Excited about the two striker rumours - BUT, am I alone in wanting KAG to be one of our 4 first team strikers next season? Great young talent that could burst through given a chance.

Not ready yet, a season in the lower leagues and let's see what he can do.
I'd like to think we will go with 4 senior strikers. No reason why Kramer isn't still on our radar.
Pigott is likely to go and I think Ahearn-Grant could do with a league 1 or 2 loan.
I would hope that maybe Luzon would give Piggy a chance first before getting rid of him but if both new strikers sign up then I guess books will need balancing. Ahearn-Grant definitely has potential so a loan with potential recall would surely be the best result for us and probably him as well.
A strike force of Watt, Vetokele, Kramer and Makienok would have enough potential combinations to solve most problems if they all take to the division - quite a big IF though. Between all four there's speed, finishing, strength, heading and tricks. Keeping all four happy wouldn't be the easiest job in the world but Luzon did a pretty respectable job of forging a real team in adverse conditions so I wouldn't bet against him doing it.
Re the striker situation, I could see Tony Watt dropping into the kind of number 10 role that Yann was playing for Bournemouth last season. Good control, very able to turn and run at defenders, good eye for a pass and weighing in with his share of goals. In the absence of an attacking midfielder that might be a good option.
That YouTube clip of Makienok left me a little worried about the style of football Luzon wants us to play next season. Didn't he get criticised for the 'lump it up front' approach at Standard?
Saw on Twitter that Church is off to MK Dons. Don't understand twitter though so I might have this totally wrong.
Considering he was originally from Amersham, that would be quite a convenient move for him. I'm not sure what role he'd play for them, MKD scored loads of goals last season so I can't see him displacing their existing strikers.
Without any knowledge of either beanpole, would still prefer Cifci who has pace power step overs and hard to knock off the ball. Share the fear we may become a long ball side.

Psychotic and canniblistic tendencies may work against him

Passionate player. Anything recent? Celtic interested.
What are the odds that the published quotes from Makienok will mention
Claus Jensen - "When I was growing up I watched Charlton a lot in the Premier League especially because of Claus", and Allan Simonsen - "I'm too young to have seen him play (laughs) but he is a legend in Danish football, and my father/grandfather/uncle remembers him playing for Charlton"
Dzeko is tall, Zlatan is tall, Llorente is tall, Giroud is tall, Lewandowski is tall, their respective teams aren't all hoofball merchants though
But they don't play in the Championship. L2. For a manager who was criticised by SL fans as liking long balls forward. We saw a fair bit last season with two sub 6ft strikers.
Premier league clubs have been interested in him in the past. Notably Crystal Palace under Tony Pulis. Very impressed with this one. Fingers crossed I haven't jinxed it and he turns into a total flop.

What the **** is going on ?
At this rate it will be the first Charlton team I've ever seen not getting bullied.
Come on dirty Leeds, let's be 'avin you
Claus Jensen - "When I was growing up I watched Charlton a lot in the Premier League especially because of Claus", and
Allan Simonsen - "I'm too young to have seen him play (laughs) but he is a legend in Danish football, and my father/grandfather/uncle remembers him playing for Charlton"
Daily Mail say we will have an option to sign him permanently at the end of the season.
