Carlton Morris would quite literally be the perfect player for us. He is everything Nathan Jones wants in a striker.
If there was any player we were willing to break the bank over, it should be him. Great role model for our young forwards and would allow us to protect Godden a bit who can't be expected to play all 46. You have those two as options in the champ and you're laughing.
The kind of signing if we make you can start to feel a bit more confident about the upcoming season. Unfortunately I think he will well be out of our range.
Scored 8 in 41 appearances last year, is he any good?
More to his game than goals, he would enable the rest of the team. Ball sticks with him, hard to defend against physically. It's also the experience that comes with him, a player that's been there and done it in the champ, no half measures.
We need a bit of physicality up top and he would fit that role. Being blunt that's my dream forward signing for this season within reason.
Would cost about 5 million minimum and the rest though.
What's this number based on?
Depends what database you use. Some have him down as 5 million (transfermarkt, capology) some as high as 15 million (fotmob).
I'd say based on the market he's worth around that minimum. 29 years old, prem experience, championship proven, English, under contract, etc.
You know you have one of the most powerful information tools in your hands. Could always just search yourself rather than ask me who is just reading off of a page.
You must be the most thin-skinned poster in the history of Charlton Life. I was just asking where you'd seen that valuation and what it was based on, I don't think it's an unreasonable question. Morris is a weird one because there are no other recent bids teams have made that I could find to give a ballpark figure and Luton were deliberately vague about his contract extension in 2023 so while I've seen his contract might end in 2027 it seems to be a guess. Transfermarkt is good for some stuff but their valuations are pretty random at times. They have Ethan Galbraith listed as being valued at about £500,000 for instance. They've got Morris around £4.7m but you don't know when that was last updated and I doubt they've taken into account how badly relegation has affected their finances because they can't possibly know that. I'm not familiar with Capology, I've just had a look and it seems to be a website that guesses players' salaries - 'All salary figures are estimates and do not represent official figures'. I didn't see a valuation for him, I'm not sure where to look for that, but it did say his contract expires on 30th June 2025 so maybe not the most up to date page. Fotmob has him listed at 15m euros, which is about £12.8m, but clearly that's just evidence that these sites aren't very up to date because I doubt many teams are valuing a 29 year old L1 player who scored 8 goals last season at that. I was just wondering if you'd seen something that said what Luton valued him at but you're using random websites that guess. That's fine, maybe he will go for £5m but it's not exactly ridiculous to ask where these numbers come from is it?
I'm 'thin-skinned' because I've given you an answer, then I've reminded you that you have Google in your hands, and you've decided to go on a tangent?
Makes sense I suppose.
I mean, you're thin-skinned because it seems like every other day you're having some kind of crash out on here because someone tried to engage you in a discussion on the discussion forum. I asked where you got your information from because I was interested to see if you'd seen something I hadn't about Morris, and then just pointed out that the sites you're using are guesswork sites. That's not a tangent, it's directly relevant. I do have Google in my hands but I'm not daft enough to think Transfermarkt or Fotmob are a good indicator of player value
But again, if you truly believed that, you could have just searched for it.
Either way you got your virtual likes which is what you set out to do from my perspective, just like other people do when they try and grief RonnieMoore & Golfie, or whoever else becomes a bit of a running gag and easy to make fun of.
Come on, get with the game. You're meant to rush onto AI and state "Braziliance said Carlton Morris will cost between £5m-£15m, please could you tell me the sources that he found this figure from please and towards the lower end". Please don't cause offence by asking directly.
Another really bizarre reaction.
Any chance of a mod clearing up the petty posts? Meant to be grown adults on here and people appear to be desperate for some keyboard warrior antics.
what a ridiculous statement, this site is full of petty posts and that is all part of a forum so get off your high horse Mr/Ms/Mrs/Mx Braziliance, I'm sure the mods have better things to do
It wasn't a statement, it was a suggestion to clean up the thread.
I'm also not on a high horse. Just getting a bit fed up of online behaviour. No one is like this at games or in person, or even any other Charlton based social media, unless you are a massive tosser.
Could be deemed offensive and it's a bit unnecessary towards the end there again. You know my name, you know I am a bloke, so you're either questioning my gender over the manner I post in, which again, is another very odd post, or, you're implying I am acting like a woman because my posts could be deemed sensitive?
Would you be this rude outside of your 4 walls, or is this type of comment exclusive to a Charlton forum?
Good article from Rich Cawley’s Substack this morning. No new names mentioned but a good overview of where we are likely looking to strengthen and a recap of some of the credible rumours put out there so far.

Hopefully Golfie reads the part about systems and not strikers getting the job done in the championship the last couple of seasons 😉.

Grown adults. Unbelievable.
I hope cafc can get into the habit of signing good players with decent stats 🙏🏻
I'm sorry you lost your Job at Tranmere Nigel, but have a lovely walk 🚶🏻♂️ and enjoy Nature 🌳
We’re also unsure if Carlton Morris has a twin.
Carlton Morris does have a twin who was born just after him 🤔
Morris Minor.
Plus he has a sister who's in show business ?
Morris Dancer.
