I was pretty nonplussed by our alleged pursuit of Sam Nombe in the summer and pondered who I'd prefer between him and JCH. Well, Nombe has scored 2/22 for Rotherham, so he's not exactly set the house on fire. I think many of us want to see May partnered by a hefty forward, aka JCH in a 442 but that would mean selling CBT...who may yet decide to hang on until the summer for a free transfer. It does beg the question why a talented CF would choose to sign for us at the moment as we have already blown our season.
Probably best we move onto plan B as soon as possible (Stephen Humphrys?)
Otherwise, we will end up w/ option C,D,E or F, as we usually do. Which does not bear thinking about given some of the absolute dreck we have brought in across previous windows.
It is only one player but if that is true I feel gutted, I know a few had their worries about him but for me JCH was about as good a signing as you could want for this level, has spent years banging in goals at this level and exactly what we miss upfront in his style of play.
The entire fanbase desperatly needs a lift to keep any enthusiam for the rest of this season and looking towards next, a "marquee" signing would have done that IMO.
Hopefully it is not true as would love to see him in a Charlton shirt.
Only Charlton could sign last seasons top league one scorer, who is top scorer in league one at Christmas, a still be desperately scrabbling around trying to sign a striker in the January window.
Any other side signing May would be top 6 if not top 2.

Great as Alfie is...for want of trying, he can't do it all on his own...
A lot of a meltdown on here over one post from a randomer on another fan's forum. I'd wait to see if you hear anything from trusted outlets before reacting.
The poster on the Peterboro forum who started that rumour has posted on there three times in the last twelve months and there's no indication that they actually have any sort of contacts.

Colin's third away day to the Peterborough forum, then.

Just going to say the same-thing .. anybody puts random rumours in this site they get unfairly attacked and bullied yet they believe a random poster on another site ????
look at this in context they say they were told on Sunday so that would mean JHC would have made his mind up on Friday before he even had spoken to Charlton about personal terms , also if this had any truth to it think various sites and RC would have picked it up by now ????

Can you stop doing your own research please Callum, we don’t do that over here.
I know we're used to disappointment but it's weird how willing people are to take the word of a random post on a different club's forum as gospel, especially as there's never been any indication that there's any interest in JCH from abroad or that he'd want to go.

It's called confirmation bias.
We all do it to a lesser or greater degree.
We give more weight to the evidence that meets our existing expectations than to that which does not.
So if a poster believes that the everything is bad and will always be bad then bad news is welcomed as confirming what they already believe.
And if a poster believes that everything is positive and improving then they undermine or dismiss the negative news.
The hard bit is to do neither. To treat, as the poet said, those two imposters just the same.
Any player who is half decent will not wish to be coached MA and his tean and regress, JCH will enjoy his big pay day, and imho it will not be with us sadly!

They have really oversold what they would be able to do this Jan and fear they're going to look very silly at the end of it.

Suspect he’d know about it if JCH had turned us down.
Yes I've been really impressed with the quality of the players we've missed out on in this window.
There's been a real step change in the quality of unsigned players.

Early days, but the "consortium" are not ahead in my estimations yet.

And remember WIOTOS
Left footed CB still needs to be a priority though, as it should have been in the summer
Same account, is someone dropping a C bomb a reliable source?
