Top man, cheers. If the articles all go onto here, SLP doesn’t get the eyes on their website that the advertisers would want and then we don’t get Rich’s insight for much longer.
Jesus christ don't put that all on me or I'll be finished here

Bloody hell, this on/off, Maybe/Maybe not stuff is like pulling teeth, FFS.. just either sign or move into your "luxury" Medway flat and get set for Div 2...but do something...😫🥱🥱
I expect the delay is because Cheltenham want a free & Sandgaard wont pay it. We'll have to wait for the new owners to get formal agreement from the EFL that the takeover is done & only then will any fee be paid.....assuming the new lot want to splash the cash.
I really don't think any delay is down to Alfie May.
Let’s hope the red bulls in the Royal Oak with Bert Palmer swing it.
May is nearly a done deal now guys.. but one of the biggest reason we have gone in hard for him now, is Leaburn injury I understand is worse than first feared.

Looked an awful tackle on Leaburn. Not surprising that it could be a long-term injury. Huge shame for him and Charlton. Imagine Kanu will be heavily involved from start of the season with Aneke/Leaburn out injured.

'Tackle' by a Palace fan too..... let that sink in.
Now let is sink out, I have no idea who it was or who he supports.

May is said to be very keen to come to Charlton. We would no doubt pay more than Cheltenham, so I doubt wages are the issue.
If Cheltenham had "already accepted our bid", we can suppose it's just how the deal is structured, perhaps?
If it is a serious one for Miles then I'd expect May + 1 other in just to give us enough options.
That should be the bare minimum even if Leaburn is fit - if we're going 3-5-2 we now only have 1 fit striker - Kanu, who hardly featured last season. We need 4 strikers competing for 2 positions from the start of the season of which no more than 1 should be a rookie from the youth team.
Whether May signs for us or not, whether whoever he goes to he’s any good or not is anyone’s guess, he’s got a blooming good agent putting his name out there all the time!
Just out of interest, who is his agent, and does said agent represent any of the player’s currently on our books?
His agent is very close to someone involved with the takeover.
Can't see a 343 formation helping us defensively unless one of the front 3 is prepared to regularly drop back when we lose possession and be effective in midfield/defence otherwise we are going be overrun down the flanks. Don't think CBT is that type of player - he's also injury prone.

I think it’s more 343. 352 doesn’t leave room for CBT or Campbell otherwise. Perhaps both will be used though.
I think it will be 3-5-2 if we are getting May. Was 3-4-3 against welling and probably will be at Dartford but that’s just because we don’t have enough strikers
Miles sadly appears to be quite prone to injuries.
Unfortunately if it's down to a bad tackle then I don't think you can claim a player is injury prone. And yes I know he had some injuries last season but I don't think we can say that on this occasion it's one of the perils of football.

He has had a few ankle injuries. Could be that he is prone to injuries there or could be because he's big players go in harder. I think it's a mix.

I wouldn't say he's injury prone but due to being our "main" striker at a very young age he's more vulnerable/probable to picking up injuries.
He's not delicate like Aneke but exposed more than he should be and paying the price.
It was a slide tackle in the penalty box by their lump who was outpaced. He completely missed the ball. Took out Miles's ankle on the touchline, but the ref found it easier to give it as a goal kick.
If it is a serious one for Miles then I'd expect May + 1 other in just to give us enough options.
Think we might even need may + 2 more depending on length of injury
noway can we rely on chuks and kanu
and i dont want us playing people like CBT or payne upfront again its painful
I was only originally going May + 1 because the one would be a PL loanee. However if we could end up with May, Miles , Sam Smith and a PL loanee that would be a fantastic group of strikers to have.

343 doesn't really make sense at this level because almost every team play 352 or 433 for a reason. You need 3 center mids, or even 4.
I still don't buy that we are going for May as alternative to Leaburn anyway, I suspect the Leaburn alternative is being worked on either way as well.
I don't think we can get too far ahead for next season's formation based on the early preseason friendlies. I would say the Aberdeen game will be the first real clue.
I can’t see us getting any proper updates on Miles’ situation (particularly if bad news) before a striker or two are signed. Sellers would inflate their prices at a drop of a hat if they knew we were more desperate for the cover than prior to Miles’ injury.
I hope Miles recovers as quickly as possible and it isn’t too serious. He must be really frustrated.

Not true … any monies will come out the budget that already been agreed ..

Not that I am an expert on this so probably total bollox but he gives me impression he is a solid unit, that he always looks a bit too fit, rather than a balance between fit and match fit, the latter being more essential for avoiding and riding the knocks you get during a game imo.
