    Is there a released list anywhere? Any other stand out League 1 and 2 players out of contract who we may be after?

    Had a brief look and league 2 doesn’t seem to offer anything. 


    Quite a few well known names going on frees in the championship as well but I don’t think they’re the kind of players Bowyer would want. A few below that I’d say are the pick of the bunch from the Championship and league 1. (Assuming the lists online are accurate)

    Lee Burge

    Ryan Tafazolli

    David Ball

    Adedeji Oshilaja

    Josh McEachran

    Grant Ward

    Paul Coutts

    Mile Jedinak

    Grant Ward is a decent shout and a local lad. Bowyer doesn’t play wingers but be nice to have one in the squad. Robbo used to be criticised for only formation and a 433 could be useful at times. 

    Only issue with Ward is I believe he’s out until October. Although injuries haven’t stopped us before.

    Reading are trying to shift a few fringe players to reduce their wage bill, one being Baldock. He'd have to lower his wages and I wonder if we can afford the fee (though as Reading want shot of him that will reduce the fee a bit perhaps)

    Not sure we'll be seeing either Bielik or Cullen this year think both players will be sold by there respective clubs and for a lot more than we can afford
    Both clubs would be stupid to sell this summer, neither Arsenal or West Ham are desperate for cash and 1 good season in League 1 wont make the clubs offer millions and millions.

    Loan to a top Champ or lower prem team, then of they have another good season could sell for a lot more next season
    They’re both in their final year of their contract. WHU and Arse may as well cash in.
    Bielik already said he won’t play for Arsenal u23’ again.
    1st team squad or he’ll consider his options.

    Oshilaja on a free would be a decent acquisition

    one thing concerns me if we sign too many small midfielders (sizeism rears up again) .. obviously it will make us vulnerable from corners/free kicks near the area .. most Champ sides are very adept and accurate with their free kicks and most have some big lumps putting it about in the area .. they will also make life for Phillips as difficult as possible

    This is a concern, however we will have some big boys in there too - Sarr, Lockyer, Taylor, Aneke plus Purrington and Dijk are not small for full backs.

    I wonder why we still haven't signed Oztumer

    Because we haven’t got a answer from Williams don’t think we will afford to sign both 
    Tend to agree that Oztumer and Williams is an either or scenario. Just hope we don’t lose one while waiting for the other.  Suspect Oztumer will be pretty miffed if he thinks we are stalling waiting for Jonny to get a better offer and will look elsewhere.  I’d personally love to have them both given that Jonny is pretty fragile.

    The word from a few “”””””ITK’s””””””” on here was that he’s already signed but because of Bolton’s debacles the announcement is being delayed.

    Doubt that's true.

    Celtic announced a signing from Bolton a few days ago.

    I heard Oztumer could be heading to Malaga with the squad, anyone know if this is true?

    Tbh from what i've seen i'd rather have Oztumer if it an either or scenario - he scores goals which Williams really lacks in his game. Fingers crossed for both though

    well you are wrong, i just saw him in Greenwich park.

    I think both are important, they are similar but different. Oztumer has more of an eye for goal, better passer and good on the deadballs, Williams is just perfect as a super sub because tired legs can't keep up with him. If we were to bring on both with a goal needed we would create chances, both excellent dribblers. Williams tends to take it wide but from what I've seen of Oztumer he plays through the middle, think they would be brilliant at the same time on the pitch

    Pretty sure I read that because Oztumer hasn't been paid for months he can give two weeks notice to Bolton to cancel his contract. Perhaps we have agreed a contract with him but he hasn't yet served that two week period.

    Is he living in the park at the moment? Having a mini Glastonbury it seems

    Maybe you're right. But we must remember Oztumer is under contract at Bolton.

    If his contract is being cancelled, then we must be patient.
    If not, as a player under contract at Bolton, they would want a transfer fee if he was to sign for Charlton.

    We won't want to pay that!

    Theres a player in spain i dont recognise at the end of todays instagram stories. Is it Ocran or someone new?

    Again why is it Oztumer or Williams?

    They may be similar but so are Page and Purrington and both are permanent players playing for the same place in the team and you could probably play Oztumer and Williams both at the same time too.

    It's like two years ago people were saying we would only have two of Reeves, Holmes, Marshall yet we had all of them at the same time.

    If we do sign only one of them then fair enough but I think Bowyer wants both and if we don't sign Williams it's probably because someone else can offer him a far better contract than we can.

    Also if the rumours are true that Oztumer is already a done deal why are we even bothering with having Williams on the training camp to get him fit for someone else to take him?

    People dont half post some shit on here.

    In an absolute ideal world, in my opinion, players for us to bring in would be something like:

    Peter Shilton in his early 30s

    New CB (Possibly Beckenbauer or Moore if he's not available)

    Krystian Bielik (If not at centre back, then in defensive midfield)

    Fat Ronaldo before he was fat

    Harry Kane

    Messi

    Maradona aged 26

    Zico
    Get off your high horse

    You forgot Maldini
    Surely you mean Van Nistelrooy....

    Is that Sarpong-Wiredu or Cummings? They look quite similar
