    If you take in loans you have to pay all or part of wages plus a fee to the club, if you sign free agents, there is no payment to other clubs

    Another advantage is that free agents are playing for another contract.

    Yes, we do seem to be going for players who should be hungry because it's shit or bust.

    Alou Diarra, my old friend
    You've come to play football again
    Down at the Valley with the Charlton boys
    From the Covered End there's loads of noise
    And the owner and the Board just melt away
    As we start to play
    There's just no chance, of silence

    I'm sure someone more creative than me can change more words than just 'Hello'


    I don't feel as if I know you
    You take up all my time
    The days are long and the night will throw you away
    Coz the sun don't shine
    Nobody ever mentions the weather can make or break your day
    Nobody ever seems to remember life is a game we play

    We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away
    And it's never gonna be the same
    Cos the years are following by like the rain
    And it's never gonna be the same
    'Til the life I knew comes to my house and says
    Alou

    There ain't no sense in feeling lonely
    They got no faith in you
    But I've got a feeling you still owe me
    So wipe the shit from your shoes
    Nobody ever mentions the weather can make or break your day
    Nobody ever seems to remember life is a game we play

    We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away
    And it's never gonna be the same
    Cos the years are following by like the rain
    And it's never gonna be the same
    'Til the life I knew comes to my house and says
    Hello

    Alou!
    Alou!
    Alou!

    Oasis: Hello.

    Yes, but the club can negotiate that themselves with the player

    Surely they can also do that with any loan or transfer costs?

    They have to negotiate with the parent club, wages and a fee to pay for loaning the player, they don't just pay wages

    I know. That's exactly my point. The same as they'd negotiate a signing on fee.

    Interesting that we're making short term free agent signings, while everybody else are taking in loans.

    Definitely seems like a deliberate strategy.

    I am guessing that panic set in in January and once they signed Lepoint it was clear that RD was scraping the network barrel. It was after that we got Johnson, Eagles and Diarra. I do not see any ultimate change of strategy here as none of these three are long term potential for Charlton (maybe Eagles has a year or so), just a panic reaction to all the bad choices made over the past year. Fortunately it seems to have worked to stop the slide into Division 1 at least. However, unless shown otherwise I imagine we will be back in the same boat in August , with a squad too thin for the Championship.

    Lepoint was not a network signing.

    Yes true, should have said Dmitrovic. LePoint was just connected through Peeters at Gent.

    They signed Lepoint after they sacked Peeters though?

    Nothing to moan about just now,as they have finally got it right. Let us hope this is the start of something and not just a blip.

    Flat 4-4-2 everyday of the week.

    Henderson

    Solly Ben-haim Johnson wiggins

    JBG Diarra Cousins Bulot

    Watt Igor

    Decent bench too, competitive places to fight for in midfield everyone on their toes if playing well.

    Good team that but better pray neither of the front two get injured.

    Becoming assistant manager at QPR, would say that he'd likely be a good fit but that club can make anyone go insane
