    The Grapevine post basically says 

    - We had different targets over the summer. Some signed, some didn't
    - Some are younger so longer-term thinking
    - Some are shorter-term as we need to cover injuries and push up the league

    That could have summed it up pretty much. But it's less easy to drop in references to "business operational need," "corporate strategy" and his "career of building businesses" if it's not dressed up in the big essay ; ) 
    Precisely - some lap up all that corporate guff, others see through it
    See through what exactly?
    4 words.

    The world’s gone mad.

    This thread is now on it’s last legs. :-(
    Can't believe you're sad about this...!

    Or is that technically 5 words, if ‘s is taken to be shorthand for has? 
    Interesting. Probably worth it’s own thread. 
    :-)
  • Or a PowerPoint presentation. 
  • Would like to see a better target man back up to Stockley but must be of comparable quality - not convinced the free agent striker market would give us that quality required. Suspect we will continue with Davison as back up, see where we stand after Xmas and put some icing on the cake if we feel we can challenge for automatic promotion.

    Its ok - if Stockey gets injured we can always play like Man City with no No9 , and a revolving front line , we now have quite a few options in the squad. 
  • Never had Stu down for a teller of porkies, but granted I can see the influence on Revie  ;)
  •  In his time Leary was the best deep lying CF in the Country. He is also amongst the Addicks highest scorers. Those who regularly saw Leary play were very privileged. 
    Was Leary the innovator of the deep lyer is open to question. Think Ivor Broadis of Man C might have been the first. Broadis like Leary had wonderful touch and vision

    A deep lieing CF as invented by Don Revie after he saw Stuart Leary play this way first ! 
    Edit function?.. B)
  • Found this thread on page 2! Can't be allowed to happen.
  • So anyone know who the u23 trialists were?
  • There are still unresolved issues to keep this thread alive  ;)

    Who will be in the squad we submit to the EFL, as we will have to leave out players? 
    Will Ronnie made the squad?
    Will we loan any players out to the NL?

    Most importantly, what is going to happen in the all-important January window? Presumably TS is going to make good on his statement that he is "going to really splash the cash.  We're looking at several million pound signings".  The next 5 months are crucial.
  • So no Forster-Caskey for the time being then

    needs a thread of it's own. So who is out? JFC and Schwartz the obvious one's.

    Just spotted Ronnie is on there.

    I could see one of Dobson or Clare going on loan in January if they’re not getting game time and JFCs recovery is on track.
    Why Dobson done more then enough to be a first team choice and Clare can play number of roles 
    No he hasn’t. Excluding the Papa John’s game, which doesn’t count. 
    If Dobson who was MOM v Wigan had not been taken off we would not have lost that game that was match changing moment .. and he was one of the better players v Sheff Wed 
    Why don’t you say “ in IMHO we would not have lost that game” it would make you look a lot less like a boring know all.

    Big Rons in there but surname is Nielsen.
  • Dempsey is the other one. Expect him to go out on loan.
  • Sign that our Transfer business is over until January... Unless of course we find a very good U21 that happens to be on a Free
  • Where’s Ronnie Schwartz? Club needs to make a statement imo. Him being left out for one reason or another is fine, but to not be in the squad, and he has 2 years left to run on his contract.

    Number 16?

    This probably needs a second edit.

    Tumbleweed is actually quite interesting. Doesn’t it uproot itself when it’s very dry, and then rolls around until ideally settling somewhere a bit more moist, at which point it takes root again?
