The Oztumer saga is a perfect example of how frustrating January can be and wont be the fault of anyone at Charlton if we dont manage to do a deal
Dont forget Erhun was practically ready to sign this time last year yet the deal fell through because Bolton didnt get their own replacement in
Id be shocked if events like that arent the reason for the slow activity
I get that but other clubs are getting things done and you’d think we’re more desperate than most due to injuries and league position, plus the fact we’ve been told we’d get a few in, all this should have been done earlier.
I’ll hold my hands up and say I was wrong and impatient if Southall pulls it out the bag and gets 3/4 top signings because that’s what we need.
The only signings being made are where clubs are turning loans into permanent transfers
Leeds have got them done. They've made 3 signings (keeper, winger, striker).
Admittedly a lot easier for a side top of the table to make signings than one that is 4th from bottom though.
Huddersfield have brought in 4 players too (2 on loan, 2 perms), and all by the 17th January. All 4 featured last night as they got a crucial 3 points to go above us
Yes they have parachute money (but then aren't we "f88king rich now?") but it shows that struggling clubs can also bring in players early.
Little more than a blog. Wouldn't read much into anything published by those lads. I know several people who have written for them. They don't have any insight other than what you would see on twitter/forums.
I understand that as long as the commercial revenue remains low (which it will be), Charlton can't just go splash the cash. Otherwise, breach FFP rules for spending beyond your (perceived) means and risk points deductions.
I'd prefer stability and long-term sustainability, thanks. Isn't that what we're being promised?
It's that or find some way around it in the long run. The Emirates Valley, anyone?
If anyone comes in, it's because they're deemed enough of a decent fit for the wages and fee. It won't be anyone glamorous, but the management have previous. For the most part, they've got signings right.

I know its not a proper publication, but they've taken quotes from the manager. “So harsh on Adam but he is in my thoughts and we have created some space for him to allow Dennis Srbeny to go. At 18, he is the third striker at Premier League level. Not a bad position to be in. I am happy with him. He is a great lad.”
Would they allow their 3rd choice striker to go out on loan?

We need to be careful with how much we splash the cash going forward thats for sure
But Cawley has already confirmed this month that our issues arent because of FFP at the current time

FFP is calculated over a three year period. You can go mad in year 1, try again in year 2, and sell in year 3, and still stay easily within FFP regs, which allow us to lose c£39m over that period. Buying a few players now for (say) £10m, is not going to hurt our FFP calc. Spending £50m might well do (but we have no chance of doing that...). Oh to sign anyone would be a start!
Someone on Twitter claiming a Shamrock Rovers player rejected us due to the wages offered. If true presumably Jack Byrne who was mentioned on here yesterday.
Did anyone else prefer it when Gallen and Bowyer were dealing with transfers?
That can only be answered in 60 hours time, but the relationship and dynamic between Steve and Lee feels different now Matt Southall is a hands on Chairman.
I was puzzled when Bowyer said that Southall would be dealing with transfers
Bowyer talking to Jim white on talkSPORT in a bit he might give a glimmer of hope , I got it on at work so will post if anything interesting is on so as to save you from having to listen to Jim !

I expected our cancelled loanees to be filled asap and then some nice desirables. I've got bored checking now. Will just turn up to the Barnsley game and get excited :-)
I can hear it now...."We've spent £5 million this Transfer window by not letting Lyle go."

Has Bowyer been on yet?
Not yet. White just said Bowyer coming up soon and theres news for Charlton fans?!

Waiting for ESI to unlock the money to sign some players?

Hmm sounds like a moan might be coming on from Bowyer.

It's the hope that kills you.

"Down to 2 clubs now for him. Not Birmingham I’m afraid." according to Boro chairman.
Still in it, hopefully.
Birmingham - possible points reduction
Posh - play off position.
Might be now that Maddison fancies staying where he is until the end of the season & then see which division the teams are in.
I dont believe that Peterborough wont play him if he doesnt leave. Too much of a gamble.
