     Any rumours floating about?  Incoming ones?!
    Like Curbs, Bows and Gallen doing their deals in secret.

    So secret even the transfer targets don't know yet. :smile:

    Telling that they are saying he's not transfer listed.

    So appears they are happy to keep him until the summer if no one offers enough.

    Come February they may feel that they can get him to sign another deal with us anyway.

    As long as this is all OK with Bowyer then fine. I want to keep Taylor, as he proven at this level and this club but this is a negotiation. It could still go one of three ways IMHO. Sold now, moves on free in summer, signs new deal with us. No idea which it will be.
    As we all keep saying, if it fits Bow and Gallen's plans and back up plans, then fine. But I would entirely prefer Lyle stayed until the end of season.

    After that I think he'll re-sign if we're safe and strengthening.

    Someone has been reading the "January 2020 transfer rumours" thread on Charlton Life.

    I doubt it's come from the club ...... they like to operate under the radar these days, not revealing transfer targets.


  • Well the Blackpool rumour has come from Cawley a couple of times

    So not difficult to rehash that one

    I read on that Vital Charlton on NewsNow the other day that we are favourites for Eddie Nketiah?

    I think Swansea will trump us, sadly.

    I think Swansea will trump us.

    They are favourites for Rhian Brewster on loan, would they go for both? Would be an excellent addition if we can get him. Hasn't Bowyer also said we are expecting to complete a loan of a striker by this week too? I think we have a real possibility

    I hope you are right, Red_James, but Bristol City are also in with a shout.

    I think he said a striker this week but dont think he said if it would be a loan or permanent signing. Fingers crossed for both

    Bowyer said he was hoping to sign two players this week.
  • The last Frenchman who took a shit penalty before they joint us turned out alright so let's hope for the same again
  • They don't seem overly fussed over on the Blackpool forum..

    Would be a good signing that. I think he has similar attributes to Toney and is much cheaper so definitely worth a go.

    Not seen a lot of him but his stats speak for themselves.

    If we've withdrawn it, that tells me we believe we can use the money from his sale to buy better and younger.
    Fingers crossed money towards getting Cullen
    I feel like a party pooper, but some one with wisdom of how the football world revolves needs to say this.  if we offer 15k to Cullen to sign a 3 year contract at Cafc this would have 100% consenus with fans BUT are there CL members who think that figure would get Josh to sign up even If David Moyes decided to let him go ( I believe West ham want him to stay) Cullen's agent like Taylor's agent, know the figure is higher in most Championship clubs.

    Just feel there's a chasm at the moment between the "Let's chill, we are going to live happily ever after " group and the " what's the difference between Roland and ESI if they sell our main man" group. The truth is  in the middle. We will up our budget but strikers make or break a season, letting Taylor go for nothing in the summer should be first choice if Lyle doesn't sign this 1st offer from ESI. 

    Sorry, Roland name was put in for a bit of comic relief(He is history but his smell lingers)  but you surely get my drift. 

    It's the philosophy of ESI that will become clear very soon if it hasn't already. 31 days in January, and Steve Gallen may need everyone of those days to zoom in on good targets if the budget is still modest.

    A very interesting window awaits even if it's an opaque window which feels a pane at present.

    Just to put on record, and people can shoot me down, and quote me in future if he signs and does well, but I just don’t rate Gnanduillet and think he would struggle in this division. For me there are better options out there that we could get.

    Unlike with Yann , I’m convinced we’ve seen Taylor’s best days.  That said , I’d keep him until his contract expires and say thanks for all he has done, If he doesn’t want to sign a new one.

    Don’t get too excited. A war with Iran will decimate the price of oil, and our lot will be looking at trying to get loanees in from League 2.
    Oil prices going up as a result of Iran but UEA in front line.
    If Iran attack the UAE, we could be called up.

    I'm not overexcited by him either, fine as a squad player which we desperately need, but certainly not a replacement for Lyle

    I think Taylor and his agent decided long ago that he was moving on. His injury was no doubt genuine but since coming back he has perhaps understandably not pushed himself and his thigh strain confirms to me anyway that he is protecting himself. I suspect he has had a gentleman’s agreement somewhere for some time. He’s never put down football roots so he is consistent in that anyway.

    The real question is who we replace him with. Younger and from lower divisions would be a risk given our precarious League position but strikers don’t come cheap do they. We will find out a lot about ESI over the next few weeks. 
    Looked very much like he was saying his farewells as he left the field after the Bristol City game.
  • ESI presumably have tried to make an offer somewhere around what he could have got had he gone to Brentford in the summer, Bow's words "Life Changing money", if someone believes that Taylor can give them what they want to get promoted, he will get "Life Changing money" offered again, if not, he stays and plays out his contract and has another bite at both CAFC and all options are open to him. A game of poker where he hold a very good hand provided he don't get a big injury!  

    For me the big question is how much will we miss him if he goes now, he always brought a lot more than goals to this team!  
  • Rhian Brewster has completed his loan move to Swansea

    I suspect you will get the chance to see if you are right. Think he will deffo bec coming in.

    I trust Gallen and Bowyer's judgement.
