  • I'm almost convinced they're delaying announcements for dramatic effect.
    I gave them too much credit.

    People can be in the know about whats potentially happening in the background

    But until it happens a lot can change - No wonder less and less people on here are sharing information they're aware of, if they're gonna get stick when it doesnt happen

    Hmmm.

    Might be worth checking what Martin actually told several Lifers at last night's game. 

    Sounded to me as though he was 100% certain of his facts on the transfer front. 

    Now IF he was a bona fide employee at our club, he might have found that his salary had suddenly become  "too rich" in the current economic climate ( at CAFC )

    Until the Contract is signed any number of things can happen

    Martin is a twat for thinking he was 100% certain, but until its on the O/S anyone is an idiot for believing that.

    It should always be appreciated if a Lifer passes on the information they've heard, but again it should never be taken as gospel and those who pass the information on should never be moaned at until its on the OS
  • 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. 
    Thought I saw they'd signed Surridge from Forest?

    Agreed on the second part.

    Hahahahaha for all of you saying "patience" and "wait until the window closes", where are you now?!

    Absolute chancers
    This in spades......and more spades.

    Week after week I kept being told we have until Sept 1st to finalise our transfer dealings.

    Why dont people listen when I say you want to get your players in early. I bet some posters on here wait until xmas day to buy their loved ones some presents & end up having to buy an ice scraper or driving gloves from the petrol garage.

    Utter shambles. 
  • Down to Garner the current squad and some of the up and coming talent we’ve got then. I refuse to be as defeatist as many on here, especially with how we’ve started. 

    That being said there was enough attacking players available for us to have for something sorted if we really wanted to. Makes the resigning of Aneke even more of a miff to me.
  • What happened with the centre back we were supposed to be bringing in?

    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.
    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
    No I just don't need calling out for the club to fail to sign anybody but move on two first team squad players and two junior players yet have a CEO / Owner telling us we were pushing for two, maybe more players.

    It is what it is BUT we are going nowhere in Division 3.  Stand back and actually understand that.

    Charlton are a mid table, division three team.

    I want better.  Sorry.
  • Bitterly disappointing,even with Bonne if that's happened.

    You think you've turned a corner with this club and end up right back where you started.
    F******g bunch of amateurs.There can be absolutely no doubt about that now..

    I fail to see how even the most optimistic can think we're progressing/ escaping this league under this owner. Going nowhere fast at best and backwards at best on and off the pitch and that's some achievement after the last decade of self destruction.

    Just be honest and stop with the bullshit.  It's insulting if he doesn't believe it but more worrying if he does.

    Need to hope that Garner is the next David Moyes as currently feels like another also ran squad compared to the other promotion chasing clubs we're supposedly competing with.
    For the sake of a decent centre back, a decent striker & maybe a LB & I think we would have been challenging for top 6 (not top 2). As it is I can only see a mid table finish because we aren't going to score enough goals & look likely to ship goals at the back. It's a job half done but the sandgaard family know best or possibly having realised the cost involved are happy to keep us at this level.

  • Polish Pete is available on a free.
  • 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.
    Can you tell us who the players were at this point?
    Defender was a loan from champ side, wasn’t given name. 

    Forward was Scully from Lincoln.
    Clear what happened with Scully then, Championship interest came in and we didnt stand a chance
  • Don't expect anything of significence to be announced, which suggests that cost cutting is more important than a push for promotion.

    Thanks for sharing. Scully would have been an excellent signing and would presumably have trumped Bonne. I was really pleased with our earlier business but the last few weeks has been a total non-event. They do not seem to learn.
  • Mid table side this year in a crap league good night

    I believe we were told he said it's 95% done (having known the player had passed his medical) but obviously anything less than 100% isn't done and so it came to be. 

    Now I wonder if Bonne and his agent saw the reaction from us and it turned his head right back round again.


  • Well... shit. That's disappointing.

    Sadly, my worst fears that we were going to be ultra-frugal and spend nothing have been realised. The lack of cover for up top and at the back remains a concern and we're now where we are until January.

    Can't shake the feeling that we don't quite have the squad to get to playoffs. Really felt like we were going to get a couple in and push on. Still looking forward to seeing more Garnerball, but there's not much depth in those key areas.

    A big shame.

  • Where was plan B? 
  • So who is going to be tasked to scan the lists of free agent forwards? Any volunteers?

    I cannot believe that could happen on such a forthright and upstanding forum such as this










    (… but it is going to be fun finding out who was right and wrong!)
    Unless of course they are BOTH wrong and we sign absolutely nobody....
    I ain't going to say I tol - who am I kidding, NAILED IT. 

    I guess this makes me officially an ITK now...

    JFC to Wimbledon?

    Nope. Its a defender on loan from Bristol City. 
  • Did DJ end up going, I can’t renember.

    Yep indeed, and shows the complexity of how the transfer market works even though those who literally have no idea like to make out how simple it is.

    Either way though, that’s why you have a ‘list’ of targets and I can’t believe it was just Scully and Bonne on it.
