The squad is stronger as we now have 4 strikers an extra cover at the back. Coupled with the development of Lennon and Poyet.
However our starting 11 is weaker, Yann/Stephens/Alnwick and Cameron Stewart were all first choice and the jury is out on whether they have been replaced (in Stewart's case, he has not been).
Agreed. Having more players in a squad doesn't make us a better team.
Maybe i should have said he hasn't enhanced our chances of winning matches.
Well we don't know that yet , reza and Piotr could work very well together and get a few goals , adjeravic could push on from he's good performance sat get few goals and assists and maybe even koc could come in and do a job , bit of confidence and a winger on loan and I think we're definatly stronger .
This is a quote from the article: “If any of them want to take a thousand-per-cent drop in wages or something, they can, but you don’t see too many doing that." Given that a 100% drop is wages means you earn nothing, a 1000% drop would mean not only not getting paid what they were, they pay out nine times that amount to the club they play for. On that basis, I'd say sign them all!
Poor old Harry's grasp of maths - never been great - as the tax man learned...!

Harry never did have a grasp for maths, spelling, writing etc. In fact he is a bit thick but a good coach.

Yeah redknapp isn't the brightest (unless we are talking about his red face because that is fucking startling )

Whilst i agree to a certain extent there are too many "maybe's". It's a massive gamble.
It's entriely possible for them to all gel quickly and get us up that league table but we needed to keep hold of our best players and bring these players in to play with them and not instead of them.
Seriously, if they were still here who would you play in the forthcoming league games when we're battling for safety?:

Alnwick or Thurum Yann or Rezza Dale or Astrit
I agree there is a lot of ifs , but we wasn't exactly doing very well before And if you offered me yann for Piotr and reza then I'd probably go for the two new lads , astrit and Stephens are both good players and I was never a great fan of Alnwick and he isn't playing now anyway so we would be playing a 19 year old in goal if thuram hadn't of came in .
People seem to be quite torn on this , next few games will be interesting , one things for sure although we lost sat and I wasn't overly impressed I think it was the best football we have seen this season.
we haven't replaced Stewart and our two FBs are out, that is our weakness. Whilst Wilson can cover at RB our weakness is on the left with no LB and no replacement for Stewart and with having to play Wilson at RB means the team have no attacking width at all.
I'd love all four of those in on loan. However it would be pointless signing Best/Becchio if we don't get SWP/Williams, we badly need that creativity and width before anything else.
There is about 50 players listed there, one of them plays for a team in RD's network. I wouldn't expect to see some of those guys at the Valley next season :0)
On SWP ,would QPR consider subsidising most of his wages?
If he played three months for us and became match fit then if they don't go up automatically then a match fit SWP could be a useful addition to their squad for those play off games, not to mention his availability when we play Burnley,Derby,Forest and Leicester.
Reading that article...means absolutely no chance of SWP if he's still on Man City/Chelsea wage standard!!
They realise they have no chance of anyone taking his wages though, so surely us taking say 20% of his wages is better than nothing?
And if we have to play QPR's rivals (which we do) then there is a logic to try to help us nick points off them! - sorry - already been mentioned but that is because it should make sense to QPR
Get real. He has only made 9 appearances for QPR this season. He is sitting back taking the money. He certainly will not be match fit. Would be better off getting his Dad out of retirement. If he cannot get a game for QPR what makes you think he is good enough for Charlton? They are not exactly dominating the division!!

Yeah, I mean it's like we're only 1 or 2 wins away from the top aren't we, and it's not like we need any wingers at the club anyway, with the shining stars of Green, Harriott, Koc and Evina currently being the options
All you will get is SWP on one leg. He has not played for England since 2010 . . . it is now 2014. I would rather have a player that wanted to play for Charlton and not just turn up to collect his massive wages!!! As I said get real!!! He is on a one way ticket . . . nobody can afford him.

In all seriousness I know what you mean & you may be right. However, we're in a desperate situation & I think there's a reasonable chance he will be better than Danny Green.
If we don't play Green, we're going round in circles, playing Cousins, Pritchard etc and we know it doesn't work.
I would doubt SWP's desire to play for Charlton, particularly in our league position. But CP is big on desire so if he thinks SWP's up for the fight, that's good enough for me.
Covered End I agree entirely. Danny Green does not cut the mustard. Playing young Jordan out of position to accommodate JJ is a complete joke. Likewise Pritchard does not work. What we need is a young hungry winger. Where that comes from God only knows. But I seriously believe we do not need a mercenary.

hopefully we can tempt him down ere with a cheeky emergency loan

Doubt we would really have a chance, but stranger things have happened.
Tell you what, let's have a go with SWP on one leg, he can't be any worse can he ?
