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.

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.

Think there be two maybe three but the third will depend on two players going and at the moment that only looks like one going .. but it can all go barmy in the last 2/3 hours

Noooooo
Needs to be held over until after 10.00pm for the "and some papers have been faxed over to the league and we're waiting for them to be signed off" drama.
Suspect there will be some very tough decisions for one or two today. Prospects of pay cuts to get a game or facing the fact that they may have to live in a sh*t hole part of the country. This level do not earn enough on average to take themselves out to some leafy suburb £2m pad after training each day after all.
I think there is a significant risk that we may be lumbered for now and that may see us able to bring in just one more player. Hope my instincts are completely wrong. We need a couple more to have a charge (full stop)…
😂 fuck me no wonder I mostly just read this forum and don’t post a lot. . . In all seriousness I’ve had a number of decent chats over the last 12 months with Martin Sandgaard and he was who told me last night after the game. He was quite open with the information. I made a point of saying the fan base thought it was the other way round saying the defender was a done deal and striker/forward was a bit further off. . . .
He was actually telling a few other fans the same thing and is really approachable about our transfer dealings. Just posting what I was told as from the way it was put across to me he wanted the fans to know what was happening.
i made a point of saying can you not leave any announcement until 11pm so we can all get some sleep as to which he said no it will be earlier in the day!
if some1 bids 2m for Clare then we might be in trouble!

Cawley’s tweet pushes jbaker into an early lead.
My guess is both were accurate at the time and this is probably a case of things changing since CEL got his info.
Cawley update aligns with what jbaker and I were told last night. No mention of the conditions of incomings being outgoings there, so TS may decide to go for it out of necessity after all. 🤞

Probably explains why so many fans thinks he a twat then.
Sorry but that was just to much of an open goal to miss 😀😀😀😀
CEL may have been right - as I was told we were super close with a defender who has picked up an injury, ruling the move out. I think it is a CEL save, but jbaker right, who I suspect was in the same vicinity to me at last night’s game.

Interesting few hours ahead indeed.

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.
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
I had the Chicken Balti which was very good.
