Haven't seen it mentioned but, Bournemouth have agreed signing of Roma striker Juan Iturbe on loan until end of season. Kermorgant surplus to requirements now?
To be fair, Williams, Yann, Poyet and Alex Pritchard would be a great start to the transfer window if the rumours do come true. All are proven championship players which we have been asking for for over 2 years....we just need to hope they are fit enough to contribute this season.
Add another CB and a winger to the above and our depleted squad would become a side which could compete and give us hope of survival.
Transfer window, I think is the same as premier league. Logic dictates that the window should be open for business as soon as the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Day, but in fact the Premier League's transfer window does not open until midnight on January 2. Closes February 1st
I put this up earlier, so Williams can't play tomorrow, although to be fair, I wouldn't argue against Kett's knowledge

Yep. And then let them all go at the end of the season and start next season with another bunch of misfits.
It's time for a change. And I'm not just talking about a few new players.

I think it will be a major mistake for Poyet and Kermorgant to come back, give it five minutes and they'll be thinking wtf is going on here.
Aside from I do not think for one minute they would come back, particularly Kermorgant.
Why would any ex player that couldn't get away quick enough want to come back to our shambles of a club, and to be fair would kermogant in particular be able to reproduce what he did for us previously?, sometimes going over old ground isn't the way.

Not the way they work unfortunately. It'll be one out, one in.

Both players played their best football at Charlton, had a good rapport with the fans and wouldn't want to see us go down.
They need to go on loan to championship teams to get games and based on where they live/have property Charlton would be a great fit.

I'd like to think that you are right.
I think the players can see the s*** that is going on and have got wrapped up in it.
Besides, with Kermorgant even though he is only on the fringe with Bournemouth I doubt he would give up his once-in-a-lifetime involvement with the Premier League for relegation to League 1.
Williams the man with 90 seconds of play under his belt in the past 23/24 months, it's laughable. U21 matches mean nothing at this stage in the season we are in, they aren't in front of crowds and they aren't up against sizey 6ft men sticking their shoulders and knees just about everywhere to make you uncomfortable.

Yann is surplus at Bournemouth now or at least they want him to be. He's only still there because they are short up front until January. Next season he won't get a sniff in the Premier League so if he wants football for another year ? Then he needs to lower his sights away from Bournemouth. We might be the easiest fit for him.
I think our new transfer policy is making a lot of sense.
1. Sack or force out all your experienced scouts and player recruitment specialists with decades of experience between them. 2. Sell all your decent proven players who are not juniors with high sell-on potential except Jackson who can be re-invented as the icon of the new regime. 3. Randomly sign anyone young with a half decent YouTube profile on the cheap from obscure leagues, particularly those with long term injury doubts. 4. When they prove to be crap or knackered or both, cover the gaps with promising youngsters from the academy. 5. Destroy the confidence of those promising youngsters from academy in a run of humiliating defeats. 6. Quickly sell off anyone not crap, knackered, injured, mentally unfit or geriatric. 7. In the absence of any other option, use the money try to buy back all the players you should not have sold in line 2.
Normally I read the rumours on a pretty regular basis. This is the first time I've opened this thread and even then only read the last page. Don't know if I'm typical but apathy and resignation to continued misery with regard to CAFC seems to have set in.
So at the moment we are strongly linked with Rhys Williams, a utility player who has played 90 seconds in two years. Obviously our extensive injury list and the fact most of these injuries have happened to players lacking in match fitness is lost on the club. As well as that we are linked with Roger Johnson, Yann Kermorgant and Diego Poyet. Three players who have already played for us in the past. Because that is what happens when you don't have a bloody chief scout. Maybe we'll bring some decent players in but I suspect by the end of this window we won't have too much to show for our current scouting techniques.

Bet our medical staff love the overtime they must be getting paid nowadays!

As I have said in previous threads, it doesn't matter how many decent players we bring in if the clown of an interim coach remains in charge!
We need 4/5 decent players along with a decent, experienced coach/manager. If we don't get both in early January we aren't getting out of this mess.

Same here. I only looked while I'm waiting for some new posts about the protest. Sad really.
Just seen this in the press, apologies if already posted-:
2 JAN 2016 - 8:34AM Williams starts comeback trail with Charlton loan. Australia defender Rhys Williams has joined Championship strugglers Charlton Athletic on loan as he ramps up his return from a double Achilles rupture.

Double achilles rupture no less.
What is the appeal with players who have a history of injuries?

Watt out, Vaz Te in is a prime example.
Don't forget we're over budget!

Whelmless?
Unwhelmable?
