Hopefully it’s because our budget has had a significant change and we’re now looking at better players.SouthWest_Addicks said:7 -

Sounds like Olly is done for this evening going by his recent tweet so lets sit back, relax and enjoy what we've been spoilt with today!!5

With so many clubs in financial turmoil right now, I really think we could hoover up some top class talent from clubs in and around us.3

What are we going to do with 22 goalkeepers?Chris_from_Sidcup said:
In an ideal world yes but it depends on the salary cap. No idea how we're fixed but if things get a bit tight then having players like Lynch/Deji who can cover 2 positions might be the way to go.Scoham said:
We were linked with that young Arsenal left back, I'll be very surprised if Bowyer's not aiming for at least two players per position. We need balance and depth throughout the squad, not centre backs playing at full back as soon as we get an injury or suspension.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
Agree with that. Was saying that i don't think we'll sign another LB as Purrington is ok at this level and then Lynch (who looks likely to sign) can cover there as well. But i agree we'd need another CB.cafcfan1990 said:
I’d like a better CB then Lynch, one who is right footed.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Hope we make a few more signings than those seven to be honest...CH4RLTON said:We need a centre half and a right back ASAP , hopefully Joel Lynch And Adams Matthews. Then Im guessing , Ben Watson will come in to bolster the midfield. We need one more striker so I'm guessing that could be Rocket Ronnie, the other 2 or 3 will be Premier loans im guessing.
2x RBs - One being Matthews, the other I'd happily have as an Andy Hughes type player
1x LB - Again same as Hughes but then there is that Arsenal lad mentioned
2x CBs - Joel Lynch and one other
1x Striker - Ronnie Schwartz as allows Davison to go on loan
3x CMs - Allows the likes of Vennings to focus on U23s, maybe a loan, just strengthens us there, Ben Watson will be one
1x Winger - Maybe, if we're going to persist with playing 4-3-3
Can't see us signing 2 RB's as once we sign Matthews, we also have Barker and Deji who can cover there.
Lynch is a CB who can also cover at LB so we may stick with him and Purrington.
Not convinced we need 3 more CMs. That's probably the position we're most covered. If we get Watson then with Pratley, Morgan, JFC, Gilbey and Levitt that's 6 players for 3 midfield positions.
Would expect our first choice XI to look something like this once Pearce is fit and that's even without any more signings beyond those currently rumoured.
Amos, Matthews, Lynch, Pearce, Purrington, Pratley, Watson, Gilbey, Doughty, Washington, Schwarz. That's a strong league one team.Agree on CMs, definitely don’t need another one after Watson, you missed Lapslie so we actually have 7.
Obviously have 22 decent players for each position is preferable though.

Of course it is... He's not joining us!!SouthWest_Addicks said:

Left back , 2x centre backs , Matthews and 2 more strikers? Or is that greedy ?1

Pratley is 35 probably fittest player on our booksRedrobo said:
Maybe not, but what a player to have in your squad.Red_Chester said:Eyebrow raiser Ben Watson...hmmm 35 not massive eyebrow mover for me3 -
My positivity about Lynch was due partly to the fact he is left footed centre back and they are rare . I saw him as a stop gap for Pearce . QPR fans have not given him good reviews when I went on one of their Forums . They said ( like Danny Mills ) he liked a Xmas suspension
If there are better options with an increased budget I am happy , but equally if he signed it wouldn't be a bad signing in L1 . I suspect Wycombe might be interested .0 - Sponsored links:

Wouldn’t surprise me if TS has told Olly to go get some rest, while he goes on a 36 hrs without sleep marathon, announcing new signings over the next 12 hours. Certainly looks like a bunch are still very much in the mix.ForeverAddickted said:Sounds like Olly is done for this evening going by his recent tweet so lets sit back, relax and enjoy what we've been spoilt with today!!
Adam Matthews is my big hope for Sunday. We can cope elsewhere across the pitch.10 -
Probably Roger Johnsonlkillerandflash said:

I just don't see Bowyer and Gallen using their budget in that way, especially after the injury problems we've had in the last few years.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Loaning u21 Prem playerslike Levitt is one way around it as they won't count towards the salary cap, so I expect we'll see at least a couple more come in.

I would hope Matthews & the Danish striker before midday tomorrow. Lynch may have just had enough of waiting around, had another offer earlier in the week & had to take it. Can't blame him really8
-
I'm hoping the next two will be centre backs. That's what we need most urgently.0
-
Definitely, I don’t think anymore than 3 will count towards the cap, maybe Matthews, a CB and Striker. Then another couple of defenders and a winger on loan.Scoham said:

Chris Gunter could be a decent shout, plays either side so him, Purrington and Matthews completes the set with Deji, Doughty and Lapslie as cover.1

Jazz Richards is free at the moment if we want an alternative Welsh RB1

I did wonder about Jordan Spence as a right back / centre back. Would have been at West Ham when Bowyer was.0

I imagine we've signed at least one other player today, but they'll be announced tomorrow. I can't imagine us actually doing the paperwork and interviews tomorrow on a day when office staff (Chris P, Olly etc) wouldn't have expected to be working6

Isn't it exciting that when we now get linked with a decent player, there is a chance we might actually sign them!20

Could do with Grant being sold to get a nice sell on fee to boost the budget and it won't be going to ESI16

In addition to Ben Watson. Announce one today, one or two tomorrow morningaddick1956 said:

I really don’t think budget will be an issue. We’re in the position that the most we could offer is about 4k a week. I don’t know of many players who would command a high transfer fee but then be on 4k.BigRedEvil said:Could do with Grant being sold to get a nice sell on fee to boost the budget and it won't be going to ESI1 -

Their success is your future.
It is also what you do and should be proud to do.
Money gets you up in the morning, pride makes you do a good job.0 -
According to sky WBA have offered a loan with an obligation to buy so any potential sell on would be through the door early next summer if Huddersfield acceptBigRedEvil said:Could do with Grant being sold to get a nice sell on fee to boost the budget and it won't be going to ESI0 -
