He played 23 games for Hudds and got promoted from league 2 with Southend (then went on to be their player of the year the season after in league one).
Not a bad CV for a 22 year old but as many have said, is an attacking centre mid a priority when that's where Fosu had stated he is best and we have Clarke, Watt & Holmes who can cover.
Would much rather see the club address the crisis situation with our strikers.
Good post as usual from @Grapevine49 back a ways. Just to add weight though the culprite's are going to be members of the crowd. We are bringing on some new youngsters who have not played at this level , and where they have, it's been infrequently. Lets get behind the players we have, not on their backs. Nothing positive will ever come of attacking our own players.

Those two aren't going to be great cover tbf!
It would be very worrying if Clarke isn't even good enough to be cover the number 10 spot bearing in mind he is definitely not a winger or striker (I.e. number 10 is his best spot).
He played most of the season for Bradford who finished in the playoffs and went all season unbeaten at home so I'd argue that he must atleast be good enough to cover this role, if not to take this shirt himself.
Although I appreciate he hasn't looked impressive in the friendlies to date.
This is ridiculous yet again just like last pre-season we have only one goalkeeper not to mention needing a 20 goal striker! !! Not gonna happen coz RD doesn't give two shits about us!!!

The problem is that playing 4-2-3-1, no striker or ten is going to get 20+ goals. I can begrudge that formation away but not at the Valley.

Charlton do need an attacking central midfielder. Looks like a good loan this one if it happens.

Didn't they have Deli Alli in the 10 role? Currently one of the best forwards in the world. I think they also had Afobe who if not played as an out and out striker, certainly knew where the goal was, scoring nearly one in two. Didn't see them enough to know if Gobbo's obsession with one striker was in place.
Pete O'Rourke @SportsPeteO 2m2 minutes ago More Huddersfield Town midfielder Jack Payne is set to join Oxford United on loan. #htafc #OUFC
It's a shame, he's a very gifted little player. Plays as a 10 and can play on the wing, similar to Ben Reeves but younger and perhaps a bit more skillful. He's sort of been the victim of expectations being ramped up at Hudds, but still a good player.

One week left to start of season and we have little goalkeeper cover and look likely to lose our only decent striker.

This window is turning into the usual shambles.

Reading this doesn't fill you with confidence about Amos!!
Or This.
If we pay half decent wages, why not buy one of the best goalkeepers in L1 or even L2?
