If we were to play a back 3, I’d have him on the right of the 3. He has the ability to play right back, he’s not slow, and can bring the ball out of defence.
However, I think we found out all we need to know when Matthews came on against Swindon and we put Gunter as the right centre back instead of Oshilaja and keeping Gunter where he was.
Bowyer has since said he is happy to continue to play a central midfielder at centre back, and keep someone who plays in that position on the bench.
Does seem as though the writing is on the wall, and really, think it would be a shame. He’s not Championship standard, but is Deji leaving really going to allow us to bring in someone better for so little money?
Absolutely spot on for me. If we went up I'd definitely look to be signing better than Deji but I find it hard to believe he can't do a job for us at this moment in time.
If Bowyer feels he can't, then what the hell did we sign him for. We had a lack of money yes but we were in the league above. He trusted him to do a job at left-back not so long ago, can't see what's changed.
My view is we signed players like Deji because at that time were not given funds and had to look for the best of what was left. Similar to Chuks Aneke a player who has potential but with probable injury problems.
I am not sure that we would have had these players on our books now if we had been allowed funds to invest at a better level.
It will be interesting to see if we offer Chuks a new contract. No doubt he is unbelievable at times, but it's hard to build a team around a player who can only do 60-70 mins.

I'd want him to stay just because having that combination of physical power and technical skill is a handy ace card to play. Ideally though it should not be our one and only tactic to rescue a game as it is currently.
I asked Thomas around the rules about signing ronnie schwartz does it have to be done before the 1st which he answered yes it does i then asked him does he think he will sign to which he answered just watch the news so in my eyes that one is definitely done
How can we sign someone before the window opens on 1st ?

I haven't got a clue but I see Leeds sign someone last week so it can be done
I thought you could sign someone at any time, it is just that they cannot play for you until the next window.
ie if the ruling on Hemed last season had been against us, he would still have been our player but just would not have played for the first few months.

I suspect we might sign and register him on the 31st Dec (pre Brexit). Then he would be eligible and could play on the 2nd Jan.

Maybe he has been released from his contract and they have paid him up on the final six months. 😀

Going to be difficult as well... If we get promoted to the Championship then we can offer Chuks whatever he wants
If we dont go up then Chuks may well need to take a wage cut, as his current salary doesnt apply to the Salary Cap as he signed his contract before it came into effect
Jason Pearce is in the exact same boat
Of course Gallen could well have treated their current wage as part of the Salary Cap so that when their contracts do expire, we can at the very least offer them the same terms that they're on
I’ve been reminded that the transfer window opens on 2nd January
Yeah taken from the EFL website:
The purpose of this Regulation is to give The League an element of flexibility in its application, however in Season 2020/21 it shall be applied as follows: - the Winter Transfer Window in Season 2020/21 will open on 2 January 2021. - In the Championship division, Match round 23 is currently scheduled for 2 January 2021 and there is a strong likelihood that some fixtures will be moved to 3/4 January 2021 to accommodate TV selections. - In order to ensure that all Clubs are treated equitably for Match round 23, the League will withhold confirmation of registration where applications are lodged on the morning of Saturday 2 January 2021, until after completion of match round 23, so Clubs selected for TV will not gain an advantage over the majority of Clubs who would play at 3pm on the Saturday.

It Hreidersson all those years ago.

As Curbishley said in hus analysis Charlton would be attractive for someone to come in.
- the Winter Transfer Window in Season 2020/21 will open on 2 January 2021.
- In the Championship division, Match round 23 is currently scheduled for 2 January 2021 and there is a strong likelihood that some fixtures will be moved to 3/4 January 2021 to accommodate TV selections.
- In order to ensure that all Clubs are treated equitably for Match round 23, the League will withhold confirmation of registration where applications are lodged on the morning of Saturday 2 January 2021, until after completion of match round 23, so Clubs selected for TV will not gain an advantage over the majority of Clubs who would play at 3pm on the Saturday.
If you exceed the Salary Cap then you just get fined depending how much you've gone over it
