all seems very quiet on the RB who played for the u21s against Wigan
any update anyone?
My prediction on that one is, they're saving it for deadline day to soften the blow.
The cynic in me says they've announced Leaburn is close back to the team to also soften the blow.
In regards to Reams gents it's been said a thousand times, why do we keep bickering about him? He's put a rumour up, if it's wrong it's wrong. Doesn't change anything for anyone. It's a never ending sniping battle and it's unnecessary
Miles is still growing into his body and seems prone to picking up the odd niggly injury as a result. I don't necessarily think this is the case, but if the club have looked at him being nearly fit again and decided that means we no longer need a striker, then that would be mad. We need to be able to rest and rotate Miles, quite aside from the fact his record suggests we can't yet rely on him being fit every week.
Do we want a dickhead who scores 20 plus goals a season though - and is proven at this level? It would be peak Charlton to pass up signing a player with his goal scoring record because something.
Those who follow rugby union will see a parallel here...a few years back England under previous regimes refused to pick Dylan Hartley at hooker. After all he had a poor disciplinary record at club level and consequently some of the suits at the RFU didn't quite like the cut of his gib. A change of coach to Eddie Jones who had no problems with Dylan Hartley and England started winning matches again.
returning to full training but he's missed all pre season so I don't expect to see him involved for another three/four weeks.
He will have been doing a lot of fitness work the last couple of weeks that he’s been training away from the group. I’d expect to see him on the bench in the papa johns game next midweek if he doesn’t make the Fleetwood game. Just hope we sign a striker so we don’t have to rush him back too soon
I find that very unlikely.
I doubt he will be in the 1st team squad for another 2-3 weeks. Might be a godsend if the Wigan game is postponed so it will give us/him another week to get "up to speed".
Wonder if Miles being 2-3 weeks off will adjust any potential targets? Will we try and " get by" with Chem Campbell playing central for a bit and add a PL kid instead of Cosgrove?
Chem Campbell IS the PL kid !! There wont be anymore incomings upfront.

Believe it or not, (he himself won’t) I believe he may have good sources and potentially does something positive for us by indicating that the recruitment team are hard at work. He just does himself no favours by expressing it as if he himself is part of that process and can therefore say this or that will happen. I would have thought by now he would have learnt to present these insights more cautiously. Why make yourself a hostage to fortune time and time again when we all know these things can go wrong at the last minute for any number of reasons?
Harrogate want 500k for Luke Armstrong apparently. Probably not one I’d be massively keen on but probably in our budget range if the Nombe bid rumours are to be believed
Bizarre, when we only have one RB, an 18 year old, in the squad. What if Assimwe wakes up tomorrow feeling unwell?
3-5-2 CBT on the right, Edun on the left. That’s how I’d start anyway as I feel like Asiimwe could do with a rest. Actually think it would work better as we’d have threat from both sides rather than relying on CBT on the left
JCH doesn't tick many boxes for a Charlton signing, he's gonna have little resale value, he's expensive for any club in League 1, he's a bit of a dickhead and we'll have to change the way we play (again) to accommodate him
Bonne is a dickhead but we welcomed him with open arms!
Hardly welcomed him with open arms, I doubt most of us knew much about him plus a non league striker hardly sets the pulse racing & in anyway was signed as one for the future until injuries pushed him into the starting 11.
Just think it it was a straight forward loan deal that would have been done and dusted and completed this morning ( I expect the team on their way to Oxford ) I reckon it’s a perm deal now and my moneys on JHC or Collins at BR if BR bring in JHC …

Surely get it done and get him in the squad.
Whatever Charlie tells him to.
