Deadline Day from Pg.641 - Summer 2025 Charlton Athletic Transfer Rumours

With the amount of games he's played (even though past few years have been at a higher level), im not convinced Burke would come in as part of starting 11.

Burke makes sense from what was described but it’s not obvious where he fits in if he’s going to be a regular starter. I don’t like the idea of Ramsay moving to RWB, I think we need more attacking threat on that side if we’re sticking with Edwards at LWB.

We do need another LWB though, and it’ll be interesting to see if we go for a similar player to Edwards or someone more attacking.

Hopefully he’s not a replacement for Ramsay being sold.

I know we need depth, but I can’t imagine Burke coming in on a decent wage to be back up for our two best players last season in Ramsay and Jones.

Ramsay played 9 games at wingback last season, won MOTM at Rotherham, Bolton and Birmingham was only pipped to it at Wigan with Jones late goal and even though we lost was our best player at Reading. Just because he’s not this speedster flying wingback who can dribble past 10x players doesn’t mean he’s not a good wingback option. Id prefer him at cb as well but he’s already a better wingback then anyone we can bring in, if in the transfer market we feel we can get a better RCB than RWB then you do that and move Ramsay to RWB or vice versa we find a better RWB than RCB we keep Ramsay at RCB. Wherever you put him he’s automatically the best player in that position

Is someone signing this afternoon?

Wouldn't expect any announcements/press releases from anywhere today after the tragic Jota news.

Defender. 

May not be announced then.

We're going to play Alfie in defence now are we....?

Interesting that Norwich are still owed money from
Sheff Wed for Famewo .. looks the deadline for payment was missed last week 

I seem to remember Ramsay being very strong and willing as a runner taking the ball forward last season.... maybe not taking people on per se.

Ramsay is quick and can dribble past players, but his strengths are defending over adding width and crosses. The issue for me is we need balance in the team, a GK, 5 natural defenders and a defensive midfielder doesn’t give us that.

However if it’s not Burke perhaps it’s a wing back (either side) or a left footed CB. That would be more logical to me.

Wonder if it’s Offiah? Or has he been confirmed by Preston?

Not Burke apparently. 

He is keeping very tight lipped and I have used my two guesses.
I was hoping that the genuine ITKs would know.

It's time. 

Boris Becker!!

We don’t need to be that and we won’t be that either. It will be much the same as last season where we keep a tight ship and build from there. I think we are going to be quite the shithouse team and I can’t wait, bring it on. For once we will play Smallwall at their own game!

Will you be taking up your usual spot hiding behind the bushes alongside the Metrogas pitches?

Ive heard it might be Brad Hills, I really hope so

Now that would be a great signing... surely not a perm?

Thought he was good for Stockport last season. Was on loan from Norwich and they have signed a couple of centre halves this window so pushing him down the pecking order. Wouldn’t be adverse to him signing.
