Charlton Summer Transfer Rumours 2024

Love it, Alfie gets subbed off in a couple games and all of a sudden him and Jones have had a barmy so bad that Alfie can't stomach to be around the club anymore. Don't worry folks, football is on the box again in a few days 

I absolutely love this forum's refusal to ever feel anything other than existential fear. Some decent sounding signings coming in, Jones reiterating that he wants his squad sorted by the end of June? Convince ourselves that Alfie May is joining Huddersfield because he was substituted a couple of times. What we all really, really need is CBT, but not the player.

My old favourite is the (usually justified) cries about the lack of the depth.

Whenever we finally look like having depth and quality in a position (such as Edwards and Small) it immediately switches to two thoughts:

Can we play both in the same team?

Is the longer serving player being sold?

As a fanbase we can struggle with the idea of a backup player being more than a youngster or someone widely agreed to be average at best.

Blimey, thought I was a glass half empty type but some on here have lost all perspective. Don’t believe these unfounded rumours re Alfie.

Question is what’s happened to the Berry & Edward’s deals? thought they were undergoing medicals two days ago.
On Monday afternoon ‘football league world’ posted on my I-pad pop up news that the pair were at Charlton undergoing medicals with deals done, possibly just copied from Cawley,s article.
Edit- Pete O’Rourke posted Berry medical was yesterday

Hopefully all will be announced soon but making news public before signing concerns me, could be agents mischief.

I think Cawley suggested that they were still on their Holidays, and Medicals would be completed upon their return.

Would like to see us take a punt on Chris Conn Clarke

Surprised he's not gone anywhere yet. Still feels like a very very Peterborough signing.

Andy Reid/Lee Tomlin build and type of player. Someone will take a go on him

Tbf some of our fans have issues due to the last 15 years odd which have largely been a clusterf@ck. 
I’m hopeful Alfie stays but I don’t think the suggestions that Alfie and Nathan have issues are wide of the mark. Some players need an arm round the shoulder and others need a kick in the arse. 

If Alfie did leave then I think the only situation it won’t be criticised in is if we get promoted. Anything less and fans will most likely see his departure as a reason for our ‘failing’.

What they don't need is an arm in their arse.

I would be very surprised if we still have one, all the sharks that have owned us since...

As I understand it, the sell on was 20%.
However we won’t be getting all that now because some of it has already been paid for full England cap/caps and 1st team appearances for example.
Not sure how the mathematics work out or if there are any other payments that might have already been paid out and if so what for and how that affects the balance?
Quite a healthy sum coming our way is my guess.🤞🤞🤞

I’d have thought clauses for England caps and appearances for Liverpool are separate from the sell on %?

They are. The sell on % is linked solely to how much Bayern pay Liverpool for Gomez. 

For instance the initial fee they paid to us was 3.5m 

If they sell him for 35m, and we had a 20% of profit sell on clause, it's 20% of 31.5m so 6.3m

If it was a flat 20% sell on fee it would be 7m

Yes, I agree and when I was being told I must admit I couldn’t quite work out what I was being told….sorry about that but that is how I understood it, maybe I have that part of it wrong.
In a way it surely would be good for us if that’s the case, as it would mean more fees coming our way.🤞
