Along with the MG we have put in bids for CM who we have been liked with previously, plus a winger who is 23 years old, has been extremely highly rated, but had a couple of years dip, it is hoped we can get him going. If we can, would be an outstanding signing.
Sorry, but for us hard of thinking types, what’s the MG and CM?
Macaulay Gillesphey and I thought CM was centre midfielder.
Unless Charlie Methven is going to lace up the boots.
Let’s not be too hasty discounting Charlie boy, he might give Fraser a run for his money

This window will be very busy, the idea is to get as many bedded this season for next year. But let’s see what happens. Action speaks loud than words!
Where have we heard this before?!
Thanks for dropping on what you know Dubai. It’ll be one thing signing some ‘good’ players but if the wrong man is at the helm then it could all be pointless as we change him further down the line.

Lot of this now is down to Holden, he wanted a young small squad.. now we have a few injuries, Appleton left to pick it up.

Why is a winger with a 2 year dip in form an outstanding signing? It's a bit of a punt on the hope he can regain his previous form, surely.

Passing the buck of course. Squad building isn't down to Holden.
But sure saves Scott and Methven from any kind of criticism, which you have a habit of doing since they've taken over (and before too).

Company line already out 2nd day of the window. Fair play 😂

Because he's coming to Charlton and his pure motivation will take him and us towards.........a long term injury!

That is ABSOLUTE BOLLOCKS! We saw what Holden thought of the squad with that kamikaze team he picked versus Oxford away! Fair play to passing on information @DubaiCAFC but please do stop believing everything you are told. Otherwise we are at transfer window groundhog month again!
Actually think we’re in for a good window, it’s just too little too late
any perms who come in now must be with a view to next season, I've written this one off.
Trouble we have is that anyone we sign now won't have been chosen by our new manager (cause we'll have one by then I'm sure) and then the same circle of life will continue.

It’s true he told the new owners we did not need any new players .. when they gave him money to spend …

I hope I am wrong. But I guess we will not have made ant permanent signings by the window close. But willbe told they made a number of competitive bids but could not get them over the line in time. We may make one or two loans of crocks from other teams.

That is almost as embarrassing as Appletons excuses yesterday.
The size of the squad isn’t the problem, it’s the quality of the players that Andy Scott brought in. Even with Holden out of the picture he brought in young players that weren’t good enough

Go look at the interviews back end of last season… Holden was the one coming out saying he wanted a younger smaller squad…
Ameachi is 22 but would also fit the bill , didn't pull up too many trees at Bolton season before last because of injury. Played 6 games this season for Magdeburg in 2.Bundesliga

Ho Ho Ho! Christmas has come again! That one is wrapped in Methven's special paper. The squad size itself is alright. The problem was two windows of recruiting turd/injury prone players, including four loanees who do not play.
And let's not forget that when the summer window closed and we weren't happy with the quality of the squad, Charlie told us we couldn't sign any more players because of FFP!

All most as embarrassing as this comment… squad size is a huge issue.. 2 or 3 injuries and having to put in over hyped Acedemy players…

I’m not sure it’s a great strategy. January windows are about augmenting what you have, major surgery is better suited to the summer window.
If we were either looking at pushing for play offs or in genuine relegation danger then sure. But we're not. This season is basically over, that's not great and I hate to say it but it's a fact.
Given that, if we can get some actual quality in the door and start the process of creating an actual squad, there's no reason not to. It probably will mean that the squad for the rest of this season is neither one thing or another but if it means we don't HAVE to do such major surgery in summer, great.
Or we're being spun a line and we'll be signing the next bunch of Tedics and Watsons etc at 10:55 on the 31st again...

Ian Poveda? Worked with Appleton at Blackpool last season

Fair enough was just a shot in the dark from me using what you'd said above. Sounds like an interesting move whoever it is if it happens.

totally depressing being a Charlton fan right now
