To me it looks like its Sorba OR Smyth for the wide/winger place. Was Cawley referring to Smyth just then or Sorba ? Can't see us signing both as we still NEED A STRIKER WHO CAN SCORE US THE GOALS WE NEED TO WIN GAMES.
In my opinion the latter won’t happen. Just have to hope that the likes of Bogle and Washington can score more goals in a season than they have ever done before.
If you look at there best goal scoring Washington got better than 1 in 3 for Peterborough and Bogle better than 1 in 2 for Grimsby. If you forget they both didn't score in the championship that's 2 in 3, or better between them.
HaHa so you're happy to forget the championship where bogle scored few goals 8 in 50 games, you're happy to big him up because he scored 19 goals in league 2 3/4 years ago & don't mention his league 1 record of 5 in 21 games. I've only mentioned league games but he has never scored in the cups. He's a turkey & must dread Christmas every year. Surely we could have got a decent youngster from a premiership club who could get a few goals for us
How many goals per game did BWP score in the championship before he played for Plymouth and us? In LEAGUE 1? He didn't start all 21 of those games, as you know full well as you seem to spend half your time creaming over Wikipedia trying to find ways of slagging off a player I suspect you have seen play less than a hand full of times. If that.
If we were playing in the championship I would say I was "underwhelmed" we aren't. So what keep banging on about records in the championship?
I thought Bonne's replacement was Bogle or am I getting it confused here?
I would much rather have Bogle and Smyth than a disinterested Bonne.
Macca's success relies on him putting in 100%, chasing down lost causes and putting pressure on the back line. He had no interest in doing that in his last two weeks with us.
Bogle was probably Taylor's replacement, big / strong and battler
What we still need really for Bowyer's setup is a Grant / Leko type striker
But Taylor scored goals
Bogels record in league 2 was better than Taylor's..............
I have got a novel idea. Shall we wait and see how the new players do for us?
Where’s the fun it that?
I’m really underwhelmed with Bogle, Inniss and Smyth...That said they are Charlton players now so will certainly be willing them to do well. We are also in league 1 and with a wage cap. Beggars can’t be choosers and all that.
Tbh the only signing I’ve actually really heard of is Madison (and Gunter maybe). The others have the benefit of the doubt, in the meantime. I’m prepared to be underwhelmed or (over)whelmed, but I’ll hang on for a few months to see which it is.
Transfer reopens in about 10 weeks. No reason why we can’t poach someone scoring goals in the lower part of the league. Got huge confidence we will go up this season. Just hope we get to see in a stadium and not in front of a TV screen.

Trouble is, a poacher in January is going to cost ££££££££££
Transfer fees are always inflated in the January window.

Btw it’s Madison, one ‘d’.
Not sure if you're taking the piss(would be weird), but it's Maddison.

Maybe you've been to a gig at Madison Square Gardens?

Not if a club are desperate for the money, like when we signed BWP. Could be some bargains in January, perhaps we'll be the buying club this time rather than the selling club we usually are.
Christ was it only a month ago we were wondering if our club was going to survive at all?
People have very short memories. I've no issue with who we bring in or where we finish this season (long as we stay up!). Build properly next summer, anything we achieve now is a bonus.
Next summer the cap will still be in place, we will still face the same problems
No we won’t, because we won’t have to do all our deals in the last 3 weeks of the transfer window next summer.
With Bowyer’s positivity behind them, top 6 is very achievable.
And if no other club pushes on by January, then autos is not impossible.
Why not? But really, if we don't and we get to play some good games and stay in this league I will be happy. As for the people moaning about how underwhelmed they are with 6 new signings, strengthening the midfield and having a team able to compete after the last year we have had words fucking fail me.

No, the Championship has a higher cap
Actually I don't think the Championship has a cap at all at the moment, not that we will have to worry too much about it.

Bogle hasn't even started with us yet, give him a chance
Apologies I thought this was a forum where everybody is entitled to an opinion.

Its also a forum where everybody can be challenged on their opinion.
How does the cap work for players that are currently under-21 going forward? Ie if they are 20 now, could a club sign them on a £10k a week deal and when they turn 21 it still only counts as the average because it was signed pre-21 or would it then count in full once they turn 21?
I think its quite obvious that alfie can play at a higher level based on his performances last term and his head has been turned. Dont think its anything against the club.
Also someone said on here he supports millwall so no reason to stay.

Surely nobody actually supports Millwall? I thought it was like rickets. You have it. It is associated with a type of "London-ness" that is out of date and hopefully left behind. But you wouldn't choose to have it.

Doughty hasnt indicated that (he might just be smarter and is keeping quiet) so there is no equal reason to not play him
