With the relationship Gallen has with Freedman, Garners background I can see this one having legs if we are in for him, especially as franchise have dropped out. This might be the one Garner alluded to the other night.
We have been in for Rak-sakyi for at least the last few weeks, he nearly signed before the Sutton game but two Championship clubs came in for him. Not sure if we will get him but we stand the best chance out of the league one clubs that are interested.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I would guess it comes down to having a very good chance of regular football here or taking your chances in the Champ but potentially being a squad player.
What about the big question - have you heard if we're also after an out and out striker?
Hard to accept but Charlton should definitely be cultivating a relationship with Palace with a view to loans. They bring through a lot of good young players and we are close enough to be ideal for many of their loans. Easy for the loanee and easy for palace to keep good tabs.

Haven’t heard anything on a striker but I do think we will get one. We are definitely also looking at a left sided defender, one from spurs was mooted a few days ago.
I do think that 2-3 really good loans is brilliant in this league and can give you the real edge. Think Sessignon looks a great acquisition and the young palace kid would fit the mould too.
But I hope we don’t have more than 3 as I’m bored of having half our team made up of other teams players.

It is risky to have too many as well. With Rak-Sakyi (if we get him) and sessegnon I could definitely see them being recalled in January and loaned to the championship if they do well for us. Same thing happened to Garner with Swindon they had a few recalled and without that disruption I think they would probably have made the top 3

Back in for Nile John, still desperate to make his Charlton debut?

Ipswich have spent 900k on left back Leif Davis from Leeds.
Think it was said elsewhere on this thread earlier but i just dont understand how these clubs, in the same league as us and of a similar size can seemingly just go out and spend the way they do? Are they not subject to the same spending caps as us then? Find it all very strange.

Yes they just ignore them, post truth world now innit.
Can't wait until the football starts - there is nothing new left to say about transfers at this point. 99% of us agree we need a striker winger and left back, I'm sure the club know it and are working on it
Chucks is an absolute shambles for our club the decision to bring him home was a shocker. How we are going into the season relying on this injury prone player says we are not going anywhere fast
Chuks will be ideal for 30 minute cameos, especially with 5 subs now being allowed. The thing that a lot of us seem to feel is that we need at least one other striker who can play a whole game. FWIW I think we’ll sign a striker and an attacking forward/winger but we’ll have to make a couple of tough calls to balance the books. Ultimately I think we have to back Garner.

Who wants a cameo player? Put it this way I bet BG would rather have his wages and the £300k to invest than be stuck with someone who unfortunately just cannot be relied on at anytime
You always have a striker on the bench. You bring them on 90% of the time.....
At 1-1 or 1-0 either way would you rather bring on Chuks, Washington or Davison? If your doing that 35 times a season what's the problem?
You do indeed. The thing is that striker you bring on 90% of the time also usually ends up filling in for 90 minutes when others are suspended, injured, or it’s a busy schedule and they need a rest.
Aneke cant do any of them. Aneke can’t even get through a pre season where there’s less intensity and his minutes were more managed than any other player.
That's why you need at least 1 more striker. Someone to replace/alternate with Stockley and that can play 90 mins week in & week out. Then you have Aneke to come off the bench for 20-30 mins. With 5 subs allowed to come on surely you can have 2 out & out strikers in your 7 man bench.
I agree, but the problem is that striker will need to get us goals because there may be periods of the season where they play the full 90 minutes of games. So we don’t want a Josh Parker. However which ‘prolific’ striker is going to want to come in knowing that they won’t get a chance off the bench because of Aneke and may only be used if the main striker is injured or suspended.
Of course maybe there may be someone young and hungry who wants to take that chance dislodging Stockley, but I expect most decent strikers will want to move somewhere where they will get lots of guaranteed minutes.
And how much of the budget do we spend on this player who may only have very limited game time? When we already have a good chunk of the said budget being spent on Stockley and a player who can’t play more than 20-30 minutes a game.
The answer I guess is that we need someone who could play right or left of Stockley but is also decent upfront, that way they'll be there an an option to compete with Stockley, CBT, Kirk etc, not just Stockley.
A League One Rashford/Son type player (positionally, obviously I'm not expecting us to sign a Son-quality player!).
Easier said than done, though, there's not a ton of them about.

I thought the rules were based on club income, whether that be through receipts or loans. If that is the case, we had the 4th largest attendance average last season, Sunderland promoted, thereafter Wednesday and Ipswich. In Weds case and an average £15 per ticket, I think their income would be c£1.75m greater than ours, delivering about a £1m more in squad fund allowance should they choose to spend that much.
May have interpreted the basic rules incorrectly but in general the much larger average attendances for Weds and Ipswich contributes to their competitiveness. Add to that the three that have come down (particularly based on new Derby investors) and suspect we will have the 6th-8th highest wage and transfer fee bill combined.
The lad has got some composure, bag of tricks twisting and turning, quick feet, acceleration and change of pace. It's in tight spaces that he does the damage - faced with packed defences; he's a tin-opener.
When someone is this excited about a player on CL you know the chances of it happening are a whopping 0.01% 😉
Spoke to my Palarse mate (I know 🤢) and he said that Ray-Sakyi has played a lot of minutes on the preseason tour; v Man U (65 mins) v Liverpool (74 mins) v Leeds (90 mins)

Palace mate? With all due respect there is a high probability thar your pal is on some kind of register. Ignore him.
