Why does he need to say anything? Now, we just know that Kilkenny’s style is going to be more of this than as described - control, which is just another unnecessary bullet in TS’ feet 🤦🏻♂️ Let the players on the pitch and manager do the talking ffskillerandflash said:
A quote from Thomas to let us know he's still around!Oggy Red said:

Aw, kiss and make up with Thomas.ButtleJR said:
Never spoke to Martin, only Thomas. Just became obvious TS was a compulsive liar with a huge ego after a while and I gave my opinion on a few things which he didn't appreciate. Wouldn't say we were pals by any stretch. I was just naive and believed he was a good bloke who would do well.balham red said:
@ButtleJR Last I was aware you were pals with Martin on LinkedIn. Was it an accumulation of club events or did something happen specifically to make you turn on the Sandgaards?ButtleJR said:
No, someone more reliable than that twat... though that's not saying a lot.KentishAddick said:
Been told by TS?ButtleJR said:Been told to expect 3 signings today: based on above I'd assume hector and the bournemouth midfielder plus a striker.
Maybe he'll tell you his exit plan, in confidence of course.
Then you can tell us.

Either way next seasons squad is likely to be very different.SELR_addicks said:
A lot of assumptions there.Oggy Red said:
It's obvious that all transfer business is being conducted to get us through the season, and enabling a reset in the summer.cabbles said:
It’s why I question anyone who is getting worked up about who we bring in in this window. Granted, transfers seems to be being engineered by Scott (maybe) and maybe TS is hands off this time round, but the evidence is clear, the recruitment has been very poor for a number of years.Leuth said:

I keep reading bargain bucket comments on here. People do realise that we are in the bottom 25% of the top four divisions? Of course we are shopping in the bargain bucket! If we were shopping at Harrods we wouldn't be bottom half league 1.SELR_addicks said:
And we're still in the bargain bucket regardless.CH4RLTON said:Macgillvery, Macgrandles, Stockley, Forster caskey and Kirk all out so far that is quite a big wage trim
we need curbishley style signings, not necessarily big name signings. We need players to fit the managers system and to balance the squad. I couldn't care less if we replaced stockley with a £50k player from barrow, as long as he fits the system and can provide stability to a squad that gets rebuilt every transfer window.
Fraser | Aneke | Lavelle | Kirk | Clare | Stockley | Shinnie | Jaiyesimi | Schwartz | Washington | Gilbey
Two of those (Lavelle | Jaiyesimi) could still depart, whilst one is crooked.
Maybe we're better off looking around in the bargain bucket, as we cant be trusted to make transfer feesWhy would we risk bringing in any players on long term deals when all of the above bar Shinnie have constrained our ability to have a complete refresh. We really need to get to the end of the season either in a position where players’ contracts have run down, or, the majority of the team have been moved on.Anything less than that and I think we’re kidding ourselves about our ability to get out this league next season
So far, fringe members of the squad are departing and short term replacements coming in.
Each of these players will have something to prove - either to earn a contract with Charlton in the summer or put themselves in the shop window.
They know they will need to play for their futures.
Even if they are not regarded as standout players in this division, they may prove to be Holden type players.
Remember Curbs mantra? ...... "building a team greater than the sum of its parts".
Let's see what happens.
The only fact we currently know is that clearly the squad budget for the rest of the season has been reduced for contracted players.
We have no idea on whether that implies more money in the summer or a continuation of the reduction in budget.3 -
Same as a good majority of us. Looking back the signs were always there. I regret rubbishing them a few times now.ButtleJR said:

What’s the betting the ‘free agent market is still open so we will look into that if needs be’ line will be trotted out when we fail to get anyone in5

It's the way League football operates in this country, a forever repeating cycle, and the bleedin' obvious.
I also pay attention to events, what the manager says over a period, add 2+2 and wait to see what happens.
Not rocket science, is it?
