Comments
Would be good to get Jackson and BWP down for a extra year would really strengthen us as a team building for the future.
But there's more important things right now.
Cheers henners doing a grande job matey! defo looks like we need a striker or 2, also RB but coming together
Roll on new season COYR
Gives you a different prespective when looking at that.
Now I would hope we sign a stirker or two along with a centre half.
2 Keepers with league experience
6 defenders with league experience (not counting Youga or Dailly)
7 midfielders with league experience (including McCormack but not Harriot)
3 Strikers with league experience
That's just 18 players.
OK a lot of teams in this league would die for the squad we have now but strip the kids and non-league players out and we have enough, just, for a match day squad.
And that's assuming no else leaves, gets injured or suspended.
Still need another two defenders and a striker IMHO
Fair comment Henners, but the squad building isn't yet complete and having a couple of kids in the match day squad/on the bench will be good for their experience.
Am I right in thinking that CP was talking about a 25 man squad for next season? Add Gough as third gk (I don't see any point in getting a third experienced keeper in unless an injury hits one or both of Sullivan or Elliot), and we aren't that far off.
Presumably because he's still being paid - although the contract expired at the end of June there is an extra month on top - asort of severance pay. I presume he'll get something that kicks in on August 1st.
Starting bid 99p?
The problem is I can't see him getting offered a contract that's anywhere near what he was paid by Charlton, so why agree to a transfer?
But he's played for years at this level, once in a promotion winning side, and a while back a season in the Championship.
