do you think that polo shirt and scarfy got washed between Gilbey & Washington's photo calls? funds for transfers and wages apparently but not so much any other budget
Another one I don’t know much about, if truth be told, but he has decent experience. Hopefully he can stay clear of injuries and strike up a good partnership with Bonne. 15+ goals each could well put us on the right path towards a decent season. Need to get the defence pulled together now.
Always good to check which league he’s spent most of his career in. Five seasons in the Championship vs. three seasons in League One tells you his level is probably anything from mid table Championship to L1 title challengers.
He’ll definitely be good for 15+ goals a season if he can stay fit.

Not sure he’ll definitely be good for that. He never scored that at Peterborough, a team who notoriously score a lot of goals too. I think he’ll score 10 which is ok if 2 others score 10-15 too
international striker for one of the smaller home nations, never scored a hatful of goals, works hard, played for some decent clubs, feels like he’s been around for ages, hasn’t been a regular starter of late.
The problem with the salary cap is it leaves no incentive for players to stay at their current club. I understand the purpose with it but unless it's replicated up the league it won't work.
If you are a League 1 player on 2k a week and a Championship club offers you 6k to go sit on their bench you're going to go. I appreciate that was the case anyway but all I think it's going to do is widen the gap between the top 2 leagues and the bottom 2. It gives the smaller clubs a better chance of getting to the Championship. but staying there will be more difficult.

Also going to be harder to convince kids to go on loan @ League One / League Two clubs if clubs dont contribute to wages
Already Premier League teams are demanding "loan fees"

Part of me thinks the club should just ignore the salary cap, I doubt we would have voted for it and the rest of the league's big clubs like Sunderland, Portsmouth, Ipswich, Peterborough certainly didn't vote for it yet clubs like Rochdale and Accrington Stanley have been allowed to dictate terms to the rest of the league, the same happened when they all voted to end the season early.
Salary caps should be a percentage of income not a fixed rate just so the likes of Accrington and Rochdale can compete with and actually offer better value wages than us (based on the cost of living in London) or should be optional for those teams who want the cap.

makes me think of Simon Church
On that basis, it makes me think of Josh Magennis. (Comes out in cold sweat even though it's still nearly 32 degrees).

You must have been suffering with frost bite then mate watching Hemed ❄️😉
Maybe our next signing should be somebody who can get our players to manage 90 minutes like those of other teams. The quality is already there for the league we are in.
Sounds like Gallen is trying to get fullbacks and wingers... 'if he is allowed'
All we need is someone to pass the EFL tests and put a little bit into the club and we could be competitive. Fingers and toes crossed. Tomorrow would be good!
No idea what Conor is like as a player. Just pleased to get players in at the moment. Hopefully will be surprised and wonder how we got to sign him. Welcome to Charlton Conor.
Chris Günter is a free agent after leaving Reading. 31 now, but a very good attacking right back that has played all his career in either the Premiership or the Championship. Vast experience.

Conor: 'Ere Olly, that weird bloke in the blue shirt, is he still watching us? - Jeez whats his problem

Oh Lord. The first International call-up and he will go off, get injured and be out for 3 months no doubt :-)

We looking to bully sides with Aneke and Washington?
