Agree with the priority positions you highlight. We also need players who can score goals. Outside of Stockley we have no-one we can rely on to score the goals needed to get us in the top 6.MarcusH26 said:I'd expect most loans to be later in the window even for U23s , clubs will want them in for a chunk of preseason first before making decisions. Hopefully we don't leave it right to deadline day though on that front.
LCB and left back next on the list for me please , wouldn't be surprised if the left back is one of the loanees though.
Oh definitely need attacking options, would expect if there's fees to be paid for players then one will be a striker that's more in the ilk of Washington.0 -

Posh have signed 2 loan players already. Most sides will know which young players are way off 1st team contention this seasonCafc43v3r said:

What date did we sign Famewo last year?2 -
Out of contract next summer. Probably never play for West Ham. In a similar position to Cullen was although he hasn't played as much men's football.Callumcafc said:A must sign? The best player at the Valley last season in my book.
Would be a cracking signing.
Another one would be Lowery from Crewe, now out of contract and less likely to go to Blackpool, as looked nailed on a couple of months ago.

Sausagedog has been told one more Swindon player will be joining.8

Almost certainly Reed, though I would also like McKirdy10

The obvious ones everyone will talk about are Mckirdy, Reed, Payne and Williams.Scoham said:Sausagedog has been told one more Swindon player will be joining.
However we need an attacking left back and Ellis Iandolo had a good season for them. 7 assists.5 -
And the keeper. Him and Payne could be the easiest/most likely given they're out of contract.covered_end_junior said:

Do they count as Swindon players if they're out of contract? Maybe sausagedog is being coy and only one of them we're paying a fee for0

Raiding the best attacking team in league 2 for their defenders is a very Charlton thing to do. Would be happy with any of those apart from Williams. Payne is out of contract so I reckon he’s the most likelycovered_end_junior said:

Perhaps as Garner already knows them he wants better forwards for this division ?NabySarr said:

Their captain and the lad they had on loan from Ipswich have been mentioned as well.
Is it fair to say that last seasons Swindon team were about as good as the teams that came up the year before? Two of which finished on a similar number of points as us. So quite a similar standard to us?
I would suggest that they didn't have a great deal of depth and a couple of obvious weaknesses.
I would be quite happy having 5 or 6 of them, especially if it meant replacing 2 or 3 of the squad we currently have.4 -
On the Swindon forum the one they're most worried about is Payne, the quote was 'leave the biggest hole'... If you'll pardon the pun.

Looks like some hit the sherry hard last night.
From the little I've seen of Swindon, Payne looks a decent footballer, and likes to have a pop0 -
The key questions for me...
Does O'Connell look like an upgrade on Pearce - Pearce is an old school stopper and looked like he'd trip over the ball. He's not the kind of CB who will be picking up short goal kicks in his own box and playing it out. So looks positive.
Does Egbo look like an upgrade on Matthews - Given how bad Matthews was last season, it would be hard not to be. Sounds like Egbo is more an athlete, at the very least.1 -
Although I think it’s unlikely that we re sign Williams I wouldn’t be too disappointed if we did. Under Bowyer Williams was not used in the same way that he would be under Garner. In a team always wanting to retain possession and looking to push forward which is what we’re hopefully getting then Williams would look a different player to the one that left us. I’m not saying as a starter week in week out but a very useful and effective squad player. I’d rather JW than young PL loan who either isn’t ready or not good enough.11

Better impact sub than Leko or Lee imo. Would be an upgrade if his use was from the bench, that said for his own sake I hope JW stays with Swindon, he seemed to really enjoy his football last year.ShootersHillGuru said:Although I think it’s unlikely that we re sign Williams I wouldn’t be too disappointed if we did.

There were quite a few that had played at a higher level and sort of lost their way a bit and may have even been in danger of dropping out the pro game and now a lot of them will be looking at moves to league 1.
Iandolo is an interesting one and a different profile to most of the others he didnt come through an academy, apart from a couple of seasons at Gillingham as a school boy. He was a SEFA Scholar. Has anyone here played with or against him?

We played 46 games last season and Matthews, Pearce and Purrington had good, average, and bad games.
If you don't agree with that look away now.
What we should all agree on is all 3 of the above were slow. Fraser who has hardly started his Cafc career yet and JFC are one paced. With pace around them both can be effective on the ball.
Both O'Connell and Egbo will bring Character and some much needed energy and hopefully pace to a Charlton squad that other than Corey Blackett-Taylor, DJ on occasions when on the right and Sean Clare when he goes on a charge we are lacking.
Both Dobson and Morgan can snap at the opposition but the Morecambe home game summed up Cafc last season. Good for the first 15 and last 15 and the start of the 2nd half but 3 shocking goals given away as out of Possession we were terrible and slow to find a defensive shape. 67% we had the ball but we were so open for the other 33% out of Possession.
No bits of the jigsaw are any good on their own but I can see the type of picture that the Sandgaards, Gallen and the man with the casting vote, Garner are trying to achieve.
Without an X factor player like Yann that gave the big Momentum to the Powell 100+ winning side we may have just been a Play off team, and that is no disrespect to Hayes who was decent but no Kermorgant. BWP without a service wasn't a hard working player outside the box.
Where do we find a Yann who will unlock the defences and be the key man ? No data box would have found Yann, only the fact that Chris Powell worked at Leicester under Pearson gave us the moody Frenchman who was excellent for Cafc that League 1 winning season.5 -
The World Cup means signing Williams would be a bad idea in my opinion. I think as a player he’s good enough but if he’s going to miss at least a month of the season (and that’s without injuries) when we have a squad cap that doesn’t feel like a smart signingShootersHillGuru said:Although I think it’s unlikely that we re sign Williams I wouldn’t be too disappointed if we did.

I don't see how the positives around Williams can outweigh the negatives. Nobody ever has an answer for them so I can only assume it's sentimental. He is very likeable as a person.1
-
Slight bit of pedantry: the X factor player is Chuks Aneke and has always been. What we need is another X factor player for when our first one gets broken8
-
Like, I genuinely believe we'd be close to league favourites if Chuks could guarantee 90 minutes every week. But he can't and we're not.4
-
I am not sure how a maturing non scoring, nil assisting attacking midfielder like Williams is going to propel us up the league even when he is fit.4
