“Dobson to make way for midfielder…”0

We've kept most (maybe all) of our signings pretty quiet up until now, there's been very little 'in the know' stuff posted before they actually sign, so if Cawley is publishing an article on a striker then surely that means it's either close, or he's signing tomorrow.
Unless of course the article is 'Charlton decide against signing striker'.4 -
Just like when Sheffield United were said to be interested in Charlie Kirk so we offered Charlie a longer contract. Were they interested or just the agent and his friends in the media helping to up the ante ?0

If it’s the latter, this place will be meltdown central.Chris_from_Sidcup said:We've kept most (maybe all) of our signings pretty quiet up until now, there's been very little 'in the know' stuff posted before they actually sign, so if Cawley is publishing an article on a striker then surely that means it's either close, or he's signing tomorrow.

Well, if we want him..he will obviously choose us..we are more up north than bloody Pompey..

A story on that feels different to an update on that!1

My guess is that it’s Cawley saying that the club are working hard with several targets.4

I wonder if Simpson would be on Garner’s list? Isn’t he another slightly more mobile Stockley? I genuinely don’t know btw, not looking to start another stream of nit-picking replies.0

I thought Cawley was better than this, didn’t have down as a click bait merchant0

Think it'll be either a simple, to the point, statement ....RedJohn said:what about Evan Ferguson Brighton.
" No, we're not ".
Or that Evan double barrelled is currently having a medical at SL.1 -
Tbf he’s a journalist and clicks mean that he’s doing his job for the SLP. We’re lucky he’s been covering us for a number of years and keeps us informed in a manner that shows he has some affection for us.CH4RLTON said:I thought Cawley was better than this, didn’t have down as a click bait merchant38 -
Also known as the strategy of every single team below the top 5 in England. Southampton are basically a creche now, trying to buy up young players who aren't breaking into top 4 teams' first team with the promise of first team football and a sale back to a big club at a profit if they do wellMuttleyCAFC said:Find a gem of a player and then look to sell. Great tactic to gain promotion.

Clicks are what drive advertising revenue and in turn keeps the lights on at the SLP. It’s the reality of journalism in the digital age. Especially local journalism.CH4RLTON said:I thought Cawley was better than this, didn’t have down as a click bait merchant

I just said we had an update, which is @LouisMend asking about whether extra need to sign a striker after Aneke’s injury. If we had a breaking signing story it would be on our website now.
From Cawley7 -
That’s not clickbait, clickbait is a misleading headline to get you to check out some nonsense, he’s not gonna spill on the latest editorial before it’s released is he.CH4RLTON said:I thought Cawley was better than this, didn’t have down as a click bait merchant4 -
There's a lot of flap about Dobson based on no evidence so far but I'm fairly calm about whether he stays or goes. I do think he's a better passer of the ball than he's given credit for and I think he could play higher up the pitch if we're playing a deep-lying playmaker at the base of the midfield rather than a destroyer. Having said that though, if Garner has decided that he doesn't suit what he's going to do then in terms of a sale his stock will never be higher than it is now after winning POTY, and with our well-stocked midfield we could afford to move him on more than we can afford to go into the bulk of the season without another winger and another striker. Some players just don't suit how a manager wants to play, and if Dobson falls into that category and Garner feels we don't need him because we have McGrandles doing a similar but slightly different role, and we use the money from his sale to get in a goal-scoring winger and some competition for Stockley then I'm happy. The most viable strategy any team has these days is to get decent players in and sell them on at a profit to bring in more decent players. We got Dobson for nothing, if Garner doesn't play with a player like him and we sell him for cash then that's not necessarily a bad thing. If this is all smoke though then I'm sure he can play in front of a deeper midfielder and play well. We'll just have to see what happens.

26 Likes ? Problem is Stockley & Aneke will rarely play together. I don't think Stockley fits into our "new" system. Aneke fits into no system that last longer than 30minutesPelling1993 said:

I simply disagree
Dobson is better than McGrandles
Payne
Gilbey
Morgan
JFC
Fraser
He was our RUNAWAY player of the year.
Selling him because he's valuable is stupid economics if it makes us worse, which it will.

But if we use the money to improve the squad overall then it's good common sense. If he goes but a striker comes in that fits the system better than Stockley, we're better off overall.supaclive said:Garrymanilow said:There's a lot of flap about Dobson based on no evidence so far but I'm fairly calm about whether he stays or goes.

The only one of those players you can realistically compare him to is McGrandles as the others just don't play in the same way or position. Certainly he is much, much better than Fraser or Payne defensively but I doubt he would bring as much going forward so I can't get behind the idea he's objectively THAT much better.8 -

That's the wrong idea
We have an option for another year
We should build a team around him
We can discuss this in 46 games time. IF it happens.

If BG doesn’t go with him he is no longer our best player as he won’t be playing, if he isn’t in the plans, we don’t know for certain he isn’t , then probably worth cashing in. I’d be sad to see him go by the way, he may have been the best of a bad lot last year, but he was so much better he deserved the top 3 spot for POTY.🤣supaclive said:

Not quite true. I do find your comments funny at times. However we all loved Dobson last year and suddenly, with no replacement for Washington or Davison and no left back, some of seem to think it might be a good idea to sell our runaway player of tbe yearGarrymanilow said:

I didn’t realise Dobson was on par with prime Claude Makelele.
We finished 13th in League One ffs. No-one’s place, including the player of the year, should be safe.28
