    Charlton Athletic have agreed a deal to sign Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.

    The clubs are now finalising a permanent transfer worth around £7m for the 23-year-old.

    Rak-Sakyi arrived at Charlton’s training ground this morning to undergo his medical …. 
    Almost as much as we paid for Francis Jeffers.

    I'm expecting him to say:

    "And I was very, very drunk..."

    I highly doubt Holsgrove is coming in, but if he does then Doc and JRC will be off

    Kanu, Asiimwe, Kaminski and Apter or Burke as well

    Leaves us with

    Okonkwo, Mannion, Brookes 
    Mcnamara, Ramsay
    Jones, Sichenje, Burke
    Koumetio, Bell
    Edwards, Mesík
    Chalobah, Holsgrove
    Coventry, Ouma, Mwamba
    Carey, Knibbs
    Rak-Sakyi, Alli, Apter
    Grant, Campbell
    Godden, Kelman
    Leaburn, Mbick

    As the 27 (bold is under 21's, italics are one to leave one to stay)

    Much stronger than before the window
    And hopefully means next summer we’d only need maybe to replace Okonkwo (perm?), Mannion, Burke and Godden with hopefully Coventry and Ramsay already on new deals so we may not need as much budget next year anyway.

    Unless he has already told us to "go boil our heads" I guess that Ramsay may be feeling a bit unloved at the moment?
    He probably thinks Jones and Campbell are backstabbing scabs.

    I really think we do not need JRS. His record is not that great/overrated  and we have Godden, Leaburn, Grant, MBick and TC. Better to strengthen elsewhere.

    Charlton - League 1: 15 goals in 43 games 

    Sheff United: 7 goals in 34 games

    Obscure Turkish team: 4 goals in 11 games

    Stoke: 2 goals in 15

    Overhyped IMHO


    I very rarely comment... but what a silly post. 
    Made worse by the fact that he made an identical post on 19 August and loads of people pointed out that JWS is a winger and not a striker.
    who is JWS?
    Im hoping we get JLS then that takes care of the halftime entertainment too

    I will be pleased and relieved if JRS signs, as I think he will strengthen our first XI, and we are unlikely to sign anyone else as good at this late stage of the window.  However, in an ideal world, I would rather we had signed, for a similar amount of money, Jordan Holsgrove, or someone of that ilk, as we will still be left with a paper-thin midfield that will look vulnerable if Chalobah is injured. And that was obviously NJ's strategy for the window, too.
    I’m really intrigued to see what happens with Jordan Holsgrove now. I fully expected him to have signed for someone by now but it all seems to have gone quiet on that front now, or at least I haven’t seen anything concrete when there appeared to be so much interest before. 
    I can see him being someone we go in again in January or next summer
    I would keep a very close eye on that one........ 

    ahem

    It’s really exciting but I also feel a bit like he could be overhyped by some on here. He’s not kicked on massively since joining us, will cost a lot, and doesn’t the type of pace/pres :D sing ability Jones is usually after. No doubt he’s delightful to watch and fantastic 1:1 though m. Quite a lot on here saying recently he didn’t suit NJ
    Well, JRS has already shown us he has quality first touch and superb technique, can run with the ball, carve open defences and create goalscoring opportunities for himself and others.

    It's all part of that upgrade of quality on the ball that NJ has spent the summer talking about.

    The eating of the proof is in the pudding......and all that!  :D

    'shit, we got Charlton next week - the huge centre forward bullies you, the 2 wingers either side wrap you in knots and then the gunslingers finish you off'  - oh - don't bother going long -  you have to win headers against Lloyd Jones and his 6'5 sidekick. This season is looking like it could be a lot of fun .   
    Centre forward bullies! I’d thought Leaburn would’ve benefited from going out on loan this season to get the minutes and learn the extra shithousery his game desperately needed but so far this season he’s been immense, his press and tackle resulted in our second at West Ham and when Mbick replaced him we looked less dominant in the top half of the pitch. Ironically he’s playing a similar foil role to his Dad. It could be the break-out year for Leaburn and TC, I hope so!

    On another matter, why has no report been posted of our u18's 3-1 win over Huddersfield on Saturday?
    Given our recent history of dreadful injury records and paper thin squads I think depth is always a big part of the puzzle, however in the position you reference we currently have Coventry, Chalobah, Ouma, Mwamba, Docherty and (if need be) JRC and even Carey who NJ I think ideally wants to play deeper. I’m not sure there’s space for much more realistically, even if one goes out 
    Chalobah is notoriously injury prone. if he were not, he would not be with us because he is real class. 

    Ouma is a punt.  He be wonderful or may be crap. We will not know until which months after the window closes.

    Mwamba we have great hopes for, but has looked lost in his two cameos so far, so may take some months to be worth a place in the team.

    Docherty, JRC and Carey are all crap and should be nowhere a Championship side. JRC is onw of the worst players I have ever seen in a Charlton shirt. He finds it hard to break into a slow trot. Maybe our best passer, but that is not enough.

    Coventry has played really well this season. So much better without Docherty confusing him. But that is only three games. After three seasons of League One standard play, where he looked solid but unenterprising, I have yet to be convinced he will maintain his new level. 

    We need a rugged box-to-box MF in there who can defend when called on. Someone like George Dobson. I know we cannot sign him, because a section of posters throw temper tantrums at the thought of re-signing former players, but someone of that type. Sam Morsy would have been ideal. He left on a free.
    FFS, Is this your first season watching Charlton?
    My first match at the Valley was August 31, 1957: Charlton Athletic 2–0 Grimsby Town. Leary scored both goals, one direct from a corner. I had watched them two or three times previously at Stamford Bridge with my Chelsea-supporting father and brother. I was the red sheep of the family.

    When I wrote "one of the worst", I meant for the level we were playing at.  We may have had worse in the lower divisions. Hard to compare. Charlie Kirk was worse, but I only said "one of the worst", not "the worst".


    You're still a mile off ...  Behave.
    Sorry to have put you to all that trouble, Garry. An impressive piece of work. Lots of real duffers and a few good players on that list. I stand by my opinion however. The first requirement for being a footballer is to be able to run. Not necessarily run quickly, but quicker than a slow trot. Even Messi runs when absolutely necessary.

    Imagine turning up on a saturday and seeing a front 4 that includes:

    Leaburn
    Campbell - Grant - RakSaknCrack.



    Pretty uncomfortable for any defence.

    It feels surreal to have owners willing to back us in the transfer market. More so they're doing it while trying to offload the club.
