    A big well done to whoever has signed off for a decent League 1 fee to be paid to get his signature.
    This may end  up being a  pretty good transfer window.

    Is Dean Holden very tall or Alfie May very short?
    Well Dean Holden was a 6'1" CB and Alfie May clearly isn't,

    Put another way, Holden passes the Charlton Life height test. And May is an epic fail. :)

    Know a couple of Gillingham fans who are very annoyed by this so on that basis a great signing before even scoring a goal!
    It’s not a long commute but I’m surprised that Alfie has decided to buy somewhere overlooking the Medway in Gillingham. 
    It was either that or buying somewhere overlooking the Thames in Thamesmead.

    Laughable that someone with a great scoring record in L1 would drop down a division to a non Wrexham  L2 club anyway.
    David McGoldrick scored 25 goals for Derby last season and dropped down to league 2 to sign for Notts County. Although he's done that because they're his hometown club and first ever team. 
    And McGoldrick is 35, not 30

    There's a reason I only listen to Richard Cawley and ignore the Donuts that joined the bandwagon that said Holden didn't want Alfie May.

    I suppose Holden is lying !

    Welcome to Cafc, Alfie May.

    Some people saying that May scored goals in 20+ goals in successive seasons, but the season before he only scored 6 for Cheltenham.
    They've not done their homework. 

    May was only transferred to Chelenham in the January 2020 window, scored on his debut, plus another 5 goals in the next 11 games - before the season was curtailed by Covid lockdown. It never re-started.

    So ...... only scoring 6 goals in 12 games?

    It's hard to know how good a signing this will be, but I'm all for it. A decent punt  :open_mouth:

    Correct, Holden needs to see how Cheltenham played to his strengths to get the best out of him.  If we try to change his game then things may not be as successful as we all hope.

    IF I have to moan, the wiring on the inside of that doorway early in the video is atrocious, who did that, Kirk?

    Welcome Alfie

    Do people really care this much about the size of another man? I couldn't care if he's 4ft or 7ft, he's quality and he scores goals, his height is irrelevant. 

    Ecstatic over this, same calibre signing as Ricky Holmes and Lyle Taylor in this league, if we can add a similar level of player to our midfield and defense, there's no reason why we shouldn't be fighting for autos, amazed we have pulled it off.

    Welcome to South Londons number 1 Alfie May

    All joking aside, his previous history reminds me of a certain geezer scoring a hat-trick at Wembley.

    well, Mendonca was a consistent scorer over a few seasons for Grimsby before joining us 60 goals in 166 games over four/five seasons, that's why Lord Llewellyn paid a LOT for him .. but I know what you mean .. let's all hope that he's somewhere near as successful for us as was Super Clive

    I could not agree more, I do not understand why people make comments about others being short.

    May is short - it’s why Millwall released him when he was a teenager.
    31 days, same as most months. If we're talking short, February  springs to mind

    According to Wiki

    22/23 - 39 league appearances - 20 league goals
    21/22 - 46 league appearances - 23 league goals

    January 2020? As in the 19/20 season? That was four years ago.
