I bumped into Bellerin in Haggerston and asked him if he knew of anyone from Arsenal coming to Charlton on loan, he said he can’t say but said that Charlton is always spoke about well at Arsenal and everyone who has been on loan at us always comes back better!
Not anything we didn’t already know but good to know we are held in high regard even by there first team players17 -

Roland is the enemy0 -
Baldock is a loan deal apparently, so he won’t need a pay cut. That’s according to Cawley
Not sure why he didn’t play much last year, but if you base his goals by his starts it’s 1 in 3
id have him as an option.4 -
As rumours go we know we are interested in Baldock on loan, Bielik on loan, Cullen on loan. We know we are interested in bringing in Williams on a permanent deal. We also know Bowyer has said he wants a minimum of 6 players before the window shuts but hopes to get 7 more through the door.
Bowyer and Gallen will get in players, whether that’s what we need or the amount that we need, we are yet to see. But I am confident in their abilities and we should credit them for their work and patience in what is extremely difficult times, in an extremely competitive league, where the gap is huge between the clubs relegated from the Premier League, and ones promoted or struggling down near the bottom.13 -
Bowyer may WANT 6 players... but that is not the same as GETTING 6 players. Was it just last year (with Bowyer/Gallen) in the season we did not even have enough players to hold practice? Lee may want 6, but in the end Rat, not Bowyer nor Steve, decides whether we actually GET them. And, of course, I don't trust Rat to ever do the right thing. I'll believe it when I see it and not one second before.

It's not just whether we get another 6-7 but the quality of those we do get.
Spanners out spending us on proven championship players.3 -
Anfernee wants to play for Charlton in the Champ next season, just hope he gets a decent pay rise, he's earning peanuts atm.
Thanks @Henry Irving. @Braziliance, I pass on what I hear, for example we made a contract offer to Josh Morris, it was 1500 a week less than Fleetwood offered. I said Bowyer liked and wanted to sign him, I didn't say he was signing for us.27 -
@Redhenry do you think Fleetwood outbid us on wages for Morris because they wanted him in the first team? Would Bowyer have seen Morris as a first team player or a squad player? Just wondering if you feel the 1500 a week less would be because he wouldn't be a guaranteed first team player with us maybe? Or maybe he wanted to stay up north? I'd be surprised if we can't compete with Fleetwood for wages so interested if you have any further insight.Redhenry said:Anfernee wants to play for Charlton in the Champ next season, just hope he gets a decent pay rise, he's earning peanuts atm.

I’m not surprised we can’t compete with Fleetwood on wages. We have already been told by Bowyer that we have the lowest budget in the Championship.MartinCAFC said:

Our wages this coming year are best estimated at £10-12M. Reading is a mid-wage club last year in the Championship and look at what they pay. Peanuts does not even begin to describe our situation.

I don't know, obviously money was a factor. We approached him last season and were very keen, but then offered a miserly contract.0
-
I get that we have the lowest budget in The Championship but we still had a good budget last year in League One, surely higher than Fleetwood's last year. I know some teams in League One like Sunderland and Portsmouth will probably have bigger budgets than us which I get but I just wouldn't have bracketed Fleetwood a non-league team not too long ago amongst the big hitters in League One hence the question.LargeAddick said:

Fleetwood spent a bit of cash this window, outside bet for promotion1

Rather than our low wage offer, do you think Morris was swayed to sign for Fleetwood because he’s from up that way and because he’s been on loan there before so knows the club @Redhenry?Redhenry said:Anfernee wants to play for Charlton in the Champ next season, just hope he gets a decent pay rise, he's earning peanuts atm.

Have to wonder whats going on with the Joey Barton / Barnsley issueRedhenry said:Fleetwood spent a bit of cash this window, outside bet for promotion
Seems to have gone very quiet in that regard what with Fleetwood and Joey concentrating on the season ahead now0 -
The CEO was the driver trying to get Barton away from the Police!2

I get someone like Morris may not be loaded but assuming we offered £2.5k pw and Fleetwood £4k it still says something about him that he chose wages over higher level football and a bigger club imo.2

Or maybe he chose to stay closer to home as he’s a family orientated person?Athletico Charlton said:I get someone like Morris may not be loaded but assuming we offered £2.5k pw and Fleetwood £4k it still says something about him that he chose wages over higher level football and a bigger club imo.1 - Sponsored links:

Would you work at a "bigger" company for £130,000/year when a smaller company is offering you £208,000/year and you know your career will be over in 4-7 years? I would not. That extra £78,000/year can make a huge day to day difference in lifestyle.Athletico Charlton said:I get someone like Morris may not be loaded but assuming we offered £2.5k pw and Fleetwood £4k it still says something about him that he chose wages over higher level football and a bigger club imo.

To be fair, the bloke is also 28 in September, has spent his career in the lower leagues and, if the differential of £75,000 p.a. is accurate (or thereabouts), it’s hardly something he can turn his nose up, particularly given the cost of renting in the south east, not to mention any familial disruption.JoshAddick said:

Accepting a sub-market wage also benchmarks a player going forward in terms of future contract offers, so it’s hardly a one-off hit.4 -
No way Bielik is coming back. Way out of our league and he has told Arsenal to either play him or transfer him.

Transfers are always about more than money. Taylor signed for less money than Mackems offered because clauses in contract seemed out of order. I'd guess JW lost money signing for us than same team for comfort issues. Some players just want to play rather than gather splinters. KAG I'd guess money was secondary to Prem games. He could earn more for Derby, Leeds, W Brom.2

No way is Bielik coming back.
if ac Milan are interested then there’s others bigger than us who will buy him.
it could also be an agent ploy to make sure he’s in the Arsenal 1st team squad2 -

A thing that often gets forgotten, if you own a house in say Yorkshire, that's worth £400k, the equivalent house with in a reasonable drive to our training ground is likely to set you back about £1 million. Even if you rent yours out and rent your likely to be £1000s of pounds worse off a month. It wouldn't supprise me if players signed for Northern clubs for less than we could offer. Remember, on the whole, we aren't in for players that are set for life.4

He's a northern lad, never played for a club in the south, has already been at Fleetwood on loan twice, is 28 soon and his career is likely to go down rather than up.Athletico Charlton said:I get someone like Morris may not be loaded but assuming we offered £2.5k pw and Fleetwood £4k it still says something about him that he chose wages over higher level football and a bigger club imo.
So even taking those non-monetary factors into account, it's probably enough to make him choose Fleetwood. But then to add in an extra 78k wages a year, it would make a huge difference to a lower league player.4
