Wasn’t one of the reasons Holden was sacked that he wasn’t playing 4-3-3. Think Scott mentioned it somewhere that he was surprised we had changed system from last seasonScoham said:
I just can’t see it, Appleton has stubbornly stuck with 4-2-3-1/4-3-3. He’s known for playing that way with previous clubs too. With our poor form if it was his preference I’m sure we’d have seen it by now.DubaiCAFC said:

On average about £100k per minute on pitch.ProperCharlton said:How much is Aneke on?23 -
NabySarr said:Ipswich main striker is injured so Ladapo won’t be going anywhere. If they bring in a couple then maybe at the end of the window there’d be a chance but I think it’s unlikely
Unless they get Jay Stansfield and probably another on top of that , they just haven't got the depth to move Ladapo on. Shame because he'd be a good fit for us but I think there's probably other targets above Ladapo.0 -
Don’t know how far down the transfer road Corey is, but this signings might just make him think that staying wouldn’t be such a bad option. He’ll always start at least, and I suspect he’s been offered a decent pay rise to stay.
Same applies to Dobbo, although there is now more competition for places in midfield.0 -
I got told Chuks was on 7k, in comparison its higher than the majority of our team, but lower than a lot of others in the division. Brannagan at Oxford for example is on 8k, some of readings are still on 10k+. I don't think George is being unreasonable, he is without doubt our most consistent playerDubaiCAFC said:
I think they will look to bring another wing back and another CB as well.cantersaddick said:

Noise is now, they are planning for life without CBT and Dobbo, but they won't let them go on the cheap this month, they have figure they want, and they don't have to sell, and both players are happy to stay till the end of the season. Charlton are in a strong position with them both!
The issue is, they both know the figure Chuks is on, and want the same.. Which isn't going to happen. Both deals they have been offered would take them to among the highest paid players in league One.. That tells you how much Chuks is on, and why they can't move him on easily.1 -
Money talks JS, the offer needs to be what they want or very close.0
-
I would say he is on more than that, Brum increased his salary a lot when he left us the first time around, then we offered more again when he come back.. The figure you have mentioned that Chuks is on, is close to what Dobbo been offered.CAFCDAZ said:

That is so shit for them. Another proud club who are probably going to find themselves in league 2 soon.ForeverAddickted said:
May very well be another false dawn for Reading... Read online about a whistleblower within the club, who was claiming that the Reading owner has no interest in selling the club, but instead is going to asset strip.Braziliance said:Yeah Reading have shown some signs of life lately, can't imagine their fans will be best pleased with how their January will now probably pan out. They were looking like they were going to stay up.
Lose all the players on that list and it becomes very tricky.
Only lost on pens 6 seasons ago to reach the prem and finished 7th as well fairly recently.
Hope they can turn it around

That’s the problem, they pushed too hard to get to the prem and the gamble didn’t pay off. Sheffield Wednesday the same. Problem with parachute payments as championship clubs have to spend silly money to try and keep up with them and end up in this position if it doesn’t get them upBraziliance said:

If we’re offering players £7-10k a week in L1 no wonder we want a third of the squad to be academy players.DubaiCAFC said:

I can see the sense in it - better to have a good number of top players for our level than a bigger squad of average players. With the latter you can easily end up rotating two average players. It might give you decent competition for places but you don’t know your best team.3 -

Well if Dobbo and CBT are demanding a contract similar to what Chuks is on then I'm afraid we have to say thanks very much and goodbye.
This is a new era for the club. Things will change. And wage structures of the past dreamt up by chancers and football business inept people should be cast to the bin imo.

Unless our results change it is not a silly comment.DubaiCAFC said:
Silly comment.. not a chance we will get relegatedElfsborgAddick said:
Dobson needs to be kept to help us avoid relegation.DubaiCAFC said:Good signing I believe, and a player to build the future around.. this might be the end of Dobson though, either this window or at the end of the season..
Fair play to the club for going back in for Coventry when look set to sign for Massive
Dobson has been offered 70% pay increase, if he doesn’t want to sign, what can you do..7 -
@CAFCDAZ - would you say the top 1% earners in L1 is probably the same as the very best academy boys at premier league clubs. For example, Rak-Sakyi & the top L1 players are on a similar wage?
0 -
If Dobbo and CBT won't sign, you might as well cash in now rather than let them go for free in the summer. It might be different if we had a serious chance of the play offs, but the season is effectively over.

I wouldn’t care who left us at the moment they are all replaceable. Just look at where we are in the league. Worst team we have had in many years.19
-
All these rumours that Dobson has been offered a massive pay increase are well off the mark ! Dobbo has been offered an increase of around 16% on his current salary and I know this for a fact is why he hasn't signed and his weekly salary is half of what Kirk was being paid. Dobbo doesn't want to leave Charlton as well and loves the club17

Glad you spelled it! Yes he looked very good.Jac_52 said:TEL said:
The big centre forward looked good as did AzeezScoham said:
They had 4 points deducted, add those back on and they’re only 3 behind us in 13th. If they’re keen to sell it’s definitely worth a look to see if we can get a good deal or two. Similar to how we signed BWP so cheaply.AFKABartram said:Reading are a L1 relegation struggling team for a reason. There won’t be many nuggets there.
Yeah Ehibhatioman.. only 20 thought he looked very decent when he came on in both games against us.0 -
Not a chance we will get dragged in to it, once injured players are back, and even if Dobson didn't play another game this season, we still wouldn't go down.ElfsborgAddick said:

Dobson is a good player, but he has never played above a mid of the road league one side.. I wouldn't lose any sleep over him2 -
Are we suggesting that Dobbo is currently on £2500-3000 a week when we are paying Fraser something in the region of £7k?(The stated 70% increase )I'd be pissed off if I was Dobbo if true.2

Valid point but now we look like we are in a position to replace them players with owners spending money. In the Championship the only player that could possibly make the step up right now would be May.Steven81 said:

It's a good salary Dubai but when you've put blood sweat and tears into the shirt over the last few years and shirkers like Kirk are on alot more plus injured players and newly arriving players of course you will want close to parity it's the same for any worker.12

Coupled with you can bet your life that Coventry will be trousering 10k a week upwards.Steven81 said:It's a good salary Dubai but when you've put blood sweat and tears into the shirt over the last few years and shirkers like Kirk are on alot more plus injured players and newly arriving players of course you will want close to parity it's the same for any worker.
Dobson has been our stand out player and without him we'd be in more s*** than we already are.
You keep your best players.9 -
I get it from Dobbo point of view, but the club will not pay over the odds now.. We now have a number of good midfielders at the club, and a few that can grow in to the same role that Dobson plays.. He has been offered a good deal, and the club will not offer silly deals like they did in the past to get deals over the line..Steven81 said:It's a good salary Dubai but when you've put blood sweat and tears into the shirt over the last few years and shirkers like Kirk are on alot more plus injured players and newly arriving players of course you will want close to parity it's the same for any worker.

I give him credit for not telling it like it is and that we are basically suffering from crackpot ownerships of the past making it up as they went along.0 -
I agree to some extent but the proof is In the pudding, we should be strengthening around our best players not replacing them.CBT has 14 goal contributions in 25 league games unless we are replacing him with Ryan Giggs what's the point of the merry go round we've signed one promising player which is a great start but it's like last year we never replaced rak sakyi and now rely on everything down one wing predictable and will be in same situation every season if we don't keep our best players.Dannoo_86 said:Valid point but now we look like we are in a position to replace them players with owners spending money.

If Dobbo goes, and eventually returns to play against us for somebody, I hope I won’t be the only fan to stand and give him heartfelt applause and welcome.

Dobson has no interest in him ATM. If I was him, I would take the deal that has been offered.. It is big increase. But he may also be worried about playing time, especially with the club showing ambition.ElfsborgAddick said:
