Going back to Apter I just watched his goals from his time at Tranmere.
He's really got the potential to be one of those who gets you off your seat. As direct and JBG - he gets the ball and his instinct is to bear down on goal.
And I love that he appears to be a bit of a cocky little shit too - not afraid to give it to the opposition fans. I have the equivalent of a Fanny Tingle I think
So are you saying similar in style and temperament as John Robinson?
To grow into a role and become a fan’s favorite.
Wonder if he will give the years and service Robinson gave Charlton?

Probably with a bit more skill in fairness. But yes he could have a Robbo persona and confidence
Haven't seen anything mentioned about him for a while but does anyone know what happened with Famewo? We were quite heavily linked and as far as i'm aware he hasn't signed anywhere else yet.

Very unlikely to happen now .. so reports said yesterday
My son tells me his socials are suggesting the charlton shop at bluewater was shut this afternoon because apter was filming his signing promo there. No idea id true, guess we find out tomorrow
DKD might be a bit of stretch now, unless Barnsley have really reduced the asking price
Think it's always been a stretch tbh We've either got the money to buy players at that price or we haven't be interesting to see the fees if we do get another one or two in if their around the apter range or maybe slightly more,I'd say if it was dkd that would be it for signings that are not loans maybe but as ever they might surprise us.
NJ is like Curbs he wants players that he knows, or that are hungry and will be grateful for the chance to play for us. At Saints and Stoke, the players didn't buy into his mania, they probably thought he wasn't good enough to behave like he does to them.

I think this is absolutely on the money. NJ needs full buy in from everyone to make his methods work. I can easily see him being laughed out the room or " who does this guy think he is" by PL players.
if we get aptor his song has to be velocaraptor by kasabian. it's a no brainer.
we've got rob apter He's gonna find ya! He's gonna kill ya! He's gonna beat ya! You're on the outskirts Of his kingdom So keep your head down! he's robert hes robert apter
Hopefully Apter turns out to be the real deal but you never know if mentally young players can handle the step up. Charlie Kirk was touted as a real talent & flopped so it’s a lot of money to pay for a gamble. This could either be an inspired signing or another flop but I guess they must be confident & see him as worth the gamble.
Keeping my fingers crossed that he becomes a Charlton success story !

Charlie Kirk was an extraordinarily low tempo , flimsy footballer . Apter looks the opposite . Good mantra though - you never know how any player will work out . Biggest positive so far is we haven’t signed anyone from Ipswich
Kirk just didn’t seem to want to be here he spent anytime he had on the pitch waving his arms and blaming others for his bad passes. That shows a bad attitude and one thing I think we can be sure of is we ain’t signing players with bad attitudes under NJ. Yes nobody knows how a transfer will work out but I’m sure the ones that don’t won’t be down to lack of effort

As long as we can see he cares, needs to be given time to settle in. If NJ has thought he’s worth it that’s good enough for me

The fact that this managerial team managed to recruit a squad that gained promotion should give us greater hope, but all recruitment is a risk. Just look at Ahadme, they still got that one wrong, but the hit rate is so much higher now, I’m sure in part with decent coaching and tactical intelligence. The fact we talk about a NJ type of player tells me the manager sees mental toughness as an important factor as their technical skill. The exact opposite of what Kirk is, talented but flaky. Wasn’t he from the era of the ‘black box’ and Sandgaard’s son getting involved.

Let’s hope so.

He's gonna find ya!

Of his kingdom
So keep your head down!

Derby paying in excess of £7m on a forward from US...and Norwich sold one and potentially selling another for combined total of approx. £35m!
I think Watford's potential signing of Nestory Irankunda for £2.5m (50% sell-on fee!) is a great signing. Absolutely rapid tricky winger!
Hadnt really worn it much.
