I don’t see Crewe selling Dale for £500k even if he has just the year left on contract. They’ll look to get more than that for him if they are even willing to sell or he wants to leave.
That's fine but if clubs are selling because they need the money, how much can potential buyers afford? All clubs suffered financially therefore the market is determined by available resource not lack of will as some would have it.
Braving another suggestion 😂 What about going back in for Tom Lockyer? Doesn’t seem to be getting a look in Luton’s team anymore and think he will be a decent addition and he knows the club very well.
I liked Lockyer a lot but defence definitely ain't a problem right now. Attackers!!!
It's not the biggest problem, but we do need another RCB, especially as Innis can't be relied on to play 40 league games a season. We play Oxford on Saturday and MKD on Tuesday, can Innis play both games?

Fantastic shit stirring but I don’t believe that for one second.
To start with he hasn’t even faced any criticism from journalists.

Who are the stupid journalists
Nixon. Not in the context of your question, but an answer that still fits the question.
The deals are on the table .. as the club confirmed
Which club ? Certainly not ours
think it was in the SLP or somewhere recently saying we had made bids so I'd imagine seeing as no-one has signed then those bids are still on the table.
Not if they've joined other clubs, or if the story was bollox

"Can't be named" make 'em sound like MI5 or FBI, rather than MFI...

It was posted by the Ronnie fella who lies on here. Ignore it.
What a shocker. Colin should't be allowed anywhere near football forums.

Be surprised if he can manage both games mate. Maybe what I should of said is I would like Lockyer but if its a choice between Lockyer and an attacking player I want the attacker. I would rather see Deji play if needs be than any of the youth attackers.
Grass was always greener on the other side springs to mind.
In retrospect players like Yoni Buyons, JBG, Vetokeke, Teixeira, Bulot & Watt were a damn sight better than Clare & Dobson.
Okay so in the interest of balance.

Thank you CL P.
So those who are going to make silly comparisons between Roland’s 6 years of transfers and TS’s 11 months, at least do it properly rather than half the story that you feel suits your narrative.
Roland was an absolute shambles.
I've not said anything about players released or sold under Duchatalet. I simply said about 5 weeks ago that under RD we signed some decent players & that in the early days he backed the manager. Someone then posted some players we signed one summer & how by mid-late July we had signed more than TS's regime has done so far.
It was a simple analysis between 2 new owners & their backing of the manager during the summer transfer window. No more, no less. But of course, people like to shoot me down before reading what I post.

Why wouldn’t you believe it mate? I think it’s been very obvious many of the rumours coming ‘out the club’ since he’s arrived stem from Sandgaard talking privately with fans. I could easily highlight a few individuals who have the line in to him.
I obviously don’t know for sure, but I definitely could see him replying to a fan via LinkedIn with the above.

I don't especially rate Lockyer, but I doubt he'd sign just to be cover for Innis in L1 anyway! He's expect to be first choice, and possibly captain too
In an ideal world what we'd want as the 4th CB would be an academy player like Deji, but aged 20/21 with some experience already

It just seems very unprofessional to be implying that there's tension between him and the manager who's only been in the job for a few months? Maybe I've misread it and he means Nigel is happy with the strategy, I'm not sure?
I can definitely see him replying to fans on there - we've seen a few screenshots that have been posted on here - but they've always been quite positive and good for PR.

Again (as previously noted) what journalists would TS be even referring to? Only Liddle has had a pop and that's because he's a wanker and would be doing it no matter what we did. The only "proper" journalists who pay any attention to Charlton are Cawley and Benjy Nurick and they're both on good terms as far as I know.

I’m only going on what was posted above, I’ve no idea what the fan said or asked to lead to the response of the first two lines (fan may have led with a disparaging comment on journos / press Conf). But my gut feeling is though that it is not bullshit.
Pretty much every thread on Charlton Life at the moment. Glad I took a break to catch up!
Funny you should post that, I thought yesterday that if I had any skill at doing it, I'd quite like to see Mr Sandgaard's face on Thomas The Tank Engine.

But it was clear from their tweets last night from both of those that in the press Conf Nigel was getting pressed for more details on recruitment (will it be before Saturday etc) and his responses were pretty cold.
If it's real then the person can post a screenshot. Until then, I'm gonna presume it's not real. For me, it doesn't sound like Thomas, or something even a semi-smart CEO would send to someone social media.

was just watching that last night and thinking, he should be despatched to ronniemoore
