Our defensive three will likely be: Lavelle - Inniss - *New*. I hope Clare can come into either the RWB position or CM and can still be utilised as a CB in emergency.
I expect our first team may look something like this over the next week:
M.Brewer Lavelle - Inniss - New Clare - Morgan - Dobson- Fraser - F.Caskey New - Stockley
...and I genuinely felt a bit sad not typing Washington there. It also feels a mess with a CM at LWB & RWB respectively, but we have seen them both do well there.
I would also assume that B.Taylor & Aneke will be available from the bench (hopefully MacG also demoted to the bench)
I have no inside info other than two new players inbound and that was from Mr ButtleJR who keeps getting bits right.
If you want to get promoted Clare shouldn’t be a first 11 player.

I don't expect him to be come first game of the season/close of the window. I disagree though as a RCB he was one of our best players last season, wasn't he second or third to Dobson/Dobson & Stockley?
RCB is his best position. Although he has the engine to get up and down I don’t see him whipping in crosses etc as a wing back.
Also don’t think he’s up to being a CM….he’s failed to make that position his own at both Oxford and Charlton now.
I agree, think he could do ok as right back in a back 4 as well. But I don’t think he should start for a team aiming to go up, if we are serious about promotion then he should just be a useful versatile squad player
Ben Thompson has joined Peterborough. Always rated him.
Good. We don't want another Ben.
Oh I don't know! That Ben Zema claimed to be an addicks fan back in the day. Not really a like for like replacement for our last Ben though, Mr Purrington, unless we can deploy him as flying left wing back. However, at 34 his legs might have gone a bit. Its a shame really, probably not going to happen this season.
The 22-year-old Gillingham defender, who is set to become a free agent at the start of July, was a target for Royals but it is understood the two clubs could not agree on a suitable financial package.

I guess it will cost at least £200k +sell on if it went to tribunal. Would they be allowed to spend money?
We could now that the transfer window has opened 😉
But why would we ? We have until the end of August & we all know that it's best to wait for the bargains to appear.....
Thomas won't want to fly back to the States empty handed on the incoming players front. That said, it takes two to tango and he'll need those pesky agents to keep in step with him.
I would hope for some news on signings at the end of the day tomorrow, players will be at the training ground for the start of pre season so a good time for the photo shoots on the first day of training.
Anybody including Innis in our starting 11 need to have a re-think. It was a shocking decision to retain him based on his injury record and to build a defense with him in it is asking for trouble.

Yeah but he’s a nice guy and does a lot good work in the community.
Another forum reporting our entire Summer budget is £400,000. I'll let the 'Like to LOL ratio' gauge whether it's true or not.
The hatred for TS on there is hilarious. Now saying he's on borrowed time when we are yet to unveil a signing.
The Moderator on there, Reams, is not even a Charlton Fan, everything he posts is always negative and the language he uses, often the C word aimed at TS, his other half and anyone connected to Charlton. A friend of mine refuses his son to use the forum (He is 15), due to the language on there, His son told me the only nice positive post he has ever seen on there, was saying how great Wrexham are.

Buttle I may have got this wrong but didn't sandgaard say that he would be coming to the UK "with his investors" Did anybody get to the bottom of what he meant by that ?

I do agree, the wages we are offering is likely to impact our activity a lot more than the fees we pay.
Although Wigan did spend a lot more than 600k, think Kerr alone cost that.

Only other fee was 32k for Shinnie, unless I'm incorrect.

Certainly made up.
