    If every other championship team was getting lots of business done and we were falling behind then I'd be concerned. The reality is that it has been quite a slow window so far, with both the world cup and the season starting later than usual, delaying movement for everyone. In fact if we sign Alli over the next couple of days then there's only a few championship teams that have signed more players than us this summer. Jones has said all along that the quality will come later in the window

    Players signed by each team so far: 


    Maybe some clubs are happy with the players they currently have. 

    Not all clubs need a re-vamp like we do.

    Kamara and Alli seem downgrades on Fevrier, and £1.5m for a L1  unproven shortarse winger. Wtf?

    And Thierry Small must be getting itchy feet at Preston.
    What is your obsession with players heights? Really strange behaviour.

    All very ominous, we must be down to third or fourth choices...

    I think reams is doing overtime on all his accounts currently.
    There you go again, obsessed.
    Thanks for chiming in, Reams.

    Exactly, 83 signed by 24 clubs, which is less than 4 on average and we've signed 4.
    Ok, not top quality but let's just wait and see.
    But didn't NJ say that this season we would be going for quality, not quantity.

    In true Kevin Keegan style, I would love it, I said love it, if we could sign a player called Terry Ball.

    Taking a holiday during peak ITK weeks. Awful mentality.

    I thought you really were going to the very top. I’ll have to reevaluate that now.

    I agree it’s a disgrace, I haven’t had a boner for at least a couple of days due St John’s not posting his snippets of info!!!

    Nice, he's discovered the Charlton Life out of office feature.

    Almost sounds natural too, although he may have somehow guessed what the next ten messages were going to be...

    Yes and perhaps that's why we haven't signed the quality as yet, because it's easier to sign lesser players?
    We don't know, we may or may not sign a couple of quality midfielders.
    What's the point going on and on about it?

    I’m reading Will Smallbone in this response or am I overthinking it 🤣

    On a side note, I believe Millenic Alli has started following Greg Docherty on insta. Don’t know if it’s recent or from before but don’t think they have played at a club together.

    have just checked using the tool I developed, his 2 most recent follows were Matt Godden and Greg Docherty :) 
    Hope that helps

    While im at it, Kamaras most recent follow is some influencer woman so presumably he was busy after training.

    edit: holsgrove also hasnt followed anybody of interest and for what its worth I checked godden and his most recent follow before that was a golfer and grant so id call that as close as you can get to nailed on!

    Still believe it to be true.
    Do you think the Kamara rumour is off the mark? Mistaken training ground identities?
    Apparently played for Hull today, so do not what to make of his Wiki last night saying he was now on our books.

    🚨 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.

    Still hope we sign an exciting young player who performed well in the U21s/PL2 last season. When you look at some of the names in recent seasons who have gone out on loan or been sold, there is quite the quality amongst it.

    We’ve got to get away from the whole ‘we won’t sign another player from another academy as we have our own’. Yes, we do, but there are so many better players we could get who would influence our first team now that many of our own simply can’t yet.

    There are players like Gallagher and Rak-Sakyi in there, and plenty more, we just have to be prepared to do it. If we don’t, another Championship club will and we’ll be talking about them doing well at this level and that is the kind of scouting we should be doing etc.

    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
    I reckon a trip to Makro and a couple of Friday night pints in the Woolwich Wetherspoons will turn his head. 
    Please do not belittle the Woolwich spoons mate, or any spoons for that matter.
