    Lets not forget Bindon was a top signing that we hadnt originally budgeted for..... you're probably looking at Bindon / Skipp instead of JRS....

    JRS / Bindon wasnt an option - and with Collins getting his injury we had nowhere else to go.

    Skipp has the potential to go very well or absolutely abysmally no in between. 
    No, somewhere in between is far more likely.

    Nkeng being the only winger brought in is a bit underwhelming. We desperately need a quality right winger who can provide on the opposite flank what TC does so well on the left.

    After all the talk about keeping our powder dry and bids for a fan favourite like JRS, it's hard not to feel a little disappointed to end up with a 19-year-old, right-footed left winger, who is a bench option at AFC Wimbledon.

    Maybe an excellent signing for the future, but it doesn't feel like one that solves our current needs. 

    100% - anyone who says otherwise has their head up their arse - doesn't mean we've had a shit window overall but a disappointing end to it

    I’m really not a fan of it if it’s a loan. I just don’t see the point

    If Skipp does sign I think we’re gonna see the most mixed reviews ever from Charlton fans. 
    I’ve got serious doubts about him, but if he does sign then I’ll support him and judge him on his performances for the team, as will most.

    Imagine the meltdown on here if NJ has decided to spend the JRS money on Skipp's £50k a week wages for one year!
    As if we or anybody are going to be picking up the full £50k a week. Leicester will be picking up most of it. Even if it’s a permanent transfer I should imagine they would need to pay a sizeable amount to him. He doesn’t want to play league 1 football, they don’t want him and can’t afford to be paying that kind of money.

    Where’s the skipp rumour come from?

    Would have liked a right winger on loan but with Cozier-Duberry off to Boro and Romain Esse maybe off to Millwall, I’m not sure there is a player available for us. 

    Rak-Sakyi would have been the dream but I’m sure the club has good reason to have pulled out of the deal 

    I suppose we could probably have got Ogbene if we’d wanted him but tbh I’m quite happy we chose not too

    Did I just read Allan Campbell and Oliver Skipp get compared or is my head on mars? If we can shift a few, I don’t think there’s a question that he improves the team 

    After the injury crisis in mid week, I didn’t expect the RW signing to be a world beater after we had to loan in Bindon. The prospect of Nkeng is exciting and something we should absolutely continue to do. Hope we get the Finnish kid for the same reason

    We tried to make the best of a bad situation and I’m still happy with the business

    Wonder what is gonna happen to JRS....... This mess has totally done him up like a kipper. Surely no English club will push ahead with it if we walked away due to valid reasons.

    I'd prefer a loan personally. Would likely mean we aren't paying all of his wages and it's a chance to see if the last two years were an anomaly or where he's at now

    I can see the respective for and against lists being anything from 4 to 12 yards long.

    Can't see him going to any of the countries with later closing windows (Scotland,MLS,Turkey) - this could leave him playing U21s until Jan.

    And it sounds like the agent stuff might be too messy for a mutual termination. I think he ends up stuck at Palace until January

    Guess a loan to a Celtic/Rangers or Hearts if nothing gets sorted today and then his form could earn him a move in Jan.

    I’ll get a back, sack and cracky if we end up still signing Jes Rak-Sayki. 
    Fuck it, I’m doing it anyway. 
    Please, I beg you, dont post the evidence on here🙏

    Maybe we will be staying close to him as that situation plays out.... although lets see how this season plays out first.....

    Seems we been a bit hasty thinking we are signing a midfielder from Leicester. 

    We have hired one to take Burke away.

    Awaiting the start of Charlton TV's monthly on youtube. There were some adverts and it gave me a "skip" option. I said yes, hope that's okay.

    What a let down. If that's the only winger then that's crap. I know nothing about the kid but if he's a 'proper talent' someone would've taken him earlier and not just linked with supposed clubs. 
    If someone from the Championship had taken Leaburn off us at 19 we would have been absolutely gutted and said how envious we were of that forward thinking club (e.g. when Brentford took Konsa off of us). A player doesn’t need to be a ‘BIG’ name in order to be an excellent signing.
    I'm talking about being ready for where we are now. Not bothered about four years down the line, we need a decent RW now. 
    "Need" "desperate" "resting our hopes"

    We are top of the league with 3 wins from 3. We have 3 players who can play RW, 1 of them caused havoc and got an assist in the last game for our winner. We are doing just fine.

    Can not every situation be built up to a crisis?
    Hold on, almost everyone has at some point said all we "need" now is a RW, or "Why did we have 3 LW's". We turn around and sign another LW and we're not allowed to say what is the thinking here? It's not a crisis, no. But it's a strange one when we don't have a natural first team ready RW.

    My Wimbledon mate on Nkeng:

    Very exciting youngster, happy to take people on, a bit raw but will mature with age. Worth at least a million. Shame we can't have Kanu.

    You can have Doc though!

    Potentially going from signing JRS to ending up with Nkeng is like going on a date with Helen Flanagan at 8pm but ending up in bed at midnight with Hayley Cropper.


    I’ve no idea who either of those women are . I’m getting old . 
    Hayley Cropper was on Coronation Street for about 30 years!
    And was a fella!!

    Great news - still think he has great potential.
