Can’t see us signing him but Jed Steer is available again.

If he's still as good as he was last time we had him he'd be a good addition. AMB or Isted would have to leave though, I imagine.Scoham said:Can’t see us signing him but Jed Steer is available again.

Got to feel for Reading, this is taking the piss. 75k for a player who has a marker value of over a million..5 -
Might not be morally right, but I’d like us to go for a couple of Reading players.
At the end of the day, we need to survive and if that means signing a player or two from Reading who are just below us, so be it.
Smith would improve us and weaken them, helping our chance of survival.
I am a Charlton supporter, not Reading. It’s not nice to see any club in any trouble, as we all well know!
But I’m not here for the “you can’t sign their players because they’re struggling and going through it”. No. If they’re a player who will improve us and we can sign them, you do it no matter who they play for.44 -
Agree, we did exactly that when we signed BWP. Might not have won L1 the following season had we missed out.Sage said:Might not be morally right, but I’d like us to go for a couple of Reading players.

I think Methven talked about it on his podcast and made the point that if we don’t another club will.3 -
Reading would do the same to us if the roles were reversed.29

And teams have done in the past … Knibbs would be one we should get perhaps Smith but I think we’re looking at other targets now Aneke could be on the bench Saturday ?ValleyBen said:Reading would do the same to us if the roles were reversed.0 -
We took Herman from Ipswich in that way, outside of a transfer window.Sage said:Might not be morally right, but I’d like us to go for a couple of Reading players.

I liked the look of Azzeez.2

Wasn’t it Reading that took Yann from us ?ValleyBen said:Reading would do the same to us if the roles were reversed.

Sam Smith, Harvey Knibbs and Femi Azeez would all be very good signings, we should be jumping at the chance to sign them below market value2

Bournemouth, he went to Reading later.letthegoodtimesroll said:

Point still stands though, it wasn't Bournemouth's fault we sold them Kermorgant cheaply, or Liverpool's with Gomez, or Birmingham when they got Morrison for free.
Or the fault of any of the clubs who've got a free transfer from us like Sarr, Bauer etc because we were in too much of a mess to be a decent club to stay at.
I feel sorry for Reading fans, but if they're being sold cheaply anyway then we're not being noble by not taking a look, we're being naive.9 -
no he left us for Bournemouth.letthegoodtimesroll said:

Knibbs and Azeez both wingers aren't they? Haven't we set ourselves up with no wingers, not sure they will be considered.
Smith is decent and if cheap is certainly worth picking up, as Sage says he would improve us and weaken them.
Vickers is the jewel of their squad, not necessarily for the short term but certainly another Peterborough type signing - kid with a very high ceiling.
Tyler Bindon maybe worth a punt if cheap.
The issue is Reading will want as much cash upfront as possible where I get the impression our larger outgoings are trying to be structured by little upfront and large sell on clauses.1 -
The next 37 hrs and 37 minutes will be crucial.13

Doesn’t the window close 11 pm on Thursday night ?JamesSeed said:The next 37 hrs and 37 minutes will be crucial.5 -
Oh
So the next 37 hours and 30 minutes will be interesting, but not crucial.19 -

But it does assume the Reading player would want to move from one unstable club to another? Also, one relegation battle to another.
A bit like JCH, our bid might be accepted but it could be a waste of time and effort.2 -
What's unstable about the club right now, compared to Reading? It's a world of difference wondering if you'll even be paid or not, or wondering what manager will be in chargemendonca said:But it does assume the Reading player would want to move from one unstable club to another?

We're not an unstable club, we're just a bit rubbish. We've spent a fair bit this window already and there's no indication there's any financial trouble looming. We're just reaping the rewards of some middling player recruitment and a bad manager choice and we can fix up both of those things if we get stuff right in the next couple of days. Get in a good manager, win a few games and it'll all be talk about next season and building.mendonca said:But it does assume the Reading player would want to move from one unstable club to another?

Beat Reading and Lincoln, which we really should with a new manager bounce and lift in confidence and we should be looking okay to start planning and building for next season. Lose to Reading and we should be very very worried.9 -
It seems we're focusing on the definition of 'unstable' and applying it to the same depths of Reading. I would say we are unstable in the sense that this current Ownership is likely to fail and its details are not firmly established. You could also say our Managerial situation is rather unstable and has been for some time. We also have a Broker, who is just the broker one minute, but then a part owner the next.
In fact the theme of Airman's article could be deemed to be the lack of stability, even with the current regime.
Personal view, not here for a 4 page ding dong.3 -
Were not unstable at all we now have owners in who have a good structure and more important money .. I would say this is the most stable this club been off the pitch since Richard Murray .. ( not his last few years of course )mendonca said:But it does assume the Reading player would want to move from one unstable club to another? Also, one relegation battle to another.

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?
Did methven actually invest anything ? I thought he was gifted 5% as payment for "putting the deal together" ?1 -
Well somethings not right. Look where we are for F---s sake, if that's stable!!RonnieMoore said:
