This very likely and please note ‘forwards’ not ‘striker’… 👍🏻Covered_End_Lad said:southamptonaddick said:

In response to the Stockton rumours:
Because if Stockley breaks a leg next week we are left with just Leaburn ffs !!!
I will laugh my arse off it this happens. Total incompetence if we dont sign a striker before the end of next week.
CB is this biggest risk as we have the least cover, we have 1 back up CB for 2 positions. We only play one up top and we have 3 players that can play there, yes one is injured currently but it would be less likely that 3 of 3 are injured at the same time compared to 2 of 3 CB when one is Inniss.We will sign a CB soon, then we will bring in another forward (someone who can play across the front line). I hear the CB is fairly close now, we have also made recent contact with at least 2 clubs regarding forwards.0 -
Here we are again. Almost a week on from a win… because we drew we’re f*cked again apparently20

Agreed. Garner is honest again in the press, and admits what we need vs. what we will probably end up with the budget we have.sammy391 said:https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/charlton-athletic-boss-rules-out-move-for-swindon-town-star-attacker-harry-mckirdy/Christ, the tone of that is quite demoralising
It's both sad and frustrating, because this squad is not a million miles away from having a sustained push at the top 6. With the squad he has now, it might get top 6, but it's in the balance. With those 3 players, it could be a lot more likely.
It's not my money, but I just think that Garner is the kind of manager I'd want to back with the money he would want to get the players in.8 -
So in summary we want a CB, full back and striker.
That's unlikely to happen though and we'll probably end up with a CB and maybe a striker if we're lucky.
We don't have transfer funds available so it needs to be a loan or a free transfer unless something changes and someone is sold.

Premier League inside 5 years and Champions League in 10, blow our way out of L1 to...
"I don’t have a transfer fee available to go and bid for him. At the moment that would be a non-starter for us.”
Him being a L2 player.
Whatever you think of TS he could not have set expectations any more poorly when he arrived!24 -

You think we are able to keep it up for the whole season on a budget squad? People are well within their rights to be annoyed by the fact we aren’t going to be spending any money on players1 -
Are we really that strapped for cash we can’t afford paying 500k for McKirdy, or is it just downplaying it so that clubs/agents don’t try think we’ve got money to burn?

Surely you are not shocked though? Garner says in black and white that "he does not have a transfer fee available to go and bid for him".sammy391 said:https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/charlton-athletic-boss-rules-out-move-for-swindon-town-star-attacker-harry-mckirdy/Christ, the tone of that is quite demoralising
We have not paid a transfer fee for any of our new players this season so it is obvious that our transfer budget was, and has started from a low point.
Some of the names I have seen mentioned above are laughable, we are never going to be bidding for the likes of some of those names.
If we move on JFC, Gilby and possibly DJ then that will free up some wages for a loan coming in.2 -
Agreed. TS is still in credit with me because he saved the club from possibly going under. I wish he said something along the lines of "the club nearly died, as a result, it will take time to rebuild and move forward but we will move forward. This is a massive project and I can't put timescales on success at this stage". I think he would have a lot more people backing him if he did say something similar to thisAthletico Charlton said:Premier League inside 5 years and Champions League in 10, blow our way out of L1 to...

I think Garner is just being cute. He is not going to say we are after a forward as prices will be inflated so if he plays it down we may get better value in the market. It might be he doesn’t quite have enough for the fee for say McKirdy but nearer the deadline Swindon may drop their price or we might get a few quid in elsewhere and increase our bid. I am fairly sure that by 11pm on the 1st September we would have another forward in the building. If not then I’ll pile in on the criticism and the shortsightedness of it but not now. I genuinely think we are a CB and Forward from a top six finish but without either we will miss out and it will be another opportunity lost and TS will end up losing even more money.

I am more and more convinced they set the budget expecting someone to go for money and they haven't, yet.sammy391 said:https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/charlton-athletic-boss-rules-out-move-for-swindon-town-star-attacker-harry-mckirdy/Christ, the tone of that is quite demoralising

it’s fine though we might win tomorrow and we’ll be all good again 👍🏻0 -
I’m convinced that there is some money for a striker but not at the prices currently being quoted.2

If we are after McKirdy, we have a few fringe/youth players that I think could help them as well as helping the development of our players. I’d even let DJ go there if it got a deal done.

I think DJ will find his first team opportunities very limited unless our injuries get even worse. Not sure he’s up to League One tbh.1

We arent a bottomless pit of money.
Being annoyed or whatever is laughable... its frustrating as you want the club to sign the best but if we are keeping to a budget then so be it...be financially viable for the future or in ruin in 2-3 seasons cause we spent needlessly?
Could be a smokescreen to not give away our financial position or just keeping the purse strings nice and tight. Best wait and see what i looks like when the transfer window slams shut.20 -
The 'Sandgaard's skint' squad is going to have a field day with that article.13

Worth remembering that during a transfer window Garner will need to play a bit of gamesmanship in the media, we have spoken to Swindon about McKirdy already. If they have a valuation too high we may go back and offer something closer to the deadline if another club doesn't meet that valuation. A team like Swindon will need funds and may drop their asking price if it looks like they won't get it.Personally I don't think McKirdy would be the fantastic signing that some do, maybe Gallen and others agree with me, worth a punt at a good price but not worth paying over the odds for.13

Remember at the start of the summer general view was Pope was worth £15-20M wasn't it. Didn't Burnley cash in at closer to £8M. So our sell on say £2m less than expected?? Also was a chance Gomez would go too which didn't happen.Cafc43v3r said:

On the above, forgot to mention before but we get another slug of money from Liverpool when Gomez hits 100 league games for them, he isn't too far off that now and may give us more room to manoeuvre in January.

Garners comments are depressing. Without further striking options, we will not get promoted which means that we remain stuck in this perpetual Groundhog Day loop of 3rd division football with declining attendances. I am supportive of TS but unless something dramatic and positive happens on the transfer front in the next 10 days, we will need to try and generate new investment from somewhere else because the current owner is unlikely to be able to take us forward.1

Unless you believe that commercial income will increase massively being in league 1 for another 2-3 years is not financially viable either.king addick said:We arent a bottomless pit of money.

I am not annoyed but I really can't get my head round the fact we can't sign someone until we off load someone else. When that player had his contract renewed 10 weeks ago.3 -

I'm not sure I want us spunking 500k on McKirdy tbh. That is a lot of money at this level for someone with one good season in L2.10 -
