Loving the barnet!1

Have no idea about the lad but he seems from what’s being written that he’s more than decent and consistent. That’s a squad of 18 so four places left. LWB next please and a marquee striker on perms then the loans.0

I'm not bothered about getting a marquee striker (who?) if we can nab a great loan player in that position. It's always a gamble though.0

Who loans out a “great striker” ? We need to get in some loans certainly but we need a contracted striker coming in.WSS said:I'm not bothered about getting a marquee striker (who?) if we can nab a great loan player in that position. It's always a gamble though.0 -

Surprised they haven't flown him out for a couple of nights... it's only Spain. Such an important bonding exercise.1

Everyone was moaning when we didn't get Parrott last summer saying he was a "great striker".
Hans Jepson for the older fans...0 -
Solid L1 player. I see as a replacement for Watson/Arter/Albie/Lee for now.

Stockley started out as a loan didn't he? Hasn't done too bad for usShootersHillGuru said:

My understanding is when they went for their early morning swim today McGrandles suddenly popped out of the waves, snorkel and all, and said ‘Ta Dah!’. (In a Scottish accent).Jonniesta said:Surprised they haven't flown him out for a couple of nights... it's only Spain. Such an important bonding exercise.

I can’t remember the player but he looks to have a good pedigree and you can’t have too many leaders in the team. As well as creating things and retaining possession, he obviously likes a challenge, which is important at this level to avoid being bullied and outplayed in midfield (as we have been so many times over the last two seasons). Some additional height in central midfield is also a bonus.As the great Lennie Lawrence said, it’s always good to have a few Scotsmen in the team, as they tend to be fighters and winners. Great memories of Mark Reid, Colin Walsh and Jimmy Melrose in the 1980s. Plus - anyone who tries to throttle Lee Johnson will do for me.Another piece of transfer business done quietly under the radar - a bit like the old days. Long may it continue.5

Agreed, or if not U21 at least the football they've played taken into account. Winning young player of the year after 130 odd professional games is a bit daft.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
He's 27 in September. Winning 'young' player of the year just 3 years ago seems a bit much. He'd been a pro for 7 seasons at that point in time.Cafc43v3r said:He was MK Dons young player of the year in 18/19. Wasn't Gilbey their POTY the same year?
Might just be me but i think a young POTY should always be U21.0 -
Maybe @mendonca meant McGrandles is replacing all four of them 🤷🏻♂️😉addick1956 said:

Now that we’ve had this positive piece of news and are all happy, balance must be restored.Come on Thomas - replace the Sam Bartram statue with one of Alan Pardew.2

I would be extremely surprised and extremely disappointed if Dobson was sold.Dazzler21 said:
TS wants/needs promotion as much as the fans.
I can't imagine him selling our POTY unless he gets a "crazy" offer.5 -
Options yes but I'm not sure how they fit together. neither JFC or Fraser are 10's both liking to try and control the game from deeper. Gilbey isn't a proper box to box and I still don't really know Morgan's best role despite him having a lot of attributes. None of them bar Dobbo really have any physicality and think we will end up looking pretty lightweight in midfield again.SouthWest_Addicks said:Don’t know a lot about the lad. Decent pedigree at league 1.
6 midfielders now; JFC, Fraser, Dobson, Morgan, Gilbey & Mcgrandles. Could be 7 with Henry on the scene. Imagine one will definitely leave before start of the season. Strong options there if Fraser & JFC can chip in with goals.
Depends on the system we want to play but we need a box to box midfielder for sure, someone like a League 1 version of Gallagher or Aribo (though they were much more than box to box) and a number 10 if we want to play with one.0 -
Last two moves were on free transfers.
Don't be surprised if he moves on from us in the same way at the end of his contract.
Hopefully he will have done a good job for us before he goes.
Welcome Conor.

My final go, as you're being spared from THE🗡️🐟 PREDICTS now! It works better for GoT addicks and is family freindly.

He's not king of the first men,
And he's not king of the andalsHe's the king, of the Valley,
And his name's Conor McGrandles.

Good name, young, cheap, 6ft-tall, no previous Swindon or Charlton links and has a nasty-sounding recent injury.
Perfect.

Edit: As others have said…Dazzler21 said:Plays the deep lying midfield role, would suggest he's a defensive midfielder. For that reason I suspect he'll replace Dobson.
Apparently he’s an all rounder who can play all midfield roles, including box to box. A few on Lincoln forum saying he scores goals if not stuck in deep lying role. He should be able to play alongside Dobson, and cover for him if Dobbo is injured or suspended. 👍3 -
We will be in the Champions league then, so can bid him a nice farewell.TellyTubby said:Last two moves were on free transfers.

It sounds like Bridcutt was more available in 20/21 than he was in 21/22. That meant McGrandles dropping back into that hole and playing more defensively.2
