That’s inexcusable tbh. We’ve had 3 months to sign a striker after letting a perfectly good one go for free.
I assume either QPR pulled of the deal because they needed to get a striker in themselves or Bonne changed his mind. Either way, leaving it until the evening of deadline day and failing is a complete embarrassment. Sandgaard has once again over promised and horribly under delivered.
Didn’t want Bonne but fucking hell you couldn’t make it up. Whatever the merits or otherwise of Washington and Davison we are now a Stockley injury off being right royally fucked. And this when it looks like two signings could have actually made this a successful season. Sandgaard better get used to the idea of losing a lot more money.
Shambles very very poor. Feel for Garner really not enough squad depth and barely any goal threat up front with stockley not suiting the style and 300k sicknote always injured.
QPR fan reckons it’s because they didn’t get a striker in.
For me, Bonne is insignificant. It’s the fact we’ve let it tick down to the final seconds when it’s been clear since the first game Stockley wasn’t gonna work in Garners system. That on top of the failure to get in another defender that we’ve seemingly been after for weeks is what makes this so damning.
No signing. Player passed their medical but no deal.
It doesn't actually say that It could have been many reasons
Yes it does...
We thought we were there and the player had passed his medical at our training ground on Thursday evening, but unfortunately there were complications beyond our control late in the day, which went down to the last minute, and we haven’t been able to sign the player.
Cue all the people who said “I’d rather no one than Bonne” complaining that we didn’t sign any one.
Why does it have to be so binary. We can want players to come bolster the squad as clearly needed without being overly keen on Bonne. It was never about mere bodies coming in it was about adding quality to help us compete for promotion as we're clearly lacking and now relying on frees that no other club has deemed worth signing/ retaining in the window.
Might get another CBT and be laughing or might not.
Charlton fans only want Charlton to do well and find it so bizarre the snarky comments and scorn at fellow Charlton fans being disappointed/ frustrated at lack of adding to a potentially decent base squad.
Following the closure of the 2022 summer transfer window, the club would like to update supporters.
The Addicks signed seven players during the window and were working very hard to add at least one more player on transfer deadline day.
Charlton Owner and CEO Thomas Sandgaard said: “It has been a busy few days and we were very confident of bringing in another striker before the deadline. The whole recruitment team - myself, Steve [Gallen], Martin [Sandgaard] and Ben [Garner] - have been working tirelessly to get this last deal completed.
“We thought we were there and the player had passed his medical at our training ground on Thursday evening, but unfortunately there were complications beyond our control late in the day, which went down to the last minute, and we haven’t been able to sign the player.
“With players departing the club on loan, that frees up some space in the squad and we’ll now have a further look at options in the free agent market.
“Despite not getting a striker in, we have a very good squad in place and an excellent manager, as our early-season performances have shown. The whole group are focused on the coming months and doing the best they can for the club.”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
You can all mock me all you like......but I wasn't wrong.
The 'free agent market'? Like instead of shopping in Lidl, it's shopping at the food bank. Or going down Lewisham 'market' after the stall holders pack up, and gathering a few cabbage leaves from the pavement. As far as I am concerned it remains a must win at Bolton. I suppose the remaining players have less competition for their place in the team, that might be a good thing.

The player had passed his medical !!
He did NOT fail his medical
My grasp of English is quite good
The player did NOT fail his medical ffs !!
lol!... You need to go away and calm the fuck down fella
Well that didn’t go to plan. Just passed on what I was told from a usually impeccable source, not convinced even the recruitment team have much of a clue.
We are now officially fucked. . . 95% done direct from the man who does the transfers. . . Still doesn’t happen . . . Fear the mood turns now so early in the season if we don’t win on Saturday.

Can you tell us who the players were at this point?
Does feel a bit stupid to have left signing a striker to the last day, and what about the CB position that desperately needs filling?
No meltdown from me, but I am disappointed that we're seemingly so close to having a proper crack at promotion and for whatever reason we're not giving it full commitment. Yes results have been good so far, but we all know that we're going to have injuries to key players and we simply don't have the depth to deal with that currently.

I absolutely still rather it.

Mid table obscurity once again.

To get absolutely no-one in in two key areas that desperately needed it is bordering on criminal.
I thought we weren’t leaving it all to the last minute this time Thomas?
