Let’s not forget a lot of players are still on holiday, and most are back this weekend. So maybe a few deals are done, but won’t be announced until they have done all the media stuff. Just a thought!

We have a fragile bunch of supporters, don't we? That or some form of personality disorder that means we get so uptight and depressive so quickly, and so over excited in short bursts. The life of a Charlton fan, especially on here, is bloody exhausting.
It's the 16th June, the players are not yet back for pre season testing, let alone training, we are in a heatwave, go get some sun, drink some water, take your tablets, and chill.
Oi don't blame me, I've got nothing to do with it.

our players holiday during the months of September to April ....
For what it’s worth, my AFC Wimbledon supporting mate sent me this about Guinness
Nesta Guinness-Walker. He’s never got beyond the ‘raw materials and promise’ stage in his time with us unfortunately. Strong, quick and not bad going forward but a bit unreliable. The type that could impress a scout in a one-off game but fans that watch him week in week out were disappointed at his defending and lack of improvement. Always played in a struggling team with us under poor managers so hard to judge what he might be capable of in a more quality environment but I wasn’t too sorry to see him go to be honest

Most of them are in your neck of the woods
Not the ones we are targeting . Last seen in a B and B in Skegness.
I'd never heard of Guiness-Walker and he's not been linked to us but because of Kind Hearts and Coronets and that he's named after Bob Marley I think we should sign him.
We have been a basket case of a club ever since we clapped Curbs out the front door. Even I didn't expect us to have not signed anyone by mid June. What really gets me is it sounds like JJ had players lined up at the Player of the Year do. If Garner does not turn out well, I will be furious.
I keep saying it, but he needs his coaching team in place first otherwise we’re going the same route as Dowie, Adkins etc
Get the coaching team in for this window & get some new players lined up for the January window
So what we're saying is we could be playing with something like this if we get Sarr & Williams (left JFC at LB as no other fit option as I understand it, same for Clare at RB):
Can't say that without better defensive options that I am confident in that side, but can see how the attacking side could work (If only we had Wash instead of Stockley up top)
@Dazzler21 - Apologies. I've been out most of the day and wasn't sure if your comment related to mine. If so, all I'm saying is that with only 3 to 4 additions we'd have the following to choose from for opening day, assuming all are fit.
That's 20 to select a starting eleven from. Hopefully a team could be made up from those without too many playing out of their preferred positions. I make no comment as to the 3 to 4 who I'd like to see come through the door, other than to say I'd like them to be fit enough to squeeze through it.
I'm not claiming its a promotion challenging squad as like that, but it should hold it's own. The biggest concern must be defence where we lack options, especially given our injuries track record. Some have suggested Ellewere might be ready, but it's a lot to load on him so early. One thing is for sure, you just know Tucker's luck will run out as soon as he arrives, if he comes that is!
If any of the above depart, replacements must be found quickly and I'd expect us to have the maximum squad numbers in place by the time the transfer window closes. Fed up of talking about this with no one in yet, but it seems some ITK are confident we'll have 2 -3 possible next week. I hope they're right.

It wasn’t always that way Sage. We have been fucked around so badly for years, so it’s hardly surprising how we treat everything with a fair dose of suspicion and caution. Speaking for myself, I plough on relentlessly for the most part with a glass half full, things will get better outlook. I long for the day when this forum (in particular), is again a contented and happy place and remain convinced that better times are just around the corner. What is the alternative……...I simply don’t want to think about it. UP THE ADDICKS!

None of your MF are WBs so we need 2 of those and less MFs
