Summer Window 2026 - Rumours and Discussion (DEADLINE DAY from Page 814)

Alli to me would be a very average signing in L1 let alone the Champ. I hope it’s wrong but like them all they’ll get my backing if he joins.

CB1 · July 25

Mills is back for Oxford but still no BDK

daveydanger · July 25

Googled Holsgrove and one of the first things to pop up is his Instagram. Playing top-flight in Portugal… living in Cascais with sun, the beach, good food, amazing quality of life - looks like he’s living the dream. I can see Jones might have a tough sell tbh

On €5000 a week though mate. Unfortunately, what it comes down to a lot of the time.

Thought he looked very dangerous second half of last season .

Fair enough. I just don’t think he has the workrate of an NJ player and although he has the odd flash of skill, I don’t think he’s good enough, especially as I think we’ll be 5-3-2 in no time if we have a bad start. I guess we’ll see soon enough.

🚨 Charlton Athletic are understood to be one of several Championship clubs keeping tabs on Estoril midfielder Jordan Holsgrove.

The 26-year-old Scotsman has spent the past three seasons in Portugal with the Liga Portugal outfit and is now attracting interest from England. 👀

I’m flying to Portugal tomorrow so I’ll have a word with my Estoril supporting waiter.

That’s up to him to instil the work rate then. We fundamentally have to fine other ways to win games other then lump it to go one nil up and then defend for the rest of the game

Not arguing at the position and what is needed to better our chance at wins, I just don’t rate the player and at 26 I’d expect him to have that work rate already.

Even if it’s a made up rumour the fact that he will be from Luton makes it 100x more likely

Well they do have a genuine Charlton legend on the coaching staff to sell the club to him, so hopefully Kevin Foley has had a word.

That is a good point tbf. Say if we do end up signing two wingers. Both of the rumours I do believe will improve us. However if we do revert to 5-3-2, it would / could lead to another Apter situation. Neither or them will cope being wing backs thats for sure.

You will know the player better than I do, fair enough .

Had a look at the Pompey forum and their season rating for Alli was a 5 out of 10.

I hope we go for Kamara but as always, in NJ we trust

John_Fitzpatrick1 · July 25

Really starting to think those unknown messages were Stjohnshill.

Getting worried he’s behind a paywall now.

Have a look at this. Seems to be the exact midfielder we need. Composed, puts a foot in, and direct/creative.

Poor fella.

Just under 5x the average monthly wage in Portugal in a single week.

If I was him I’d be quite happy living like a king in Southern Europe

It was a troll I believe, whom I think many were glad to see the back of.

Listen I could be wrong and I’ll back him if he comes in. Started representing Ireland lately too, so good luck to the lad.

A lot of fans thought Clarke should have had him in the Scots WC squad

One of the best passing stats in his league and in Europe iirc, his forward passes put him in the top 10% in top leagues of Europe just about. Ofc the caveat is that’s in the Portuguese top division, so similar level to the championship

What's with all this bloody "Unknown" stuff...

Mods removing all of stjohnshill ‘s posts and putting them behind a pay wall on CharltonLife Ultra, £7.99 per month.

Mods making us pay £7.99 per month to not see Golfie posts

Oi !

I reckon a trip to Makro and a couple of Friday night pints in the Woolwich Wetherspoons will turn his head.

Is that where the rumour started from
though as someone mentioned it last night ?

Twas I.
Still believe it to be true.

Do you think the Kamara rumour is off the mark? Mistaken training ground identities?

I did not get this from anyone connected with Charlton so believe it to be accurate as in we have had discussions and a move is close.

I'm confused. Alii or Kamara ?

I’ve heard the fact there’s now a bobs your uncle cafe in Eltham AND Woolwich has made a huge difference to negotiations.

Wolves fans on Twitter seem to think they’re in for Holsgrove

Yep spotted that too. Think they’re more likely with their Portuguese connections and being able to offer him a lot more.

Just got £30m from Villa for João Gomes too so there's a big gap in their midfield.

But on the other hand Holsgrove might be our first choice but only their 2nd/3rd/4th choice.

If any of these clubs with much bigger budgets than us wanted him that much he might have moved by now.
