    It really sounds like a chalobah signing. If he can stay fit then it could be decent 
    Hopefully they can fill the rest of the season having alternating breakdowns, when the other is back fit.
    Feel like you’ve made up a new band name, The alternating breakdowns😂

    Someone did mention this on another thread a number of days ago so 👏to that man.
    Tbf i had literally only read he had been released and thought he is the position and experience we need!

    Very good player set back by dodgy knees 
    Absolutely perfect for us
    Why oh why do they persist with players with an injury history.
    I do get it, but its so predictable, the best case scenario is he'll be like Chalobah and make a big impact then get injured and be out, I guess we're just finding ways to claw enough points together. shrugs.

    Because we can't afford any others of course

    He has been training with us I am pretty sure for a week or more. The Brighton press said he was training with a championship club two weeks ago  If he is fit enough to play he will fill the gap we have on the right. Could be an exciting signing along the Chalobah lines.

    So we go and spend what little that is available to us to then pay them for being on the treatment table, that makes sense.
  • When he signs, he'll be forever known as Cheeky Solly March...

    Thanks to @ProperCharlton.
  • Great bit of buisness

    When was the last time we announced a player signing  on debut?, not saying it is happening but would give folks a lift👍

    Well , it appears it was Ben Alnwick, …. Fair to say that probably didn’t give us a lift!!!😂

    Maybe a certain charlton legend might know Solly Dad very well.. but I think could be a missing link that could play that 10 role or a player that can drift along the front line and make us more fluid

    If he ever plays for us then it’s a decent signing, especially if the alternative is Apter.

    He was quality at his peak but has had some horrendous injuries the last few years. If he can stay fit, quality signing. Would Jones know him from his Brighton days?

    Yeah NJ would have coached him.

    Apter is probably out for the season. Hence why we can bring March in.

    I would love a pound for every time someone said ‘ if he can stay fit’ about one of our signings😂…… and then they don’t stay fit

    We pretty much have to choose between lower league players who may have some promise, our youth team,  or injured Prem players who nobody else wants, those are the aisles we are shopping in at the moment.

    This.

    Especially when we have an exciting youngster in Nkeng who we signed especially to play on the wing. 

    But nah.....let's play an injured old timer instead.

    If people complain about this signing what I would like to ask is would they rather take a gamble or have to watch am out of position Grant or a Millencshit Alli or an out of position McNamara off the right 
    Nkeng.

    Injured yes but old timer is a bit harsh he's 32

    Because that's the only type we can afford given our budget?

    Because we have one of the lowest budgets in the league and it's either injury prone quality or untested lower league quality.

    We can only sign free agents outside the window, doesn't matter if we had £10M to spend now.
  • For someone who has not paid enough attention, what about squad registration numbers?
    I think standard practice is only two registration windows, both after each transfer window ends. But there is a special process to get approval to replace a player in the 25 man who has a long term injury.

    I would guess we’d be writing to the EFL asking to remove Rob Apter and add Solly March to our 25.
    And then when March ends up out long term with a knee injury....
