5 shots is a meaningless sample. 28 is enough to glean if someone's decent in front of goal or notAberystwythAddick said:
What’s that got to do with anything?sam3110 said:
So you wouldn't want to sign Oli Rathbone, Mo Toure, Kyle Larin or Ross Stewart? All players with similar shot amounts and goalsAberystwythAddick said:
Having so little shots over the season completely invalidates this as a course of argument though. That is no way near enough sample size to draw any meaningful conclusions.sam3110 said:
Proves absolutely nothing.DennisBooth said:
He is not one of the best finishers in the League, get real.So Dykes has got a good physique. So has Anthony Joshua but I wouldn’t want him playing for us.Crispywood said:t
Kelman is arguably one of the best finishers in this league, I know expected goals is like marmite to some people but statistically he was the 3rd best striker this season in terms of finishing.J BLOCK said:
This is one of the craziest posts on here. Dykes and Kelman combination would be worth 20 million 😂😂Crispywood said:
If you get a forward with Dykes physicality and Kelman/Godden finishing your basically asking for a striker that’s going to cost you 15-20M.sam3110 said:
But that's my point, we need a player that is similar in stature to Miles and Dykes, but they need to have better scoring prowess than Dykes did to make it worthwhile, IMO.Crispywood said:
There’s no point having 3 strikers who are exactly the same, at least dykes gives u an option to go direct in the last 5-10mins when ur applying pressure, Kelman and Godden come nowhere close to him physicallysam3110 said:Yeah we need better than Dykes if we go 1 up top, needs to be a striker at least on a par with Kelman and Godden's scoring prowess
Problem is strikers like that are like hens teeth, but if we're serious about moving forwards and evolving under Jones this season, I don't think Dykes is the answerDykes has 40 goals in 197 championship games which is not great for a striker yet somehow convinced teams he’s been good enough to spend 5 seasons in the championship.You will struggle to get a better finisher than Kelman or someone who’s better physically than Dykes which is worth a lot of money. When you take the best part of them they’re amazing it’s just they both lack massively outside that trait1 Žan VipotnikApp.44Goals232 Oliver McBurnie40 18 3 Haji Wright40 17 4= Josh Windass41 16 4= Jack Clarke46 16 6 Joe Gelhardt42 15 7 Morgan Whittaker43 14 8= Brandon Thomas-Asante32 13 8= Ellis Simms43 13 8= Tommy Conway48 13 11= Patrick Bamford28 12 11= Carlton Morris31 12 11= Jaden Philogene-Bidace35 12 14= Adam Armstrong29 11 14= Jordan James34 11 14= Femi Azeez37 11 14= Adrian Segecic38 11 14= Kieffer Moore39 11 14= George Hirst42 11 14= Will Lankshear44 11 14= Finn Azaz45 11 14= Scott Twine45 11 23= Jovon Makama28 10 23= Rumarn Burrell30 10 23= Marvin Ducksch33 10 23= Patrick Agyemang37 10 23= Lewis Dobbin39 10 23= Victor Torp39 10 23= Ephron Mason-Clark42 10 23= Richard Kone
Kelman's Shots on Target % was 2nd highest in the league, his conversion rate was in the top 5%, his issue is getting enough chances to score goals, he only had 28 shots in total last season, a striker of his calibre should be given at least double, maybe even triple that.
Vipotnik had 88 shots last season, for instance, Haji Wright had 98 and McBurnie 70.
Looking at "Top Scorer" in a nutshell proves almost nothing, other than the team they play for are clearly more attacking than we areI’m saying that you shot percentage means nothing when you’ve only taken 28 shots. It’s a meaningless sample2 -

Yes, good example, we offered Dobbo what we thought was a respectable offer and he went to Wrexham. My original point is the unrealistic expectations of some fans that we can do better than Dykes when we’re struggling to afford a player like him.fenaddick said:
I think if we were planning to use him off the bench, for example, we'd offer him a wage appropriate to that. Remember when Dobbo left and all the talk was he was being paid less than Tennai Watson? That's the scenario you want to avoid and overpaying your squad players can cause serious disharmony.SouthLincsAddick said:
Do you really think we've lowballed him that much, because he'd only be coming in as an impact sub? We'd already have had to offer less because there's no way we could match his Birmingham wages. It feels like a lot of clutching at straws and hoping we'll somehow land a proven goalscorer for the sort of transfer fee and wages we've got available.fenaddick said:
Because we don't know what wages we're offering and for what role. We will have a wage structure and he isn't really worth breaking it for. It isn't really about not being able to afford him as much as not being willing to pay what he thinks he's worthSouthLincsAddick said:Some fans make me laugh, there’s a good chance Dykes will go elsewhere because another club offers more money (probs Preston, knowing their form) but our fans say we can do better. Well, if we couldn’t afford Dykes how is that going to happen?
Whether we can get better I don't know but I do broadly trust NJ to know when not to overspend on wages1 -
All this talk of "we can't afford so and so's wages", "we have a really small budget", "we're shopping in Lidl not Waitrose"... does anyone actually know for sure what we can or cannot afford. Anyone actually seen the budget? I think there is a lot of speculation when nobody really knows what is going on! Club is hardly going to publish the budget!7

I don’t think we are though. We are not offering what he was on at Birmingham but it seems that despite being linked to/training with other clubs none of them seem to think he was worth that wage either.SouthLincsAddick said:

I don’t really have anything against Dykes as a player, I actually think hes pretty good at what he does but I personally would prefer us to have a team that makes what he does less important.
If we want someone to be a battering ram then by all means get him back but my preferred profile of forward would be more technical - though of course my opinion doesnt matter at all and its Jones who makes those choices.4 -
I believe a few knowledgeable people have mentioned the budget will be similar to last year.

Same as ever, no rumours equal assumptions around budget. Tale as old as time. We have improved the squad each window and will do so again.Far more nuance to recruitment than anyone allows for. Have youngsters like Mwamba made Jones stop and decide he can spend budget in other areas? Are we fending off bids for players whilst lining up a replacement? Have we lined loans up but can't complete until PL clubs are closer to registering squads? Are we waiting for work permits to be approved for foreign signings? Are players waiting on other offers or moves to happen before being able to sign?Just have some patience13

Buying better players isn’t how we will progress up the championship, we just don’t have the budget to just keep buying better players every summer and move up the league table in that wayPringlesCurtains said:An agent friend of mine who looks after a few champ and league one players said we just don't have the finances available to compete with other clubs who want the same profile players we need. I know that isn’t a huge surprise, but it's exactly why we have gone for a young player at Dundee, and a guy who is hungry to play in England.
Whoever we're looking at will most likely want to come for the same reasons as Koumetio and Mesik. Either completely off the radar of any agents in this country, hence the lack of rumours, or it will take some magic from NJ to sell the club. Charlton is a hard sell if we can't compete financially, expensive place to live and we're going to be in a battle towards the lower end of the table (at least from the outside that is the perception).
Hopefully, whoever we bring in, will be hungry to make an impression rather than tried and tested Championship experience who wants the biggest wage available which unfortunately isn't our market.
Player development is absolutely key to how we progress. We mostly sign players at ages where we can improve them, we also have an academy that produces players we can develop. The way we move up the championship table is by developing our own players and the players we are signing. We then develop them into good championship players for us to use, or good championship players that we can sell, and then once we’ve done that a few times we can start being a team that has a bit more money to go out and buy good championship playersWe can’t buy very good championship players, but we can develop as many as we can of the likes of Kelman, Leaburn, Campbell, Koumetio, Mesik, Coventry, Ramsay, Carey, Gough, Fullah, Mwamba, Mbick etc into very good championship players that we can use or sell. That’s the plan, it just requires a lot more patience
Next season, we need to firstly stay up again, hopefully a little more comfortably but it’s going to be tough. If we can stay up but also see improvement to some of the players we’ve signed over the last year or so, and our academy players, then that to me is a successful season that sets us up well to continue improving15 -

NJ said last week we were 23rd in budget terms last season.
So, it is reasonable to assume that as we had a low budget relative to our rivals last season we will have similar this coming season.
That doesn't mean "we're skint" or "we're doomed" but it does mean we're not flush, again in relative terms, to most other teams in this divison.
So, as the club has stated, we need to be "ruthless" in moving on players who have served us well in the past like Macca and I'd add A Mitchell, Anderson and a few others. We have too big a drag on our wage bill of players we won't play that I'm not going to list as it's been done to death and is boring
We also haven't had the budget boost of a big player sale and unless Gomez moves we won't.
The club are trying to boost the commercial income and have had some success but that is like turning round a tanker and there isn't a big multi-million deal about to happen.
So, yeah, we do know our budget this season, it will be pretty much the same as last season plus maybe a little bit more.20 -
Last season 31 days from the opening game of the season we had only made 4 signings, this season we have made 2 and this year we already had a far more inflated squad than last season it’s not panic stations just yetmsomerton said:

Bigger numbers, but exactly the same thing applies to the giant clubs. Man U may think that a midfielder is worth £150k a week, because he's the missing link for their team, whereas to Arsenal he's only worth £100k a week "take it or leave it" because they have plenty of other options there, and want to spend more money on a striker.4 -

The Carter quotes in full:“From our perspective, we want to become a sustainable Championship football club. We are not going to throw tons and tons of money at this, like some other clubs have done. We’re going to do it in a fiscally sustainable way. However that does still mean we are going to experience significant losses. We want to move the wage budget towards the second quartile, so the top half of the table. That is going to take us a number of windows to do that.
“Over the next three years we want to have a top-half competitive squad. With the play-offs coming down to eighth position, that makes our planned approach that much more appealing.”

I admire your optimism, but I can't imagine we'd offer Dykes a valuable squad place (whatever the wage offer) unless we were really serious about him. He on the other hand decided he'd train pre-season with another team, so he didn't think much of that offer.killerandflash said:

I think everyone knows Dykes only joined us because he needed game time to hopefully be selected for the World Cup. I feel sure he will sign for the highest bidder and I don't blame him given his age.5

Think Scoop's funeral is tomorrow so there will be a lot of Charlton people mingling and i'm sure our transfer business will be a big topic for small talk - be amazed if there isn't an injection of new 'material' to chew over on this forum in the next few days. My view is that 1) We clearly didn't / don't have all our signings lined up and in the bag 2) that's disappointing but understandable 3) We are likely in a bidding war with other clubs for the 4/5 key signings that we need and in the next few weeks we'll probably have to issue a few ultimatums and there will be a big churn of outcomings and ingoings. We can't let this go to transfer deadline day coz we have to get off to a good start.0

If he did sign on again we’d be lucky to get 10 goals a season from him but there’s a reason why he kept Leaburn almost entirely out of the team since he joined - he fits the Nathan Jones system better. If we fail to get targets and Dykes can’t get a established midtable team / more money, then it’s better to have Dykes than not - although it doesn’t fill anyone with confidence that we’ll score more goals, which we really have to do in order to stay up again.Starinnaddick said:I think everyone knows Dykes only joined us because he needed game time to hopefully be selected for the World Cup.

And my guess is that Lloyd Jones has agreed to a new deal but probably won't sign until he sees some of these improved players rolling in coz he knows if we don't significantly overhaul the first team, we are toast.7

I think it was Covered End Lad that mentioned a couple of outgoings this week. That’s a positive as it means we will free up some wages, albeit unlikely to be substantial, but as HI pointed out, that squad is bloated. Once the outgoings are confirmed, I expect to see some action the other way5

Mbick seems unlikely to get a L1 loan with seven weeks until the window closes and him not training yet.0

A year ago, Kanu went to Walsall on 22nd August. Mbick went to Colchester on 1st September. The first loan out of last summer happened on 30th July (Asiimwe to Wimbledon).Gisappointed said:Mbick seems unlikely to get a L1 loan with seven weeks until the window closes and him not training yet.

Still think Jones plans to use him in the first team, even with a good L1 loan based on what we’ve seen from the likes of Tolaj and Ballard valuation from argyle and Orient his value would still be maxed out at roughly 5M which we rejected from Brighton in Jan. He has half a decent season in the championship and you can potentially double that.Gisappointed said:Mbick seems unlikely to get a L1 loan with seven weeks until the window closes and him not training yet.On top of that it’s not like we have any elite strikers who Mbick probably won’t be able to compete with at this stage2
