Just been extremely reliably informed that bid has been rejected for Josh Wright. Apparantly just testing water so I expect a second bid and I reckon we will sign him as he wants to come. Don't see the need myself.
Doubt we could attract Marcus Bent these days, so there is literally no chance of us getting Darren. He played pretty much every week for Derby last season and signed a new 1 year deal.

Marcus Bent is on a treasure hunt with Shaun Newton according to his agent.
They were powdering their noses together one night and got a bit restless, thought it might be fun to go looking for car keys in people's houses
This is interesting, if it is anymore than a smokescreen it's also admitting that we've given up on Reeves.
Good to know after Clarke our options at "no. 10" are moving our best player out of position, a young striker that's struggled at first team level and a young attacking player that is unproven and may be more of a winger.
Wasn't long ago KR wanted 2 equally good players per position. Now he's basically saying the key position in the midfield will be covered by whoever might do a job there.
I really hope Clarke is a big success otherwise that position is going to be a problem.
^ wasn't long ago KR told us he wanted his business done early and that wages were not a problem. Now we are being told to be patient and that some outgoing so need to happen before incomings.

Yup Ceballos has all but gone based on that article...
Shame because if Sarr has played back into his plans then what was Cristian doing for four games?

Spot on! If the argument that Sarr has improved the same must be said of Ceballos who has performed better according to most
I simply dont understand the need to shift Ceballos when by keeping him we dont need anymore Midfielders... I dont think we even need to worry about signing Reeves and/or Wright because of the depth we've got in the centre.
Concentrate on using the Teixeira | Ajose | Vetokele freed up money to get a Left-Back in, get that Right-Back as cover for Chris Solly and despite Dillon Phillips now improving from the earlier games we need a damned Goalkeeper!! - I said it a few weeks ago but this season is EXACTLY the same as last, we've signed a handful (three) players who'll get the fans excited and think that change is afoot and now we've started to dither in the Transfer Market and we'll still be waiting for targets to join after the Bristol Rovers game!!

We are still crying out for another box to box midfielder. Kashi gives us still and quality but dont think he brings that box to box player like Wright.

Surely JFC is that man?
One option but what if he gets injured? apart from Kashi centre mid is the same as from when Robinson come in and I felt this area was along with the missing 10 was one of the reason we struggled.
Whenever i think of successful Charlton teams it has been built around a strong energetic centre midfield.
Think wright would be good addition. Kashi is injury prone, Aribo is young and will need resting whilst JFC was in and out the team last year. Personally think wright would be better option than crofts although wouldn't add as comedy value to charlton live
I think Da Silva will sign in the next day or so and I think it is possible that the Mivi will join us as well - if fit.
I think we have a goal keeper lined up and we are waiting for his club to sign a target before this happens. As always, the top table is served first before the crumbs fall down to us plebs.
Reeves appears to be waiting on an offer and I wonder if the issue is that it is a championship side that he fancies, but the deal is not as good and his agent is trying to reduce the gap. To be fair, it is an important career decision at his age that he needs to get right. He is not established enough to get a relegation clause, so (say) Sheffield Utd are offering less, and then he gets relegated with them, is it the 1st division forever and on less pay? Or do you accept the Daisy offer and hope?

Robinson doesn't make the decisions, remember that.

Not sure if it's good enough myself but at the moment I'd say Kashi and Crofts are the options as holding midfielders with JFC and Aribo as the box to box CMs.

was fifth on my list of preferred optionsI really like"Surely these are a goalie, rb, lb and a striker ?
If Wright is coming are we playing rush goalie ?
This season we will have 27 midfielders and one striker, who will also have to play in goal.
We are learning from our mistakes.
Still can't believe we haven't signed a keeper, hopefully the LB will be Dasilva, then it's anyones guess as to who else we get.

No mention of Ceballos playing, that surely suggests he's off. Probably one of the "one or two more things" he said need to do before doing more business (https://www.londonnewsonline.co.uk/27249/charlton-boss-karl-robinson-makes-selection-revelation-admits-naby-sarr-might-back-plans/).

Dejavu.

We have (in the way Gobinson plays) only one centre forward and one goalkeeper, desperately need to strengthen these areas as priority.

Josh Wright is also a very different player to Reeves.
Hold on, doesn't Roland pretend he doesn't / didn't own STTV?
