We've seen it all before Hales, Lee, Barness, Minto, Bowyer, Parker, etc etc ..... we sell to reinvest ..... it just the cycle of football players. Nothing new here.5

Reading some of the comments you'd think we had sold him, real overreaction to some naff chat about a supposed bid from Huddersfield, and all of a sudden it's a done deal, classic stuff...🙄red10 said:Away currently, not followed the thread in detail. Have we actually sold Alfie or not? Thanks.6 -
Thanks for all this K&F. Very helpful as the possibility of losing May seems to inch ever closer...killerandflash said:Of the promoted teams, Pompey were the only one with a 20+ goal scorer, showing that a 20 goal scorer isn't essential for success, if the team as a whole scores freely. And can actually defend.
Derby County's top scorer (James Collins) got 14. Their next highest got 9 and 6. They still ended up with 78 goals, to our 64. Oxford's highest was Harris with 15, followed by Brannigan with 13. They scored 79 goals as a team.
Meanwhile in L2, of the top 3 scorers, Mullin scored 24 for promoted Wrexham, but Langstaff scored 28 for Notts County, who ended up fading to 14th and Matt Smith scored 24 for Salford, who finished 20th.0 -
Every club in the country balances the books.. hence why Chelsea are offering 8 year contracts. As someone who has played with and against Alfie at youth level, no way do I want him to leave. But as a business, if NJ feels he can use the transfer fee to an advantage, I’ll back him, but time will tell…RonnieMoore said:
Balance the books ?? they don’t need to do that this is NJ decision to makeSheikhYurKory said:If the money for May balances the books and we are able to get a younger, more saleable asset in, along with improving the current squad, I’m not adverse.2 -
I can't believe NJ would have the decision over whether May stays. Its obv he wants him (NEEDS him) If the owners cash in, I think NJ will consider his position as he was promised the owners were here to BUILD not sell the quality
What next ~ Leaburn and Small in the January? We have already lost our captain and arguably our best player...
Not even the marquee signing of Mannion ("chuckle") can soften the blow if we let Alfie go.0 -

Spot on.ShootersHillGuru said:Only at Charlton. Finally we manage to get a striker who actually knows how to strike and is happy to stay and we decide he’s not exactly what we want. It’s not even as if we’re going to get oodles of money for him either. The goals he guarantees would cost more than we can afford to replace. Utter, utter madness.0 -
If he goes then it needs to be to a team that aren’t likely to challenge in L1, ideally he’d go to a different division.
Selling to a club like Huddersfield is madness.1 -
Some of the reaction to this news is madness.
An analysis that apparently proves Devante friggin Cole is better than May.
Others taking out May's penalties to demote him to 17 goals last season.
Do some people actually understand football?
He scored 27. He's scored 20 a season for the last three seasons. He's also more than a goalscorer - he's a talisman who delivers when it matters. We've had a handful of them in the 40 years I've supported Charlton.
Huge huge gamble by NJ if true.

2.5 million, to a championship club only.LTKapal said:Let's ask a different question, playing devil's advocate, what price would you accept for may?2 -
First time on this evening and thought we’d landed a big fish with the amount of comments!
Not sure I share the outrage or surprise!The writing on the wall was in bold font and luminous letters from the moment NJ lost it with him about his role in game, May turned around and started arguing back, then continued to ignore the instruction. Was subbed about 10 mins later.1 -

I have also heard that it’s exclusive but I don’t know what the criteria is to attain that status?1 - Sponsored links:

Gloss it up how you want but selling May would be a massive decision (mistake imo). Top scorer in the league and missed a few games with injury - don't understand this one bit. If your way of playing don't fit around the best goal scorer in the league then maybe change the way you play? Double the amount of pressure on Jones if this goes through.1

I seem to have dropped into the Alfie May thread somehow instead of the rumours thread.
so I’ll invent my own rumour.Berry and Edward’s have both passed a medical at cafc, however they have not committed to sign yet and are believed to be considering offers from rival clubs.
Hope we get these two but the above is always a possibility.
Note to self - must get the plastic bedsheet out of storage.0 -
PWADDICK said:Would be mental selling the leagues best goal scorer, but in Jones we trust!I did but I'm beginning to wonder. Bringing in Cambridges second string keeper & calling him experienced & now the rumours that he's looking to unload the divisions top scorer in a shit team is just utter madness2

Or Harry Kane & Haaland, neither option is very likelyCallumcafc said:
What if we used the money to go and get Matt Godden and Kion Etete, for example?ElliotCAFC said:
Jones has almost exclusively played two up front his whole career, and one could infer from our business and rumours that he’s looking to play 3-5-2 again this season.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
It's a fair point. Yes you could easily argue Jones should play a formation that suits May (ie. 2 up front) but if he has had success in his career playing a different way or thinks we're better playing 433, 4231 etc then it's his call. Managers live and die by their decisions, and this would be a very big one.ElliotCAFC said:There’s simply no excuse to sell Alfie May. If you can’t make him work in your team then the team is set up wrong
Alfie May has scored 20+ goals for 3 seasons in a row, winning the Golden Boot last season. Selling him to a promotion rival is simply bad business whatever way you want to look at it.0 -
I’m not in the jones we trust camp right now, too many poor performances at the back end of the year (I loved Powell and was sold even in his dire stage, bias!) but if this is true it’s a massive gamble for him, May seems a true leader which is something we lacked last year, looks to enjoy playing for us, gets us and is a bloody good striker. We ain’t tempting a championship striker in to replace him6
-
Seriously how much would we get for Alfie ? Yes the divisions leading scorer, say 500k (& we wouldn't get that) could we really revamp our forward line with that ? & if we were willing to splash the cash would say a decent championship striker want to come to this basket case of a club. It's just madness but this is what we've become, a basket case.mendonca said:For me, the fee will be the key factor here (esp as Cheltenham are rumoured to have a sell on clause in place). It's clear that there's some disconnect between Jones and May.
If we could revamp our forward line with the fee, I'd probably be happy. He's 30 now and if we can recoup and replough the transfer fee, maybe it could be good business. On the flip side, losing Dobson and May who were our only players worth watching last season might hurt! Hard to conclude without knowing the details and also potential calibre of replacement.5 -
Some of these reactions over Alfie May are so over the top and ridiculous. It really proves people will say absolutely anything to get their point across about how good a player is or isn't.
If he moves to Huddersfield, I'll be supporting Huddersfield next season.
