    I know some people get uptight when they hear someone say that The Championship is Charltons natural level but I think it is. We shouldn’t really ever be in League One and now that even in the second tier money is obscene it’s hard to see that we push past only ever flirting with promotion every now and then. Jones is perfect for us and although I don’t see us back in the top flight any time soon I do think he’ll establish us where we belong and give us a few thrills along the way. Just like everyone else my ambition for this season was survival and I think that’s been achieved. For next season it’s a season where we are not looking over our shoulder and establishing ourselves as a mid table side. Everything depends on this summers window though. We need quite a lot of change.
    Nailed it, 100% this.

    We definately need to upgrade, assuming we stay up and Jones has said as much but the key difference between last summer and next is that we need evolution not revolution.
    Defence and attack football operations needs evolution the midfield needs revolution

    I think if Ipswich go up Clarke may be available. Chambers seems to me to be a young lad who is improving. Not there yet but improving is good. He might be stronger next season and maybe if Liverpool see development they might keep him with us. I would be looking at securing those two.

    Chambers has 1 year left at Liverpool he’s promising but will never be a top prem Lb so they’d likely look to sell him on a permanent this summer to make some money

    We need to get Lloyd Jones on a new contract then see what we have left to spend once that’s done

    I think Chambers has a future but we need to be upgrading our current starters not just buying our current loan starters.

    Edwards is our number one LWB, if Jones wants a different profile of LWB then fair enough but a 21 year old Chambers as a backup who is at this current level despite having a year long injury with decent time to improve as a player and physically you could do so much worse.

    I don’t disagree but how much do you pay for a reserve lb?  Will Liverpool accept 500k
