    Garner has said that he would rather wait for the right players than rush some on now. Sounds like we might have to wait until after the Spain trip. BTW, I know nothing
    I wouldn’t have thought we are in an embargo whilst in Spain?

    Just an observation but found the language on the two tweets announcing the 2 signings interesting.  O’Connell was described as a ball playing CB and Mandela an attacking full back.  I’m not arguing these aren’t qualities they possess, just funny how football’s changed and languages, optics and messaging is used.  When you think about it, is it because the club are trying to put a message across as to the style and brand TS keeps sharing in interviews, is it to reassure us as fans we’re getting exciting players, or is it just the done thing in football now?  
    Indeed it is the way things are done in such announcements, emphasise the key attributes that show a player is different/better than what went before.

    When Garner is sacked because we let in 4 goals a game, and we being in Tony Pulis to sort out the defence, the tweets about our defensive signings will say things like

    "He's a no nonsense defender, he loves keeping the ball out of the net and is happy to kick it into row Z if necessary"
  • I’m fully expecting a number of trialists will be on the trip to Spain. Hopefully we get some names from the camp.

    Sounds as if Thomas is staying put while players go to Spain as plenty going on, has extended his stay by 10 days.We're due to play a couple of matches behind closed doors in Spain, in the new kit.
    Super early kit reveal?👀
  • I know where you are coming from cabbs however the clips clearly show O'Connell can play as well as hoof it. Early doors but he looks more skillful than some of our midfield players. 
    Yes, as I say, not questioning their respective abilities, more an observation.  Funny how football has changed with the way things are put across now.  Back when I was a nipper it was club call and I was eagerly awaiting a snippet in the Mercury about Bradley Allen

    Thanks for the info, do we know if the games will be on stream or if the kit will actually be officially revealed by then?

  • Gallen is friends with Dougie Freedman sporting director at Palace.
    Add that to Steve Parish is one of the people Thomas does takes advice from.

    Sounds like we should expect more players in this week. I could used to this one a day.

    Welcome to our trialists Matthew Adams, Ken Watson, Barry Arter and Kris Günter.
    And Ron Black 😉
  • Good signing for Sheff Wed today, getting Will Vaulks from Cardiff. Very good player at this level.
    Saw this and it did feel like a bit of a reality check after getting excited the last 2 days. I like our 2 signings so far but just a reminder this league is going to be difficult to even get top 6 in. Hopefully we have signings of this calibre on the way as well as picking the best of lower league 1/league 2 talent
  • Any of these good enough or too old?

    League 2 'Team of the Year' player.

    Sure, he's just signed for Walsall, but we need to aim high.

    Egbo played in the Dartford academy - he actually packed football in for a while to play footsall but thats a bit irrelevant - i could see him definitely being somebody who we may be interested in and vice versa 
    Not claiming any ITK status on us signing Egbo but for those saying it came out of the blue, he was on a few radar’s and the one time I’ve seen him play he was motm by a country mile

    No stream, completely behind closed doors. Not sure on kit reveal, new sponsor so a lot of logistics to sort out.
  • These two new lads feel like proper Charlton signings.I will try and save judgement until the end of the window but things seem to be coming together with the new gaffer and on the recruitment front. Early days but starting to feel a little more optimistic for the new season!

    As other have said, will be nice to get a LB in soon for the defensive unit to start to gel. Desperately need a pacy striker too.

    HMS Scrape into the Playoffs could be on!

    I understand Thomas's half time guitar solo is available on Alan Nixon's patron for a reasonable £19.99 a month  🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Alternatively send me £20 a month and I won't share Nixon's news :wink:

    Evidence based assessment?

    We have appointed a League 2 manager.  So far, we have signed two League 2 players ... one of which finished in 18th place.

    It may work out.  It may not.  But it's hardly a proven recipe for delivering a Championship-ready (not Premier League-ready) team.

    I remain as optimistic as the next fan ... but don't kid yourself.  It's optimism, not evidence-based.
    Did you miss the next line, that there is a hell of a lot to do?

    Garner is a fantastic coach, if you look I mentioned him when it was the "who would you like next" stage of the thread.

    Evidence based, yes one is obviously a player the manager knows and wants, that hasn't been the case for a while.  The other is a player the manager would have watched live at least twice last season, plus the half dozen games he watched prepping for those games.

    Is it perfect?  Of course its not.  Maybe not giant strides, they could come later and will be judged accordingly, but certainly baby steps.

    So, that's optimism then.
