    Usual suspects on Twitter complaining the clubs skint and TS has given us no budget because our opening offer for Dempsey was only £200k
    Well, they're not wrong in a way. What's wrong with bunging down £500k & say take it or leave it. No haggling, just do the deal. Its not like we can be choosy now is it.
    Why would you start at £500k on Wednesday when they could except £300k by deadline day? You lose money that could be the difference between signing one good player and signing two.

    They need the money and he’s not signing another contract. Putting your first bid as the asking price is not an intelligent way to conduct business. 
    But he's a financial adviser...
    Is his advice give me all your money and I'll sort it?

    Joking aside he is a very good IFA and a really nice bloke.  It's like a different person sometimes.

    Not one for Wikipedia, but Dempsey has won 3 POTY awards in his career thus far, can’t be bad that.
    Been told he's best player at club by a mile by someone very close to the club.

    I'm never in the know but £500k gets him
    I’m thinking £400,000 may do the trick.

    I'm thinking more £387,264.29

    This firmly tongue in cheek but I can just imagine Golfies closing statement when signing a new client up !

    Unlikely to happen as we have only bid a max of 40% of what Gills want for him. 

    Can change quickly.

    Could we get lapslie back think he would walk in this team now. 
    He can’t get in Mansfield’s team
    Why the lol? It’s true, he has started one game for Mansfield this season and has been on the bench every other game which suggests he isn’t interested.

    I don’t get how a league 2 squad player like lapslie is all of a sudden good enough but when we sign a league 2 player, there is melt down on here?
    Why do you question every lol you get? Someone might be laughing at the fact he can't get in the team, as opposed to laughing at you. Get a grip ffs
    LOLs are the new flags.

    "90% of clubs have done their dough, a dozen plus clubs now in a panic to off load players so they can trade until Xmas"

    Exactly as I was told a few weeks ago.  I think that's a fact but I still think we have left ourselves to short up to now.

    Amusing if it weren't for the exclusionary "bollocks" tingle. What about "clitoral" tingles? and "I'm not entirely sure what i have got down there" tingles? and "i know what i have got down there, but am not too pleased about it" tingles? Come on, i thought you were better than that Soapy.

    Poor fella ... All that way to watch the shower of S**t last Saturday. Anyone else think his mate looks like Andy Marshall

    “We’ve got Elfsborg on the line, what would you like to talk about Elfsborg?”

    ”I’m worried about the actual budget available for transfers given our activity this summer.  A lot of the fans are clinging to Sangaard’s statement about blowing the league out the water.  I can’t see it myself, Clare and Dobson look downgrades on what we had last season and the set up under Adkins looks all wrong.  And to top it all off, the only comms coming from the club are about a Brazilian fan who looks like a fat Maradona”

    ”Which way did you vote Elfsborg, in or out?”

    ”Eh”

    ”in the referendum, in or out?”

    ”I’m not talking about the referendum, I’m talking about the situation at Charlton Athletic”

    ”I wouldn’t know about that Elfsborg, I’m a Leicester City fan.  Thanks for calling.  That was Elfsborg everyone, of Charlton life”

    Cawley doesn't put a timeframe on his "Yes" could be in 6 years time. He could be anticipating a marquee striker for the 2027/8 season to give us that muscle to get out of the National League South.

    This is hardly a shocking revelation.  Of course we'll make more signings.  We simply have to as we are massively short of quality & depth

    Surprised Cawley bothered to answer it really
  • Aaron Morley... 

    21 year old midfielder from Rochdale. What of him

    Excuse ME !!

    I'll have you know that a genuine tingle needs NO clarification. 

    And although this is strictly Fanny territory.....

    ....sadly there's no sign of it since the start of this season. 

    Come on, Thomas ! 

    You know what you have to do !!!!
