Fuck me but he does have De Bruyne, Sterling, Foden, Gundogan, Silva, Jesus, Mahrez and Grealish to name but a few in attack.Garrymanilow said:

Charlton have nobody approaching that level in League One equivalent. We have something approaching that level of talent from League 2 equivalent.... not yet proven they can do it in League One... or even get a League 2 side promoted....
I'm excited by this signing, but let's compare apples with apples - we are a MID TABLE League 1 side.... Man City, well.... aren't !

Doubt it, two ACL's in quick successionBostonaddick said:
Just my opinion but I think he is generally viewed as a better more versatile midfielder. Gilbeys struggles last couple of years might dampen interest a little bitRedhenry said:
Why would JFC have more interest than Gilbey?Bostonaddick said:Like this signing if it happens. Now we have two midfielders in Fraser and Payne who can chip in and score which we didn’t have with Albie/Gilbey. Neither Fraser or Payne are known for their defense so we probably see McGrandles starting at times against the better squads in the league since he is more combative. I hope we don’t move JFC because he would be good cover for Dobson if he were to be injured. I know jfc probably has more market interest than Gilbey/Albie but selling him would put a lot of pressure on Dobson. Now we need a goal scoring wide forward (prem loan or Mckirdy?) as much as I would like to upgrade on Innis as starting cb or Clayden/Davison as reserves, my guess is that this less of a priority and may not happen0 -

No, because Gilbey is pretty shite. JFC is a far superior footballer.Lazy_eye_metaphor said:

You really need to learn to read. Henry called Ronnie a troll, not you.addick1956 said:
Not really..all he has to do is tell me in front of others or alone why he called me a troll over something I was right about and why attaching it to that comment was trolling.ozaddick said:Sounds like the next Bromley addicks meet could be a bit tasty!
I never said it would be the next meeting as I can't always go. Depends when it is. Imagine if I had called him a troll over this if it was his post.
Asking him directly seems the best way rather than a row on here.
Back to the rumours.0 -
Two weeks ago TS said no signings likely in the next two weeks but that he expected the market to pick up as we got close to the start of the season.
And so it came to pass.
TS also five perm and 3 or 4 loans.
Garner said this morning 2 or 3 more.
We have five perms and 1 loan done.
So 2 or 3 loans still to come?
Things change as options come up, other deals fall through, injuries happen and players are moved on.6 -

I imagine a lot depends on who/how many moves out now. JFC and Davison both strongly linked with exits and I'd hope permanent replacements for both (unless we assume Payne IS the JFC replacement) and maybe a few others on loan.Henry Irving said:Two weeks ago TS said no signings likely in the next two weeks but that he expected the market to pick up as we got close to the start of the season.

Eh? I've not compared us to Man City, I'm just pointing out to Golfie that using Pep as an example of a team who need strikers isn't quite the right one considering he just won a league without them. I suspect we probably will line up with strikers..supaclive said:

think we know how that TS Garner interview really went: high press blah blah.. I can get you a new team for free.. you're hired!1

Great bit of content but presuming our marketing budget doesn't include usage rights for BBC owned content! Great bit of imagination though - love it!matt88 said:Todds_right_hook said:

The midfield is certainly about as good as you can hope for in this league. A left back, centre half and striker away for me.3

He is, and I thought he looked good. I like a full back who doesn’t just back off, he actually likes to get his foot in. With more minutes I think he’ll prove to be a good signing. Fingers crossed.Cafc43v3r said:
He is behind on "minutes" isn't he?killerandflash said:
I wasn't impressed with SS on Saturday as a left back, and interesting that he was substituted at HT rather than at 75 minutes, our only change at HT.Scoham said:
I’m thinking that way more now, a striker and/or winger seems more likely given the options we currently have.Cafc43v3r said:
I don't think we will sign a left back.soapboxsam said:Good that Richard Cawley is back in the know and Sage wins the messenger award so the likes won't be stripped from him.
The great unknown is how players dovetail but at least it seems we have another Payne in the window so now on to the LB issue
I thought SS was meant to be two footed, I don’t think we’ve seen enough of him in preseason to show he can’t be effective on the left.
It also seems the club have faith in Clayden, I don’t think we should write him off. It’s a gamble but a second choice LB doesn’t have to be a top L1 player for us to do well.This summer transfer window seems to be more about marginal gains so far, rather than any wow factor signings. Perhaps that’ll turn out to be a good thing.0 -
Two forwards, for me. That's all. The rest is amply covered - both Clare and Egbo can probably play on the left in an emergency, not to mention Clayden0

Guess what, I'm not convinced either as SS is going to play LB. Is there some chubby but skilful 18 year old attacking LB who can attack like Luke Shaw but has gone under the radar?
Jacob Roddy0 -
Completely (and respectfully!) disagree, fed up of being one injury away from someone needing to fill in, do a job etc. It wouldn't take an emergency at the moment - Egbo is already injured, and Inniss is injury prone.Leuth said:Two forwards, for me. That's all. The rest is amply covered - both Clare and Egbo can probably play on the left in an emergency, not to mention Clayden
If Inniss gets injured as normal before Egbo is back, we'd have Clare, Lavelle, O'Connell, Sessegnon, with only really Elerewe as back up, and then Roddy/Clayden etc at full back. We'll play at least 51 games this year, that's not enough depth.
I think we're a left back and centre back short.10 -

Forward who can do a job wide and left back, that’s it for me, the rest is a bonus.2
-
There is still loads of time left in this window. The signings so far seem to be good and fit the plan. Not a chance we wont sign another striker and LB atleast imo20
-
Agree that that's probably the midfield done unless someone even better becomes available and we can shift Gilbey or Morgan to make room.
We still need a left footed defender, ideally two.
We still need a winger and probably a striker because we can't rely on Chuks to play regularly.
Anything else after that is a bonus.
Assuming the recent murmurs are correct and JFC & Davison leave before the window shuts:
GK: Wollacott, MacGillivray (Harness?)
DF: Clare, Egbo, Sessegnon, X, O'Connell, Inniss, Lavelle, X (Elerewe? Clayden?)
MF: Dobson, Fraser, McGrandles, Payne, Morgan, Gilbey (Henry?)
FW: Stockley, X, Aneke, Kirk, Blackett-Taylor, DJ, X (Leaburn? Kanu?)
Sarr, Scully and Stockton would be a good start. :-)8 -
I'll ask @Sage and let you know.Callumcafc said:

Those three wouldn't be too shabby7 -
100%. Players potentially doing a job is a large part of the reason we've been shite over the last couple of years. Not having a left-footed defender in the squad would be mental.mendonca said:
Not for me. We don't have a single left footed defender. That includes CB, LB and LWB.Leuth said:Two forwards, for me. That's all. The rest is amply covered - both Clare and Egbo can probably play on the left in an emergency, not to mention Clayden8 -
CBT is a million times a better striker than Davison is or Parker was IMO. So I think as you say he could do a job.BR7_addick said:Two replies about CBT, agree he’s not a striker but Parker wasn’t either I don’t believe, he was used as a pest for defenders chasing down lost causes. We’re likely to sign a forward when Davison goes anyway.1 -
