Danny Hylton was only 5ft 11in... Alfie May is 5ft 9in - Agree with what you say about Leaburn though, really hope we can keep him fit, especially with what Methven was saying about the Brighton bloke who has joined the club.NabySarr said:

They are all strikers that can do a bit of everything. Strong enough that they can hold the ball up but also mobile enough to run the channels. I think Jones is going to love Leaburn as he is in that mould, so I really hope we can keep him and get him on a new contract2 -
You're that confident in your opinion, that you'll publicly criticise people who won't criticise decisions that "might" (or might not) be made in the future?SELR_addicks said:People already making premature excuses for bad decisions that the club might make in the summer.
Funny stuff.
I'll wait and see myself, but fully expect you to claim you knew all along if anything happens, even if the alternatives work out well, and even though you predicted it would be "bad".
Righto

Yep, Alfie is s***, he's only scored 80 goals in three seasonsoohaahmortimer said:Alfie is of the opinion Jones doesn’t rate him and that’s been from early on in Jones’s tenure .
It'd be a very brave decision to flog May IF Jones does not want him.2 -
Alfie looked happy enough when he emerged after the final whistle yesterday to give something to the crowd.
It was ridiculous transfer business in January to not bring in a target man striker, as with Leaburn out, Chuks too fragile to start games, and the hapless Tedic sent back, we had a gaping lack of one (and a crazy surplus of midfielders). Jones tried to rectify this with Wickham, but he's been as fragile as Chuks.
Having Wickham up front at Cambridge gave us a physical presence to bully the defenders, whereas yesterday we were desperately lightweight up top until Chuks came on, with their number 5 Forino constantly knocking Kanu off the ball. We desperately missed Wickham yesterday, and I wonder how many more goals Alfie would have scored if he has been able to play with a target man striker since January.3 -
You don't sell your best players, particularly the goalscorers.Talal said:
It's about the end result isn't it? I don't want May to go but if he does and we end up getting promoted then, well, who cares?ElliotCAFC said:He’ll be sold in my opinion. It’s never really looked like NJ has rated him.Personally he won’t have my support next season if he offloads our best player just so he can get his chums from Luton back3 -
The problem is....Nathan prefers to play with two bigger boys up top. Alfie is 30-31 years old now and if they can make a profit on him it would be seen as good business from a balance sheet perspective.
I don't agree with it but that's how I see it.0 -
Well you might if they’re going to a higher level and the player and club both benefit but I can’t see that any Championship club going after Alfie at his age so selling him to a rival league one club would be madness on a truly Charlton level.ElfsborgAddick said:

Jones has used him sparingly to try out different things/have a plan b. Chill people
how many of our many recent managers have been criticised for not having a plan b?4 - Sponsored links:

I can’t believe £250k is all we’ve got to spend on players over the summer.6

I hope Alfie isn't sold as he seems to be becoming a real fan favourite. He is also a different type of striker to the others so would be useful in squad rotation.
I was a big fan of Ladapo from his exploits at Ipswich and Rotherham,but accept that he joins Marcus Maddison ,Patruice Camara, Scott Fraser and Ben Watson in the category of players we have seen play well against us but then never delivered in an Addicks shirt. It's a shame because if at his prime he would have been a perfect fit.
I like Wickham, but am nervous about his injury record. I agree with the sentiment of inviting him back pre season and note over the last few years he has sometimes signed six month contracts. I agree ( like Aneke) he would be playing at a higher level if it wasn't for injury.1 -
Along with George Dobson, Alfie and him are the only 2 Charlton players to start 40 or more League games this season0

100%. He's a dating app 5ft9, 5ft7 at most in real life.oohaahmortimer said:

I heard Alfie was in a night club last night and said to this woman 'you're coming home with me'.
She replied 'you're a little forward'.22 -

yep all very relevant to us slumming it constantly in the third tier0 -
Leaburn and Bonne up front together next season?Swisdom said:The problem is....Nathan prefers to play with two bigger boys up top. Alfie is 30-31 years old now and if they can make a profit on him it would be seen as good business from a balance sheet perspective.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he went to be honest, Jones told him at HT yesterday he was useless and hadn’t done anything so was coming off.Heard that his missus is keen to move back Doncaster way as well.6

No, just a feeling. Brownie did add that he hoped he was wrong.North Lower Neil said:
Did he say if it was based on anything?stoneroses19 said:Brown mentioned post-match that he hopes he is wrong but has a feeling Jones will possibly move May on this summer.0 -
IF and it's a big IF, Jones decided he didn't need/want May and got shot - he'd better win promotion next season or he'll die on his arse with that decision.
for what it's worth I don't think May is going anywhere5 -
I heard via Alfies non league connections that Jones doesn't rate AM1

With how NJ and the club are talking there is no way on this earth we have only 225k more like 2.5m1
