Charlton Summer Transfer Rumours 2024

If he isn't already, I think Small should be looking seriously at our offer of an extended contract.

The guy thinks he is something he ain't, and he'd better get a shift on and sort out this contract fiasco asap, 'cos I can't see Nathan hanging around much longer before he gets rid...🙄

I wasn't at the game last night but posters who were seem unanimous in their opinion of Small's poor performance. That performance may mean nothing but it may add to the feeling that Small is probably looking at his next move, which he surely believes is higher up the pyramid, his problem is to whom and it's probably a problem for Charlton as to when. I don't think it's in anyone's interest to have a player in the squad who is not committed and with the window closing in 16 days time we need to move him on now but once again it's about finding the right buyer. I also think that he is good enough to grace a top championship side or even lower half Premiership but Thierry needs to be playing, not bench warming.

Yes, I think he very much wants everyone to be on his club bus. Not that you're suggesting it but I don't think he'd throw out the baby with the bathwater if Small isn't on his bike......... he kept Dobson from going as he knew he needed him.

Are you saying he deliberately played poorly?
For the life of me, I can’t see why he would do that if he’s looking to get a significant move lined up.
There were quite possibly a few scouts at last night’s game…..in which case he can’t possibly have done himself any favours.🧐

We really going to write off our best player from second half of last season because of a couple of misplaced passes and heavy touches in a Carabao Cup game? It’s honestly ridiculous 

He was getting into good positions but his execution was poor. It was his first competitive match since April. I’m prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one

I thought Dixon was a winger/striker with pace and skill, not a creative playmaker type to play in the midfield 3?

From the very small amount of clips that I've seen of Dixon, he looks very raw & unlikely to be effective for us ..................... YET

Nathan Jones has been relieved of his duty as Manager.

We needed a rumour so I gave one. Like all rumours it doesn’t need to be truthful. 

Quite comfortable with seeing Ness moved on after seeing Zack Mitchell play again. Think Mitchell is a bit ahead of him physically and a lot more assured. I'd have Ness down as a league 2 player now, whereas I think Mitchell could do well at this level given the chance. 

Edun needs to go, a really poor signing. Imagine he's on fairly decent wages as well and he's arguably the worst full back at the club, I can see why he didn't make the grade at Blackburn. 

It might be controversial, but I think Kanu, TC and Anderson could have all done with a loan. Kanu is giving me Josh Davison vibes. I think he's been thrown in a bit early due to injuries and having inadequate cover. His energy and work rates have allowed him to exist in the side, but his quality isn't of a good league 1 player yet imo, think he needs a loan.

I feel the same way about TC and Anderson, TC has flair and Anderson has a great engine, but both lack that bit of quality expected from a club who hope to be a top6 league one side. They're still young and should be starting week in week out at a lower level to find themselves, I like them all but I think this is a level beyond atm, compared to say Leaburn who when he plays, league 1 defenders actually look a bit scared and weary of him.

Still frustrating we haven't managed to move Fraser on, massive waste of wages.

I can't see this transfer window adding too much now tbh, I can't see us shelling out on strikers so our best hope is a midfielder with some goal scoring quality about him. Those are hard to find at this level though so Jones may have to take a serious look at a loan.

Oh… article makes it sound challenging 

English Football Association’s (EFA) work permit regulations state that a player looking to join an English club must have played 75 per cent of his national team’s competitive games over the last two years.

That nation also has to maintain a top 50 FIFA ranking on average over that two-year period.

TOP 50

Jamaica currently sit 59th in the FIFA world ranking and have not broken into the top 50 since 2020 when they climbed to 47th.

However, they have fluctuated between 53rd and their current standing over the last two years

Dixon get's extra credit for playing in the Copa America I believe

So it's a "rumour" you just decided to make up, great!!

Well……..”someone” has to be the first to start the process.

Not sure any striker would do well with absolutely zero service .  

Campbell had a golden opportunity to score and completely f****d it

I get what you say and not disagreeing but some of it has to be about striker anticipation and body positioning........ doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out 'there's a long diagonal ball coming my way in a minute'........
