Comments on Twitter already asking why aren’t we in for Pigott etc? Who says we aren’t? The club is doing their business quietly and that’s fine by me.
been said on here a number of times that Piggott himself has said that he wouldn't come back. IIRC it was more to do with how he was treated under Duchatalet, but even so, sometimes when you leave on bad terms you don't ever want to return, no matter who might now be in charge.
Wholly trust the process and the people who are running it, and whatever will be will be, but I would be a bit disappointed if Pigott went to another league one club. I would love him back here. I am aware that we will lose out to most championship clubs.
I think Sims would be a good signing too and is exactly the kind of player I think we're looking at.
Think you can write off the second half of Donny's season last year a little.

Good signing for Ipswich. However am I right that they have been promoted to The Championship already seeing as those ITK insisted that was where he was going.
A connection with Adkins from his time at Southampton (which might be how the rumour was created!)
Incorrect. Adkins was not at Southampton when Sims was with the Saints.
He was when Sims was in the youth, I assume he's at least familiar with Adkins as he seems to have a strong focus on bringing players through. Good player, young, would be pleased with him.
Adkins would definitely have taken a keen interest in the academy, even those in the junior age ranges
Looks like Sims was about 16 when Adkins left Southampton so he'll definitely know of him. Don't believe there's any relevance there at all though, just because Sims was a decent 16 year old at Southampton doesn't mean he'd be right for a League 1 club now.
He was on loan at Doncaster last season, 1 goal and 8 assists in 28 games. Didn't play in either of the games against us, can play on both wings.
Yes I know. My point was that I don't believe him being at Southampton with Adkins has any relevance at all as to whether he would be a good fit for Charlton right now.
Looks like we aren’t willing to spend our way out of this division . Not sure if that’s Gallen’s policy or TS’s or even if it’s the right policy but those comments of Premier league ( or was it Europe ?) in five years is looking a little bit silly .
Personally not fussed about Pigott going Ipswich. We have bigger fish to fry and whilst he will probably bag 20 goals next season, Stockley will do the same, having both wouldn’t have worked plus it looks like Ipswich have offered him big money.
Need to start getting bodies in now. Four weeks till the season starts and our squad is not as strong as some as those that will be in around the top at the end of the season . No point waiting till the 11th hour.

I agree. If he came here then Stockley would likely be back up to him. Sounds good to me.
I reckon we leave this one as its a non-starter

He had several offers and we were not in the frame.
Expected another 3 or 4 in by now, but in Nigel Adkins & Steve Gallen we trust.
