I expected this summer that we'd be signing a lot of the best out of contract players at smaller clubs in L1 or in L2 - "We offered Tom a great contract, but it's really hard to keep players when a big club like Charlton show interest. We wish him all the best."
Which is how we signed the likes of Lyle Taylor, Chuks Aneke and Tom Lockyer
Other than in goal where we did a like for like swap, it hasn't happened - all our other signings have been players under contract
Are there still free agents out there "playing the field" or have we missed out on a lot of them?8 -
Grief. This thread is fucking torture. I try and stay away but something is drawing me back in, every time.
I fully expect to have a face like a slapped arse when the transfer window slams shut, that's Charlron after all, BUT all this cloak and dagger, staying within a "budget" and under the radar bollocks... fucking torture! Right i'm off, back tomorow.18 -

Grown men spending another person's money and throwing keyboard tantrums left right and centre as the other person isn't throwing his money round in a manner which they deem acceptable.This time last year we were on the brink. A very real possibility of going out of business. Sandergaard might not be everyone's cup of tea, but he is well in credit for effectively saving the club from going out of business.He set his stall out very early on and made it clear he would be running things as a business. A business does not burn through a fuck ton of money that it potentially has no hope of recouping.We all know the squad is thin, but the business we have done so far is good. There is no way we won't being additional players in before the window closes.I wish people would stop with the I want it and I want it now bollocks. There are people on this thread who are like a fucking stuck record. Spouting the same shit over and over whilst launching toys round whatever room they are sitting in.The sooner people accept that the club were just about at rock bottom and that unless you get a billionaire coming in with very deep pockets, coming back from that takes time, the better.
Only thing I'd observe that puts a slightly different perspective on things is that Sandgaard didn't come in quietly promising a slow build. We all know that getting established in the Premiership within 5 years is unlikely to begin with a poorer League One squad than missed out on promotion the previous season.
Time will tell, but I'm not sure the frustration is that we're not spending millions but with what seems strikingly obvious: we're missing out on our target players because of financial constraints.
I really wish he'd just talked about a long term plan, getting the foundations in place and getting us challenging in the Championship, than promising top end Premiership within 5 years - because no-one would have any unrealistic expectations on transfer spend.
Tl:Dr - it was Sandgaard who said, I want it and I want it now.
I hate trying to compare us to other clubs & being honest I couldnt give a f**k what other clubs are doing. I just want to get out this league & to do that it's best to be in the top 2 come May next year rather than 3rd to 6th.
You might not "give a f**" what other clubs are doing but that doesn't mean it isn't affecting us.5 -

Sad state of affairs when we lose out to Peterboro with their shitty stadium and donkey field of a pitch.....granted they are in the championship but we should be selling the club as having a very good chance of being there next season1

They’re also expecting to lose CurtisI think we need 5/6 players at least 4 of which need to be first XI quality. I’m reserving judgement until the window closes as I think we’re well short of where we need to be for the playoffs let alone the auto spots at the moment.0 -

Reckon we will still get another 5 bodies in. 1 decent quality starter (left wing), the rest proper "squad meat" of the Bogle and Smyth variety.2

There's 300 posts all blaming Sandgaard for making false promises and not paying over the top transfer fees and wages for average players.
Steve Gallen is sitting on his hands, our squad is not good enough as it stands, nothing will change and we're doomed to struggle.
And 300 posts saying most other clubs in the division are no further adding to their squads than we are, slow market, the Covid effect, etc. And there's still 4 weeks to go until the window slams shut and it'll be all right on the night.
BTW don't miss the oversized pics of Doucher's BBQ.
Nearly forgot ..... there's not actually any rumours.

Dropping points to Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford will put us in catch-up mode already.I’m not keen on this “waiting until 4 weeks into the season so we get them for a bargain basement price” strategy that seems to have emerged.0 -

Under Bowyer AND Roland (with Driesen lurking in the background) we finished 6th and 3rd; with a proper owner top 6 must be the minimum, and to me top 3 is what I'd expect (i.e. getting automatic or just missing out as best of the rest)5 -
New rumour alert - just seen on the u18s thread that Arsenal are meant to be signing our young striker Daniel Kanu.2

RD increased it to £500k/year as part of the ESI deal I believe.0 -
The one player we should hear about this week is Gomes. If he does sign I don't see us bringing in another CM.
My guess is it comes down to budget and value for money. He's probably seen as a left footed CM who could do a job with the hope that JFC will be back later on in the season. We more urgently need a LB and LW, and by the end of the window a RCB. Ideally I'd like one or two on top of that to add more goals and creativity to the squad.
