I doubt we've made our transfers and are just choosing the time to declare them in public. The selling club would have no reason to keep it quiet.
This is the normal pattern with last day transfers, we are working our way down the list. I believe that John Bostock was 3rd choice so the poor fella that comes into midfield ( if anyone) will get stick from Golfie because he ain't no Gallagher. The reality is we had a special talent in Conor and if our players hadn't dropped like flies would still be here.
34 games last season in the Dutch top flight. Can’t be too bad.
Hopefully Bowyer can do the same with him as with Gallagher.
Oh please, the usual obsession with other clubs youth player being better nonsense, he could not even get in QPR’s side! Another waste when Charlton should be doing something with their kids not Man City’s
Do come off it. No-one can sensibly argue that Charlton fail to give youngsters their shot in the first team.
That’s not what I’m saying - I’m referencing the general obsession on getting new signings and the only ones Charlton seem to look at are other people’s future profit. He’s already not done much at QPR yet now it’s ok to ignore the youth who have been thrown in the deep end these past weeks. With senior players retuning surely it’s now you keep the Charlton youngsters involved?
Whats to say they wont be involved?
Players are still returning, Bowyer has said that he wont throw unfit players in because we can only make three subs each game
Morgan and Doughty will yet contribute a lot more this season

He’s a product of the best youth academy in the country, played 34 games last season in the Dutch top flight and has 7 full international caps for Wales. Something tells me Bowyer may feel he’d be more ready for senior football than Dempsey.

Youngsters from City are going to be a cut above our youngsters whether you accept that or not! Albie and the likes need to develop elsewhere and come back! Bowyer is obviously doing this for a reason!
Everyone knocking him definitely knocked Gallagher signing too! Idiots!
I don’t think people are knocking him per se. Anyone who can be arsed to spend their Friday evening looking at a Charlton forum probably have Charlton’s best interests at heart, I think some people were expecting a little bit more from this transfer window after the takeover and that looks unfulfilled.
Last loan slots taken so that rules out the Vydra superdupa dream. Last one has to be the Bristol rovers striker at a guess. If so not a bad window but at the same time not a window to make a massive fuss of, as Southall suggested this morning.
Unless Vdyra is a permanent but I accept this is very unlikely.

No it don’t your allowed 8. Only 5 in 18 man squad 👍

Failed to make an impact at QPR. Can’t help but think the bottom of the barrel is being scraped.
Why? Bowyer and Gallen would give the go ahead for a signing if they didn't think the player could make an impact with us. Yann failed at Leicester, Morrison failed at Wednesday, BWP failed at Southampton, Hamer failed at Reading, Taylor failed at Sheff Utd, Scunthorpe, Bournemouth you name it, Purrington failed at Rotherham. Most players fail somewhere when a move doesn't work out for them, it doesn't mean they can't succeed elsewhere. Especially if they're going to be coached by a former England international midfielder who has a storied history of developing young players into quality footballers. Cheer up, you've never even seen him play. It'll be ok.
Smith: "It’s a wonderful football club with a lot of history. I just can’t wait to get going. I’ve come here to try and get an opportunity to play and prove to everyone that I can do it at this level."

Literally never heard of him, which is surprising because he has a comically common name, but hope he’s a Gallagher v2.
4 hours to go to get a marquee one
Players are still returning, Bowyer has said that he wont throw unfit players in because we can only make three subs each game
Morgan and Doughty will yet contribute a lot more this season
Clearly Smith was signed earlier in the day, daylight and in full training gear.
McGeady
Cullen
Pratley
Oztumer
Smith
Morgan

I'm happy with that midfield pool til the end of the season.
Doughty as wide options too.

Something seriously off if we don't get at least one decent permanent through the door.
'journey man, he has never been at a club for a long time'
'he's old, and past it'
'he's young and does not have the experience'
'he didn't do well at his last club he must be rubbish'
What you hear everytime we sign a player. How many times have those people been proven wrong, yet continue to make assumptions?
