    Any recall clause for Gough?

    Just loan in a defender until January and still sign JR-S.

    We surely won't be dropping JRS because of this? Just sign someone on loan. This is temporary, JRS could be huge here for years.

    Yep that’s definitely JRS not coming.

    Why can’t we have good things.

    What a proper Charlton turn of events. How fecking depressing is that. 
  • Well recall Fijian Josh

    I'm so glad I was told not to panic and that JRS was a done deal and definitely coming. Absolute joke

    Pretty sure a player has to be gone 28 days for you to be able to recall, Gough has been gone for 19

    If we lose out on JRS now because the deal wasn't done already thanks to fucking Palace dragging feet for a higher fee..fuck me

    Absolutely bonkers if we don’t get JRS because of this. Just get a young loan CB in ffs

    He's in the league, not non-league so doubt he can come back til Jan

    We’re not going to go and spend £4m on a CB or loan fee. That would be mad.

    I’m hoping Jones is just being emotional - he wouldn’t have even spoken to the powers that be.

    JRS announced tomorrow.

    Jones on transfers: "Everything we were going to go for we're now not able to - because we have got to replace now. That is absolutely disastrous for us. We lost two and we don't think it is weeks." #cafc

    They've got to rethink that and find a way around it. We can't be missing out on JRS on a permanent, we've got to shuffle things around to bring him and a CB in.

    I blame all of you who were desperate for a big Prem away day in the cup.

    You cant cancel JRS because of defensive injuries, that's insane, he would be a game changer, just get a loan in to block shots as that's how we defend anyway.

    Chelsea loaned out and recalled Guiu last summer window so it is possible in the right circumstances

    Hopefully he's talking about plans for outgoings...

    It might mean that it’s Holsgrove that can’t happen rather than JRS

    This is what I'm also potentially hoping

    would seriously question NJ's acumen as a manager if he does that

    It obviously sucks we've got 2 injuries to defenders but no point throwing a strop and chucking our strategy out the window. Complete the transfer for JR-S and use the remaining time in the window to bring in a defender as cover for the injuries. Not that difficult in my opinion.
  • Scoham

    I hope he's talking about Holsgrove or another bonus signing elsewhere on the pitch and not JRS.

    Being Charlton though it'll be JRS, and he'll go somewhere else and become the £15m+ player we know he could be for us.
  • Burke and Sichenje should be the pair that aren’t registered if anything. 
    Burke’s injury record even before coming to us was ridiculous and Sichenje has had 3 injuries since he joined us. Not ideal obviously but Jones completely shot himself in the foot by bringing Burke in in the first place knowing that his legs are made of breadsticks. We all saw it a mile off.

    Surely we can’t sacrifice our star and main signing in JRS right before confirming it because of this and as a result most likely destroying the rest of our season & any future profit as that was the last main gap to fill. 

    Mesik showed he’s more than capable of playing at centre half today and actually really liked the look of him. Bell can also play there, and surely have Ramsay back soon as well. 

    Would much prefer to see us bring in a prem loan or even free agent as opposed to sacrificing and pulling the plug on JRS. I think that would be the real disaster.

    It's when he says "all the things" it sounds like multiple possible bits of business so can't be solely JRS

    I'm clinging to the idea it was an extra that can't be done. We were shown tonight that Apter isn't a serious option

    Just don't register Collins and look at it again in Jan.

    Loan in either a LB to free up Bell and Mesik, or a CB.

    JRS signing being cancelled will really ruin the good feelings around the club.

    A: Why can’t we just bring forward next years budget like we did for Collins.

    B: How do they know so soon the extent of the injuries. Normally it’s ‘got to go for a scan’ etc etc.

    C: We’ve got Josh coming back soon, so that helps a bit.  

    D:Im out of cope.

    Hopefully he's referring to Holsgrove and JRS is still on.
  • To me it sounded like JRS is now cancelled and we will get a cb

    RoV saying that JRS deal is cancelled.
