  • Everyone may change their tune tomorrow when the club are expected to announce a new signing. Is it Holsgrove or one of the 2 mentioned on here from Oxford who would solve their provisional current embargo. I hope we are not disappointed. 
    What happens when no one is announced? 
  • Going to be a lot of pages to read through tomorrow one way or another

    One passes on information that one believes to be true.


    Only messing Redrobo😉
    Ha,
    You wouldn’t believe the stress I feel. I have been trying to find out more - which I thought should be straightforward.
    A hint. What position? What Country?
    Nada.
    Trust me. I never want to be labelled ITK.
    Look at the grief Cawley has had today - and people like him!

    Quick let’s sign Luke Chambers…he scored in Liverpool’s friendly against Leeds!

    We all go down the Valley and tear the place apart.

    I was wrong about Dobson when he left. He’s been great for Wrexham, has stepped up to The Championship and would love him back. Surprised Wrexham are willing to let him go (if true). He can cut that ponytail off though.

    Koumas is also playing in that friendly, so rules out him signing tomorrow.

    And Dobson played 45 minutes for Wrexham in a friendly in Philadelphia today so can’t see it being that one either.

    A mystery signing from Abroad , don't think we've had one of these since the Roland years in the Champ.

    If Holsgrove is holding out for a move to Germany and we may still be in with a shout if that don’t happen closer to the window closing .. do we play the waiting game ..or move on to next name on our list ??? 
    We’ve spent nearly 2 months chasing him, may be a little pathetic but have to ride it out if we think he’s the player to change this team. What we should do though is have somebody locked and loaded if it does go pear shaped. 

    Ideally would have been good to go in for 2 midfielders get one sorted now and one we can wait a bit longer to bring in 
    I think that's why we have suddenly brought Chalobah in. Like Grant & McNamara they weren't on our original "hit list".....but as the weeks have gone on we've had to go hunting in the freebie bins.
    Freebie bins isn’t really a fair reflection though is it. 

    Alli cost £1.5m, grant was a free. I would bet my house on grants wages being significantly higher than alli’s. My guess without any substance is that grant is on £8k a week more

    two defenders that cost a fee, three including CS in Jan. McNamara on a free. I bet McNamara is the highest paid out of those three. 

    I would start chabolah over any of our current central midfielders any day.

    Just because a player is on a free, it doesn’t mean they aren’t worth signing

    Mr Shearer, is it true that, despite becoming the Premier League’s record goal scorer, you won nothing while playing for Newcastle?

    Need to move on from Holsgrove, he ain’t signing for us. Our mate st John has all but confirmed on the other forum! 
    He posts on another forum ?????

    I feel like I have been cheated on !
    Haha I just needed to clear a few things up over there. We are all Charlton!! 

    Hoping to get more updates next week from Holsgroves camp as bids are reported to have been made. That says to me to club believe they have more of a chance than they did 6 weeks ago. 


    Have the mods made an offer to you for exclusivity? And do they have more or less chance than 6 weeks ago?

    So I’m fully expecting Jordan Holsgrove to be announced tomorrow now.

    Just because a player is on a free, it doesn’t mean they aren’t worth signing 

    That's not my point.

    My point is, players that are out of contract become "free" once the retained lists are announced (probably earlier as all clubs know what players are out of contract) and therefore negotiations can take place in early May. 

    I do not believe for a moment that McNamara and Chalobah were on our "wanted" list that we had supposedly drawn up many months ago. Neither seemed to have any other suitors (so much so it appears that McNamara was off to Cambridge to join up with his old Millwall boss). If pushed I can sort of think that maybe Grant was "wanted" by us, but as we are one of the lowest wage payers in the division I cant see how we would be chosen ahead of any other club bar Lincoln,and one or two others. 

    Hence my hunch being that these 3 recruits were signed after our main targets turned us down. Who they were I have no clue. Those players might have signed elsewhere, or our bids have been rejected by the selling club.

    And I agree with you, just because they are free doesn't mean they aren't worth signing. Quite the opposite if a player has purposely run down his contract so that he can leave on a free. And that is my point. Both McNamara or Chalobah were "released" by their clubs.....and although it appears that WBA wanted Grant to re sign a new contract, I dont think they pushed the boat out in terms of wages.

    “Only Jordan Holsgrove (2,880) managed more touches than Bacher's 2,281, while the midfielder was also the only player to win more tackles than him (41 to 30).”

    If the player from abroad does sign tomorrow as has been suggested, I’d put my money on a RW that hasn’t been on anyone’s radar

    More hearsay of course, but someone on X claiming we bid around £5m but lost out as Swansea got him for £6m, for kiwi Marko Stamenic.
    I know obviously this holds no real relevance in terms of this season but IF true, it shows we do have money and are willing to spend it. (Missed out on a good one there, btw.)

    But interesting to see the second part of this claiming we have an offer in for a midfielder for around £3.5m/£4m. I guess it supports what we’ve all been hearing.
    That's the Ronnie Moore guy on here you can just tell by he's tweets. He just makes things up to feel important. Very odd behaviour.

    You can’t trust rumours that aren’t behind a paywall.
