  • I'm happy to put my neck on the block to say that the striker coming in might not be injury prone but he wont be experienced & most likely another "teenage sensation" from a premier league club.

    Remember, you heard it first here.
    I'll put my neck on the line too, and predict he wont be a loan

    We kept Elerewe which was good. We can’t expect to keep every talent we have whilst we’re pissing around in this league.
  • Chelsea will treble Burstows money and next season he will be out on loan somewhere just as he will be for the next five or six seasons until one of those loan clubs buy him. Of course the money is important and I wouldn’t blame him if he took the shilling but at what cost in disrupting his life for the next six years at least. Yes he’s a decent prospect but if there is any truth in Chelsea being interested and he departs it’s for me just another nail in the coffin lid of my love for football. This madness needs to stop. There’s very little left that’s attractive to me as a football fan.

    What striker? We were after an attacking midfielder in Browne and Cawley said there won’t be any further signings. That’s fallen through so we’re looking for alternatives, with Fraser being one of them.

    This quote from Bowyer back when we lost 4-2 to Burton last season (first defeat in 9) couldn’t be more true about a majority of this squad right now: 

    “They are playing for a great club and some of the players we have in this dressing room were struggling to find clubs – this club took you out of that problem. The club expects you to rebound with hard work – that’s all”
    Yeah, and it was both a misdiagnosis and a dick move. So glad he's not our manager, and hopefully never will be again 
    So let me get this right, if the manager thinks players playing for the club that we as fans pay good money to support up and down the country as well as spend so much of our time on, aren’t pulling their weight and taking the piss so calls them out for it he’s pulled a “dick move” ?  

    You seem to have forgot who took us to Wembley & out of this gutter of a league then almost kept us up with everything stacked against him? Think he deserves a lot more then your post.

    Not going to get on everyone’s nerves and make this all about Bowyer on a transfers thread so I’ll just leave it with the above. 
    Great post, couldn't agree more.

    Sorry, I thought Brown was a striker.

    My bad.

    My post still stands. Incoming likely to be a Premier League starlet.

    "We will not be selling our good young players" or words to that effect. This is a vital test now with Burstow.

    I will be absolutely gutted if he goes. 
    To be fair, there isn't much we can do if the current champions of Europe come knocking can we?

    Thankfully, that’s a nonsense website. 

    They churn out content like nobodies business so it’s probably a non story.

    Maybe I’m in a barking mad minority.  But Burstow going (with a respectable fee that will be reinvested and a sell on clause) and Fraser incoming I’d be happy.

    1) you cannot stop a big 6 coming in even if you’re one of the big 10.
    2) we need to think about the short term future which is getting out of this pisshole league, are we realistically going to ever see the best of Burstow down in this league?  Of course not, he will probably be nicked off us even if by some miracle we got promoted this season.

    I didn't realise Fraser had fallen out of favour so badly at Ipswich. Does anyone know why? New manager doesn't fancy him or has he been terrible?

    If we're showing an interest, it'll be the latter.

    Unless he's got a injury

    If he goes my season ticket is going in the bin. The only bright spot on another shocking season in this shit division. 
    The twitter post simply says they are tracking him. Doesn't mean they're going to sign him, but let's not forget Burstow played a couple of games for Chelsea on trial before we signed him, so is it really a surprise they're still keeping an eye on him?

    Also whilst it would be disappointing to lose him, how is Chelsea nicking him from us any different than what we did to Maidstone just over a year ago? That's how the football pecking order works.

    I honestly don't think he'll leave us yet though. 
    Obviously when he left Maidstone for us he did so to better his career and move to a club with better facilities and coaching who play in a higher division.

    But if he leaves us for Chelsea he's just a greedy, ungrateful snake who should have stayed to repay the two years of development we put into him.

     :D 
  • Fraser was excellent last year.  The previous two years for Burton he was a decent midfielder but no where near the level of play from last year. So was last year the anomaly and has reverted back to his actual quality or was Ipswich just not a good fit

    The South London Press has been told that Charlton closely scrutinised a deal for Browne but eventually decided the switch was not right for them at this point.

    Browne wanted too much money, the club didnt agree given his injury record perhaps?

    God help us if he joins Oxford and scores against us next month
    Middboro wanted 400,000 we were only happy to pay a small amount up front the rest over games played …. Boro wanted most  up front

    Perhaps we should scrap the youth system like  Brentford and use the money saved to attract other people's better youth players already in the 1st XI has Brentford do.  No heart breaks or egg on face then. This will mean Chelsea have to do proper dcouti g instead of being Russian  money funded vultures. 
    Hard to do without a lot of money in the first place, and that's not the Charlton that I support. I like that we bring youngsters and academy players through

    Fraser would excite me in a way Browne (  because of injury concerns) doesn't.

    Be exciting if we could bring in Scott Fraser although he will be attracting interest from the Championship, we like signing players that play well against us, Lyle Taylor used to, Erhun Oztumer scored against us, Charlie Kirk..

    Yes, lets cut off our nose to spite our face!!!!!

    We are mid table league 1 even if we were a championship club, we would still not be able to keep our young players. Hopefully we can keep young talent for longer or negotiate realistic fee's for them but selling academy products to cover the losses of league one mediocrity is part and parcel of modern football unfortunately.

    Based on not being the know but my thinking is that Browne deal was looking good and Frasers become available so we have switched targets as a result..
