WHAT IF all these shit players we've got, plus the 2 extra shit ones "in the bag", all gell and a decent keeper comes in on loan in the next couple of weeks?
Give em a chance ffs
Amen!
"Adults" on here need to have a good look at themselves. Squad is looking decent and a chance for a free transfer or 2 if need be.
Righting off CBT and co makes me wonder why people even bother supporting the team
Leko is a weird one. Kirk, DJ, CBT, Clayden. Do we need another winger?
Imo......No.
But you've been calling for a pacey striker? Leko scored 1 in 4 for us in the Champ and let's be honest, we wasn't a particularly good side who created loads of chances each game.
I think we have enough wingers-cum-strikers. Lee is about the best one of these & it might be hard enough to squeeze him into the side atm. So its a no from me.
There's a fucking surprise!
So even if we sign Leko we will still be "5 or 6 short"!
Hes correct in my opinion Another average winger is not a priority
Well, I think it's fair to say Sandgaard's initial footballing philosophy of he'd rather see 4-3 wins than 1-0 wins is certainly reflected in transfer policy. Let's see if it pays off.
If Purrington is out for much longer though I'm gonna be pretty concerned. Roddy is not good enough and Gunter is not a sustainable option out there.
No issue with the players who are in, JUST WHERE IS THE FUCKING LEFT BACK???? !!
The latest signings made a solid window a decent one. But we will pay for no left back unless a free agent signs before the league resumes/ Pompey / Purrington returns
I mean I think even Kirk believes he's left for was amputated! We can't open anything up properly and we will be exploited down that side until we get some balance.
Just catching up with this thread, did Delort sign in the end?
I thought we were in for Kezman?
You misread, it's Kelman. Ronnie says we should hopefully still squeeze him in tonight but that is reliant on Gillingham allowing him to go straight out on loan.

Surely we can wait for another 60 mins or so before calling this window either way and / or suggesting the need for a meltdown
Yeah, because after 3 months of the window being open signing someone with 60 mins to go is seen as a positive & part of a plan.
All clubs are doing it… it’s how it goes. It’s not ‘typical Charlton’ - it’s transfer deadline day. Like other clubs we’ve done most of our business already.
I don't think you've been paying attention. We've not "done most of our business already". We are still 5 or 6 players short of what is needed & dome players we've brought in (Clare & Dodson) are average League 1 players. And we've still not replaced last seasons top goal scorer.
But apart from that everything's peachy.
We needed 5/6 a few weeks ago. Since then we've signed Kirk, Blackett-Taylor, Lee, Arter and Lavelle. Plus one other?
Blackett-Taylor is a 4 month deal & Arter is injury prone & not played competitively since February.
But obviously that was the plan since june.....
You make my blood boil you absolute misery.
There are some who just love to moan, and will never be satisfied, but it takes all sorts to make a forum.
So let me get this right, we're playing 4-4-2 formation which has 2 CM's yet we're registering 8. With no fit senior LB in place and one GK that can be registered for free... I think the window has been largely successful but what is that about?!
We will mainly play 4231/4411/433 how ever you want to write it.
Our center mids for the 2 would be Dobson/Watson/Arter/Clare/Morgan which is about right.
Our options for the 10, or second striker, are Lee and Gilbey 4 wingers and Washington as a spare forward.
Sounds about right and pretty strong to me?
Center backs we are fine now, we know the keeper situation.
The elephant in the room is the left back and we were never going to be able to sign a back up for Stockley anywhere near the same level as him.

Concerning unsubstantiated rumours that 2 leaving.
Pen Farthing said to be in last ditch negotiations to get Floyd and Harvey out

Agreed with those unhappy that being a Left-Back short isnt the ideal situation to be left in
Lets just hope that when we look back at the season that it doesnt bite us on the arse
For now, all we can do is hope that this crop of players can do the job we want them to do
Famewo Lavelle Innis
Arter
DJ Leko
Stockley
where have I gone wrong? Lavelle as backup and another midfielder pushing Leko up alongside and Kirk to the left? Nice to have some depth!!

He’s the drummer from U2!!
