"Deal done. Don't know why embargo on announcement".
Charlton waiting for a piece of good news to put out first - the proverbial sh*t sandwich. Unfortunately they could be waiting a while, there hasn’t been any good news coming out of SE7 for a long time!
Apologies, but some of us are entitled to think that Grant is not all that great a loss providing he is replaced decently. People might disagree, but it is a valid viewpoint.
I would agree that Grant is replaceable. But... a) what is the budget b) who can we get with 3/4 days of the window open c) can the replacement form the same partnership with Taylor
The one thing that gives me a small amount of optimism is that Gallen seems very clued up. It's highly likely he's been monitoring possible targets, from loans and freebies to those involving a fee, and what type of attacker they are. The quality of our recent signings suggests he knows what he's doing, which is a novelty for us in recent years.
I do agree - we do need to replace him and if we don't that is a massive problem. My point is that in theory, I think we could replace him with better, unlike Taylor, but that is dependent on Bowyer getting a tiny bit of backing from the owner which is the big if. I am not jumping up and down because he is going, but will be if he is not properly replaced.
@MuttleyCAFC the overwhelming likelihood is that the replacement (if any) will be a loanee and probably a cheap fix as that's all RD will allow. This isn't the first or even the fifth or sixth time Roland has pulled this exact same stunt. THAT'S why people are angry, not because it's Grant specifically but because yet again it's "same shit, different season."
I still think this is a really weird signing for Huddersfield. Grant is the only winner here.
Even if/when Huddersfield are relegated, it's a massive leap to assume Karlan will be good enough to be a top 6 Championship striker, which is where Huddersfield would expect to be
I was told one out and a loan replacement in, sounds like Cawley has been fed some duff info
Cawley saying that a perm is in doubt now too. Whoever it is on loan will need to be smart enough and quick enough to feed off Taylor. Grant puts himself in the right places to score and to miss. It’s what good strikers do. 1:2 ratio is decent at any level. If he goes we are definitely gonna miss him. Let’s hope Bowyer can work some magic on him and miraculously convince him to stay. Better the devil ya know

I’d be interested in signing him but only to sit on the bench.
Football wise no
