Tony Watt. Quality baller, awful athlete and a terrible team mate.
3 in 7 and still Sofia sent him back. Got to be pissing the other players off.
I always will remember him and JBG nearly coming to blows at a home game. Now Johann always seemed pretty mild-mannered so what the feck was Watt up to.
I remember Watt and Johann having a cuddle on the ground but I thought they fell out at Sparrows lane ? Towards the end of Tony Watt's stay at Cafc he had a blazing row with Karlan Grant at a home match.
Tony Watt and Cafc are history. TW is the complete opposite to the players that Lee likes to work with. He wants players to listen to him and the coaches.
Even Taylor was told his work rate wasn't good enough after his first 3 matches by Lee Bowyer. That has never been questioned since by the Gaffer

3 in 17, not 7. And 2 in a cup match against some lower league farmers.
he's played for st.etienne for the best part of his career, a well established french club (who would be the equivalent of most championship and some prem clubs i would have thought) and played in European competition so i'm not sure why people think his cv is unimpressive - its whether he has the know how and grit for the championship battle he;s gonna be in that concerns me more but 100% faith in bowyer and gallen.
I feel bad for a player who's best part of his career is 66 matches across six seasons. Mind you he spent a season on loan at Club Sportif Sedan Ardennes, "who?" I hear you all say. Best described as the French equivalent of Coggeshall Town.
Don't be daft. Would you compare Lille and Lens to Dover and Eastleigh? Sedan are a decent sized club. Not much different to us at the moment.

What is it with some posters who always want to go backwards. Want to sign Watt, Cousins & Marshall. Why not get Magennis & Josh Parker back as well and really go for it....

With Cawley posting that article, if we lose Taylor this close to the close and don't find an adequate replacement it's a disgrace
Doesnt surprise me though - Clubs will know that Taylor is out of contract in the summer so are going to test our resolve to keep hold of him as they'll know its our last opportunity to get a transfer fee for him
Will we accept a bid without something else lined up - No I dont think we would under ESI... Agreed though it would be worrying if he went without anyone lined up and would be my first concern of the new ownership
Friday is gonna be a tough day for a lot of people on here / twitter
Nothing new in Cawleys interview. Literally "someone will probably make an offer for Lyle before the end of the window" well duh. and "ESI have said they will listen to offers" well yeah they said that weeks ago. They have also said he is our player till the end of the season unless a silly offer comes in.

I'm not sure how reliable Wikipedia is in terms of games played I seem to remember in the past some of the signings from abroad didn't seem to have played many games ever but in reality had played a lot more than shown on Wikipedia. I know there's some examples out there I just can't think of any off the top of my head while at work.
The wiki stats at the side only count league apps for some reason. Pogba had 99 apps in total at St. Étienne.

I think if Taylor goes it may be because the offer amount bridges the gap between him and us buying Toney.
I think we are all expecting there to be interest and offers in for Taylor, we’d be foolish to think otherwise.
At this late stage, and with Bowyer saying he will speak to Taylor this week, I would be genuinely surprised and saddened if he were to leave. Finding an adequate replacement at this late stage would be almost impossible.
The cost of relegation would be at least £5m. If we got any offer less than that, we would be stupid to sell. Anymore and it might be worth it. But still probably not. The lowest I'd take would be £7m. Is he worth that to anyone else? Probably not.
This isn't to say we would 100% get relegated if we sold him - it's just a higher possibility if Lyle goes.

Personally cant see it happening - with HE turning up on saturday the last thing they will want is something to rock the boat.
If ESI accept an offer for Taylor they must have a really good replacement lined up. I was thinking more all good news this week and a couple in through the door to unveil in front of a full house at the Barnsley game.
Running on pure faith at the minute, few rumours about but nothing too exciting let’s be honest, the best player linked with coming or going is Lyle Taylor.
I’ve seen many saying “judge ESI come 1st feb”, if it’s looking grim them I assume the same will be saying “judge ESI come May 3rd”. Massive week in our history coming up, relegation would be catastrophic, simple as that.

After having Roland for 6 years, I’ve put all my faith in owner eggs in the esi basket. If January is disappointing, I’ll say judge in may. If we are disappointed in may, I’ll say judge in August. I’m going to be right eventually.....I hope

No way would Bowyer & Jacko risk the 'togetherness' of the squad and the work ethic of the team.

I think Davison will improve though not ready yet, Watt will never be ready.
I’ll admit even I’m starting to get a bit nervous now. Need at least 3 by Friday and not a rumour in sight.

Currently plenty of rumours for a Charlton Athletic January transfer window.
Parrett
Idah
Pogba
Maddison
Smallwood
The two from Bristol Rovers

They will happen, and very quickly, as is normal for the January window.
If we get to Thursday and still nothing, then I’ll start to worry.
Surely you can only really judge them at the end of a transfer window
Everything else is down to Lee Bowyer and the players he fields
