Feels like things are shaping up really nicely and good to see that we're going to make a good go of it and not just make up the numbers this year1

Is that meme with Donald Trump wearing the “let’s make Charlton great again” cap still about…tickled me the 1st time…😂DA9 said:3 -
Always good to sign a striker who knows where the goal is, esp if he was the League's top goalscorer last season.
No idea how or where he will fit in, but that job is down to Nathan. But at least we've moved on from thinking we were only an injury away from having to play Hylton or Ahadme.
Welcome Charlie boy.4 -
"Nathan Jones is having a party
Bring us Knibbs and a Charlie"14 -
1 week ago I posted on here that I didn’t believe that we were really in for Charlie Kelman.
I also said that I didn’t think that Charlie was a Nathan Jones type of player.
Well today’s announcement just shows how much I know.
Sorry Charlie for ever doubting you.
Looking at the YouTube clip where it shows every goal he scored for Orient last season, It really shows that with the right service he is a superb finisher.
Let us hope that our team can also provide the service to him, and Charlie can be as lethal for us as he was for the O’s.
Welcome to the Addicks.

What’s changed?
Charlie leaving and a change in philosophy or the owners on a high from Wembley still and getting caught up in the Wrexham style dream?0 -

It does seem like it's all coming together.
Some of the very best players in League One, stiffened with experienced Championship signings.
My only concern - added to a promoted team, there's quite a lot of new signings with no experience of this division, a bit like playing too many raw youth players together in the 1st team.
But, hey-ho ...... it's all very promising.

even if we did go down, you would put us as one of the favourites to come straight back up, good chance of keeping the majority of the players who have all done well at league one level.
this is a team for the future not just for now potentially1 -

I believe the plan would always have been to spend more once we arrived in the Championship.5 -
Mays, Hearn, Wellens, Slade, Linfieldos, your boys took one hell of a beating!!18

Wembley was an eye opener for them. Not so much the performance, but the level of support made them realise just how much potential existed for the clubvalleynick66 said:What’s changed?

I suspect you correct there. They would have looked around Wembley listening to the noise knowing that we could have sold more tickets !queensland_addick said:

This ownership group has ambition and for once for us the funds to make it happen without bullshit so we need to keep showing them what they are investing in11 -
I said that the medical was late on Friday so could not get it done and dusted until yesterday morning ..Chippycafc said:Heard he had a medical on Friday but waited to find out. Apparently good mates with Godden.
Welcome Charlie. Good to see the owners stepping up with some cash too. We must stay in this division.2 -

I said it would be a Sunday morning announcement because one of the other 7 signings was the same ?

Oh yes. That is proper good news to wake up to. Get Knibbs in as well and there's both quality and energy added to this attacking line up. A few comments about partnership with Godden, but most excited about partnership with Leaburn.1

Lot of pressure on NJ after all this spending, to make it all come together and work.
The board and owners have shown a lot of faith and quite rightly after achieving promotion, much bigger test this upcoming season.
Fingers crossed it all seamlessly falls into place. Certainly a lot to be excited about.0 -
Great signing. Can’t wait to see how he fits in and very hard to know NJ’s preferred starting line up with our 4 forwards. I expect Godden may be mananged more this year, hence needing 4. Leaburn’s fitness is also uncertain given he’s only just returning
Hopefully they’ll spur each other on competition wise2 -
You are spot on,if only Roland had seen that a few years back and invested the money,we would not have spent all these years in league 1.This club can easily get 20000+ per game,and be among the front runners.queensland_addick said:

The one time I have a lay in on a Sunday…………..🙄🫣😂😂
Welcome Charlie Boy 🤩🤗🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳3 -
We have competition for places all over the pitch,Nathan now has the problem of keeping them all happy,but there is no room for sentiment in football ,how many clubs have remained loyal to a promoted side only to find themselves in trouble at the higher level,I think Curbs commented on this after our relegation the first time we got to the premier league.If the players have the right attitude instilled in them,they will strive to get the shirt and keep it,exciting times ahead.1

You’d expect this week I think to see who we let go / put out on loan.thickandthin63 said:We have competition for places all over the pitch,Nathan now has the problem of keeping them all happy,but there is no room for sentiment in football ,how many clubs have remained loyal to a promoted side only to find themselves in trouble at the higher level,I think Curbs commented on this after our relegation the first time we got to the premier league.If the players have the right attitude instilled in them,they will strive to get the shirt and keep it,exciting times ahead.0 -
No surprise here, signed at 5pm Friday as I told ya, just kept us lusting after the news till today, 🤷♂️0

Don’t agree about announcing it today.
Sunday should only be about the baby Jesus and maybe his dad.

This isn't getting our Charlton back ?
This is a totally different feeling with Ambition seeping through from top to bottom.
The owners, manager, coaches, deserved to be backed for finding a squad who's aim this season is to establish itself back in the Championship after the 5 wilderness years in the mediocre League 1.
Give the players time to gel and try being supporters and not full time critics; out of the 8 signings so far they won't all come off and some will play a bit part.
But we can all see the club is trying to move forward after the stagnation decade or longer.
46 cup finals for CAFC in 24/25 but one defeat doesn't mean you are knocked out.
Fiil your boots Charlie 👏🏼
