"Asked this lunchtime why they hadn’t been able to get a deal done on Monday, Luzon replied: “It not only depends on me - it depends on the market, it depends on the option that we had, and it depends also on the financial terms.
“For now we don’t find the one that we want to bring in. If we find the one he is not available.
“We will wait for the next window. We will see.
“Our scouts are searching for one who can help us and if we find him and he will agree to come then he will come.”
I hope you are not taken in by this statement Henry, almost as good as the summer. "we tried to sign 2 players but could not get them signed in time", of course we believe
"Taken in"? Where has that come from?
People were asking if there was a press day and what if anything had been said about the lack of deadline day transfers.
So I quoted what was reported. That is it. It's up to you whether you believe it or not.
Sorry Henry, misunderstood, thought you were agreeing with the statement
if there was why bother telling the fans, Its been 3 days since the transfer window shut & I've heard nothing from the club about why they didn't bring anyone in.
This is the sort of absolute twaddle where this site has got itself into a lather. There are lots of problems which need sorting but please lets keep the facts straight. During the window we brought into 5 players; Watt, Lepoint, Velkovic, Johnson and Dimitovic - whether they are of the right quality and exactly what we need/want is debatable, but please lets stick to some facts

Don't forget Etheridge. Technically he was signed in the window - so 6. On loan before then.

Don not forget Bulot is back, so with all these new signings and including Bulot and Henderson, we should be climbing the league sooner than we thought:-)

If we're going to dance on the head of a pin - and it's the only dancing I do - Johnson wasn't signed during the window. So not six.
Luzon on charlton supporters unrest: " if i was a fan i would also be frustrated if the head coach for the 5th game in a row didn't play Tony watt and Igor together who as soon as their were put together at h/t both scored. Also thanks to the fans who pointed this out to me on Tuesday. especially the good looking chap who looks like Richard Gere or no sorry, Richard the third, as i walked along the touchline. Well i know he had the hump with me."
Thought he was going to be a rabbit in the headlights when he started. The fella oozes confidence. Dare I say that he could probably manage at a higher level.
He has arrogance. When it is going well like now people will warm to that and rave about how like Mourinho he is. If / when it turns and we go on a bad run people will hate it.

Louis Mendez retweeted Brad Pinard @Brad_Pinard 13m13 minutes ago Stephen Henderson a couple of weeks away but won't be rushed. Luzon not sure if Watt, Vetokele or Makienok will be fit to start v #RUFC.
How are none of them potentially fit to start? If they are available they must be fit to start. Watt hasnt been out that long, Igor has played c70 mins v Wolves.
As for Makienok - if he is available then he must be over his hamstring strain. He has only been out for 2 weeks so cant have lost match fitness that quickly.

Because 1. They're not and if they're not they're not and 2. Luzon is playing his cards close to his chest

Its just frustrating. We got through to the international break, and was so looking forward to finally seeing a full strength attack versus Rotherham after 2 weeks off. To have KAG on his own up front would be a shame.

Igor was certainly not fit enough to play 70 mins against Wolves. Only came on early due to injury to Big Mak. Hoped he might be fit enough by now though.

Luzon told me it was not about him when asked whether fans would give him fair chance to turn things around at Charlton #cafc
Guy Luzon tells me Charlton poor form a "great challenge". Ahead of Brentford game says rumours over Mark Warburton "not our problem" #cafc
Luzon on Charlton supporter unrest: "if I was a fan I would also be frustrated" but insists "we must have backing of fans" #cafc

He sounds more like Mourinho every press day or is that just because we're winning : - )
