Looks like we've beaten Ipswich to the signing of Charlie Kirk!cs1986 said:2 -
So apart from the time and the contract length...MrBurns said:I'm hearing it'll be announced at 3pm today. 3 year deal

CAM and LB for me - morgan will play a part but think we need a better CAM - would like to see some pace at left backScoham said:
Left back for me.sam3110 said:Ok now that's done, what's the most pressing matter in terms of signings now? LB, CAM, ST, CB, GK?
Is wanting another winger on top of that greedy? Perhaps we’ll get a striker who can play out wide.5 -
LB, back up RCB, attacking midfielder, and a striker who can play on the wing (Leko mould) and we’re sorted.
Oh and a back up keeper6 -
To be honest Kirk coming in shows we need to get players when they become available, not try to sign them in a priority order.Vfrf said:Scoham said:

Is wanting another winger on top of that greedy? Perhaps we’ll get a striker who can play out wide.Depends how far off fit Gilbey is for me. Bannan showed me how important a number 10 can be and Morgan just isn't there for me. He's a decent off the bench option but I can't see him making that place his own. Gilbey if he can get back to fitness would fit the spot well but I'd bring in another if we're still months away.LB the other priority for me though and a winger to rotate.
If we get 4/5 more of Kirk’s quality I’d happily wait until deadline day for all of them.10 -
IF Gilbey is out for more than a month, i would say CAM would be high priority after LB, although Albie might come along i am not too confident. Feel bad for dismissing him already but i do feel he has been in around the first team and particularly the first match shows he needs to get the composure and be more effective in the final third. Not saying he's rubbish, maybe early season too so would love him to prove me wrong certainly has the potential.2

CAM the most important position on the pitch in my opinion - have to get it right15

Ok but are we sure it's him?ricky_otto said:Done - video on Twitter page with him in the shirt1 -
1 outta 3 isn't bad. My source didn't think the media work would be completed by 3pm. He was wrong about the contract length though.killerandflash said:

Disagree, I think we need a winger and a striker. Someone like Leko wouldn't cut it for me, we need another striker who can cover Stockley.JoshAddick said:LB, back up RCB, attacking midfielder, and a striker who can play on the wing (Leko mould) and we’re sorted.

LB
RCB
RF
STK
Priorities for me, in this order.0 -
Disappointed was hoping it would be a double signing from Crewe....Kirk and Dale

The right players at the right time and not just bodies for the sake of getting bodies in. Virtually every signing made this season has been made without any prior confirmation and I hope that this continues with one or two more permanents plus three or four loans.
If that happens then hopefully, in three weeks time, Golfie won't know what to do with himself. I'm sure he'll still find something to moan about though!5 -
Washington can do that.cafcfan1990 said:

Excellent to get Kirk over the line quality signing - here comes the bus 🚌 with more players 🤞🏻0

Just need to bring them in now.barstool said:Looking at his stats his goals scored are good and his assists are stronger, hopefully they are even better this season with top players around him2 -
And he's not a striker capable of playing up front on his own either.LonelyNorthernAddick said:

There’s disappointment and then there’s going completely OTT.DOUCHER said:
i think its perfectly reasonable for people to be a bit underwhelmed so far given the talk at the end of season - to twist it any other way is distorting the reality - however, it is what it is and i'm not going to throw my toys out the pram if we don't sign xyz but lets not pretend that people aren't entitled to be a bit disappointed if actions don't follow the words.KBslittlesis said:
So you tell your parents, ‘why did you go & tell me there was a Father Christmas? You set me up for a lifetime of misery you lying buggers’?SID said:
But they didn’t need to make promises they couldn’t deliver. We’ve been lied to for the last decade so why make it so much harder for themselves with unrealistic targets.KBslittlesis said:This thread is indeed an insight into the modern football fan.
Instant.
Instant results, instant glory, instant satisfaction………instant.
I’m with Grapevine. Why do you bother? You all seem so miserable. You all seem so sure it’s all shit on a stick.
Maybe it’s because I’m away from it these days. But all I see is my club being slowly rebuilt after years of neglect. Rebuilt from the ground up. Not just the squad but everywhere.
Yes they made promises. What did you expect them to say ffs? You once believed in the tooth fairy & Santa Claus too right. We’re grown ups. We can tell when people are telling us what they would like to achieve but know it’s unlikely to happen. Jesus my bosses did this to me all my working life.
We are starting to have our Charlton back & that feels good.
Now can we please have some rumours 🤷♀️
If TS had said from the outset that there wasn’t much money to invest in the squad but the club has been saved I’m sure 99% of people on this forum would’ve not only accepted it but would’ve been grateful for what he’d done. I can’t help think that the negativity going around right now was self inflicted by over egging what was going to happen this season.
No of course you didn’t (at least I hope you didn’t).
I took it with the message that was intended. HOPE!
The negativity is yours. Don’t go blaming others. You have a choice.
Some on here are being just that imho.
Hopefully now Kirk has signed on a 4yr deal, they can maybe rethink their stance?3 -
Presumably Barcelona are losing hundreds of millions per year so the only right Barca fans have is to expect bankruptcy? This goes for nearly all clubs, so football fans only right is to expect bankruptcy?balham red said:
"We shouldn't be content with the squad we have either"wmcf123 said:
Although he didn’t do himself any favours with his early comments.ElfsborgAddick said:
Other business interests to attend to perhaps.Yann897 said:Sandgaard has now flown home, find it even stranger that he’s been here about 3 weeks and we haven’t signed anyone as we know he loves the limelight and being involved,
really hoping we can get one or two over the line before Saturday because the atmosphere could turn a bit if it’s a bad performance.
Whilst Sandgaard is not exempt from criticism I find it staggering that so early into his reign he is copping flak. The years of neglect and mess created are not going to be cleaned up in five minutes.Anyone who doesn’t see that he saved us is clearly moronic but that doesn’t mean we should be content with the squad we have either.
What do we have the right to expect? You (and the majority here) seem to think we have the right to expect better than a top 6 worthy squad, because we are Charlton. Why does Charlton have that right?
As a club we lose 10m per year or something. So surely the only right we have to is to expect bankruptcy? Why do we have the right to expect Thomas or any other non-Charlton fan to fund our expectations? As a club our rights extend only as far a self sustainable operation would allow us, which is far below this point.
Its unpalatable, but its the truth.
I think it's more nuanced than that.3 -
Disagree, he's not a striker in a 433 for me. I see him more as a sub capable of coming on down the wing or as a striker in a 442.JoshAddick said:

Be great to hear from Gallen on this signing and where we’re at.2

There's just as many people moaning about the moaners posting their thoughts as there actual truly negative posters IMO.KBslittlesis said:
