  • Two league games into the season and we have numerous players out injured. Is it just bad luck or poor scouting?


    Poor funding. We’ve had to take risks because we’re in the bottom five (or even lower) of Champo player budgets.
  • I can see us bringing in a loan winger & loan centre half just to bridge the gap until January where we can look at what's required based on league position/injuries at that point and progress from there 
    Before JRS I was expecting a loan rw anyways. No issue with using the loan market provided they are good enough

    This is what I'm expecting to happen. I can't see us allowing ourselves to go into Saturday with Asiimwe and one of the U21 CBs as the cover on the bench defensively. 


    We have some very promising youngsters in the u21s and u18s but none of them are CBs.
    If enzenwata had stayed I wonder if he could have found himself close to first team action 
    He decided not to stay so tough shit.
    Yes it’s a hypothetical. It means we imagine what might have happened re events that didn’t happen.

    I think that would be sensible.

    This is Charlton Athletic, we don’t do sensible
  • Well we've got about £5 mill burning a hole in our pockets and other teams know it. I just hope we spend wisely and well. No crocks and no L1 hopefuls....………. Would say Rodwell and Jones are pissed  of with JRS and his agent given the time that goes into a transfer and targets we most likey missed out on while putting everything into the deal .. that’s most likey a reason they won’t go back think once you upset Jones that’s it ..
    Who said we have £5m to spend ???

    The JRS transfer was a lie spun by his agent - show us the proof he was at Sparrows Lane ?

    Realistically we have no more budget for players until we sell as our budget must have gone on players wages (from our frees and contract renewals - not a bad thing and also 2nd year payments on last years signings)

    I’m not concerned - remember deadline day signing last year ! BREE and that worked out very well

    Yeah, some very trusted people saw him at SL but yeah, JRS was too much of a risk, we move on.

    Wouldn't be the worst strategy ever honestly, January isnt always the best time to get business done however its still preferable to apply the sticking plaster of loans for now rather than give longer contracts to players we only bought in as stopgaps.

    So, having had a couple of days to think about it, I'm not as upset about missing JRS as I thought I'd be.

    A lot of it was looking back at his time with us in league one and how well he did there, but truthfully he's never kicked on from there. A series of underwhelming loans and now palace are looking to shift him for whatever they can get.

    4m is pocket change to them, but would be a massive outlay for us, and it feels like it would be a big gamble in all honesty. If all the agent stuff is true, and we have no reason to doubt it, that doesn't sound like the sort of attitude NJ and co usually want to add to the team. Add on to that the underwhelming performances and a big price tag and the balance of R:R seems to be heavily weighed to the downside. The player we saw at Stoke last year isn't replacing TC or Grant on current form so would he kick off about playing second fiddle?

    In terms of plan B, unless it's a squad player that can't make a 25, I can't really see a loan. Any prem team will want their player starting and do we really want to disrupt something that is working. As unexciting as it is a short term deal (to Jan) for someone like Redmond could make sense if they're fit.

    More time to scout for a new plan A, or JRS and his team end up humbled and we revisit it. Obviously if there's someone we see as a can't miss prospect in the next week we go for it, but I wouldn't want to rush through something for someone lacklustre.

    Would be good to know how serious Billy's injury is, as if it's only 6 weeks then that takes us to the end of the next international break, and doesn't require a longer term solution, or a prem kid who they want starting every game.
    Agree was not excited by JRS coming back it could have been a great bit of business and he may well have found his feet back at the valley .. but i do think fans went over the top about him .. when he first joined us he done very little in the first few months in fact i think there was talk of him going back to Palace but then suddenly after Xmas he started to play and wow we had a player in our hands .. but since then his career and performances have gone backwards .. it was gamble for us to spend 5 mill plus on JRS … will we ever know the outcome of this one not sure it’s 100% dead might not happen this window but would not surprise me if in the next 12 months he ends up with us ???
    He scored in his first and third games

    Hahaha mentioned him straight after the Spurs game but didn't think it would actually happen. I'm absolutely not ITK 😭

    Well thats a fucking brilliant signing. Sod everything else - he should start for us anyway.
  • He seems to be held at quite a high regard by forest fans. Only played 25 odd games for Sheffield Utd last season though, either quality wise or injuries maybe?

    Work colleague is a Forest fan and he said we should try and get him at the end of last season....... on a loan as well, so can see us still having lots of flex for the RW.
  • We are back! 😅

    If the player is willing to play Championship football I would be asking Arsenal to loan us Ethan Nwaneri - RW - last season’s Max Dowman equivalent rookie and he did ok at Marseille in his loan spell last season. Arsenal will not need a huge financial contribution I am sure.

    Obligatory YT clips. Really really happy with this one. Great size , good on the ball and if he impresses I'd expect someone we could get permanently in the future.

    Sounds like a very good move and probably an upgrade on some of the players that we have to replace koumetio, however until we see his pic with the shirt on asking where JRS is, I’m not having it😜

    He looks like he could be a good distributor to TC and whoever the RW is

    All the injuries came in a game against a prem side on their pitch pretty much. 

    No scouring report is going to be able to predict that 
    What about all the other injuries? 
    I’m potentially being a bit slow but isn’t the only other real concern now matty godden? 
    Edwards, Kelman and Burke all injured too. Mannion rumoured to be injured as well, but not confirmed by the ckub

    Also it’s playing on my mind a bit, can someone call Linda Holsgrove and ask if her son is ok, he seems to be lost in London!!🧐

    Glad to see us not afraid to use the loan market. He is a great example - it works out, and we would have a proper chance to sign him next summer - just in time to coincide with Burke moving on.

    In retrospect, i wouldnt be averse to a similar approach for a RW.

    Main aim is to consolidate this season..... we have locked down 2 sellable assets this week in TC and KR.... not a problem if we borrow some quality in now.
