I don't need no UEFA coaching license to tell you we need a striker, if none is signed before the transfer window is shut then TS and possibly BG have set us up to fail.
I do however believe we will bring one in on loan.
Hopefully with the impact of a Cullen Bielik or Gallagher

I heard someone at united is unsettled at the moment, could do wonders, great in the air, got a rocket on him, passes the height test. Names Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo.

I hope you are right. I don't want to hear Sandgaard saying at the end of the season that a mid-table finish wasn't what he was hoping for and we didn't get our summer recruitment right by not having sufficient striker options.

Exactly, I'm pro TS if that's a thing, and have backed him a lot. But this would be criminal and outright dumb if a ST wasn't signed. I was ok with us letting Washington go, but I thought it would go without saying that a replacement would be lined up.

Turned him down before he went to Man U the first time, do not suppose he has got any better, plus he is too old😉
I am hoping that the management team are playing their cards close to their chests and are now on the hunt for a striker or two. Yesterdays game was like the Norwich cup game, loads of endeavour but no real threat. Stockley being singled out as a weak link fails to take on board the fact that he played his better games with Washington alongside him, if the team don't start out that way it needs to be an option for the manager, at the moment he does not have that option.
The only joy I got last year was watching Dobson play. Fully deserved POTY for putting in consistently high performances and "what a goal"! Surely he has earned his place in the team this season. Selling him will be a BIG mistake.
Find a gem of a player and then look to sell. Great tactic to gain promotion.
If we need 3 or 4 more players but can’t sign that many because of financial fair play, but selling Dobson means we can then it might make sense. Also a big part of Sandgaards strategy is signing players at a good age and a good price so that we can make profit on them to reinvest. Plenty of teams do this successfully, just look at Brentford
Dobson was the only real bright spot last season other than bursts by CBT, but maybe he doesn't fit for Garner. Gutted but if he goes at least he goes whilst his price is high
Wasn’t Alex Gilbey and Craig McGillvrey both players of the year before they came to Charlton? I’d be wary of one good season, especially under a different manager and completely different system.
Under Adkins, the vast majority of fans on here were bemoaning Dobson (and Clare) as a product of our poor ‘black box’ recruitment.
I even remember a well respected poster on here, whose views I always like to pay attention to, saying they ‘were not of the desired quality’.
Dobson absolutely excelled in that role under Jackson, and often felt like he was doing two players jobs as we were so overrun in the middle of the park. Does not mean he will under Garner where the goal will be to keep hold of the ball and win possession back much higher up the pitch.
Would I like Dobson to stay, 100% yes, but if he was to go and it meant we could strengthen attacking areas I wouldn’t be devastated. From how pre season went, how well Morgan has played, and that glimpse of McGrandles, I’m not even sure he’s in my first XI.
Yes, lets look at a successful team of similar size and be as clever as they have been. Sandgaard is a bloody genius. Makes selling your best player seem sensible.
He hasn’t gone yet and if he goes I’d be surprised if it doesn’t lead to us bringing in more than 1 or2 further signings. There are plenty of things TS can be fairly criticised for but something that hasn’t happened yet isn’t one of them.

Permanent forward.
Midfielder departing.
Loaning out youngsters such as Clayden won’t free up much budget.
I guess the alternative is there’s interest in Dobson or Kirk with clubs willing to pay a relatively big fee.

A winger who scored 18 in 25 games for Palace’s reserves (u23s?) sounds like the type of wide player we need.
Perhaps he’s the one Garner’s been tracking, with his Palace connections we should have a good chance.
Surely he has earned his place in the team this season. Selling him will be a BIG mistake.
TS has done well on outgoing business so far, especially selling players when they're overvalued (Bonne for example).
