    Not too fussed about Josh Megennnis maybe going. Lovely guy, works so hard. Just misses so many chances. Anyone notice he almost missed the penalty in the Cambridge friendly?

    Not until we have proper replacement. Already short on numbers
    Agree with this. Not particularly fussed on Magennis going but we're already desperately short of numbers, so i don't see how selling a striker to a rival is a good idea.

    If it gives you £300/400k to sign Tom Eaves, it would be good business.
    This is a shout, if Magennis does go then Eaves would be the person I would like to replace him, not out of our reach either surely
    Surely people realise by now that player sales out doesn’t have any relation to bringing people in under Roland.

    Magennis goes out and at best you will get an untested loan in

    Not sure if posted on another thread.

    Doubt we would be in for Ricky
    To be honest, I would still be absolutely gutted if he went to Sunderland or Oxford. If he is available for a loan, why wouldn’t we try and not make sure we do everything we can for him to be back at The Valley.

    I can understand why Oxford want him as Robinson would be dribbling all over the place in the thought of having Ricky back to work with. And I can understand why Sunderland because he’s a top player in League One.

    As said, if he is available, it’s got to be worth looking at bringing him back.
    ffs !!! why do some if you want to keep signing ex players ??? So far its been Cousins, Kermorgant, Poyet and now Holmes.

    Holmes has had his day & I felt we played better after he had left. Maybe his head had been turned but he was half the player last seadon than the one that won POTY the season before......and I don't reckon dropping down a division would help his demeanour either.

    Jeez..........I wonder which ex player is next....Shelvey ?? Jenkinson ?? Sordell ??
    As others have said, Golfie is back! You’ve had your annual positive post the other day aye. Not everything is about wanting to resign ex players, but the fact is Holmes is available and would be one of the best players in this division. Yann left because of the regime and he was incredible for us, so when he left Reading, why wouldn’t you expect Charlton fans to want to have him back. Cousins is a better player than League One and won POTY for us in the Championship, he said previously he wants to come back to Charlton one day, it was a mere mention a while ago. Poyet has talent but has lost his way, he is a free agent who is back in London, people are allowed to say he would improve us if he could rediscover that confidence he had when he broke into the team.

    Saying things like Shelvey, Jenkinson and Sordell is just plain stupid and shows why you don’t understand the reasoning behind each of the previous players that have been mentioned before.

    Who cares if he played for us before? Was you like that with Powell each time he signed? Fact is, Holmes is a top player in League One and is available, he would strengthen us and I know full well he would be welcomed back by the players and staff with open arms. JFC would be over the moon for one. So why can’t you see that for how it is rather than just having a go at people for giving an opinion on an ex player who is available that would improve us?

    I play a lot of football manager excuse me.

    I know we are unlikely to stump up cash for a new player, I'm more hoping this all happens with new ownership

    If Holmes if available on loan AND prepared to come back to L1 it's a no brainer to want to bring him back. At L1 level he's an excellent player, and there would be no problems in settling in etc

    A lot depends on how Holmes feels, whether he'd want to come back or not. He might feel it a bit embarrassing to come back 6 months after leaving etc

    I always thought Rohan Ince was class, very suprised he hasn't got a gig in championship

    Yeah I always felt that way as well, but it seems a combination of injuries and just wrong place wrong time held him back. He's the type of trialist I'd like to see with us, young and hopefully hungry with something to prove.

    I thought Ward looked tidy if unspectacular yesterday. Better than I expected with the ball at his feet, but he and Pearce together represent a real lack of pace. We do need another right footed center back but I feel, no make that hope, that we can do a little better.

    On Magennis, completely agree with @ForeverAddickted, no need to sell him to a division rival. He can play with any of our other forwards and I'm looking forward to seeing him and Igor together as Igor looks best with a big man next to him.

    I still have us short:
    GK
    RB
    LB
    RCB
    Winger x2
    Central midfielder

    Cannot see us bringibg all those in. If Ince works out he could be that central midfielder. I didnt see anything from Dawkins yesterday. Sarr and Dijksteel and/or Marshall as cover at fullback, even though both have done jobs there, doesn't fill me with confidence.

    If we sell Magennis there is no chance that money will be reinvested, it's going to cover operating losses.

    I'm with you @ross1, I'd be sad to see him go. I quite like him and on his day he's an absolute handful.

    We don't need both another RB and CM IMO as Dijksteel is one of those players. Definitely need a CB and winger though which Bowyer realises, otherwise we wouldn't have had Ward and Dawkins on trial.

    A signing in the mould of Pratley is Jason Shackell. Would really like him, think 2 of him Bauer and Pearce would be very very good for this league.

    Assummedly we have a sell on clause for Holmes . If that’s the case we should buy him as the sell on clause taken off the buy price would make him a bargain. Come to think of it we should sell all our players and immediately buy them back. The savings we’d make would be immense.

    Absolutely, his last season was his only good season on paper but he could be a late bloomer. Last season he was strong, good finishing (from the highlights I've seen) and its just another physical presence for us which we need. We have trouble against Gillingham and he is their best player, taking him from them just does us a favour next season while also bagging ourselves one of last season's top scorers. Think it was 17 all comps for him, if Lyle and Eaves were to get the same return this season then we would be up there. All speculation of course as we won't sign him.

    Highly doubt we would have a sell on clause on a 31? Year old. They are normally only on youngsters who have potential to get a lot better and go for lots of money.

    He banged in 18 goals last season so hardly only hard one decent game. He's a good age at 26 and lives locally in Kent.

    We should always be looking to upgrade the team if we can. Magennis will never give us the goals we need from our strikers to get promotion.

    Who do you think we can realistically get as a 'big man who can hold up the ball + score goals' replacement for Magennis that would do better job?

    Eaves is a perfect & realistic target in my opinion.

    This squad is shaping up to be worse than last season's. Ultimately, mid table will be a fantastic result and the end of the season.

    Not sure. Smaller yes, but Lyle Taylor is a step up from Magennis, if the Dulwich match was anything to go by. Pratley gives us (apparently) the steel in midfield that we’ve lacked for so long. Ince may also add something by all accounts.
    We’re definitely very short of cover though. If Solly get injured before the start of the season we’re in trouble. Hopefully they have to be targeting a new RB, although I suspect it’ll be a loan at best.

    My view is Magennis is a much better player than what online Charlton fans generally portray, and why clubs in our league and league above have tried to sign him in the last two windows

    Maybe he’ll get a chance playing alongside Taylor?
    I remember the hat trick he scored when his son was a mascot; that was impressive. But overall, he strikes me as likeable, but pretty mediocre. Good defensively though.

    Eaves could be great.

    Or he could go back to being the player from the season before that scored 4 goals in 40 games at League Two level!

    I'd be more interested in signing the Gills scout that picked him up. A record of 1 goal in every 10 games would never make it past Roland's laptop scouts.

    AFKA, we have been touting Magennis about all summer by advertising his availability to try to sell him. If there really was serious demand for him he would be gone by now but the truth is we can't find a real buyer.

    Bolton will only look at him if all else fails (i.e. their other targets like Wyke) and Peterboro probably offered something derisory like.....'we'll have him as a back up player if your owner is desperate for cash before he buggers off and and will take £100k'.

    I really don't think a host of championship and league one clubs are queuing up with serious interest.

    Still no sign of James Collins (released by West Ham) then?

    Due to a reduced budget we're now going after Joan Collins instead.
    If we get this one over the line, it might herald a new Dynasty of quality signings
    You can (South)fork right off if that's the quality of the puns you're bringing to the table.

    Yes he can be a handful.....but so incredibly inconsistent.
    Gets himself into lots of good scoring positions but sadly, more often than not, fluffs his lines.
    His ‘one on ones’ record with the keeper are pretty dismal too.

    Agree to an extent, I view him as a poor mans Leaburn.

    He’s physically strong but his touch can be poor but players like him excel with the right partner up top with him and wingers who can get over decent crosses into the box ala Robinson & Newton.

    The way we were set up until the back end of last season doesn’t play to his strengths. In the right set up and with better players around him he’s better than 10 goals a season. Maybe not 20 but high teens, in league 1.
