To me Taylor represents winning. I don't know the stats, but would love to know the average number of points we win with him in the side, versus without him.
Weve not lost a game when hes played the full 90 minutes this season

there IS a stat on this deep in the vaults on here .. just don't ask me where
Lee Bowyer has talked again about the importance of Charlton holding on to all of their current squad – as he still hopes for arrivals before tomorrow’s transfer deadline.
The Addicks have made an offer for Bristol Rovers striker Jonson Clarke-Harris but there are fears that could be as a replacement for Lyle Taylor.
Taylor has been the subject of interest from Bristol City in this transfer window and Brentford – who pushed hard for a summer deal – also still thought to be in the frame for the 29-year-old.
Bowyer, when asked about a move for Clarke-Harris, said: “It’s unfair to talk about other players but I can tell you now that we haven’t made a million-pound bid for anyone.
“We’re in talks with people and we’re relying on help. That’s the be-all and end-all, we’re relying on people doing us favours.
“We are trying, we’re trying to get things over the line.
“We need to bring bodies through the door. We are two players down from when the window opened – we need to bring at least two to bring us even.
“We need to strengthen and bring bodies through the door because all the teams around us are strengthening and we’re not.
“It’s not even just me, the players want help. The players want bodies through the door as well.
“We need to add to the squad, not deplete it. We need to keep people like Lyle – he is massive for us.”
We allowed to air negativity yet, that article is shite news and I’m not buying into the “bluffing” argument.
If this mob had any dosh, even a reasonable amount to spunk, we’d have JCH and Taylor up top come Saturday, a decent replacement for Gallagher, and the centre half cover with no one leaving, with the rock bottom wage bill we already have, that is certainly not an unreasonable expectation. Bored already, post Barnsley meltdown incoming.

Meltdown is allowed after 12pm today.
Why after 12 today? Surely it's after 12 tomorrow?
Apologies if others have already posted this, but I find it quite alarming:
“We need to bring bodies through the door. We are two players down from when the window opened – we need to bring at least two to bring us even.“We need to strengthen and bring bodies through the door because all the teams around us are strengthening and we’re not.

I don't buy the optimism anymore, maybe a few weeks ago but not now, too many things aren't adding up with this lot. Out of the frying pan and into the fire springs to mind.
Reading that article from Bows I can only conclude that ESI have no money . Why else would he say we are relying on favours?
Of course ESI have money. They just paid £50 mill for our football club!
My take on it is that Agents know this and are asking silly money for their players hence we’ve now turned our attention to the loan market. That plus the fact that our current position in the Championship is putting players off joining us.
I don't think anybody thinks that's true now do they?
Just under 40 hours remaining before we find out whether or not ESI are prepared to commit footballing suicide by selling our best chance to avoid relegation. My season ticket for 2020-2021 is dependent on that decision.
Agree, ESI have a fantastic opportunity to get 20k crowds for the rest of this season, to unite the fan base and propel the club towards being an established Championship club. A small step forward is acceptable, A giant leap backwards isn't.
Shame there appears a lot of dependency on whether people go with what signings we make, but hey ho
No, blindly following a team is for when you're a child. When people have families and potentially spend £1000s a season attending games, you want to make sure this isn't a repeat of the last 5 years.
That isn't football mate. You follow your team through thick and thin.
Imagine the meltdown Saturday if we lose Tayler, no incomings & lose to Barnsley!
Can’t understand why ESI rushed through this deal to rush through in time for the transfer window! Going to get pelters!!!!!
This is the baffling part. If we do end up losing Taylor and don't bring in any replacements for Kayal, Gallagher, etc. then they would've been better off waiting until after the transfer window so that Roland could've taken the flack.

James, should it read: ESI will pay 50 million in six months time when they find investors from the UAE. (Or any gulf states)
Come back @MuttleyCAFC your fears and mine from early this month are coming to fruition.
Leave it out fella. We all want the best for our club. Sniping at fellow fans on forums is not constructive.
My comment in response to your little pop has obviously riled you for some reason but just let it go mate as no offence at you was meant when it was posted off the cuff.
I have been on here nearly 5 years and take the usual banter, that's why I was surprised with you using my quote and digging me out. I just want your opinion now on Lee's comments. If you don't have a comment fair enough, and we move on.
To me Taylor represents winning. I don't know the stats, but would love to know the average number of points we win with him in the side, versus without him.
Probably the same, or worse, than Cullen.
I was talking about Taylor because there's a chance we'll lose him.

I think Bowyer should stop being a fucking pussy, man up, and not wet the bed.
Someone needs to tell him that all deadline day deals don't happen until the last 20 minutes and once one club does someone a favour a domino effect will kick in.
So Cawley is adamant that Clarke-Harris would be a Taylor replacement. You can kinda see the logic, sell Taylor for a couple of Million and invest it in a 25 year old who scored 20 in his last 29 league appearances on a 3 year deal. Or lose Taylor in the summer and lose that £2m.
Cawley is a journo reporting what he hears, he’s adamant what he’s heard, not adamant he knows what’s going to happen. Jesus get a grip.
Didn't say he was right, just said you could see some logic in there, I like every other Charlton fan would prefer both.

Are we sure Roland has gone?

ESI using Rolands Poundland card and his strategy
Only thing that's changed is they brought in a new PR guy
