"Sign more players."

"No, not those players."

Shut up with this shit. It does my fucking head in. It doesn’t even make sense. 

Yes, we need to sign players, but ideally they would be good enough. 

Let me give you an example: 
‘Sign a striker’
*Club signs Bonne*

‘No. Not that one.’
What’s the problem? 

If it was ‘Sign ANY striker. No not that one’ you might have a point. 

We all know Bonne is shit. Poor example.
Most on here, like me will have never seen some of these players play, possibly never heard of them.
Because they’re not household names, they’re already shit!
If they’re shite they’re shite.
I for one won’t judge until they’ve had a good few games.

They might never "have a good few games"

That's the issue

A bunch of unproven, inexperienced young players will not enable our own unproven, inexperienced young players to force our way into the Top 6.

That's the issue.  Oh, plus we've spent about 25p and a packet of polos..... 

such a negative spin it’s a joke, I wonder why some of you even bother with Charlton. 

SPIN ???!

Methven uses SPIN

I am within my rights to point out the bleeding obvious.   You may be happy with getting worse season on season.

We were promised money would be spent.  Boasts of "Billionaires" and a desire that CAFC only makes sense in the upper half of the Championship. 

Do you think ANY of their actions add up to supporting their claims currently?

I don't. 

But sit there praying for a miracle if you like.

Can you find me where Methven said money would be spent ? ( some has clearly ) but I’d also like to read that.. I remember him saying we’d be run sensibly with a good senior management team. That’s what a lot of people wanted, we’ve signed good players now we have to wait and see what they can do once we get a manager in and a few players back fit.

You’re right, according to his sales doc his plan is to slash costs by £7-8m and gain promotion. Cloud cuckoo but he’ll spin it out until we all realise we’ve been done over. I mean step back for a moment. The worst start to a season for decades, the first team to sack their manager this season and signed a load of young players with a handful of senior games between them. I know it’s hard to admit things are going so badly wrong so early and hope is already fading of promotion but don’t sugar coat it. Friends who support other teams are messaging me saying WTF. I think we need to wake up to reality.

WHAT SALES DOC

The one that’s been seen by trusted people who care for this club. I know it’s easier to discredit it rather than wake up to the fact that this lot are no good for us. I know we don’t deserve this bad luck but don’t attack the people who care about this club.

But if it's that bad and the people care for the club that much, they have to share it. If no-one shares it, there's no point referring to it, you may as well refer to the zodiac signs or tarot cards, or a mischievous little green leprechaun that only you can see and hear, for all it's worth.

Because the person who shared it with the people who are Charlton through and through didn’t want to reveal who leaked it. It’s fine, put your fingers in your ears and carry on shouting I don’t want to hear bad news. When people get scammed they will do anything but admit that they were taken in by it all.

How am I being scammed and how do I stop being scammed?

Tough life twice a year...🙄😅.

I think we've filled all the major gaps in our squad and moved on some of the deadwood. The truth is none of us know if it's good enough for promotion. We're all gonna have to wait and see.

Some of these youngsters have played just a handful of senior games. One or two in a starting line up is fine but this is ridiculous. We all knew Methven’s plan of slashing costs and getting promotion is laughable but it’s no loss to him if it fails, he’s already made his money from the deal. Expect more spin until a fire sale when the investors realise they’ve been had.

When you say some of these youngsters .

Louie Watson has 18+ games in the championship so a league above us.

Abankwah only has a few games under his belt but in serie A against Juventus of all teams, so he clearly has something about him.

Tanai Watson is a good established league one player and not a youngster.

Tedic was bought by Man City for 3m has 100+ senior appearances and was in the Dutch top flight only two seasons ago .

there ya go with a slight positive spin for a change.

FC Zwolle 38 games Two goals.

That’s a rip roaring goal scoring performance.

Tall lad isn't he? How many did his strike partner get from his assists? Carl Leaburn wasn't a prolific goal scorer IIRC, but Paul Williams was largely thanks to him. Give these guys a chance and don't write them off on the basis of their first 45 in a Charlton shirt if not before.

Peterborough have accepted a bid for JCH

Could we have gone in late

Or am i dreaming 

It will be Derby, Rovers or Sheffield Wednesday. 

BBC saying we’ve been the most active club in the EFL today in terms of incoming players.

 Have we bollox.
We've basically signed anyone mad enough to put pen to paper. Who worth their salt would really show up for an outfit with no manager?

This will be a shit show of cataclysmic proportions, even for us!

Iv seen so many other fans say they’re jealous about the business we’ve done but Charlton fans are just never happy.

 Complete nonsense. Most fans are probably chuckling away at the back.
We are a laughing stock. 
I'm sick to the back teeth of us signing another no mark and people coming on here and telling us how good they are.
They won't be. I've seen it all before. More than most with this shower of a football club. I flatly refuse to be taken in by clowns like Methven,Sandgaard and Southall
I can see us being on the back of some real good hidings this year
It's a complete and utter mess.

It has been an excellent window , with young players with pace and energy … too 6 here we come 

Who are you most excited about and why?

The right wing back going to be a fav very direct with pace , and the Man City striker looks a force up top think he could be a real find and get the best out if May 

Did you seen much of him last season in his 21 games for Barnsley ??   Scored 4 goals. Less than Fraser. Less than Payne. 

I hope to god he does do well & can score 8+goals that will be needed to keep us in this division.

Tedic done - Cawley

That’s it then, just kids. Not a promotion squad.

Bore off..you don't have a clue what will happen with 41 games left.

Honestly, what a ridiculous statement

To be fair, a lot of people predicted what would happen in the transfer window - and it has.

I’ve got visions of Sunderland til I die when Methven decided last minute to pay £4million for Will Grigg after the manager told him he wasn’t worth more than 1.

Charlie has gone and forked out the same tonight… 🥳

You’re just wrong there. That’s not logical. They don’t have to share it just because you want to see it and the fact that you can’t see it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. 

If Tedic is done it’s a decent day in terms of getting players in in the positions we need. I’d like a left back too, myself, because I wouldn’t want to play Thomas there every week if Edun gets a bad injury but I accept that’s not part of the “plan”.

Now we just have to find a manager who can get a tune out of these strangers. Big week ahead.

Brilliant. 
If we sign no one or 1 or 2 it's a major whinge. 
We sign 3 & suddenly that's wrong as well & they are no longer deadline day signings, but become strangers.

(Obvs none of us know how they will perform). 

I have been consistent with my whinging. I have always said that we needed the bulk of the squad signed by pre-season - ideally before they went away to Spain but certainly once back & well before the season starts. I gave 3 markers....1) before the Spain trip, 2) Aug 5th and 3) Sept 1st. And I have not wavered from that. Players signed in August should be fillers (like the 2 or 3 today) NOT mainstays of the team. 

1 reason why we're one of the busiest League 1 clubs today and teams like Pompey & Wigan have been quiet is because they did their business early. Its not rocket science. You might not believe this but I get no pleasure saying this season in & season out. Call me out when I'm wrong by all means but this season is playing out just like last year. And we know how that went. 

 Yes and we probably all agree.
But we don't all whine incessantly. 
You & others give the impression you've never had a single day of happiness in your miserable lives. 

I genuinely have a very happy life, bar Saturdays between 3pm and 5pm and the odd Tuesday evening.

It's a Forum

It's transfer deadline day

If we can't vent now

When do we?

End of the season when we remain in this shit league?  Wanting the very best is a common goal.

We all want to be pleasantly surprised by our new signings.  However, being lied to by owners and their strategic lies and blurring of the truth isn't acceptable.

If my friends did it, I'd be pissed.
Charlton doing it to fans who spend their time, money and passion supporting the club is just as unacceptable.

If we'd been told the truth from the outset, we could have braced ourselves for the rocky ride.

All we want is the truth told to us.

I think we deserve that.

Charlie boy in his early interviews seemed to understand that.  Sadly he said it just to appease us and give him some time to get what he wanted from structuring a deal to acquire CAFC.

Let's hope we get a manager soon.  Get the injured players back and not destroy a very promising bunch of young Charlton players.

I dream of back to back wins.  Goals scored by Daniel Kanu and Miles Leaburn.  I want our Charlton back.   Our Charlton.  

Remember that.

It is ours.

Not theirs.

Yes, exciting times ahead. (Insert emoji of your choice). Just hope the new manager is happy with these players & not asking Scott to get rid of half of them in January. 

It appears only bit of business left is whether Kirk will stay or go before end of the window.
