    Saw Scott Minto in Hays Galleria who very kindly stopped for a longer chat than he would have cared for. What an absolute top bloke. A reminiscing chat tbf and not sure why I am putting it on this thread 🤣 but just chuffed that he was willing to give as much time as he did to little old me. Thought I would share with my Charltonlife family. 
    This is the transfer rumours thread 😉

    or is he our new left back?
    The rumours thread you say. Hmm 🤔 
  • Sam Winnall has signed for Burton Albion

    So if/once we get the forward in on a free transfer, that will be the class of 22/23 confirmed.

    Mac
    Wollacott.   Decent for L1. Was in the L2 best of squad last year.  Made plenty of decent stops already

    Clare.  Most of this season has looked to have Championship qualities.

    O’Connell. I like him, whole hearted. Ok on the ball.

    Thomas think he will come good and play a fair amount.

    Lavelle trier but unconvinced.

    Inniss always injured. Nice chap but irrelevant if he doesn't play.

    Egbo Swindon fans seemed to rate him.  Think he will be decent if he can dislodge Claire.

    Sessegnon fast with some skills.  Great loan addition

    Dobson.  Real worker.  Excellent player. Don't get some of the negs this season on here about him.

    McGrandles.  No idea but comes with a decent reputation and I think looks a decent signing from that.

    JFC never been his biggest fan, injuries have taken their roll. Shame we couldn't move him on.

    Payne not seen anything to get excited by yet. Wasteful in possession and light weight.

    Morgan if he can keep his form up he could do very well this year.

    Fraser never loses the ball. Scores goals. Really like him

    CBT brings pace and unpredictability but needs more composure in the final third to push on 

    Kirk not my type of player.  Decent enough but a shirker.

    DJ feel he has been a bit hard done by but profligate.

    JRS will be a PL star in the future.  Sadly, with Palace 

    Aneke will be fit inside a month and stay for for his 20-30 min cameos for the rest of the season scoring 15+ and shutting up the boo boys 

    Leaburn surprised if he doesn't hit 20 goals this season. Looks great.

    Stockley not the right formation for him but won't ever give less than 100% and will end up with 10 goals or so.

    ???

    I know there’s a couple of youngsters like Henry, Clayden and Ness on the fringes, but what do we think?  Is that a squad capable of promotion?

    Our recruitment this summer has been really good? Maybe not quite enough of it, but I don't see many flaws otherwise 
    You could make the argument that our recruitment was really good last year (no laughing at the back).  More than half the starting 11 today were, probably, signed last year.  That's not including CBT either. 

    I am not making it, but I could see how someone could. 
    Not sure on that. We finished 13th last year can't say recruitment was really good.

    If they can postpone all football until January, we might be able to sign a new striker and get Chuks fit
    The former more likely than the latter but both as likely as  euro lottery win.

    Chucks was fit to play last week, but carry on.

    Was he?? Good news if true where has that been said?

    Hopefully Garner has learned a lesson about Chuks and won't overplay him. Think the injury is slightly down to him not appreciating how fragile Chuks is and keeping him on in that friendly when it was clear he was shot in the first half.

    Have a look at the Chucks thread 👍
  • No more signings.
    Close the thread before the meltdown begins 😬

    I’m not that bothered by this.  I think anyone who comes in won’t make enough of a difference.  It’s not like we were likely to get anyone better than Stockley, which we need (imo).  I think we’re just likely to bring in a body.  The mistake was in assuming Stockley can lead the line and lack of preparation as a whole.  Getting someone in now, unless a Kermorgant, would just be shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted 
  • No surprise that, as no decent free agent strikers, who might join us, are out there anyway.

    any striker would have purely another body for the sake of it. We clearly made a mistake not going one it, but that couldn't really be corrected once the window had closed. 
  • It would seem we are not getting a proper striker 
    as we have missed the deadline yet again.
    some less optimistic fans to myself think promotion is now highly unlikely and attendance at the Valley will slowly decline.
    I say that if we are  in the top 8/10
    by January and if our Ego driven owner invests 
    in a proper Striker then we will see, as Goals get results get points 👍
    we are all so used to lies, Bullshit and broken promises that anything could happen 🤮

    You're aware that 'striker' was Macauley Bonne?  Proper?  Might he have made a silkier purse out of the sow's ear that passed for service in to Miles Leaburn last night?
    All ifs and maybes as Skintgaard pulled the rug and we're lumbered with our rabble of League 2 free transfers, youngsters, outcasts and crocks.

    It was QPR that pulled the rug nothing to do with Charlton .. plus we only went after Bonne because BG number one target got his move to a championship club

    Misinformation.
    'Pulled the rug'? Making things up doesn't help.

    It was QPR that pulled the rug nothing to do with Charlton .. plus we only went after Bonne because BG number one target got his move to a championship club 
    So we went all transfer window chasing Scully then on deadline day he went to Wigan we turned to Bonne? If so what a plan.

    This brilliant strategy of waiting until the last minute when fees supposedly come down and other teams panic seems to be somewhat flawed.

    Things are getting strange Im starting to worry.
    This could be a case of Bonne and Scully.

  • We were never going to sign Bonne, it was all smoke and mirrors to keep the fans happy. That statement on the web site when the window closed was probably written before lunch on the same day well before 11.00pm
