    Our transfer planning is that bad, I wish we kept Davison as a runner.
    You could be in luck mate. There’s every chance we’ll be signing him for £300k in the next 24 hours.
  • Stockley fee was 250,000 

    250,000 what? Pennies?

    Neither.  If anyone goes it will be Leaburn.  But I think if that was on the cards we would have pushed harder for Plange.

    Looks like another summer rebuild in the offing if all we are bringing in are loans & getting rid of contracted players.

    what could go wrong with that............. :D
    I get where you are coming from Golfie, but a few loans and players like Stockley moved on wouldn’t be a bad window.  We’re not in a position to know the future of the club long term, and IF that statement re: our new owners is true, then our transfer strategy kinda makes sense.  

    The last 2 Jan windows have seen permanent signings of Mansfield, Schwartz, Fraser and Aneke.  You could argue Fraser has or will go onto have an impact, but the other 3 haven’t for one reason or another.

    This, coupled with Kirk and Stockley signing for decent fees in the summer of 21, plus a number of other misfits and overall, poor players, very clearly highlights a failed recruitment policy.

    How and why I don’t know.  I’m sure having MS involved is a big problem, but for me, why would anyone want us to be making long term signings now, given the history of the last 2 year and the uncertainty surrounding the club, unless they are proven s*** hot players, I don’t know.

    The season is dead.  We have enough to stay up, and the pond we are fishing in for players won’t allow us to get the quality to mount an unlikely play off challenge.

    I agree we need quality, but this isn’t the window.

    it’s all about seeing where we go with this takeover and seeing the back of TS
    And the summer one is ???  Our recent history in the summer is nothing to write home about. Actually it is something to write home about as I seem to do it every August. This season is was no left back & very little upfront. And we've paid for those errors by being 15th at the end of January with no prospect of the play offs.

    But just remind me again in August that I shouldn't panic & signings will happen. 

    Gah  !!
    In this instance, yes.  

    Is TS going to be our owner moving forward?  Who knows. Has the transfer policy over the last few years been a success?  No.  Are the potential new owners going to get the takeover done successfully?  Who knows.  Have we got any money?  Probably not.  Is the season dead?  Pretty much.  So many uncertainties add up to viable reasons as to just getting short term deals that may or may not work out.

    unless we had total stability, were being run by a competent person, paying fees and signing players on long contracts would imo, be a mistake

    With just over 24 hours to go before closing time and we are reaching the dreaded last day where we receive an offer we can't turn down and replace with an inferior player ?

    If that scenario doesn't happen sometime in the next 27 hours then cafc are making progress. Slow progress but progress if we don't accept average offers for our half a dozen better prospects.
  • I don't get the consensus that "the season's over." It isn't and we could still go down.

    Incoming

    ”The club are delighted to welcome back Conor McGrandles after his brief loan spell at Cambridge.  Conor rejoins the lads after 5 days in Cambridge and has put pen to paper and gone over his original signature in a deal that will see him contracted until June 2025”

    Conor said “I’m delighted to be coming back to the Valley.  I felt I had unfinished business from before Xmas and as soon as Steve Gallen spoke to my agent, I knew it was the right move”

    That concludes the Addicks transfer business this window.
    No way that happens, far more likely we pay Stevenage half a mill for JFC.

    You might say he was our Plange B.

    am I right in thinking the bit "on loan" he scored 0 goals !!

    We are a weird bunch aren't we? Getting rid of Stockley isn't a "cost cutting exercise", he was shit, has been all season and we got rid of him for a fee instead of letting his contract run out, a win win in my eyes. 

    We aren't going up, we aren't going down, what's the point in paying over the odds for a striker now when we can actually plan ahead and get one in the summer? Get a lad in on loan to fill the hole for now and finish the season. 



    Just like last season and the season before 😴

    Was linked in the summer but signed for Shrewsbury. 6 sub apps for them in the league, 0 starts. Just what we need then...

    Speaking post-match on Saturday after Salop’s brilliant 2-1 comeback win against Forest Green Rovers, the Town boss said the club have had a few approaches for the 29-year-old who is seeking to move closer to his family.

    But for a move to take place the Town boss says it has got to suit both parties.

    He said: “No there is no more update there.

    “A few clubs have been in for him and been cheeky with things.

    “We are not about to have the mickey taken out of us.”
