    I don't expect us to spend another penny on a transfer fee and it'll be loans the last couple of days of the window. Not ITK we've just seen this a thousand times before. We don't owe these new owners anything, they need to get us on side. We all heard that there would be more action than words but the silence is deafening.
    4/5 more in and money will be spent especially on the striker

    I’ll bite. What positions will the 4 of 5 players be in?

    Thought someone in the know claimed we were meant to be signing a striker before Saturday, have we and I missed it? I think the deadline for him to play on Saturday has now passed.
    Player can still sign or has signed and not announced or could sign tomorrow morning ? Or be in attendance tomorrow sign on Monday .. either way he would not have played tomorrow anyway that don’t happen these days .. midday is deadline.

    Could definitely do with chucking out a statement about the owners’ plan. I get that they don’t want to make grand Premier League claims, but if they’re playing a sensible long game then say so. 
    Surely said statement would come after the window shuts, not 10 days before it. Its unconventional I know, but I'm going to refrain from panicking until after then.

    I’m rather hoping that our negotiations are difficult because our targets are being sought by other clubs of at least equal standing and the clubs, players and agents are trying to hang on for the very best deals. We’re so far away from a top six squad at present and the players we’re tracking are going to have to be first eleven ready. We can still salvage the season but we’re now looking at Port Vale as a must win. I’m still onside with the new owners but the reality is that what happens next will define them. It’s going to take more than a couple of Prem kids and journeyman signings to get us top six. I’m already thinking top two is beyond us.

    Egbo was announced before Colchester’s game on Tuesday and he came on as a sub that night.

    This happened on Tuesday against us, Bristol Rovers announced a player at 6pm and he was on their bench and came on so your wrong there!

    It was just a reminder to the in the know person who was very confident at the time, but has said nothing about the signing since? Wonder if this might prompt an update?

    I'm all out of patience and I'm not interested in excuses.
    Put up or shut up, the clock is ticking
    Yeah this for me. Sick of giving our competitors a 5 or 6 game head start every season. 
    5 or 6 different results last season would have had us swap places with Peterborough and who knows what our luck would have been. Equally the opposite effect would see us swapping places with MK Don's and we'd be in uncharted territory.

    Every GOAL and POINT is precious. Just think back to our goal difference relegation.

    What plan IS being expected to resolve this problem. The club owe it to supporters to explain this as every supporter is a weekly, monthly, yearly committed investor.

    Seeing people mention Andy Carroll on twitter, if we signed him I'd genuinely be horrified.

    Rotter of a bloke, woman basher, shite at football and a proper sick note. 

    That would be one of the worst signings we could make imo.
    I agree with most of that and defo wouldn't want him. But he's not shite at football

    Don't forget the first season back down either, 20-21. Missed out on G/D. There are such fine margins.

    Anyway we all know the deal, sorry for clog the thread those who read and expects some gossip, I'll leave it there. 

    Sign a bloody striker Charlton

    Sadly I don't think the general feeling amongst fans is panic, but resignation-to another shit season.
    They will really have to pull something special out of the hat to make that feeling go away.

    How comes we offered big money for Exeter striker ? They have said they want 4/5 new players

    We offered money. If we offered big money, he would be a Charlton player by now!

    that isn't a dig at the new owners, as I don't thing nombe is worth big money.

    IMO he's worth more than JCH and Cosgrove, about the same as Eisa, maybe slightly less than Lapado. 

    But the valuations teams put on players themselves are different to what a player is worth

    Over 3 weeks since the last transfer announcement, surely something has to be announced today, even if it's just a PL loan. 

    If nothing else, the squad must need a bit of a boost from a new face, never mind the fans, as I'm sure they're getting concerned.

    Maybe Sandgaard has sold to a load of chancers

    I think with how vital he is to Exeter despite being able to walk away for nothing next summer + a sizeable sell on clause to MK Dons means that the price for Nombe is going to be steep. 

    I wouldn't be surprised if we spent £400-600k on a striker but I can't see it being JCH because Darragh will want £1m+ , Eisa seems to be one of those players that crops up every time we're after a striker and I wouldn't be against him as a signing at all.

    How do we know what we offered, if we offered anything at all? Wasn't Nombe a twitter rumour that went from 'he's definitely signed' to Exeter posting a pic of him training in about 3 hours?

    Cawley’s article.

    https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/charlton-athletic-did-make-approach-for-exeter-city-striker-sam-nombe/

    The South London Press understands that the Addicks made an approach earlier in the transfer window indicating they were prepared to pay around £500,000 for the 24-year-old striker, who has less than 12 months to run on his contract.

    But Exeter are believed to be holding out for a fee in excess of £1million for the former Milton Keynes youngster.

    So you would pay 1.2 mill for him plus the 30% sell on to MK Dons .. the bid is 600,000

    Any sell on fee comes out of the amount we pay for the player.
    Not on top of said fee.

    Eer no, what's the sell on got to do with us, they won't get anywhere near the 1.2 Mill you are stating, it's between Exeter and MK Dons to sort out the sell on fee, our reported bid is realistic and Exeter need to wake up to reality...and PDQ I would suggest...in fact the whole Nombe saga is getting very boring

    It’s quite possible we could offer x and they say, nah, we went 30% on top to cover the sell on.

    Its not exactly the same, but it’s close enough.

    Will be the ideal replacement for Kane but not yet. Needs another season at Brighton, score a load of goals, then leave.

    And we'd tell 'em to do one hopefully, can't see where we come into this +30% stuff, tuff luck on Exeter if they agreed that figure...
