I don’t know if this is a good or bad move?chev said:
A really good player, but is he a shadow of the player he was after his horrendous injury?0 -
Agreed but Dobson must need a rest. Plays 90 minutes every game.J BLOCK said:
Clare won't add any value in midfield. Similar player to Dobson who is much better there.ValleyGary said:You have Clare and JFC to come back into that CM category next season but wing backs defo need improving.0 -
Browne is a permanent not a loan according to Cawley13 -
Would be very happy with that. A decent signing who can be integrated this year with a view to us actually doing something next season.16
-
So we only have one player for each role?J BLOCK said:
But we have seen him play this season and he is defensive minded. If we want to challenge next season we need energy and creativity in the middle, we have the defensive player in Dobson. Clare ain't the answer in midfield.ValleyGary said:
Dont think we've seen enough of him to make that judgement yet. Im going on the basis that he was signed as a CM and thats what he rates himself as his strongest position.J BLOCK said:

Gunther, Matthews, Kirk, Soare, Davison. Five players who shouldn't be near our squad if we are looking to the future. Davison doesn't have the pace Grant does, doesn't score goals like Grant did, wasn't shoved out wide like Grant was. If Leko isn't going to be here long term (and my jury is certainly out on whether he should be) - then this highlights the poorness of our recruitment.
I'm not sure Browne is the answer. Chuks has already scored 1 in 2 starts, played a full ninety minutes twice (got booked twice) and is first choice currently.
Browne needs to be a first choice option and available on a permanent at the end of the season or aren't we just bringing in another short term option, who on paper, and injury record, doesn't look like he's going to massively improve what we already have....
If we are looking short term, isn't Defoe more valauble to us until the end of the season, than Browne?...0 -
Blimey another permanent. That would be great.6

Except Grant had been playing out wide here and needed to get back playing centrally, he also wasn’t out of contract, wasn’t 22, and had natural ability and blistering pace.CafcSCP said:
That’s what we all thought when Grant went to Crawley.Sage said:Pretty sure that’s the last we will see of Davison.
Hoping for at least another 2, maybe even 3 more to come. That’s just my hope if we can get Kirk and Souaré out. Gunter and Watson will leave in the summer, but a bonus if Gunter leaves sooner. He’s so far down the pecking order that there is no point us keeping him if we can also get him out and off the books.
Would love us to sign at least one long term permanent player that can really develop and improve with us and actually develop and improve too.
Interesting final week ahead.
came back a different player.
Hopefully the same will happen for Josh.
I hope he does well so he can get a move in the summer to someone in League Two. This will be the last we see of Davison, I’m pretty sure.
We need to get out this league and there is no point having someone who will be 5th choice at the most next season, counting towards our squad limit and isn’t good enough to contribute to a promotion out of League One.12 - Sponsored links:

Very upsetting for those preaching the "TS is skint" narrative.chev said:26 -
Does anyone know if Cawley has an update on the Marcus Browne deal?18
-
Grant had been an England youth international
Davison was someone released by Peterborough, that we picked up from non league.
That's not to say that Davison won't have a decent career, but realistically it will be in L2 with perhaps the occasional spell in L1 with a smaller club after promotion4 -
Don’t forget, we don’t get injuries and players all keep their form. 11 players for 50 odd games is more than enough.ValleyGary said:

Could potentially be a great bit of business if he’s fit. The fact that we could be getting him on a permanent suggests we’re satisfied with his recovery and see it as a sensible investment.Can’t wait to see an exciting right footed winger be pigeonholed into a LWB!2

Just watched the YouTube reel of Browne when he was at Oxford.
I know these videos can be dressed up but he's some player.
Excited if this one happens.4 -
If Browne is on a permanent, then I still look at the above and hope our recruitment strategy is better than the strategy used for Kirk and Soare.... :-)supaclive said:Gunther, Matthews, Kirk, Soare, Davison.

Permanent deal for Browne makes a lot more sense.1
-
Surprised to hear so many definitive comments about whether Browne is or isn’t what we need. Has anybody really seen enough of him to reach a conclusion? Serious question btw, I’m not having a dig.I watch the Quest highlights show, but don’t remember seeing him play (although I don’t pay 100% attention to the Championship matches).2

It is kind of throwing the towel in for play offs but it’s realistic. If we were in the race I guess we’d sign someone who comes in and hits the ground running, Browne is another long term ready for next season, I think it’s a good move.BR7_addick said:Permanent deal for Browne makes a lot more sense.4 -
Your original post quotes JFC and Clare coming back into CM and it's wing backs that need improving. Those CM's aren't enough to go up next year. We have no creativity.ValleyGary said:

With his and our injury history, I’m not sure that a perm is the best idea. Hope he does well but these signings never seem to work out for us.3
-
Isn't this the type of deal where a loan until the summer with a view to a perm would be the best route?5
-
Surely a 'try before you buy' would be the sensible decision to see how he is after the injury.
Rather than taking another risk and ending up with Souare mark 2.4 -
I haven’t, so can’t pass comment. I think the problem stems from the fact we’ve had a lot of poor signings over the last few years. Even the ones that we thought were potentially going to push us on, haven’t really pulled up trees.JamesSeed said:Surprised to hear so many definitive comments about whether Browne is or isn’t what we need.

The player or Boro are prob not interested in that, more they want to free funds and a space up now. I think it is a good deal for Charlton, they are prob picking him up on the cheap now, and build him up for next season. Good age at 24, hungry, point to prove, lots of potential!Cafc43v3r said:Isn't this the type of deal where a loan until the summer with a view to a perm would be the best route?15
