    Think Sorba would have been a better bet than Smyth, but what's done is done & I doubt we will be going back in for him come January. 
    Course you do. Whatever is the opposite option of what we do must be the better option.
    Not allowed an opinion now am I  ????
    Sorry golfie but if we signed an unproven non-league nobody over Paul Smyth, who won Supporters Young Player of the Year in the Championship, was part of a league one promotion-winning side last year, and was wanted by LB & SG for the past three transfer windows, you would 100% be frothing at the mouth
    To be fair, I'd have probably been more excited by the signing of Sorba than Smyth

    A permanent signing, rather than relying on loanees for a start, and with non league players there's always the thought of discovering a gem, whereas Smyth is a known quantity in terms of his league form

    To be honest I'm slightly puzzled that LB & SG were so excited by Smyth that they wanted to sign him when we were in the Championship, when QPR didn't think he was good enough at that level
    Bit of a difference between being excited or thinking one is a "a better bet" though. 

    I suppose LB & SG did think he was good enough. A bit like when we picked up Danny Mills from Norwich reserves. Or Kermorgant from Leicester. Can't always go by what other clubs think. 
    He'd played 70 odd games for them in two years. 
    But at the time we signed him he couldn't get in their first team & was playing left wing for the reserves
    But only because of an argument with the manager. Not because of his form.

    Until January with the option to extend to the end of the season
  • While I think we're a striker light, I'd rather wait until January to poach someone "hot" from another club, rather than take an unfit free agent.

    Is Hiwula the free agent striker @Redhenry was talking about a few days ago?

    John Bostock? Adam Matthews? Can anyone think of any others who might’ve been on our radar or list of targets before?

    Is Bostock a free agent or is he still contracted to Toulouse?

    A RB makes the most sense really or another CB if Deji is going to be used at RB

    Well we've got four... I dont think a Free Transfer Striker is going to be the answer at this stage

    Kieron Freeman....28 year old right back released by Sheffield United, only really played in the cups last season.
    Most importantly......capped by Wales!

    Not ITK. Just one I thought we may have looked at before we signed Gunter

    It'll be another CB.

    I don't see the point in signing someone for the sake of it. I'd rather we left the budget in for January and make a good signing then. I guess a CB on a short term deal until Jan could work.

    This was my thinking. We need someone to be able to deputise should Inniss or Famewo get injured before Oshilaja and Pearce are back. 


  • Someone to cover CB/RB would be handy at the moment with Pearce and Deji injured

    Could be Matthew Connolly. I know he was linked before and with Gallen asking Bowyer makes sense as they were at QPR together.

    Were we linked with Ryan Shotton before?
    CB that has played RB, released by Middlesbrough.

    We really do need another RB or CB in so I hope that's what we're looking at. We have to remember that we're Charlton; Pearce hasn't started the season, we crippled Gilbey within a couple of games, and the way Bowyer is describing Deji's injury I don't see him coming back any time soon. That leaves us with one RB, and two CBs. Add to that the fact that both Gunter and Inniss were signed late and haven't had a full pre-season, that makes them very susceptible to picking up injuries, as we saw with Maddison. As good as our back line looks at the moment we'll be singing a very different tune if one of them gets hurt for any amount of time at all. If we can get one more in there we'll have two in every position and we'll be looking decent.

    Far be it from me to disagree with Bow, but I would still make the recruitment of a pacey goalscorer my top priority. Of course, if there simply are none available that are good enough and affordable, then ok.

    Would like us to wait till January, if any injuries come along we could then sign to keep us strong for the final push

    The problem u have with frees atm, is convincing players to sign for 2.5 bags when they have been on min 7
    2.5 bags is still better than nothing. 
    If they are out of contract  then that is probably all they will get offered.

    Personally I don’t think we need anyone but if we did I say RB or RCB, as Oshilaja is currently cover for both positions.

    May as well call a truce and get Solly back, we could do a lot worse.
