    I will say don’t think NJ obsession with TC actually helped TC …. 
    Oh, the irony of Colin Sams talking about someone else having an "obsession" with TC.
    To be fair, I don't think he is wrong. TC has been overplayed and shoehorned into positions that don't suit him, just so he can be on the pitch. Don't think it's unfair to say that hasn't helped TC

    This Ronnie guy has often got some shit opinions but publicising his full name is a pretty weird and immature thing to do - what was the benefit there?
    Oh dear.

    His user name on here, before he was banned,  was Colin Sams.

    It's also the name he uses on multiple other sites where he spouts similar nonsense and brags about being a troll.

    PS strange that you decided to make this your first comment on this site after joining three years ago.

    Overplayed, yes, I'd agree.

    Obessed?  No, he just doesn't have another pacy wide forward to rotate with TC.

    Don't know if it's been mentioned, but selling Kanu is pure profit for PSR rules.
    If we are spending more than last year I would be selling Kanu, if we can get close to a mill. 
    The standard in League 2 is miles away from Champ, we need at least 4/5 upgrades on last seasons starting eleven...
    Literally this, we wasted millions last year and almost everyone will have to be loaned out until contracts expire. We dont have too many saleable assest and something has to give. 

    So if Jones is going to be ruthless to keep us in the division, he could possibly sell Kanu, Leaburn and TC to help with the PSR and maybe go for broke with championship quality and experience............ just saying.....?
    Ruthless means primarily ditching the dross, Ahadme, Olaofe, Apter, A Mitchell etc, not having them hanging around the first team squad like a bad smell. The youngsters can be loaned out unless there is a very big fee for them (very unlikely).
    I'm not so sure that "ruthless" means just getting rid of unwanted players.

    I suspect it means moving on players who've done well for us and some from our academy as well as those signings who've not cut the mustard. 
    Exactly. Being ruthless means selling popular players, ones which NJ feels that are expendable, especially if they might be attractive to other clubs but aren't at the heart of his plans. As I previously noted, NJ was "ruthless" two summers ago when he sold player of the season Alfie May, and was happy to do so.

    The flops are the hardest players to move on anyway, as they'll be on Championship wages, but not up to Championship football, so very hard to shift. Championship clubs won't want them, while L1 clubs might want them, but won't be prepared to pay their current wages. Unless Apter, Tanto and Ahadme are prepared to take a significant pay cut to permanently move on, we'll have to keep loaning them out, but paying a significant chunk of their wages. So not great for our finances.

    Totally agree.
    His name is common knowledge, and he used to post under it, so the boring racist troll can't complain

    I don't comment on Ronnie Moore's posts but if I agree I will like them. If I disagree I ignore them.
    This is an open forum so, as long as it's not offensive, people can write what they like. Agree, disagree, think it's a load of crap, that's personal taste, but I do think, to some people, they feel it's ok to take the piss out of him.
    I'm sure if admin felt he overstepped they would ban him.
    That's my view feel free to agree or disagree or think it's a load of crap.

    I mean, you're half right. I do always wonder why people engage with his posts because he posts them exclusively to get a reaction. And every time people react. Whether it's overtly nicking an online rumour and presenting at as insider knowledge, repeatedly putting down an academy player or deliberately praising a player in a game where he obviously had a poor one it's all done for attention. If people don't like it the best thing is to just not react. If he didn't get likes, lols and replies he wouldn't post. A lot of people can't help themselves or actually enjoy having someone there to get annoyed by. Ultimately though he's a troll who comes on here only to annoy other posters so I don't think he needs people running on here to defend him, if your only purpose is to irritate then you're not the victim of bullying when people call you out on it. Personally I skip every post and would prefer if he just melted off but it is absolutely ok to take the piss out of a troll.

    An internet troll is a person who deliberately posts inflammatory, off-topic, or provocative messages online. Their primary goal is to "bait" users into emotional arguments, disrupt conversations, or cause chaos for the troll's own amusement.

    Ronnie on another Charlton Forum a few years ago posted to say "he only posts on Charlton Life to wind people up".

    He has admitted to being a troll himself. Not sure why people pay any attention to the bloke.  Not really any point arguing or talking about his posts (although of course I just have!)

    Back to ignore mode.

    Anyway, sorry to derail and hopefully back to rumours...

    Jones will be ruthless but he doesn't seem to know a good player from a bad.

    His recruitment, even outside ex-Luton players has been poor.  His most expensive signing, a striker with 7 goals is marmite. He has spent millions on players who have been dropped, injured, or out on loan. 
    Think it’s unfair to call his recruitment poor considering the absolute dross we’ve signed in the past. 

    From his current signings 

    Success
    Mannion 
    Fevs 
    Clarke
    Bree
    Mitchell 
    Bell
    Small
    Edwards
    Coady 
    Docherty 
    Berry 
    Carey
    Gilbert 
    Godden
    Dykes 

    Flopped 
    Kaminski 
    A.Campbell 
    Apter 
    Ahadme 
    Tanto 

    Filled their role 
    Bouzonis 
    Brooks
    McIntyre 
    Chambers 
    Hylton 

    Jury out - Fans will have different opinions
    Sichenje (not seen enough) 
    Burke (injuries, but cost nothing and good when fit)
    JRC (potentially better in a developed setup)
    Knibbs (injuries/Carey form)  
    Kelman (fee related) 

    Such a low risk not a big deal
    (minimal wages/short contract - more like a trial)
    Potts
    Dixon 
    Rousillon
    Hernandez 
    Lualua
    Wickham 

    From his 36 signings personally I can only give you 5 where I’ve seriously gone what have we done for me that’s a pretty good return rate and even then 1 of those in A.Campbell we were able to offload ASAP

    11 clean sheets in the Championship, and you call Kaminski a flop! Honestly, I think some people really don’t have a clue about football! 
    How many wanted Jones gone after the Crawley home game?!

    I think we’re still way too early to be expecting much to happen. Players are still away or just returning from holidays and so are managers and coaches. Players are under contract until 30th June I think so even those released or out of contract will be getting paid until then. Why sign someone and pay them 10k per week before you need to even if negotiating is taking place. Not saying we might not see something happen but I think the bulk of the transfers will take place in July earliest.

    Think this is going to be a slow starting window with the World Cup and players that might have been available early in previous years being held back to cover preseason tours etc that the WC players will miss.

    A forum is about having different personalities and a variety of opinions.  Every football forum has its trolls.  Most are only being negative.  What I like about Ronnie is that sometimes he is a positive troll.  He is always going to be contrarian so when the forum is mad at a player/NJ/the club, sometimes he plays the opposite and raves about the player - like his current love affair with Coventry.  Part of the reason I like this forum is the variety.  You have Golfie who is the negative Nancy, trolls like Ronnie, various poster who are on here to make you laugh, the serious football analyst types and someone like Airman who focuses on the business side.  I wouldn’t want it any other way.

    Only thing that probably could happen soon is Godden signing a new contract, or even better some other contract extensions

    Need to factor agents into the equation. They’ll generally want to leave it as long as possible before their client commits to see if anything better materialises.

    And how many CS would we have kept if we didn’t have Ramsay Jones and Bell as a back 3?

    Yes games like QPR, Sheffield United, Ipswich (A), West Brom, Coventry he’s done fantastically but also opposed to that Ipswich (H), Pompey x2, Stoke he’s had some absolute howlers.

    Kaminski hasn’t been awful like and Isted, Mcgillvray level, he’s been an average championship keeper but when you take into account he’s the highest paid player by quite some way, the expectations and career he’s had coming into the club I think hes underperformed, maybe flop is a harsh word but I was expecting a top keeper

    Kaminski cannot be deemed a flop. People have small memories about some of the games he kept us in. Sheffield United at home being the one that sticks out the most. 
    If it was not for Kaminski we would have been bottom three … even v Hull made two excellent saves to see us home ….. all season made excellent saves to keep us in games

    And this is your problem, because whilst he's paid more than our League 1 players, yes, by comparison he isn't on "top keeper" wages in the league, he's more middle of the road, bang average wages, and when you look at that and look at where we ended up in the table compared to other clubs keeping as many clean sheets as he did, he's a bit of an outlier.

    You can claim that none of that is him and it's all his defenders in front of him, but that's bollocks. 

    He's an average keeper for this level and one of the least of our concerns this summer

    Collins also like a new signing if staying fit.

    London not the pull to players then it use to be in fact I think it puts players or at least their wife’s now with the state of our capital city as it is … 
    I’m assuming English isn’t your first language?
    Millwall fan, what can you expect?
    Who been going to the valley since 1968 and still owns Ronnie Moore little toe ….
    Since Millwall played us at the Valley in 1968 you mean.

    Any real fan would say "supporting Charlton since 1968"
    That was my first Charlton game, and we won 1-0...
    First real game I remember was 2-0 win over Derby with Matt Tees and Ray Tracey scoring the goals … January 1969 
    I was there for that one .. biggest memory is Dave McKay pulling Harry Gregory's hair as Gregory was always right in McKay's face as he tried to take long throw ins .. instant red card nowadays of course .. also a Hinton shot crashing into the bar, the ball rebounding thirty feet into the air and then falling right into Charlie Wright's arms, one of the greatest games I ever saw at the Valley.. if I remember we finished third that season, no play offs in those days .. Derby of course managed by Brian Clough, Charlton by Eddie Firmani .. 2 VERY VERY good teams

    This will be hard with having one eye on how much dough we'd lose.
    Olaofe and Apter hopefully will come good.
    don't hold yer breath waiting for that to happen though
