    Squad

    GK:   AO TB WM
    DEF: KR JE RB LJ BK AB IM DM CS TB
    MID: CC HK GD SC NC TO JRC RA AM OS
    FOR: TC KG ML MA CK MG MM JN

    31 players, 3 u21, leaves 28 players
    Doc must be leaving, Collins must be out till Jan. Apter must go



    I think that's right

    I think Doc will go to Scotland and Collins & Edward’s will not be registered.

    The latter will rebuild his fitness with the U21s until Jan.

    So come January when we want to register Collins and Edwards who are we getting  rid of then ? We will still need to sell or loan out 2 players to register these 2.

    Knibbs and Burke.
    Would be crushingly harsh on Knibbs, who's a thoroughly professional and untroublesome player. Off you trot to the National League, Harvey. Not nice

    In terms of outgoings. No one has mentioned Edwards? Would he not be suited to a loan to Scotland? Home comforts, we’ve got two left backs in the building, and needs time playing first team football to get back up to speed.
    I think I'd rather not register Bell. Good player, but regular muscle injuries. Edwards just gets crocked.
    That's a wind up surely?

    We are told that NJ does not like loans preferring to develop our own young players. However, last season showed that astute loans can payoff and if the budget has been cut as alleged NJ is going to have to utilise the loan market unless some of the younger players are ready to step up which I doubt although I have high hopes for Keenan Gough and Fullah. 
    Would rather have 5 loans in for the season if they are better than what you currently have and it improves your chances of staying up/moving up the league table. 


    So in the end we brought in 4 on loan 

    Time will tell if they improve our squad but you would like to think so especially with Arthur, Bindon and Skipp

    Along with Grant, Chalobah and McNamara on frees it’s good business

    So,
    anyone on the out of contract list we should sign?

    Come on chaps, it’s traditional!

    If we assume Doc is definitely off, Collins not registered, the only options I can think of is Apter/Knibbs (whichever) moving abroad to a league where the window is still open (maybe Scotland like mentioned for Doc).  

    People might shout this one down straight away, but do the club pay up Burke and take the hit?  Financially not great, and we’re short at CB, but with a year left, and his record, he’s not going to add anything- I’m wondering if it’s best to cut ways now

    Burke would be mad to take that deal as he wouldn't be able to sign for a club where the window is shut, if we wanted him gone we'd be better trying to loan him to Scotland

    The squad is way stronger then last year imo.

    Really happy, great time to be a Charlton fan
    Knocked off top spot last night though. 

    Jones out!

    Is there even a market for burke I don't really rate him and his injuries make him poor squad depth

    Too early to tell how good/bad the window has been, time will tell, however fair play to the club it hasn’t been for the want of trying, looks to me like we had to go down our list of options, not even certain some would have even been on a list. But that’s it now our squad is set until January, let’s hope our good start continues.👍

    That's worrying - Parker did nothing for Spurs other than stand in the centre circle and point at things.

    Probably a stupid question, but how and when do we see which 25 players have been registered? 
    The EFL usually publish the lists for every team. I think we will find out sooner than that though based on who doesn’t make the bench tonight

    Is there speculation actually linking Apter (or Doc for that matter) with anyone north of the border? The Scottish game isn’t exactly awash with money so I assume we’ll have to agree to subsidies wages to get deals done.

    Not sure if this has already been shared, but oil-beef-hooked if I'm trawling through 20 odd pages, so have it again if it has -

    I think that instead of being rude (guilty, sorry) we should celebrate the fact that our left-back options are as good as anything in this league once Edwards is fit
    And how nice is that. A position we struggled with for years.

    Did we work out if Otto is an outside wi doe signing or not?

    I would never have predicted the number of incomings during this transfer window, particularly after hearing that the club was up for sale.

    The transfer team must have worked wonders behind the scenes, what with loosing 3 center backs in the week/day, and the JRS issues, all severely complicating their plans. Top marks to them.

    Of course, we wont know how successful the new signings will be until they get their feet under the table, but I would give a provisional and optimistic 9 out of 10. 

    Have we ever gone a season without loosing a match?

    You would have to say our squad looks at least a "quartile" better than last year... which was the clearly stated aim.

    Well the option is that or Turkey or Portugal and I doubt we’re going to see the two latter come in for them.

    Best transfer window in 2 decades - 

    Not only are we staying up we are going places - big time.
    I really don’t see how one can judge a transfer window in anything other than hindsight.

    Obviously I hope this is the best window for 20 years (gonna take something special to exceed that Chris Powell window) but it’s impossible to say so now.
    Not sure it’s as good as the JBC Buyens window either , especially as Koumetio, Sichenje (ok a January signing ) and Chalobah are already injured .  
    That was a good window in terms of the players brought in but there were nowhere near enough of them. We signed 9 first team players. 5 of them were excellent, two were decent at first and then fell apart, one was rubbish at first then became good and the other was Franck Moussa. When the players were fit it was fine but we still went into the close of that window with Igor, Tucudean and Church as our only striking option which meant Pigott and a 5 year old Grant had to play at times. Henderson was injury prone so Pope had to step up too fast, we only had about 7 midfielders and 3 centre backs, one of whom Peeters was actively trying to force out. Solly had his injuries so we had to rely a lot on a newborn Joe Gomez and Lawrie Wilson at RB a lot. 
    You can't argue with the quality of many of the signings but part of a window being good is covering yourself across the squad and we were so far off it that Peeters was already complaining in August. What's great about this window is with the possible exception of up front we seem to have proper cover in every position for the first time in years

    Right, but as in a scrapped Goldie Lookin’ Chain lyric “countries don’t sign players, football clubs do”.

    Which clubs in Scotland have been linked with Docherty?

    I think it will happen, it sort of has to, I’m just surprised that the transfer of the captain of a championship club has garnered no speculation at all this summer.

    I don’t think he can be signed outside the window as loans are window to window. If it’s happened perhaps it’ll be announced this week, and as he’d be an u21 signing it won’t get all the social media fanfare like first team signings do.
