Just had a quick look, could be teasing but she does follow us

True but they either aren't good enough as we have set our sights higher or they wouldn't fit into our style of playing.eaststandmike said:

The conversation looks genuine but is she on a wind up? Who knows.2

You can be content with the players who have arrived so far and know the side needs more signings in the next 4 weeks. Being content doesn’t mean you don’t want any further players to join.eaststandmike said:
I am not naming names but some who said the above seem very content with our transfer business so far and are confident of a top 6 finish.Cafc43v3r said:
It's not the same people though is it....eaststandmike said:The thing that makes me laugh is a lot of posters on here were saying last season they have no connection with the squad/players/team, they can all fuck off, they can do one, not fit to wear the shirt and we need a total clear out.
We are essentially starting the season with the same squad/team/players apart from a few minimal changes and promotion to The Championship is on the horizon.7 -

Well, the midfield is more dynamic. I think that is a genuine positive. It just hasn't got any goals in it based on any evidence you care to look at. I think we could get 20 plus from Stockley, 10 to 12 from Washington and 5 or 6 from DJ. If we are generous and make that 43. To beat our 70 goals last season, we need to find another 27. For automatic promotion, add another 10 to 12 based on the goals generally scored when achieving it.
If Innis stays fit, maybe 5. Purrington and Gunter 1 each, Gilbey could get 8, JFK 2, Davison 5, Morgan 3, Dobson 2 and Clare 3. So optimistically, which the above numbers are, in and around last season and roughly an Aneke short of automatic promotion. So hopefully that will be addressed. But we might need an Aneke and a half based on my optimism which was designed to create a best case scenario.0 -
Wouldn't it be awkward if she thought he was playing for Charlton this whole time lmao (thinking cafc was Charlton not Crewe)ButtleJR said:

It's Instagram mate, but yeah I hope she's not on a wind up. Would really give us a boost with us having an out and out winger on the left rather than Washo.LargeAddick said:

Totally agree with the left back situation, not on Washington as he's likely to play a lot more at LW than as a striker this season. At the moment, I'm not 100% convinced he can be effective there, but that's where he's going to be playing so I'll judge later. So in terms of the way Adkins is viewing us this season, he's not out of position.supaclive said:
Again answer the question.cafcfan1990 said:
Washington is very likely to play down the wing in a 433 this season so not sure the lack of a left midfielder is a major issue. I would have liked another defender and winger in time for Saturday though admittedly. I think the CB, CM, another winger and striker can wait a week or two, but disappointed we have (so far) failed to add another two.supaclive said:
Because I don't care about them, I can still rate them!Cafc43v3r said:
If you don't care about other clubs how can you rate our squad?supaclive said:Because other clubs have incomplete squads that's ok is it?
I want us to WIN this league so I want us to have the best squad.
Currently we don't.
I genuinely don't care about other clubs. Our owner made strong comments at the end of last season and I trust him and are glad we have him.
But we don't have a fit left back and NO left midfielder.
Totally unbalanced. I'm not saying our squad should be finished by now but come on now. We've needed both these positions in cover and first choice since our last two loanees in those positions left!
What are you comparing it to? Powell's, Bowyer's, Curbishley's, Man City, Peps Barca, Brazil 1970?
Its not a pub league, but we don't have a pub team.
You completely avoid my point about the lack of any fit or signed left sided players.
Or do you only care to answer the parts that are easy to have an opinion on?
Does anybody really think we should be starting the season with no left back and no left midfielder?
Do you think we should be starting the season with Gunther at left back and Washington, out of position, as our only real option to play left hand side?1 -
Ok I stand corrected on that one, but reading his history he was a kid without a club, and his father introduced him to Steve Avory. It's not as if they chose Charlton because they thought there was a pathway to the first teamElliotCAFC said:

On a brief visit to Twitter earlier on this evening, Darren Moore was trending as Sheffield Wednesday fans were delighted with the players he'd brought in this summereaststandmike said:
Why do people keep saying this, the BBC reports on numerous transfers in League 1 every day, below is a snap shot of the last five days and other weeks have been just as busy.Cafc43v3r said:
No of course, not the left back position needs re-enforcement, ideally better than Purrington to be honest. The left sided forward is also a concern, as to is another center back and a striker.supaclive said:

But it's not like Washington is awful in that position and Gunter can certainly do a job there for a few games, and hopefully that's all it is.
The lack of recruitment is a concern across the whole divison.
Do I think our squad is good enough for the season? No. Do I think our team can beat Sheffield Wednesday? Absolutely. Do you think we aren't trying to address out left sided problem?

Add Pope and Lookman who both joined around the 16 mark after Pope was released by Ipswich and Lookman had the your too small claim which is the normal excuse for skillful forward who are still small at 14 and 15. When joining at 16 all of the lads above would have been sold that dream if they progressed that the 1st team was a reality.
I'm seeing close up a lad released by Cafc after 5 years with the "too small" claim. 9-14 in our academy and now at just 18 playing in men's football at Step 5 (SCEFL) his first season in men's football(now 5ft 9) with great feet as an attacking midfielder who scored goals and assists and has started so well Charlton are monitoring again but they are not alone. Green and Haynes came back but had already got back into the League.
Steve Avory said on Zoom that the aim is the lads have a good education and either progress to Cafc 1st team or are given a pro contract somewhere else. Some higher up the food chain and some lower. I doubt he said food chain but you get my drift.

Oh for fucks sake. It's like a party for kids with ADHD and someone arranged a delivery of doughnuts. Every day. For 3 months.13

@soapboxsam I think Nick Pope was released by Ipswich at 16 and went to Bury Town (St Edmunds) and into their first team from whom we signed him aged 19 in 2011.2
