    One that will surprise many considering he doesn’t fall into the squad limits but… one to get my ITK status back 🤣

    Gough to Bristol Rovers on loan.
    I love that. Chance to play lots of football and Evans is a good defensive manager. Positive vibes at that club too

    Solid move for him with his squad position currently. Hopefully Josh Laqueratabua follows him in a similar move.

    I think he is more likely to end up in the National League

    He needs a loan, as we have too many centre backs, and Burke the most "expendable " will be very hard to shift.

    Crazy post. He's played a total of 149 minutes of Championship football.

    And if he is too good we’ve learned from our mistakes last season and not tied him to only playing for one club this season. Can pull him out and send him to league 1

    Terrible waste of money. 

    We haven't seen enough of Knibbs and Kelman yet I would say, but I think Tanto & Apter are done here, 4 million quids worth of players in those two alone spunked. 

    If Knibbs and Kelman don't kick on this season, looking at 8-10 million pounds worth of players flopped. 

    Makes you wonder how much homework is done on these players and whether or not they suit Nathan Jones as a manager. 

    I find that absolutely laughable. You’re floating the theory they didn’t bother researching players. How on earth would you know that?

    Do you not think having the second-lowest playing budget in the league forced us into taking calculated risks on players who had a higher chance of not making the step up? It may not even have been a choice, it might simply have been the only option available.

    None of us knows what compromises or gambles the club had to make last summer, and neither do you. The reality is we’ve got nowhere near the financial resources of most teams in this league.

    Trying to pin the blame on our best manager in years just feels like refusing to accept the real problem: we don’t have the money to compete on a level playing field.


    Think you are quoting the wrong person to be honest with this last bit. 

    I have said before, I don't believe every signing we have made has been at Nathan Jones 100% discretion. I believe certain players have been signed without Jones input but the compromise is they will back him with certain signings. I have no real proof of this, just speculation. 

    I don't really blame Jones for anything, I think his hands are tied and he is up against it this season.

    The part about Jones knowing the rw very very well. 

    Come on someone must have a program or the time to research every right sided player that’s played under jones
    And academy players who played under him at Charlton. And if they played at Luton as well... it would be a CL members wet dream...
    Was Nathan around when Joe Aribo was still here ? 
    There's another 6 pages...

    Phew, just logged on to see 200 odd unread posts, but thankfully two thirds of them were just full stops.
    If you watched the movie Sebastian you would have learned that details of the complete Soviet nuclear preparations could be contained within a full stop. Do not dismiss them lightly.
    Are you saying it contains the name of our next signing?
    I can only think of one Sebastian, an Italian forward nicknamed "The Atomic Ant". I forget his surname. No good for us, though. Would fail the height test.

    I would be delighted if we get some money for Olaofe. He did try but never looked championship quality and his fitness levels were appalling.

    Defo won’t be Redmond. He’s injured. 

    Then again I wouldn’t put it past us.

    I'm sorry but comparing Tanto Oloafe to Nicholas Jackson might be one of the most deluded/flattering things I've ever heard about a Charlton player. 
    Didn't someone compare Coventry to Elliot Anderson a few weeks ago

    Harsh as it sounds if he’s doing well and Lincoln are still a threat tonight us getting relegated we can just recall in January to disrupt them

    Asked a Saints supporting mate of mine his thoughts on Edozie and he said "Fast tricky winger with no end product. Always looks like he's about to be good but has been a bit shit". Sounds like he'll fit well here

    I think Grant Basey is more like Barry from Eastenders these days

    2026/27 squad numbers:

    1. Thomas Kaminski (gk)
    2. Kayne Ramsay
    3. Josh Edwards
    4. Reece Burke
    5. Lloyd Jones
    6. Conor Coventry
    7. Tyreece Campbell
    8. Harvey Knibbs
    9. Karlan Grant
    10. Greg Docherty
    11. Miles Leaburn
    12. Billy Koumetio
    14. Sonny Carey
    17. Amari’i Bell
    18. Ivan Mesík
    19. Millenic Alli
    20. Danny McNamara
    21. Tiernan Brooks (gk)
    22. Tanto Olaofe
    23. Charlie Kelman
    24. Matty Godden
    25. Will Mannion (gk)
    26. Joe Rankin-Costello
    27. Ibrahim Fullah
    28. Collins Sichenje 
    29. Daniel Kanu
    30. Rob Apter
    31. Nathan Asiimwe
    32. Alan Mwamba
    33. Micah Mbick
    36. Keenan Gough


    This squad gets relegated. 
    It’s a better squad than we had last season, and that squad didn’t get relegated. 
    That’s subjective. Is Mesik good enough for the Championship, Koumeito likewise. Alli blows hot and cold, will Grant still be good enough? McNamara too? I don’t think the squad has greatly improved, thus far anyway, but time will tell.
    Personally the formation change has set us back a fair distance. 

    Previously we were reasonably well drilled in what we needed to do.
    There's a fair chance that we will still use the 5-3-2/3-5-2, particularly to see out games/after we go through the inevitable rough patch.

    But we don’t know that, he could’ve been in complete agreement with every incoming player. I think the underlying problem is not recruitment or research or effort it’s the lack of money. It’s not like they’re not being anything but transparent, they said so many times last season we’ve the second worst player budget in the league. You don’t think that’s going have the biggest impact on our recruitment, constantly outbid by other teams (mostly Preston).

    My wife is good friends with edozies mum. Bizarrely had a kick about with him and his brother (Thomas who’s at wolves) in my back garden. They were nothing special 😂 half tempted to get the wife to text the mum and see what’s what.

    What about this medical that's been going on for over a week. Is it Chalobah and it's like when you fail the mot you tweak it and go again. Happy to have him if he can stay fit 💪

    Edozie is on the list of former NJ wingers. So I'd imagine that's more than coincidence.

    If we end up finalising our transfer window by bringing in all of Chalobah, Holsgrove and Edozie, I’d be extremely extremely happy and would honestly feel inclined to give it a 8.5 or 9/10. 

    Still personally think we need a new GK as well but Jones seems to love Kaminski despite the howlers. 
    Cant see the other CM is Holsgrove. NJ said its one we can wait on (or words to that effect) which sounds like it could be done nearer to the end of the transfer window (which to me sounds more like a loan). The CM position has been an urgent one & not one you can be waiting on.

    From NJ's interview I think they might genuinely be waiting on the media team to sort out the Curbs video.
