    Sorry to go off on a transfer related tangent. 
    Interested to see how he does. Sounds like an exciting player.

    "He changed the game at Wembley"

    Ah, the old Johnny Williams Defense. 
    Unlike Williams, he scored. 😉

    Purrington isn't good enough. 
    Is this the same Ben Purrington who only missed one match and played 90 minutes pretty much every other game last time we got promoted from league one? 
    Only got signed January 2019 though... But that was when we went on the stonking run
    Purrington was a game changer. After losing Grant we had to become better defensively to go up, Purrington ensured we were able to do that. 
    You can't honestly call Purrington a game changer 
    Someone missed Wembley...

    12:09 pm and still no signings. 
    I didn't want to start pissing the bed this early but I am going to get myself a head start on the pending meltdown due around 2 pm if we still haven't

    I think a Right midfielder and striker is priority over a left back first. 
    Is that you Steve....?

    SO DOES THIS MEAN A NEW STRIKER IS IMMINENT…

    We don’t want to be lighter in that area now

    Purrington isn't the worst but he's also nowhere near as solid as is claimed. Evidence for the prosecution: Blackpool away when he got sent off and Maatsen dealt with Hamilton effortlessly, and worse still the Gillingham defeat when he basically let them shoot for their winner and Bowyer said a certain player would never play for him again (a typically embattled dick move on his part admittedly)
    I always presumed that was Oshilaja - Neither played for Bowyer again (Although it was only two games)

    But Purrington did come back into the team, Oshilaja on the other hand never played again
    Okay, I've checked now. It was after the Blackpool game a couple of weeks later that Bowyer said this. Oshilaja was confined to the bench. Purrington was dropped from the entire squad

    https://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/91607/statbank-charlton-0-1-peterborough#latest

    TBF, as can be seen, he came back in under Adkins and did quite well, although Maatsen had the position back by the end of the season

    PARKER LEAVES BURTON

    Josh Parker has left Burton by mutual consent, seven months after joining the club in January.

    Is our lucky charm coming home ?

    He is 21 and has had one appearance in a senior game for Charlton, in the EFL cup.

    That was very much tongue in cheek. I've given my reasons in a different post, if you disagree that's cool. Like I said, I don't disagree we need something else today but absolutely stand by the impact he had 2 and a half years ago.

    The only two times I've ever seen Purrington truly blossom on a football pitch were when he played at being Beckenbauer for 20 minutes against Sunderland (an experiment Bowyer should have repeated) and when he and Maatsen both played the last 20 minutes against AFC Wimbledon and he kept getting in the box

    Doubt it has any impact at all to be honest.

    Not scored a league goal since he left Gillingham in January 2019, for any of the 3 clubs he's had since then. He's nothing if not consistent

    Imagine being a striker that hasn’t scored for 32 months!

    The criticism of Purrington is unfair as the average marks for the season given on this site put him higher than: Gunter, Oshilaja, Pearce, Gilbey, Washington, Matthews, Morgan, Maatsen, Watson, I have left out some of the lower marked players but really why give him so much stick and not the others

    Somebody claiming to be itk on the Charlton Facebook page has said the Arter delay is down to issues with his medical.
