Might be complete bollocks but I have heard that we did actually have an offer in for Stockton. It was higher than Burtons but only slightly, and there was another L1 club with a similar bid to us but he chose Burton as the location worked better for him. I’m assuming guaranteed game time might have been a factor also but geography was the reason given
If true, I don’t think it means much as I doubt he was a top target. When we have Leaburn and could be in for May it wouldn’t make much sense to spend too much on another striker when there are other areas of the team that need upgrading2 -
If we can't get a fee for Kirk. Keep him and make him work to get in the squad. Simples.2

Kirk can go, bang average league one player at best. I’d love to mark him as a full back wouldn’t even need tape to hold your socks up.9

I’d rather watch Woolacott be given a chance at left wing than watch him run away from another challenge and shout at his team mates because they didn’t pass to him. He doesn’t have the mentality needed for a team willing to give everything for the cause. The minimum I expect Holden to demand.Dazzler21 said:If we can't get a fee for Kirk.

I dont think they would i think they would play Burstow wide in that type of role rashford playscfgs said:
Plus it also slows Miles's development, having a loanee ahead of him.Scoham said:
You’d find it hard to find anyone who disagrees. No chance Burstow would have made the impact Leaburn did last season if he played the same amount.seth plum said:Don’t like the Burstow talk, it puts in my mind loaning him opens the way for Leaburn to leave.
I think Leaburn offers more.0 -
Desperate to stay on the wages he is currently on, it reads like.captainbob said:I have never been in the know on players so this is a first for me. I heard today that Charlie Kirk wants to stay at Charlton as he is desperate to prove himself. The source is about as good as it gets.2 -

we only want players with ambition for the club as well as themselves and to grow with us just like Miles shouldNabySarr said:Might be complete bollocks but I have heard that we did actually have an offer in for Stockton.

I am. the only one who really wouldn’t want Burstow back , I was never really that impressed and suprised he went Chelsea and was really poor when he came back loan the first time around37

Bit cringe that comment from Holden re; the packed valley and the player ‘already sold’. As much I think Holden is down to earth, and could be a decent manager for us, there’s something about him that gives me the sense he’s worked us out as a fanbase and very good at telling us what we want to hear.
It’s no one thing in particular, the odd comment here and there, the visits to the Oak etc. for me, although he’s come into a shambles of a club, the jury is very much still out and he needs to prove himself before all the love ins etc. you’ve got to remember his career had stalled before us and I don’t think he was in high demand21 -
Ackers asking me whether he has good recruiting skills was not on my Summer transfer bingo list11 -
Akinola could come up to me in a newsagents and say "Hi I'm Tim Akinola" and my response would be "who the fuck is that?"
I know it's Accers so it's bullshit anyway, but he's plumbing new depths of nonsense6 -
I like him and hope he does well but we know from interviews that he's done that he's a very articulate and intelligent guy who knows the importance of language and words. That's not at all a bad thing but I do agree that he's definitely playing the game (probably out of necessity though) and you don't want to treat his word as gospel truth.cabbles said:Bit cringe that comment from Holden re; the packed valley and the player ‘already sold’.

Same as Storrie for that matter, another old football head who is pretty adept at saying jusy enough and in just the right way to be "economic with the truth" but not an outright liar.2 -
He was broke when he arrived and nothing changed. Get rid.nagAddick said:

Holden and Storrie are trying to give us a reason to believe when there is nothing yet to believe in. Fair play to them, what else can they do in their positions.thenewbie said:

But we are the fools if we go along with the bullshit.2 -
People who understand football and football fans is a step up from what we’ve had for most of the last decade or so. But yes, plenty more for him to prove.cabbles said:Bit cringe that comment from Holden re; the packed valley and the player ‘already sold’.

Curbs used to do the ‘hard sell ‘ when trying to sign new players
IMO nothing wrong with what Dean is doing.I like the guy and let’s see what he can do with hopefully a full preseason of new recruits.Hopefully we get the takeover done soon and the new players follow quickly.Keep the Faith8 -

Undeniably Kirk has looked sh*te for us. However, he clearly needs an overlapping, natural left back/full back to play with him. When was the last time we had one of those?
We have this knack of signing players and not playing to their strengths. We haven't seen first hand what Kirk's strengths are, or indeed if he has any, but it feels as though we (as in the club - not us fans) have not even tried to find out.
I won't hold my breath but if he wants to stay, Holden is happy for him to stay, and we sign a natural overlapping full back to play with him, who knows?

If we were to sign Edun then he certainly fits the profile for the kind of LB to help get the best out of Kirk.4

A year with Chelsea could have made him a lot better. Especially as he didn’t come from an academy background so was very raw when he was with us. He had pace and could finish, if they’ve made him stronger and better technically then he’d be a very good playerCH4RLTON said:I am. the only one who really wouldn’t want Burstow back , I was never really that impressed and suprised he went Chelsea and was really poor when he came back loan the first time around0 -
No, it’s not specific to him and on the whole I am positive about his appointment, I just prefer the whole mixing with the fans in the oak thing done once we are turning in consistent performances on the pitch.sillav nitram said:cabbles said:Bit cringe that comment from Holden re; the packed valley and the player ‘already sold’.

When you look at Burstow and Leaburn, both are able lads in different ways but what I saw with Burstow was somebody who hadn't learned the other part of the game whereas Leaburn was definitely developing it. Of course we haven't seen Burstow for a season, but his game, IMO, needed league one or two defenders kicking lumps out of him. I won't go against the manager but personally I don't like the sound of such a move.0

Spent last season on loan in the National league and only started 10 games. Yep he's definitely the player we need.Foxycafc said:

BigRedEvil said:Sessegnon would be a mistake imo. He obviously has a knee injury which was being nursed throughout the season. Another Solly
Sess performances were still really good tho, Solly struggled the last few seasons IMHO1 -
Burstow? Ffs0

I really hope Kirk, Lavelle and DJ are nowhere near the starting 11 come start of the season. Preferably, all have moved on .4

Top scorer with 10 goals in 24 starts for Chelsea U21s last season.sam3110 said:Has he progressed in that 18 month period? Because he wasn't good enough to start every game in League 1 when we sold him
Not exactly setting the world alight but he's still only 19 (turns 20 in August). If you ignore the fact he was with us before and we were linked with a Chelsea youth striker i think people would generally be a lot more positive.3
