    May is gone, the important thing is what happens now.  We need someone through the door to lift the squad and the fans, that isn't Godden.  
    We've swapped Alfie May for Godden

    I don't understand

    Godden doesn't fit the profile of striker Jones wants (allegedly) @DubaiCAFC ?   Care to explain?

    If it isn't about money why Godden when May has 20+ goals 3 seasons running?!
    Issue is, agent of May was making other clubs aware that May wasn't happy at Charlton for whatever reason.. May doesn't like Jones style, and wanted to leave.. Jones couldn't and wouldn't guarantee he would be week in week out start. Charlton are getting a good deal, May is getting an even better deal, just feels like it is a good deal for all.

    Godden in my opinion is a good replacement for May, similar type of player and done the goods at a higher-level and is happy to fight for his place. 

    As Ben said in his baking cake statement, let's see where we are at the end of the window.. You have to remember, every single club is battling for players, some will come and some won't that is football for you.. But for me, the profile of players we have signed so far is what we need to be doing, they are a good age, points to prove.   
    From what I was told from a trustworthy source, May was fine to stay and see out his contract at a minimum, and it was Jones decision for him to leave. 

    It would then be the agents job to ask around at who would like to sign his newly available player. You make it sound like the agent made first move, that is not what I was told. 
    So see out his contract and we get nothing next season or cash In for 1m and reinvest in the squad. No brainer
    Get promoted this season with a new defence or sell the leagues best striker to a rival and don’t get promoted, no brainer!
    This doesn’t make sense ?
    I know, selling the leagues best striker to a rival doesn’t make sense, I knew you’d come round eventually.
    No your post didn’t make sense but then you very rarely do. 
    Ouch, bit personal! I simply have a different view to you. All this spin that Alfie is moving to Yorkshire for his wife (now moving to Brum), we can’t turn down the silly money (it’s now not silly money) and he’s the wrong type of player (we’re replacing him with a very similar, but older player) doesn’t wash with a lot of fans. Despite the spin from the ODL (Owners Defence League), from the outside, the clubs looks as if it’s lacking the ambition to secure promotion.
    Tbf none of this came from the club.
    Charlton simply said Jones didn't have to sell anyone and the transfers are down to him. End of.

    Genuine guy. Bet those who slagged him or Nathan Jones off feel like a bit of a tit now. 
    Have a day off, can't hand your notice in and then make a teary eyed video looking sad.

    I didn’t do either so I’m in the clear, but I have sat through enough insincere and inaccurate leaving speeches in my time to not take a footballer’s video as gospel.

    That’s classy. Good luck Alfie.

    Bit of a weird one to record if you think he doesn’t care, when so many just fuck off without saying good bye at all. He’s only been here a year mind and probably didn’t need to do it. But I guess that’s my take on it.

    I loved him playing for us and have no hard feelings towards him.
    But he has gone, the King is dead, long live the King

    Heartfelt message that's for sure.

    Alfie always came across as a great character on the pitch, always giving his all and had a great rapport with us, the fans.

    His leaving message smacks of a genuine guy who needs to do what he needs to in order to keep his family unit happy and whole.

    I wish him well, except for our two games next season of course where I hope he slips in his socks in the warm-up and is out for a week 👍

  • I wonder if that message was filmed when the club thought he was on his way to Huddersfield

    I was led to believe there would be a shit sandwich of signings? All I see is a steaming pile of turd and no second piece of bread to hide it

    By who? Because idle speculation on CL doesn't count

    Idle speculation taken as gospel is what we live for

    Of course you can.
    Have you never had to make a difficult decision in your life?

    Etete is another who’s been mentioned, we were linked with him last summer and he’s a big physical striker, so he also seems a realistic possible signing.

  • I feel for the kids who bought shirts with May on the back, can they get a refund?

    Wouldn’t be at all shocked to see both of them are signed up if Leaburn can’t agree a new contract before the end of the window…

    Especially after he was phoning fans who hadn't renewed season tickets

    Probably Championship bound, but would love for us to go for Karamoko Dembèlè after his release from Brest. Was excellent at Blackpool last season and at 21, has such an upside.

    Did he specify which club?

    Would be excellent but no hope. Birmingham may have the financial resources, otherwise Championship you would think.  

    I see Shoretire left Man Utd, remember someone linking us with him but he will end up Championship or abroad I guess.

    My concern with a forward line of Godden, Leaburn, Ahadme, Aneke and Kanu is not ability, but fitness. Ahadme has spent a fair bit of time out injured in recent season, Godden is 33 and not played as a regular starter for years. We know about Aneke and Leaburn’s issues 

    At least more of them are able to play up front on their own, so in an injury crisis we might be ok. But striker injuries keep derailing our seasons so I think it’s definitely a risk when we are losing a player in May that has a very good fitness record 
    If they're rotated no e of them will get overloaded.
