    Can I be the first to announce that Darren Purse has been having talks.🧐

    CAFC could negotciate with Phillips and come to an arrangement to cancel his contract before the window shuts,Ā  thus making him a free agent.
    Why would we want to do that? - We'd get him off the wages but then we're missing out on a potential fee for him too

    And a sell on clause to try to recoup the monies we would lose on his value due to his contract.

    We also have the January window, if he fails to leave now, there is a chance he could still be sold in January.

    The new Chris Malkin!
    Let’s hope we don’t sign Bradley Allen instead.Ā 
    Sad to say, I do believe we've missed the boat on that one.

    He’s only 49. He’s probably got 15 mins left in him.
    So longer than Aneke?
    Am I the only one who read that as Anelka?


    I'll get me coat.

    Yes you are Bob.

    Am I the only person who when he see's
    the Name Gok Wan reads Go Wank ?

    Sorry, back to the transfers.

    We could, but why are we rejecting fees and then giving him away?
  • We need to do some business now. The story of Charlton in recent years is hanging on for players we don't get.
    Ahh, the old "They really wanted to come to Charlton, but we couldn't quite get the deal over the line."

    We must.have one of those rubber stamp and ink sets,Ā  with an admin worker sat at a desk and Bowyer shouting out, "Next window, next window, next window, next window, next window."
  • Apparently we've just signed Chris gunter on a 2 year dealĀ

    Bowyer was right to cash in on Bonne as he didn't want to be here - he even said his "head was turned" and it was good money.

    Bowyer is right to keep Dillon out of the team - sign a new deal or leave. Plus in Amos we have a keeper that is proven to good enough for this level.

    I think everyone needs to relax a bit. Our deadline is next Friday so Lee and Steve should take their time to bring in the right players for the team and club. Why rush someone in now when they can't play until the 17th anyway!
    I agree.

    However, one thing with getting people through the door earlier, is they get a week or so training with their new teammates, building relationships and working within a system.Ā 

    Would be nice for any of our new signings to hit the ground running and we start getting into form.

    Gunter is a good signing . We are becoming Wales feeder club !Ā

    I can't wait for the day when the incoming players are better than the players leaving.

    Until that happens you keep on dropping.

    Happy with Gunter, there has to be a reason he keeps Mathews out of the Welsh side

    Are we assuming Matthews (who is being kept out of the Wales squad by Gunter) is better than Gunter?

    Surely that's our only way of comparing them is how they perform in the same squad... And Gunter hasn't played in ours but another professional Manager sees Gunter as better than Matthews in the same squad.Ā Ā 

    If Bowyer thinks Gunter is
    1. Better
    and
    2. More affordable
    and
    3. More achievable

    Then I guess IBWT.Ā

    The news brought to you five days ago by me. Am I regarded as ITK now?
    Only if he signs.
    Plus, how do we know if O’Rourke didn’t get the info from your post?
    It came from a very, very good source, who would know. All I said was that Gunter was at the Training Ground and the Valley. I didn’t say he had signed.
    You are only ITK if Michael Morrison signs too...Ā  šŸ˜‚
  • Apparently we've just signed Chris gunter on a 2 year dealĀ 
    Do we have some kind of link up with the Welsh national team?

    We've now had Williams, Lockyer, Matthews, Ledley (albeit not for long) and Levitt. Now about to sign Gunter, can't be coincidence surely. It's just a shame Bale didn't sign.

    Is he going to play up front because as it stands WE NEED SOME FUCKINGĀ  STRIKERSĀ  !!!
    We also need a professional RB. So good if the case.Ā 

    I also want at LEAST 2 FW's and one needs to be an out and out goalscoring striker.Ā

    And we have 11 days to get the right ones.

    Whats the rush we dont have a game until Wigan, 3 possibly 4(if we sign Gunter) players are currently away on international break anyway, get one in before they return(hopefully the perm) so he has a few days to bed in, then get another in(the loan from a pren team) before the deadline

    No rush and we can make sure we get the right players not the wrong players

    Need a RB more.
  • Keep checking in but still no news on Mbappe on 2k per week.

    I suppose the non-international deadline is more likely going to be the "crucial" date for us. The irony of us finally having an owner seemingly willing to spend when the new salary cap has kicked in is a cruel blow. But I'd rather be where we are now than in a non-TS owned world.

    Time for some SG/LB magic.

    Suggested Gunter back in May, do I get a promote if he signs?
  • Chris Gunter may not be a glamorous name, but I would be glad if he did sign. Experienced guy, who is a long-term international with plenty of recent Championship experience, he should be a class above and exactly the kind of player to build a strong League 1 team around.
    I like Matthews too, but if the rumours are true, Bowyer simply prefers Gunter, or at least prefers him at a cap-friendly price. I seem to remember him saying, when we sold Dijksteel, that full back was not a priority position for him, so I cannot see him using excessive cap space there.

    I still shudder at seeing Ledley try and play football at Middlesbrough for 45 mins.

    Although at least Im in the select few who actually did witness this.Ā

    Gunter is 31. Watson 35. Usually I'd be a bit concerned about signing players past their peak. As it is though, it makes sense. A lot of experience to help the youngsters develop, and on relatively short contracts so that we can churn the playing staff and bring in new talent as we progress (hopefully) into and then to the higher reaches of the Championship. But I would still like a couple of other signings to be in the 24-28 age group to balance things out.

    Doubt there's much between Gunter or Matthews other than one being cheaper for the wage cap
