Signing a triallist two weeks into the trial doesn't feel me with complete joy but he knows the league etc.0

Finally, our marquee signing.DubaiCAFC said:Gomes has signed.. will be announced today1 -
But we don't have youth players ready to play first team football at left back and left midfield.agim said:If we are to see a "marquee signing" before the end of the window I think it'll be in the final few days where we maybe chuck a bit of money at one. I'm expecting Gomes to sign as he's been with us pretty much all pre season and 2/3 loan signings.
Trying to put our business into perspective my conclusion is that TS is happy to invest but in a careful business like manor. Why splash out on a new left winger if he's being told by our coaches a youth player who costs nothing is ready? The world has changed over the last 18 months and the "smaller" clubs are going to squeeze every penny they can out of clubs for their prized possessions. This in turn makes negotiations difficult. I'm my industry our margins are next to nothing at the moment with materials/goods prices rocketing and companies going in low with tenders just to get work. Football is a different ball game but it still is a business, not to us but whether we like it or not it is to TS and it would be any other owner.
I'd love to see us have a Powell style re-build and win the league but that doesn't look like it's going to happen.
That's my point!0 -
It’s been on the OS at least twice since April after she got the gig in the link to the articles I posted for you. WIOTOS is your friend 😉.charltonbob said:
Ah right thanks. I don't do twitter, probably why I haven't seen much about itmart77 said:
She’s on Twitter as @CAFCFanAdviser 👍🏻charltonbob said:
Thanks, so how do you contact the fans advisor ? Again I may have just missed this but I don't remember seeing it anywhere.mart77 said:
Essentially listen to a range of fans views, pass those on to the club or in the most recent case TS, and then feedback to fans what Club says about fan gripes/suggestions. I believe this is the case anyway.charltonbob said:
What exactly does fan advisor do ? I not digging her out I just have no idea & since she was appointed I don't think I've seen anything mentioned.mart77 said:The Fan Adviser has just said ‘watch this space’ on Twitter to some moaning about the lack of signings and poor squad depth. Hopefully positive🤞🏻

Gomes has looked alright in the games he’s played, it’s another body that knows the league I suppose. Not exciting though.6
-
Gomes gives us depth until JFC & Gilbey are fit. It took a long time for Gilbey to get up to speed after his injury at the start of last season. He's had bad luck again this yr with covid....hopefully he starts re-building his fitness soon.
It'll be interesting to see the length of contract given to Gomes. Most likely a year in light of the above.17 -
I'd expect a year for Gomes to just cover , will probably start in the League Cup whenever that game is.2
-
Personally I am not sold on Gomes, but we do need some numbers through the door.1
-
It's an entirely sensible signing given the above. It's not exciting but he is young enough to improve and probably got a bit of a point to prove. Much rather sign him than a older player on the way down.Oh Eddie Youds... said:Gomes gives us depth until JFC & Gilbey are fit.

Also heard a potential loan signing today, don’t have any further details.
We have agreed a deal for Kirk, but had 3 offers on the table. So down to the player now.65 -
Yeah, it's not the kind of signing that's going to make waves but he's still young, can play in a couple of positions in a pinch and has been around the squad for a while now so will know the players and the plan, and won't cost a fortune.Cafc43v3r said:

If you are going to sign people just to make up numbers you could do a lot worse. I'd rather have someone like Gomes to another Pratley or Watson.4 -
With JFC out and Gilbey still recovering, I can't complain with this, rather Gomes than relying on Vennings/Dempsey who are still relatively inexperienced (in this league for Dempsey anyway)3
-
Gomes is decent cover but doesn't improve the first 11. And it still needs improving.7
-
Guess the key with Kirk will be if he features for Crewe tomorrow.0
-
No chance of Kirk coming unless we've installed a transporter. Get the simple things right club!2

27 Days to go

Been reported elsewhere that someone at the club has confirmed we've had two of our top targets agree to sign but we're still yet to agree on fees with their respective clubs.3

Maybe why he missed the last few preseason matches?Henry Irving said:Aaron Henry has said on twitter that he missed the team photo shoot due to having or having had Covid190 -
That’s a blow especially as I didn’t think he stood out as much in the earlier pre season friendlies as I have seen him play previously, maybe that was the reason 🤷♂️.Henry Irving said:Aaron Henry has said on twitter that he missed the team photo shoot due to having or having had Covid190 -
Only if the club hadn't given permission to speak to the player. I presume that permission could be granted even if the clubs had not agreed on the fee?Dazzler21 said:

Hard to really judge until the window closes but the fact remains that Cawley has confirmed we have been in for many players during this window.
A quick look at the incomings would also confirm we haven't been very successful. And that worries me.
These players are just not buying into the Sandgaard model. He may not be bidding the highest but in league one I doubt he's that far away with his financial offerings. A slight pay drop with the chance to play in London for a club with the prestige (for league one) of Charlton. A club with plenty of ambition. Premier League in five years? Europe in 10?? (Tommy's words) I don't think anyone has bought into the latter. But still. The ambition is there. But so far the better players for this standard of football just ain't buying it. And that is a concern2 -
Knowing our luck the other 2 teams in for Kirk are Ipswich and Wrexham.14

Excellent, if true.DubaiCAFC said:Also heard a potential loan signing today, don’t have any further details.

Hard to see Kirk coming if one of the 3 offers is for the championship.0
