If we’ve asked Madger Gomes to come back after failing a trial then we’re in serious trouble.TomNight said:Chances of it actually being Madger Gomes? Still 3 weeks left but bloody hell we could do with a positive transfer just to settle everyone down.It’s nuts that the window remains open 4/5 games into the season!I will be someone else

We didn't need a massive squad rebuild this summer though. If we had signed another 2 or 3 permanent players and 1more loanee by now, most people would have been pretty happy, as you'd have a decent core of players with the final PL loan players to arrive later when they are freed up by their parent clubsShootersHillGuru said:I always thought that our squad rebuild couldn’t be done in this summer window and it would take maybe even two or three more windows to get close to what we need. I must admit I did think that by first game we would have a squad that could be challenging for playoffs and not deficient in key areas. With three weeks left to this window we are still woefully short and I doubt three or four PL kids will change that. My view is unless we sign three permanent first choice players our best hope is hanging in there near the top six to give us a chance to push on in January with a signing or two. Still three weeks but masses to do. Not many goals in what we currently have.
The sort of numbers I'm talking about are hardly "Football Manager cheat code" stuff. Instead since Famewo on the 8th July we've signed ONE player. The 8th July is so long ago, Euro 2020 was still taking place then!2 -

It isn’t un pc to say a player is black.DOUCHER said:
have a think about it Elliot, you seem a reasonable chap - hasn't all the talk today been about kirk signing - well, a new player has been training with the team - people seem to think if a player signs, he does a medical, trains then does photoshoot so surely adding the player is black gives a bit more info than not saying it - why on earth i wouldn't say it just shows how f&&ked up things are now with all this PC nonsense.ElliotCAFC said:
I know what you mean, but it’s no more descriptive than saying a player is blonde.DOUCHER said:
isn't black a bit more descriptive ?LargeAddick said:
if you wanted to be really PC you could have said 'a new player was training with the team today'.DOUCHER said:can confirm that a, how should i say it, to be totally PC - here goes anyway, lets hope ive got it right - ' a new black player was training with the team today' so ...
If it was Charlie Kirk training, would you say “a new white player was training today”?
Not saying you’re being racist at, all by the way. Great that we’ve got something to be excited about10 -

I think people were kidding/wooshing him?DamoNorthStand said:I am probably one of the most passionate and vocal 'anti-racism / racial equality' people on this site, and even I can't see for the life of me what @DOUCHER has done wrong here.

I've changed my definition of early doors to be anytime between midnight and 6am, its all about perspective you see.RyanSalesWestStand said:

Kirk sounds like another Maddison to be honest. If he doesn’t want to be here then we should move on and find good players that really want to play for the club.You can tell how much players like Innis want to be here, and even Clare. Not the best player we’ve got but it’s refreshing to hear how happy he is to be at the club.3wks left, I know it’s hard but judge everything when the market is closed - he says impatiently.2

Aaargh. The old, ‘don’t want to move to London’ rears its head again. It does piss me off the way that people who aren’t from London assume that it’s an urban jungle and that they won’t be able to open their curtains in the morning without witnessing a stabbing. We had friends from the midlands visit us in High Barnet and they spent the whole time acting like they were in the Bronx. Of course property is very expensive. So expensive in fact that you virtually need to be a professional footballer to afford a nice house, but as that’s precisely what these prospective signings are I can’t see the problem.7

Of a number of players I've been told will be 'over the line' in the next couple of the days, there only appears to be a reasonable excuse for one of them not happening due to a failed medical.
Two separate sources told me Kirk was done and dusted on Thursday.0 -
Just don’t take the London excuse .. he was happy to join us Jan and has had weeks to tell us he don’t want to move to London so why now when deal done and he expected to sign this morning .. his agent got sniff of a better deal and bigger percentage for himself told him to hold fire for 48 hours to see if anything happens …. if nothing happens Kirk could still be a Charlton player by end of the week if we still want him after being mucked about for a second time by his agent …Uboat said:Aaargh.

Thinking about it I expect Kirk and his agent have always kept their options open, why tell anyone you don’t want to move to London? They have nothing to gain doing that. He probably would have signed if it was the only option.
Might explain why he’s not moved during the summer, maybe his agent has been trying to find him a club closer to home and ideally in the Championship. Those clubs won’t have someone like Kirk high in their list of priorities given he’ll likely be a squad player. They’ll bring him in if budget allows after their main signings come in.
All speculation of course..0 - Sponsored links:

Most frustrating summer transfer window ever?11

Imagine Charltonlife in the 02/03 summer transfer window. Gary Rowett, Paul Rachubka and then Blomqvist and Mustoe on deadline day!3

I think we’ve done some good business so far, but everyone’s expectations were so much higher than what’s being delivered.Valley11 said:Most frustrating summer transfer window ever?I’m trying to remain patient and judge it some September.Stockley is a massive signing though!!1 -
Also, this is nothing compared to January under ESI!1

Think the year with Powell Abbott and co was the worse I can remember.Valley11 said:Most frustrating summer transfer window ever?
this has started ok and I’m confident we are trying and will be ok come the end of the window.0 -
In the last 33 days we have made one signing3

We didn’t know that at the time, we were probably just happy signings were coming in.roseandcrown said:
