Meanwhile, local Bristol reporter says we are still in the race. Suspect that might be being used by Bristol to try and squeeze more out of Bolton though?

Us in for Collins and them back in for Clarke-Harris?0

Good shout, but,Athletico Charlton said:Said it before but Max Dean at MKDons. Should have got him at the start of the window. They are talking £1M now and that will go up imo.
Looks a carbon copy of Alfie May to me. Imagine two of them upfront, any defence we played against would be exhausted by the running and constant chat and shithousery by the pair.
He is only 19 I think so would be the long term successor.
A very "Peterborough" type signing.. will probably go higher now though
No thanks0 -
Bit of a no brainer for Collins if Bolton are in for him too. A team chasing automatic promotion, and indeed the L1 title, versus a team looking over their shoulders at the relegation places.2

I hope the non employees pay for their own plane/train/taxi expenses when travelling up north for matches, as well as their accommodation and meals/refreshments.CafcWest said:
The three in bold are employees and presumably on reasonable salaries and/or performance related pay. Methven is an investor (owner) with (alledgedly) less thatn 5% so is probably in it for a return at some point. Elliott and Gavin Carter are both non-exec directors so either unpaid or, most likely, on relatively small retainers plus expense. Not sure about Leneghan as not mentioned on the CAFC website under owners/staff.seth plum said:Because I am obsessive about Charlton Athletic.
I am pretty sure Methven will forgive me given his Theology degree and obsession for Oxford United.
Here is a question floated by several, but not yet answered.How much money per month or per year, including expenses, do Methven, Rodwell, Scott, Warrick, Leneghan, Eliot (and any other obvious ones I have forgotten) get out of the club, and does it represent good value for our legion of billionaire owners, or will we wake up one day deep in debt without the VAT and other taxes paid?1 -
No because he shows some passion after winning a derby game? We haven't won our derby since 1996 lol.Braziliance said:

He plays for MK Dons it's a huge derby for them, he was barely born when Wimbledon were moved to MK. That situation will always be a disgrace to football but turning our noses up at a promising 19 year old kid because he is happy the team he plays for has won is a bit silly4 -

I'm not that unhinged 😂3 -
We could be set for a very interesting deadline day if we can lure Jones and, he gets given a bit of freedom in the transfer market.
Be nice to have an exciting January deadline day, Lord knows we need some excitement again. (That was for you Nathan Jones mate)4 -
Injured you say? Andy Scott do your stuff !Croydon said:
He's injured currently and out of contract in the summerScoham said:
Any idea why’s he’s been made available? And why he hasn’t played much for them?Callumcafc said:Jeremy Ngakia at Watford was the last name put out there in the last couple of days I believe.
But if we’re looking for someone to play that wing back position, there’s someone who’s just been made available by Derby and I think we should be in for.

So this comment can stay yet I prove that I did not make anything up and it’s deleted .. it would be only right that this incorrect statement from Swisdom be removed as it been proved that we did make 700 k bidSwisdom said:

£600k bid from Bolton rejected for Aaron Collins , Rovers wanting closer to £1m0 -
We no longer have wingers so we absolutely have to get an attacking midfielder, a 10, for either 352 or diamond. Without that we will be toothless.
I suspect that is what is holding the Fraser move up.3 -

We already have Dobbo, Coventry, Bakinson plus Camara, McGrandles and Taylor to come back. Not counting Fraser or Anderson, that gives 8 options to play in midfield already!0 -
Nothing new in this as far as I can tell - says we want to “hijack” Bolton’s move for Collins.

Ali Al-Hamadi has joined Ipswich. Gutted for Jacko on that one.2

To be fair he should be ok being brought on after the sixty minute mark, at least less likely to be injured than if he starts. You can’t really affect games very often if you’re only given ten minutes.Covered_End_Lad said:
If we use him properly and only bring him on for 15 mins per game he should be okay, the last few times he has broken down its because we decided to start him in games. Just accept he is a 10-15 minute impact player and use him solely as that.Elthamaddick said:
sadly that's unlikely to happen (him staying fit for 5/6 games)BigRedEvil said:
Aneke back will be huge, no coincidence when he was fit we had out best run of form for the season.. He can hold the ball up, bring others into it and also create chances for himselfsam3110 said:I want another wingback and a 10, and if I'm greedy a new target man striker, however I'd also take Aneke coming back and being that man from the bench, as long as we don't try and start him in any games
If he can stay fit for 5/6 games it'll be enough to keep us away from relegation0 -
If we had more strength in attack, that would have been a great loan destination for Kanu.Callumcafc said:Ali Al-Hamadi has joined Ipswich. Gutted for Jacko on that one.3 -
Need to move some on if we can. I wouldn’t call Watson a 10, wouldn’t want to rely on Fiorini or those getting back from injury either.killerandflash said:

For 3-5-2 or a diamond to work we need a goalscorer in the midfield and to strengthen at wing back.
Ideally I’d like another physical striker too so Aneke isn’t relied on.1 -
Wing Back feels the most crucial to get right if we are going to be playing 352 long term , not convinced Tennai and Edun are the answers. Need to find players more in the Matssen,JDS, Wiggins ilk.29

Speaking of attacking wingbacks, Bolton bring in Calvin Ramsey on loan from Liverpool.0 -
They did a very good job of developing Bradley for them so makes sense.1

Florini was a mistake I think, doesn’t really offer us anything different and the manager he followed round has gonekillerandflash said:

Fiorini feels like we had to take someone else to get out of how much we were paying for Tedic so took someone the manager already knew, hopefully he gets fit quickly and shows a lot more then he has so far.5

Fiorini is very highly thought of and although he’s not going to be fit for some weeks I think the club are hoping to be in a position to sign him in the summer. Don’t write off Fiorini just yet.ValleyBen said:Fiorini feels like we had to take someone else to get out of how much we were paying for Tedic so took someone the manager already knew, hopefully he gets fit quickly and shows a lot more then he has so far.8 -
Jonathan Panzo has just signed for Standard Liege on loan from Nottingham Forest
He's definitely destined to play for us in the future then8 -

The match thread on the Blackpool site they were saying how fortunate they were he wasn't starting so I make you right and hope our fans give him time8 -
Of all the midfielders we have, Fraser is the only with with a track record of scoring goals as a 10. Most of the rest are either dross- McGrandles, unproven -Bakinson and Fiorini, injury prone-Camara, defensive-Coventry, Taylor and Dobson, or not quite good enough- L Watson.Scoham said:

We need a proper10, and dump most of the above as fast as possible.9
