then we need to sell him now. His January value will be much much less. Another couple of weeks talking to him, his agent and possibly other interested clubs will not leave enough time to get in his replacement. That will effectively end our season before it starts. Can you really see Duchatelet spending what's required on a replacement without Macgennis already being out the door. In any case finding and signing said replacement won't be simple and clubs will have us over a barrel.
I'm not going to criticise the club without the full picture being available but it does look like another management fuck up.
"Multifunctional" - yet another word that fails to make the Belgian dictionary.1 -
Remember it well. What a night! We played La Gantoise around that time as well. I think we beat them too.GlassHalfFull said:

I was there. Apoel had played Arsenal one or two days before and managed a creditable draw. '66-67 was not a vintage season for Charlton but against Apoel they went on the rampage. Look at who scored - great names all ....0 -

Did you see him after his injury v Millwall?AFKABartram said:Admittedly only seen him a few times, but I've been impressed with what I've seen. Surprised that those who've seen him more seem to rate him less

'67 ? Blimey earlier than I thought ! Oh well as I said in my original post my memory isn't what it was. Also thought they played the arse after us. At least I remembered the score correctly.GlassHalfFull said:

I guess this info was in a Charlton handbook as can't imagine you counted 3461

I'd like Thomas, but think he's more of an attacking midfielder, as was Ball.NapaAddick said:I still believe we should have got David Ball. He was the best available striker this window and he was a free. Or we could have got Billy Waters, who was picked up for almost nothing, as well.

Billy Waters wasn't the answer, he's a decent enough player but wouldn't score anymore than Novak or even KAG IMO. Godden had a good season, albeit league below.
In fairness, it is not easy signing a striker who will score goals. We have had some in the past, but we have also had players on paper who should have done it but didn't. Nobody could really criticize the signing of Ajose, I think most of us expected him to score goals, it didn't work out.
Bogle would do the job I reckon, but surely he's going to the Championship.0 -

26 Oct 65 CAFC 4-2 ARA La Gantoise Glover, Haydock, Saunders, Kenning Att 7673
Both teams produced some fabulous football at times. Superb first half from La Gantoise but Charlton really clicked in the second half and were deserving winners. Wonderful goals, especially Ronnie Saunders'.
I was there. Home and Away records a second match against La Gantoise on 12 Aug 67 which I cannot recall at all. Charlton won 2-1 (Went and Firmani).

I agree on Ball, but I believe he's spent his entire career oop north and I'm not sure he was too interested in moving.NapaAddick said:I still believe we should have got David Ball.

This. He seems like a lovely, articulate, hard working, down to earth man. It makes me a happier person knowing that he's not throwing his toys out, simply trying to get a deal on par with some of the top earners at the club, and rightfully so in my opinion.seth plum said:I would like him to stay, and also for a credible addition in his position with a new signing.
I would be glad to hear Josh is not kicking off, but being measured and orderly in his negotiations, because I find him to be one of the most likeable players we have had for years.3 -

A small bit of good news then in this striker crisis!1
-
Good news but doesn't really solve anything. Just means we'll be left with 1 striker at the end of the window rather than none.4

Great news. Magennis wanted to sign a new contract because we are an ambitious club, wow.Scoham said:0 -
Well if he can stay fit all season we might do ok!0

Thank fuck. I've just bought a Magennis shirt with hopes that he'd extend6

Annoys me how he mentioned that Shit bag Meire in playing an important part. In reality , she couldn't run a bath .1

Good news. I like big Josh0

Excellent news.0

Excellent news and another important part of the rebuild. I would say most of the players we'd rather have let leave have now gone and most of the ones we'd rather stayed have committed to the club.
More ins needed, but Robinson says he's trying to get them in and so far he's been true to his word with transfers, even if some have taken longer than would have been ideal, so I am cautiously optimistic the deals will get done.
Still, with this lot, seeing is very much believing and question marks remain on whether or not the striking squad will be expanded (with or without Novak) and if Konsa will be here in September. It's been probably the best transfer window under this regime but it needs to be better still before we can call it a good one.3 -
Good news.
Shame that we need two more strikers though, so can't be overly happy.0
