MacG and Gilbey on their way out then?! Can’t say I’m too bothered. Wollacott much better and never really rated Gilbey myself.
Perhaps. I worry about having Harness as our senior back up personally. Reckon that means Gilbey's out negotiating somewhere, think he's on his way out.
Don’t think I’ve seen Harness play tbf. I’m only concerned about the fact our number 1 is away for a 6 week period, can he cut it then
Seen him only 3 times... 1 pre-season, one paint pot, and Ipswich. Showed promise in the first but made an error for the goal, was good in the 2nd, was overwhelmed in the 3rd. Definitely a good keeper there, but as you say it's the 6 week gap and just generally League One play.
Wouldn’t it only be 6 weeks if your team progresses through the tournament? Should be all over after the group stage?
Heard much the same as jbaker tonight, but forward rather than striker used - versatile rather than one which can play in a 2 only…
CH had been the priority but one slipped away and though something being worked on, may not happen as also contingent on players out. Finding it hard to shift it would appear. Will be an interesting deadline day at least.
Leko has pace And experience at this level And it's a loan
Oh dear
posting without reading the last what 300 hundred odd messages..
what if... maybe... possibly...
someone who was crap last year might ACTUALLY work in this new set up?
Quick recap of an earlier post: The Leko thing started as a joke. He's come off the bench three times for Brum this season. He would almost certainly be better wide right in this system than he was at RWB and Striker in a pair with Burstow last season. He wants the ball to feet, not to run from out to in in behind defenses, so his style would overlap a lot with DJ and CBT, plus he'd be competing with JRS. We have CBT, JRS, Kirk, DJ, Leaburn, Payne, and Clayden who are all senior players who can play on the flanks.
Seems like a lovely lad. I really hope he figures something out with Birmingham this year. They play with wingbacks and two up top so I fear he's not that well suited to their system either. But I don't think him coming back makes sense for anyone at this point.
If we're getting a loan striker I'm going to have a random final guess at Stephen Humphrys from Wigan.
That could make sense, although it wouldn't fit the versatile forward described above.
But Wigan have Magennis, Ashley Fletcher, and Nathan Broadhead, and Wigan play 4-2-3-1. Humphrys has consistently made the bench in the league but hasn't made an appearance since the second match of the season. So think it's very possible he's available.
I think of him as more of a target man, but I haven't seen much of him. Not a great goal scoring record, but I don't know how consistently he's been first choice.
SDAddick Verdict: I'd take him if Garner feels he's mobile and technically good enough
Can't wait to see this defender we've signed on loan permanently once we've jogged on Gilbey. Reckon it's a Famewo esq youngun. Especially with didn't play league one last season teaser.
The striker forward that's signed for a fee that's still being worked on to loan in is the big one though, league one experience, but will it be a squad addition or a step up on Stockley, that early unveiling can't come late enough!!!
The striker - Wont by be a last minute announcement but only 95% done - could be an early morning medical ? Does s medical count as 5% ? Hope so - a quick medical, photoshoot at the valley, interview with him telling us what s great fan base we are, how he’s heard great things, he liked the way Ben garners teams play and what a great stadium it is and bosh - the impossible dream could be revealed by mid afternoon ?
I have very little faith in our owner at the moment, but for now he is delivering on the style of play he said he wanted. in came Garner and he’s put together a team so far that is delivering that.
If we get the two over the line today, then let him do his little chat. It is irritating but if it’s happening on the pitch I’ll stomach his chit chat.

Agreed - he only cuts and pastes what I say on here anyway so as long as he’s doing that I’m fine with it
We few, we happy few, we band of siblings. For they to-day that reads with with me Shall be my sibling, be they ITK or nay. This day shall gentle their condition; And Addicks in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their fanhood cheap whiles any speaks That read this thread with us upon transfer window day.

jbaker v cel cel - the showdown - who’s been mugged off and who’s ITK - live from the Charlton Life transfer rumours arena on final day - Barry Hearne would be proud of this
If, as appears likely, we’re only getting one player in today I hope they do the decent thing and hold off announcing him until about 9.30pm at the earliest.

From memory Redhenry, Covered_End_Lad, ButtleJR, Cafc43v3r have all posted consistently good info in the recent past.
not as much as the takeover thread but that’s hard to top!
You don’t say.🤨

Interesting few hours ahead indeed.

Anything can happen.
Who will go, Who will come?
3 in 3 out would be optimal
2 out 2 in would be good
2 or 3 out 1 in would be not ideal (we all know how our deadline windows go
