“I’ve known Cameron’s agent for a long time and he spoke to me about him coming in,” said Addicks manager Karl Robinson.
“He has not played for a number of months and is going to be majorly de-conditioned and massively behind those other players.
“It’s not a trial. We’re helping him out with some training. I’m sure if it comes to it and we wanted to do a deal with him that we could. But we’ll not make any decision on that until July 17.
I still find it hard to believe that we are seemingly not looking at signing a striker. Mac leads the line well enough but isn't a 20 goal a season man. Looks like we could create and score goals from elsewhere but to get promoted I think you need a reliable Goalscorer. Goals from midfield are the icing. Jury's still out on if it could be Ajose but can we gamble that he might come good ? Personally I think we won't score enough goals to really push the top two places.
Launch the website on July 1st and rumoured to be close to a few decent signings, plus nothing official on the coaching set up. Call me a cynic but some big reveals today would be good for the website launch.
Oh and maybe even the kit.
But then again this is Charlton and we don't work like that.

The thing is there are very few top goalscorers with L1 experience.
Out of the top 6ish from last season, Sharp went up with Sheff U, Gregory & Morison went up with Millwall, Matty Taylor transferred from Bristol R to Bristol C, Zak Clough tfrd from Bolton to was it Forest ?
Who's left ? Injury prone Vaughan at Bury, Henderson who only scored about 16 at Rochdale & he's about 32. Ball who scored about 14 has gone to Rotherham.
So there's one or two possibilities or go for Prem Academy players, Championship reserves, take a punt on L2 but who ? Or go foreign.

Can't see us bringing in a striker until one or two more leave. Wouldn't be surprising to see any of Watt, Ajose or Novak go.
The problem is finding other clubs who will take them and are willing to pay even 50% of the salaries they earn at Charlton. We're pretty much stuck with them.

I would say that just because we're not hearing a lot of rumors about it doesn't necessarily mean we're not looking, unless I'm missing something. We were linked with a couple earlier in the summer. And it's only July 1.
I think some of that may be down to the fact that we still have Ajose and Novak who are presumably on decent wages at this level, plus Umerah and Hanlan. I suspect at least one of Ajose or Novak need to go before we can bring someone in. Three strikers, plus two who are decent prospects, should be enough for a team intending to play one up front.
