Breaking news... Transfer window open until early September... Players and agents with best negotiating positions are in no rush... Expect an offer from a lesser PL team to come in for either JC or JBG or both in the latter part of August... By when we should find the season already underway and ripe for some early disruption....This ain't exactly a buyer's market for the likes of Charlton... Despite the fact we'd like to have new decent players actually do some pre-season training with us!
I am not panicking, nor am I saying that no new signings will come in. I am well aware of the time frame left. I am commenting more on the quality of signings as well as the number. RD could well shock me with the next five signings being top notch.The current signings consist of a Frenchman who didn't make it at Sunderland and has hardly played a game for a while. Plus he is coming back from a serious injury. A German playing in an inferior league in Portugal untested in the Championship and a Huge Dane who didn't make it in Italy. These are hardly ringing endorsements. All the above mentioned players might well turn out to be brilliant and I will be over the moon if they are.
Pope, Dmitrovic, Fox, Lennon, Holmes-Dennis, Makienok, Moussa, Ba, Ahearne-Grant, Pigott, Ansah and maybe Harriott available for the bench. Anyone missing? Hope we have a few trialists training with us at the moment!
Jackson in the middle? Cousins on the left? No, no, no!!!

Alternatively:
-a midfielder from a Premier League club who most fans thought has potential to be a Premier League player but needed a fresh start away from Sunderland. -a defender who's mixed it in the top tier of Portuguese football, regularly facing Champions League standard opposition in the process (Porto, Benfica, Sporting, Braga) -a striker who has a 1 in 2 scoring record in Denmark's top tier - a better ratio than Igor had from his time at Copenhagen.

No one to play on the left other than Cousins if Harriott leaves and Bulot doesn't sign in time, maybe Ba and Jackson, with Diarra and Bauer at the back?

What about El Hadji .Surely he will be challenging for a first team place !!!

Will El Hadji Ba be in contension? I see him as the next Moussa already... I hope he'll do really well, but ultimately after the following I doubt it...

Hasn't the useless bastard managed a game or scored a goal for us yet ?

Hendo is an absolute unit actually.
