This is so not Charlton Transfer Deadline Day stuff, maybe get a early night in rather than waiting for the usual 11pm..."we tried our best but cocked it up"....Reasonably ok with things so far, just need the Ladapo/Tedic deal sorted...✅
How can any of you say that the window has been good, bad or indifferent. Until the players have arrived, got match fit, and worked with the new manager we just don't know. At least the SMT have brought in a good number of players, we have the quantity let's wait and see if we have the quality
fantastic window lost count 12/13 with the keeper ? squad of youth , pace and energy some real competition for places now. Well done to the new owners and Andy Scott for getting these done so quickly in the short time the have been in the role .. now down to the new manager he as the tools top6 the aim COYR
I've resisted until now to comment on your many posts about how well everything is going but with less than 5 hours of the transfer window left I feel its time I replied
If you really feel that signing 4 or 5 players, all under the age of 23, who have hardly had any game time over the past couple of years is going to launch us up the table into a top 6 position then you really do need help.
1 or more of these signings may prove to be an inspired signing by Scott but my feeling is that having more than half your starting 11 being born this century does not bode well for a long hard slog of League 1 football.
A few 25-30 year old "been there, done that" battlers might have been useful.
We'll wait & see. But I'll give the summer transfer window a mediocre 5 out of 10.

To be fair you probably live a happier life than the rest of us realists.

I know he is on the wind up but this genuinely made me laugh
I think Tedic is the backup plan and Ladapo and Etete are number 1 and 2 on the list, but are a lot harder to finalise. I wouldn't be surprised to see it announced late tonight with a deal sheet submitted early but not confirmed til we know we don't have the other targets
If u r right then this window could be salvageable - no proven striker incoming and we r pissing in the wind
I was hoping that the terrible start alongside Aneke (Not confirmed) having another set-back would be enough to persuade the budget to be pushed out to get a proven striker, but that does not appear to be the case.

So you wouldn't be happy with May, Leaburn,Tedic,Kanu and the Campbell brother Ched and Tyrese plus CBT (if he is still here) attacking from the wing ? Not all at the same time obviously 🧐

Going to make me laugh even more if it somehow all comes together and these young signings are the second comings of Gallagher, Bielik and Cullen.
I'd be more fine with these loan incomings if they were additions who could flesh out a squad rather than, as it feels, players who we might need to lean on in no small part. And it definitely feels like we'll be seeing a lot of them.
That said, in JRS and Gallagher in recent years, we've had some great loans. We could have others again. We might not. It is miles too early to tell.
So the yanks have no money either. Like Sandgaard & ESI before them. Mostly loans & frees with money paid for just May, Taylor & Edun - and some of that was from money we got for selling a couple of players.
I wish I could be as happy as Ronnie or as miserable as Goldie, but I'm very much on the fence in regards to judging our window. We definitely need another striker but It's far too early to judge the other incomings

Not really - I think an experienced striker with some physical presence and mobility would help the whole team - a regular first choice up top with May not a load of bits and pieces who might have a good game one week then be injured or having a dip off n form or a growth spurt
Very odd transfer window. Seemingly looking ambitious with the May, Taylor, Isted and Camara signings early doors and then having a complete change of game plan by signing a bunch of young loan players with mostly limited experience after a string of injuries and a woeful start to the season.
Does not fit at all with a team looking to get promoted out of the division any time soon. We aren't building a squad either as we have players like CBT and Dobson, who are out of contract next year.
Obviously will support the team and hope we can pull something out of the hat but this window has left me very unenthusiastic about our chances - the new owner bounce went flat very quickly.

Apart from May, they have played a handful of games and scored a handful of goals between them. So no.

Peppa Pig World does some good midweek offers…

All played out just as we were told it would.

Just as well our caretaker/interim manager is only 35 or he wouldn't understand the banter.
