Leaburn, Bonne, Stockley is fine for the rest of the season imo. Especially if we're only playing one striker

It’s more a question of whether you want to shell out £6k a week (if Salary Sport website is correct) for your third choice striker. The money could be better spent elsewhere really. Not sure how long is left on his contract, but that £6k will be a major disincentive for any club interested in signing him. 

If you had 18 months on a contract on 6k a week.  Why would you move to good knows where for 2k a week?

I mean someone like Salford or Wrexham might offer him decent money.  If he sees Chislehurst, or where ever, as his "forever home" he probably needs to see out his contract to pay for it. 

I don't think there would be the same problem for the likes of Kirk or Lavelle but off loading older players who are from the South East, or have settled there, is a big problem for us.  Hence we are paying a very high % of Gilbey and JFC's wages to play 4th tier football.

JFC was a permanent transfer. Won't be paying any of his wages.

Jayden lives 5 minutes from Junction 6, M25 so Gillingham would be doable without moving but it is an alarming dip to go from being wanted by Sheffield Wednesday and Portsmouth, 12 to 18 months ago to his present position of losing the captaincy, falling down the pecking order and the 20 goals in all competitions from last season a distant memory.

Don't think Jayden had any pace to lose so really not sure if this back issue is affecting him this season. Most big forwards that battle have ache and pains as it a fight every match. He has obviously suffered in the 3 up front but even when we have played 3-5-2 he just doesn't look like scoring. 

He won't want to drop wages and he doesn't want to go up 'North' unless he can use Dale Stephens Satnav.

'End of the world' is the wrong phrase. Stockley saying simply means don't expect to see a forward who offers more on the pitch than off, in terms of a replacement.

Re: Leaburn being sold, the current speculation re: a takeover would complicate things, but if it were TS and someone came in with even a bid of £1m, he’s likely to accept it, regardless of if we think he’s worth more.  

When you’ve spunked as much money as he has, with what I presume is little chance to recoup it, you’ll take every penny you can get 

Cabbles- : - No chance TS accepts £1m or Leaburn would already be gone.

Gribbo: - 

If he sells Leaburn any new owner will say the club is now worth £X million less as you’ve just sold off the best asset and only thing you own that’s worth anything. Leaburn is probably the only thing that TS can use to justify asking for a decent fee to sell the club so he won’t want him gone on the cheap 

Gribbo: - You think Leaburn is worth £10m? But more to the point, why are you writing in Roman Numerals?

 Vff: - ‘X’ is more of a mathematical type ‘X’ here, Charlton Life at its finest. 

Cable’s point is a good one re: selling off the family silver to generate funds for the takeover that Lenegan clearly doesn’t have (to convince EFL that there is working capital for a year). 

Its a gamble, what happens if Lenegan et al. don’t manage to flip the club before the money runs out in a year ? & they’ve sold off what decent youngsters & saleable assets Charlton have.

If you look at the numbers  we are struggling to offload it underlines what an expensive catastrophe our recruitment, player analysis and black box nonsense has been over the last two years.

Someone should be held accountable but won't be because he is the owner's little boy.  

Pathetic!

Could probably go back further and include Gallen in that n all

Have we actually got any players we signed pre takeover left now JFC has gone?  Morgan signed his last contract under ESI 2, with all sorts of 3rd party ownership rumours/bollocks, but other than that I am struggling.

I do wonder if Kieran Sadiler is the cryptic “force” player swisdom is referring to? His name sake - Helen Sadiler is the voice actor for multiple characters in the animated Starwars series. He is also, as stated above in the Bolton news link, A no.10 that has been utilised as a striker although has been playing wingback this season. Although I could be clutching at straws and over thinking this massively!

We are trying to sign a player from Bolton the day before we play them. The way the club appears to be run, I wonder if we are trying to keep this quiet so that we can play him tomorrow without the opposition knowing our game plan

Has anyone ever questions where Salary Sport sources it data from? I seriously doubt how accurate it can be.

Hearing Nada Rien is a possibility
