I don’t recall an Alan Millar playing for us. When was it and what position?2 -
Exactly ................. it's the Charlton way. Absolutely fucking ridiculous, clubs will now say well they are DESPERATE to sign so & so + they have a new owner who's worth a bit lets lump another few hundred thousand on the price. I'm just surprised that I'm so surprised & pissed off.cafcfan1990 said:I’d be concerned if we’ve sold Bonne without virtually acquiring a striker, would be stupid to sell and then start looking1 -
A BIT light ? Could be worse I suppose we could have sold Washington as welleastterrace6168 said:
Taking this into account, and the latest news on Schwartz, might have beenMaxicoCity said:We have tomorrow's game, then by the next time we play both the international and domestic transfer windows will be closed and we'll have our final squad. It's frustrating but in the long run it's much better to wait (if they think there will be better options coming up) than rush people in for this one match.
a better bet to keep Bonne until we actually had a replacement.
Now we find ourselves a bit light with Davison, or a possible Chuks (if fit)
for Saturday

for SaturdayI wouldn't worry until it's the 16th and we haven't replaced Bonne. We can get by one game with one up top as the deal was worth the finances. Washtington up top alone then Chuks or Davidson for the last 20 is fine.If we can spend that 2Mil on good L1 players it not only strengthens us but weakens the opposition.2 -
Stability is what it’s all about, it’s going to take a little time to get there but we trust in Bowyer and Gallen they will get this right for the medium to long term. This season is a free hit expectations shouldn’t be promotion a d whoever comes in there are no silver bullets.

His hat trick in the playoff final against Sunderland demonstrated how good his first touch wasaddick1956 said:
Super Clive's first touch was sublime. He scored for Grimsby against us at the Valley in a game they won 3-1 in 95 or 96 where he dropped back into our half in the centre circle for a Charlton corner. They cleared in a well rehearsed move that saw Clive's first touch wrong foot our defence and he out paced them with a couple more touches and beat our keeper from 6 yds inside the box at an angle.CAFCDAZ said:
I agree, however super Clive and Andy hunt were not known for pace. I think here it was more a case of him pushing for it and us holding out for as much as possiblesuperclive said:I'm not sure we have got such a good deal there. strikers under 25 with 1 in 3 records in the championship go for around 10m. I really liked bonne, and he will do well I think.. the 1 thing perhaps against him is a bit of a lack of pace..
His first touch enabled mid field to score alot hiding it up I the box and laying it off
Hunt could lead a line and play up o his own11 - Sponsored links:

What an incredible player Mendonca was , never really got the credit from the sporting press that he richly deserved .16

I remember that game and goal, I also remember how happy I was that summer when we actually signed him. Great player an idol for me growing upaddick1956 said:

All three were good and the third is obviously iconic but the way he controlled the ball with his studs for the second always stands out as an instinctive piece of play that made him stand outflyingkiwiDK said:

Ive made enquiries about a threesome with Candice Swanapoel and Emily Ratajowski.Callumcafc said:
About as likely as De Sciglio going to Celtic... Who writes this crap 😂15 -
Their options are Sessegnon, De Sciglio or Alfie Doughty.CAFCsayer said:

Maybe we’re not asking for enough. Alright he’s worth 15m now.3 -
Not sure about official club votes but there must be plenty of players who are considered legends at 2 clubs.addick1956 said:
He did at Charlton and in Grimsby. Is he the only player to be voted a legend in two clubs?sinceiwasyoung said:What an incredible player Mendonca was , never really got the credit from the sporting press that he richly deserved .
Ronaldo, Cruyff, Pirlo, Shevchenko, Shearer, Gazza, Dalglish, Zidane, Ian Wright3 -

Could be a good ploy by Bowyer this weekend.
It's well documented we've got money, but the current crop might think they're safe due to the cap.
But Bows has signalled his intentions with the sale of Bonne. He's clearing the decks and making some space.
If I was in the squad now I might just think this weekend would be a good time to showcase my talents.9 -

Not that we have any chance but Cullen is apparently up for sale.1
-
correct but the point is that our offer is still on the table but he is going to see if he can get better - which you can't blame him for - by the end of the window when clubs 'put their best foot forward' so to speak - it suggests that he hasn't necessarily received a better offer so far or maybe not substantially better to make him want to move - with this cap in place i struggle to understand how we are even still in with a chance of signing good players like him but there again i don't fully understand the rules and i also think a lot of the wage figures banded about in the championship are higher than they actually areChris_from_Sidcup said:
Matthews is a free agent, he can sign for a club whenever, it doesn't have to be by the end of the window.DOUCHER said:Matthews will go if he gets offered better terms by another club by end of window. Doughty will go if we get offered the money we want by the end of the window -either way, we are going to have a crack at promotion and we have to trust Gallen and Bowyer to know the players that can do that for us. They've done it once, they can do it again.
Although i'd assume it's in his interest to sign for someone sooner rather than later, as clubs will simply sign other options instead of waiting for him.0 -
But we would only have counted the league average (pretty low) towards the cap for Bonne’s salary, whereas anyone incoming now will have their full salary counted. Selling Bonne for £2M is undoubtedly good business and it was the right thing, but it hurts us from a salary cap perspective.carly burn said:Could be a good ploy by Bowyer this weekend.

Selling Bonne for a couple of mill would be great business for us right now. That’s a great return on the £2k we spent.1

True. But what what I was also trying to get at is that a lot of bodies in the squad should be looking over their shoulders.se9addick said:

As I said,TS seems to be setting us on a fast track to get out of this league. Offers may come in for the likes of Lapslie, Otzumer and even maybe Pearce or Williams. The offers may not make financial sense but in terms of quality and whether or not better is available a lot of sense.
Strange times for a Charlton fan.

Indeed they are. We've been the proverbial 'basket case' for so long, we've forgotten what it felt like to support a well run and respected football club. And it may also take some time to recover our own self respect, but at least the early signs are encouraging on both fronts.1
-
I do expect us to still make top 6. Most likely 6th on the final day rather than anything higher. However, as long as we are building towards stability and not seeing 20 players leave and 15 join every summer I will be happy.carly burn said:
