As long as we get most of our business done in time for pre season I'll be happy. Leave it too late and you end up with the Hemed situation where players are playing catch up and never really do.
The Charlton Life rumours thread seven stages of grief:
1. Decent player rumoured to be a target (eg. Stockley) creates universal enthusiasm and hope. 2. No confirmed signing causes anxiety and doubt. 3. Links with other interested clubs causes guilt and insecurity. 4. No further news creates panic 5. Player signing elsewhere leads to outrage and anger 6. Abusive insults and denigration of target as useless and not good enough anyway etc means denial 7 No more signings announced immediately triggers dejection, depression and despair.
Repeat until start of new season or until blind drunk or bonkers.
Alot of teams are getting there business done early and once again we seem to be behind everyone!! I just don't get the silence coming from the club surly contract negotiations with the out of contract players has happened and some must want to stay. I can see this being one long hard season. If thomas thinks he can do this on the cheap he's going to have one big shock coming to him !!!
How do you know that we haven't signed anybody.?
We seem to be keeping quiet as a club about what's going on.
If this is the case then I’m lost for words! A player on loan with us last season, says he wants to sign and then we lose out to a promotion rival, f*****g ridiculous.
Lose out ..... if we were ever interested ????
No one knows who our targets are yes Stockley was shown properties in Bexley when the season ended .. perhaps we went in another direction ????
Hang on you said it was a done deal, then it was agreed. Now you don't know?

This is beyond the pale, even if English isn't your first language.

BTW: The transfer window is not open yet, many existing contracts run until 30 June.
In short nothing to see here, or hear here either.
I'm not going to go overboard but will be very disappointed if Stockley doesn't sign. Seems like he really enjoyed it and I think Adkins is keen so will be concerned if we lose out. Like I said, won't go overboard and write the season off over it but a bit of a bummer if he goes elsewhere.

All aboard HMS Pissing League 1.
No need for that.
Disagree with what he said, as I do, but it was clear what he meant.
There was more transfer rumours when we were under a transfer embargo than there is now, hopefully that means we are just a much better run club nowadays

If you mean WIOTOS its not an acronym it's an alphabetism...to be an acronym it has to also be a word like LASER - Light Amplification (by the) Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Sorry - I used to work with someone who was very fond of pointing out this kind of shit...
You also replied to the wrong poster...didn't he @Henry Irving

There hardly been any worthwhile business done especially in league one .. on Friday there had only been. 8 transfers

Bumped into an incoming engineer at work this morning and he is a pompey fan, told me there are strong rumours there that they are after Stockley, he said he once played for them before moving on.
If you listen to the Adkins interview on Charlton Live after the Hull game I don’t think Stockley is someone Adkins is too high on. Wishes him well in his career.

Back to work after a week off and the first conversation is with a Pompey fan who tells me that they and Donnie are after Stockley ( sorry, haven't waded through all previous comments)

Or he’s keeping his cards close to his chest so we can’t be held to ransom by PNE/agents.
I thought it was odd that Stockley made the comments he did just before the season ended. Definitely not what a savvy agent would’ve advised him to do.
Completely made up numbers in my head but I say 80% chance he’s here by the first week of pre season. The 20% you can’t account for is whether another club comes in and pays way over the odds etc.
Being serious here for a second, the club is just acting like it did in the Curbs years, where very little leaked out until the deal was pretty much done.
What it can't do is prevent leaks from other sources. True or False. But I do agree this is the right approach from the club.

Then until you have, you don't have the right to comment ........ we've all had to plough through 125 pages of nonsense and knicker wetting, so don't think you're getting away with it!
I've had a look back when we made our signings in summer 2011. By this point we had signed one first team regular in Hollands, a squad player in Pritchard (but in reality came in with little or no expecations) and Sullivan as a back up goalkeeper.
Late June/early July is when it really got moving.
24 May Hollands and Pritchard
31 May Sullivan
21 Jun Hayes, Evina and Alonso 29 Jun Stephens and Green

deal has been agreed but not signed ... Stockley went away on holiday expected to sign later this week .. but looks like his agent and PNE may have done the dirty on us .. hopefully Stockley will say deal is a deal but I understand from a cousin who lives in Pompey he has family in or close to that area ......
Personally I not bothered either way with Stockley can see the benefits but can also see the way he makes us play .. I think we need a more mobile striker .... if he signs good but not a disaster if he don’t

2 days ago you said it was lucky we got in first. There is nothing in those articles that's fact, that wasn't in Cawley's article on Saturday.
Have you heard its now off from another source other than FootballLeagueWorld?

Two friends from Moscow who hasn't seen each other since the end communist rule, 15 years ago, meet in bar by chance and they go for a drink. They talking about the old times and one tells the other:
-"Did yo see? Everything they told us about communism was a lie!"
-Yeah! And that is not even the worse part! Everything they told us about capitalism was the truth!
It is going to be a wonderful season by the looks of it. Why go on holiday and promise to sign contract upon his return.
Sounds like bullshit or a cockup.
Besides which London is only 90 miles from Bexley if he seeks solitude in relatives. Strange that as it didn't bother him in Preston which is far away .

Because now you don't sound so certain.
