I’m guessing it’s on loan0

I’m sure someone said he’s out of contract next year (I didn’t check) so I’d be surprised if they loaned him this early in the windowoohaahmortimer said:I’m guessing it’s on loan1 -
Mate I have just got down after a fucking nightmare 9 hours drive !!! Saw hundreds of posts ! Just confused now loloohaahmortimer said:Rak Sakyi is a game changer and has turned me from completely negative the end of the world is nigh

ffs are you on a wind up or you heard something ? I genuinely need a sense of realism after hundreds of posts of bollox lol0 -
Godden is the man this season. Unfinished business.EastbourneAddick said:We need another goal scorer 100%.
We nearly went down through lack of goals last season and we have less proven strikers at this level than when we ended last season with.
Hope I am wrong but with no Kelman for a while, Dykes gone (not everyone's cup of tea but certainly improved our chances of staying up), Godden superb but spent 50% of time with us injured we are keeping our fingers crossed that Leaburn improves hugely and maybe Mbick can step up. This is not good enough and we will struggle for goals again if this isn't addressed. Mark my words !
Kelman’s injury may have disrupted his planning a bit, but it doesn’t seem
like a centre forward has ever been on the shopping list for this summer so NJ obviously believes in his roster of strikers. I think they’re all going to look a bit better with a bit more pace and creativity playing behind them, and, as you say, Mbick may well be the ace up our sleeve. After all, NJ trusted him enough to bring him on in a finely balanced playoff final a year and a bit ago, and he should have developed more since then.2 -
Why would palace loan him with 12 months left on his contract? Makes no sense surely?oohaahmortimer said:I’m guessing it’s on loan4 -

It was all a dream...I used to read Voice of the Valley magazineTheNotoriousBWP said:Had a thought…although I have had a couple of beers.
These owners strike me as people that would read the #cafc hashtag on X. Particularly Gavin Carter who is a Charlton fan. So even if that ISN’T Rak Sakyi’s motor, they’ll see the excitement of fans thinking it was, and sign him anyway….
Wishful? Drunk? Maybe both? But I’ll believe it anyway.1 -

At the moment he is worth fuck-all to anyone except maybe Charlton.TheHerminator said:

“so let’s lend him to them, hope he hits the ground running, recall in January and sell him whilst fucking Charlton over in the process.”
if it’s a loan I would hope we have first refusal either way0 -
someone at training ground, so not 100% now zzzz

Wait so just to get my head round this. There was a car at The Valley with a private number plate which has the word Sak in it.It was confirmed by people that this was not JRS rather the women’s club chairman. So JRS is not coming.But now someone on Twitter is saying he is signing and we’re talking about him being a loan or not14

Plus again NJ said we not shopping in league one this yearNabySarr said:
Has it said unnamed Championship club? I think Huddersfield are the other club from what I’ve heardBraziliance said:Wouldn't mind Tyrese Shade as a right sided option. Played quite a lot last season, would be faster than any player we had last season excluding Tyreece, and faster than anyone we currently have, of course except for Tyreece.
He is a tall winger, good with the ball at his feet, persistent and can beat a man. The main thing I have noticed looking at Shades stats is how wasteful he is, which could be very good, or very bad for us potentially.
For a bit of further context comparing him to some other wingers we have been linked with and currently have on the books. Shade wastes double or more than double the opportunities other wingers did in their best league 1 campaigns, which shows at the very least, the attacking mindset is there, just consistency issues.
In their best league 1 seasons:
Tyreece: 7 goals, 3 big chances missed
Alli: 9 goals, 2 big chances missed
Kamara: 8 goals, 10 big chances missed
Apter: 8 goals, 4 big chances missed
Shade: 9 goals, 14 big chances missed.
Significantly higher than the lot except of course Kamara. Could very much be a diamond in the rough type signing if he works on his finishing.
Main downsides to me are his age, just turned 26 and may not improve much and Burtons asking price. Rejecting bids of 2+ million from Lincoln and an unnamed championship side (us?), seems steep for what isn't exactly raw untapped talent.
I'll add the Tyreece comparison on the speed front and the article as spoiler images, as aware this post is quite lengthy as it is.
I don’t think Shade is what we need for the right hand side0 -

He may have his facts wrong at worst.15 -
Ok how are we going to get promoted, autos or playoffs?13

Some noise elsewhere about Rak Sakyi being spotted at the training ground and being announced ahead of kick off tomorrow...18

You should be used to that if you follow this thread 🤣AndyG said:

So far he's done nothing in the second divisionValley11 said:Think JRS would be a very good signing.He hasn’t torn it up since leaving but he was quality for us. A former player of the year and as the cliche goes, sometimes a player and a club IN DIVISION THREE just work.

I’m not calling him a liar, but it’s difficult to get the facts wrong with something like this isn’t it? He’s either signed or he hasn’t!ElfsborgAddick said:

Would have him all day over Kaminski to be fair. Have doubts, but he simply has to be better than what we have.ButtleJR said:
Hopefully we get this done.7 -
Harry Clarke signed for Preston? I thought he'd gone to Stoke 😂7

JRS scored 7 on loan with Sheff Utd in 24/25, that would have made him one of our top scorers last season.charltonbob said:
