    One of the issues might be that now Thomas has signed, sealed, delivered...prices might go up...
    I'm still puzzled as to what's holding up the Matthews signing.
    Probably Mathews agent, still waiting for a Championship team to come in for him 

    He now has a backstop if he doesnt get a champo move, Charlton are good for the money. 
    Call the agents bluff- sign for us by Wednesday or we are on to pastures new. 
    With the way the economy is going there will be plenty of players scrambling for spaces in the last weeks of the window.

    Having played three cup games already, it feels like we are further into our season than we are. We are just three league games in with a win under our belts using a team which should be doing a bit better. 

    I think our signings so far (on paper) look alright, it is now a question of whether having lined up a number of players on our pre-Sandgaard ownership LB and SG have those players still available to them and want them or whether they have better players in their sights for more £s? Hopefully the latter. If it takes a week or so more to bring the quality in that we will need to have a right go at promotion this season, then I am happy to wait. I had not heard of most of the players that worked well for us on the pitch over the last few years (T*ylor, Sarr and Bauer to name but a few), but given a bit of support SG and LB have proven that they can unearth some pretty decent players. All that said, I do hope Matthews is persuaded to commit, as he impressed last season, let alone what he could do this...

    I think the players Bowyer and Gallen had lined up would be good enough to see us pushing at the right end of the table.  The 5 that have already come in look that way tbh. 

    Maybe Thomas would be willing to fund a "cherry on the cake signing" if Bowyer convinced him it would make a different.

    I refuse to use the M word.

    I wonder if it's possible our targets have now changed given we now presumably have a budget to work with.

    Exciting times being a Charlton fan. 
    Know you’re being sarcastic but looking for youngsters in non-league is something that should continue no matter how much our owner at the time is looking to invest. Pope, Aribo and Lookman all came from non-league and would have cost us very little over the course of their contracts.

    Doesn't sound like there is set to be any signings at Charlton today. Obviously work going on behind scenes to line things up.

    The trialist in action for the Addicks this afternoon is Ruben Carvalho, who had been with Aylesbury United.

    No idea who this kid is but surely we are now in a position to aim higher than a player who was at a team in Div One Central of the Southern League?!

    We have had plenty of them, form non league, the champions league and everywhere inbetween.

    A centre back trialist called Taylor. 

    Is that Steven?

    the transfer target list before the Takeover would have been a blank sheet of paper. Bowyer would have spoken to TS a few weeks ago and come up with a list based on that conversation. The biggest problem is how many of the 7 have now gone elsewhere

    Greenwich born, lived there for "weeks" before moving to the North East.  Went to Valley Gardens Middle School (its a sign I tell you) more shocking than that is he is only 34!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

    I have no idea how good he is now, I don't think I have seen him at all since he left Newcastle.

    There are many players released from league clubs. Many even drop out of the league altogether. However, some when they are signed by another league club and go on to make successful careers. One example is a certain Jamie Vardy.....

    If it is him then no harm in getting minutes with the U23's Could he be registered to play against Brighton Wednesday? 

    I would take him or Lynch as cover but not as first choice.

    I really doubt that we would be signing Steven Taylor to be a first team player.

    the guy played for Newcastle with bowyer and they might be mates, he is also from Greenwich and is looking to move home.  He might have called bowyer and bowyer night have told him he can come and train with us, But if offered a deal he will be back up to the back ups with limited game time, he might do some coaching with the u-18’s to get around salary caps. If he is signed on this basis then fairly low risk, if signed to play then I agree, basement shopping list

    A couple  of thoughts: We desperately need a midfielder who can score goals. Maddison is that sort of player. I am still scratching my head thinking about all the chances Bowyer said our strikers missed yesterday. Washington early doors yes. Then we are talking about half chances at best.

    What is this snobbery about taking youngsters from non league? He’s clearly one for the u23’s and a very talented lad by the looks of it 
    Nick Pope, Lookman & Aribo all turned out alright.

    Whatever happened to Diego Poyet? Was so good in his first spell. 
    Chased the momey and went to sit on West Ham's bench for 2 years
    I get that. But the ability must still be there somewhere. 
    He's into body building now, he was playing in South America for a while, and then I think Cyprus.

    It’s not like the current and reigning top scorer in the best league in the world has come from non league or anything is it..

    I appreciate the fact that we need to add numbers to the defence along with a decent striker but also there is imo an urgent need for a creative midfielder, I just dont get the whole JW thing, he cant seem to last more that 30 mins of a game and even when he is on the pitch he imo runs around in circles falling over alot, he doesnt seem to create much other than free kicks awarded when he takes a tumble
