This doesn’t seem like the kind of tweet an out of contract player would post... feels like he expected to be back at MK next season.
Think it's fairly clear now that he's not out of contract and we're paying a fee. Bizarre one, just hope we're not going to sign 2/3 decent players and then have absolutely no money to fill a squad and rely on the likes of Vennings to fill in.
Just reading this again now there are a few more reports, MK Franchise fans seem to think they will get around 750k-1M for him
Cant see us paying that for 1 player lol
Won't be anywhere near 1m. We haven't spent that kind've money since we bought Sarr. We only spent 900k on Nicky Ajose who was the leagues 2nd top scorer at the time.
Alex Gilbey is actually a very shrewd signing if it comes off. He reminds me a bit of Cairney at Fulham. Big and strong but also has great technique and decent vision.
Also looks like he isn't afraid to "mix-it" and isn't going to bottle-it in a 50/50 situation. Loves to dribble and also likes shooting too which is unheard of for Charlton players!
I see the comparisons to Stephens too. Very interesting if it happens
The other player who is similar that I would LOVE to see is Ben Whiteman of Donny Rovers. They would work well together

Agree re whiteman also, I'd like to see Rotherham defender ihewke if lockyer goes too
If we get these players or we don't and with others extending contracts its nice to be talking positives rather than the negatives which has dominated these last few months
If we were paying around 5k a week for Cullen and £5k for Field, that frees up £260k which can be spent on Gilbey’s fee and then obviously £5k on his wage.
I still don't fully understand how we are allowed spend money if the takeover hasn't been approved. Unless it's money from within the club and not from ESI which seems unlikely
I would have thought any purchase of players would only be allowed if source of funding was approved by the EFL?
Wow it must be bad if no one's mentioned the height police....
From my interpretation we're allowed to replace players by the EFL. As players without contract can sign at any time, they don't come under an embargo as long as a club does not increase it's overall wage bill. Signing a player for a fee would be part of the transfer embargo: No I don't know absolutely EFL rules but can't remember clubs under transfer embargo doing this.
Well if we sign him it would seem something has happened we don't know about. Mind you we were going to sign Maddison whilst under an embargo making that impossible. Maybe we need to see it happen and assess from there. Looks a good signing though if we did do it.

Not necessarily, they might let us sign players using the wages we’ve signed. Not convinced there going to let us pay a fee for a player mind.

Have you seen Sunderlands 2 signings so far
Aidan O'Brien
Bailey Wright
They are building a good squad
EFL will not approve it if that's the case surely.
What on earth is going on.
Awwwww poor Franchise Fans

He knows he's royally shafted us ..... and now sees the opportunity to lend ESI the money needed to sign these players. At 50% interest pa.

What would we be called ...... Charlton Athletic Addicks?
Or CA Addicks, for short.
PS: As long as it's not Croydon Addicks. No, it's not funny.
