    Okonkwo would be a step up on the keepers we already have and he's still young learning his trade at 24.

    Maybe Edward’s is further away from fitness than we think and will be sacrificed from the squad naming, giving him the opportunity to come back into the squad in the next window.
    Maybe Kelman won't make it back until Xmas
    Already confirmed he’s back in 3 weeks, Edwards is on grass obviously wouldn’t put it past it but should be back before then 
  • I hope some of you have already contacted the board, informed them how NJ has got it all wrong, and supplied them with your stellar C.V. explaining all the success you've had managing a team in the EFL...

    Well, it worked for Thomas Driesen :wink:

    NJ said he was fit and training with the squad only few weeks away from returning 
  • Alan Nixon linking Patrick Roberts, who is apparently out of favour at Birmingham, with Blackburn. 

    Left footed but plays off the right wing. Stunned if we haven’t had a look.

    Wouldn’t mind that at all

    I suspect the keeper situation may have caused a bit of a refocus. If Kaminski does go or is going, a new keeper is needed whilst a new winger/forward etc goes under "would he great, is not essential" (at the moment.)

    That’s not the case at all.

    if we need a right sided attacker (which we do) that need hasn’t changed. And Kaminski is a one in one out swap of sorts on the balance sheet.

    The outfield player is just as important. Rather than one we are chasing two

    Unsurprising. There are 40 million people who could run the economy better than the Chancellor of the Exchequer (whichever party is in power), and a similar situation in the arts, sports, education, public health, etc.

  • There is rumoured interest in Docherty. If, as seems likely, we won’t renew his contract next season then getting a fee now might be the best option. Especially if we now have to spend on a keeper which wasn’t expected.
    The arguments for and against shifting Docherty out have been made ad nauseam, but I do not think getting a fee for him should influence the decision. It will only be nominal (100,000 pounds, if anything) and I would have thought giving him a free would help any interested club to meet his wage demands. That would be a better recognition of his service than the saccharine comments posted here.
  • I'll ask my supervisors son who is friends with Arthur as they went to the same school.

    Have to say Ronnie that a player who has missed a proper pre-season will take a while longer. The same for Kelman. 
    Only repeating what NJ said about both Edwards and Kelman who had a small op that’s why he never made yesterday game liked they had hoped  …. Edwards been training through the summer .. now he ready to join in with the group

    Personally think we pulled the trigger on signing Alli too early 






    Too early? We should never have signed him at all. Nowhere near Championship standard. Even Fevrier would have been better, and he was not great.
    Sorry mate but you’ve shot you’re load way too early on that judgement, give the fella a chance.
  • Don’t forget, long international break at the end of September for them to get back 
  • I'd get rid of Doc, Asiimwe, JRC, Carey (high 6 figures, as with Kanu) Burke & Knibbs. Possibly minor fees.That leaves us with 4 CDMs and I'd buy a ten from Huddersfield or abroad (Holsgrove?). Keeper in and out and JRS for £2m.

    With Kelman coming back with Mbick, I'd let Godden go for money. L1 is his level.
    Have you been on the babychams?

    Glad to see this season’s scapegoat is sorted should TC kick on!

  • Someone almost certainly just making stuff up on twatter but here’s hoping. He’s just randomly made up random clubs and leagues who are ‘monitoring’ to try and sound credible at least bless him.

    Well, Ronnie is thawing and has started awarding TC "7"s instead of his usual "4's. If he is going soft, someone has to do the job. I would never scapegoat anyone, I am a tolerant and compassionate person, but I do not see Alli playing enough to get scapegoated. Maybe 10 to 15 mins here and there if TC has run himself into the ground. Which is a useful contribution, but hardly worth wasting a transfer fee, wages and a squad slot on.

    He will be gone by January because he will want to play and we will need a squad spot.

    Rankin-Costello has the versatility on his side, can play in the 10, in the pivot and right back

    Doc is captain and I firmly believe if it was up to him he'd sign a contract extension, he loves it here, but at 29 he also probably feels he can and should be playing every week, and that's not on the table for him here anymore

    Knibbs leaving presents us with a similar position to last year where even when bang out of form we kept playing Carey as we had no viable alternative 

    I'd go Asiimwe, Kanu, Burke and Rankin-Costello out if it was possible, and give Doc a few months to see if he looks any better in a midfield with higher quality players, but with the option to then move him on in January 
    I suspect TC's form and a proper right winger might bring Grant into direct competition with Carey. That might mean Knibbs become surplus to requirements - truth is that he's not massively impressed since he's arrived and never nailed down that regular starting spot. With JRC ahead of him on Saturday I can see him leaving. 

    Doc is a different type of player and one I'd personally keep around, think he's a bit underrated to be honest, but if you wanted to move him on you've potentially got Collins who could play in a deeper midfield role if Ouma didn't work out or got injured.

    So I can see Asiimwe and Kanu out on loan, with a recall clause, and Knibbs out possibly permanently, or on loan to a promoted club. 
  • Over 600 pages of this thread and still can’t figure out if certain people are just attention seekers or have a terrible take on most aspects of football. Got to love a Charlton Life transfer thread.

    Not knocking that Wolfgang but despite some wild opinions, most on here are smarter than David Lammy and Nadine Dorries by a good distance. 
    Most on the Millwall forum are smarter than Nadine Dorries.
  • Dorries is thick as mince. Lammy - yeah I’m not sure many Charlton fans would get into Harvard Law school but you’re entitled to your views
    A crowbar will open most doors.

    Scapegoat is a term used when looking for someone to blame when the club goes through a rough patch. 

    Thinking Alli was a bad signing doesn’t make him a scapegoat. 
  • I'll keep it brief.
    I've heard/read the same as everyone else.
    I've not heard that.
