There are two more signings hopefully in the pipe line a center back tucker and an attacker now you are all going to laugh at this but I think it is piggott.
If we signed those 2 I would need to change the sheets and not from bed wetting!!
Please explain?
oh, come on!
I know the answer. I just wanted to see how the poster explained it 😂
I thought my explanation was concise and "covered" all the necessary points... if you read between the lines.
Yeah dont mean to discredit those who are provide the rumour, but I dont think I'll be able to believe that Tucker and Pigott could be signing for us until it actually happens, even then I'll be utterly amazed
“That wasn’t the fault of anyone who is at the club now though, that was just how things were with the ownership and all the rest – it was a total mess."
We’re finding it hard to sign the best players in League Two, let alone the best players (Pigott is arguably the best striker) in League One.
Are we? Signing Stockley and CM doesn’t suggest that.
Agree those are two very good signings, but neither of those players had interest from teams higher than us.
I’ve worded my opinion a little wrong in the OP, I mean we’re struggling to sign the best League Two players who have Championship interest (Mendes Gomes, Joel Randall, Randell Williams). That suggests we’re not going to be signing the best League One players who have Championship interest.
Certainly would have Piggot on a free. Signing players based on a hunger to prove themselves is Piggot all over as he will 100% have unfinished business.
Would pigott and Stockley work as a pair?,or are we saying one or the other to start?, not sure either would be happy with that scenario.
Agreed, it looks to me like we are planning to play 4-3-3 this season and so Stockley is the main man. JP won't be signing and sitting on the bench.
I don't think they'd work great in a 4-4-2 either, neither of them are the type to make runs in behind and both lack pace as well. For those two reasons I can't see Pigott signing, on top of that there's Championship interest.
Piggott fancies himself in the champ, can’t see him coming to us unless he’s received no offers from champ clubs which I’d be surprised about. Read earlier Luton were talking to him.
Don't really get all this secret stuff from Pigott.. but if he gets any Championship interest at all, we just know where he will end up, Brum with Mr Bowyer, you can just see it happening..
WE are signing good hungry YOUNG players and it is if you know football putting together value what better player to put out with stockly than piggott He is quick and can feed on the headers also I know I keep banging on about tucker BUT he was the best center half in the division last season and is yet to come into his prime.Upto now with Thomas appointing who he has from a football point of view he has not done a lot wrong right from the beginning he has said he is open to further investment in my opion he is making charlton an attractive opportunity young good players will rise in value.

Love the positivity.
It’s not being negative, I just can’t see that particular signing happening. He’s not going to magically appear at The Valley through the power of good vibes.
I’m sure we’ll sign a different player who can score enough goals to get us back into the Championship.

How sure are you on tucker and pig as is stands mate ?!

That’s not a surprise though, that’s how it works. As we move through the summer some players won’t get their big move and will take a smaller step up.
I’d be more concerned if good players start signing for L1 rivals over us. So far that’s not really happened.

Yeah, I agree - some of those top players won’t get the dream move and will have to settle for League One.
My point being Joe Pigott won’t be one of them, he’s almost a dead cert for Luton and Nathan Jones - worse comes to worst it will be someone else in the Championship who can offer him wages we can’t.
Agree to an extent regarding good players signing for rivals - Scott Twine is very good player we’ve missed out on. It also looks like we’re going to miss out on Fraser.
Either way, we’ll get bodies in and I’m very confident we’ll have a good season.
Ogilvie still without a club as well, he announced he was leaving Gillingham in May. Searching on Google and Twitter there is basically nothing about anyone being in for him so hopefully he's one we're looking at. Only 25, thought he was a lot older.

With NA playing 1 main striker I don’t see how Pigott fits in anyway, he won’t sign here to be competition for Stockley.
Nothing to suggest Twine was a target, I think Cawley even said he wasn’t.
I’d like Fraser but the only rumour seems to be from the naked teenager on Twitter. He got Cousins right in fairness but my take is he’s probably talking to multiple clubs, so while it may he true he’s spoken to Wigan it’s not a guarantee that they’ll get him.
Reference tucker and pig I am sure about them as best as you can be BUT at the end of the day till the club announce them we are all quessing.I am lucky in as much from my time at the club I have got a good group around me who like myself have charlton in there blood one of them was in the club yesterday I have known him from when he was a P E teacher at school in Downham.

Probably best not to tell us who your sources are...
I can see us signing Tucker but Piggott ??? The ball would be in the air for most of the time if that was the case. We already have Stockley as the aerial threat, what we need is a pacey striker to feed off him / play off the shoulder.

Ones we were actually after, not some made up wish list?

But that would be next level signings.
adkins will play 1 up top. that will be stockley if fit. backup Davidson, also we have ronnie and Washington. Washington maybe used wide..
I could only see piggott as backup or a challenge to stockley.
Piggott is not signing for Charlton.
Fact
