If Alfie May goes and we’re not winning our first home game by 4 or more goals at HT, then I think we should chuck 3000 Alfie May beach balls on the pitch in the second half.
An Alfie May beach ball is an almost exact replica of the real thing, only a bit bigger.
They're ready to go. I'll put in the order as soon as he's sold!
Let’s face it, the squad hasn’t been good enough for last 3 seasons, and they included fan favourites, like it or not, they are haven’t been good enough for promotion, that is either ability or mentality or both! My comments not everyone will agree, but that is a fact. Personally I am excited by that changes behind the scenes, the attitude of jones, and the fact the clubs attitude is no one is bigger than the club.
negative people will always find holes they are not happy with.. this will be a good season, and will be a busy couple of weeks!
We all HOPE next season will be a good season but none of us know.
Im a big fan of NJ and think in him we potentially have a very good fit for our club. I'm cautiously optimistic about next season, with or without May.
But that doesn't mean your two statements aren't contradictory, because clearly they are.
Either players CAN be improved and their performance and that of the team improved or they are to be judged only on the teams finishing position.
No amount of positivity from fans changes that.
Positivity does have a huge impact on the way the team plays.. yes they need to give the crowd a lift, but negative atmosphere certainly impacts performance and players!
Don’t see how they are contradictory, facts are, the players haven’t been good enough, so doesn’t both me if they go, and the ones that stay, need to do better!
Season not even started and already telling those who go on how they should support
That’s the attitude.. go to games, sit on your hands and moan all afternoon!!
If we do sell May it will be a copy of what happened when that idiot Duchatelet came in and sold Yann. The new management then said - well how good can he be ? - the team is nearly bottom of the Championship and we can get better replacements in - eg Polish Pete, Vetokele, Tucadean. None of them proved to be anywhere near Yann’s level and those of us who had watched all his games knew that. It’s one of those ideas where there is always something or someone better around the corner. May is a proven goal scorer ( twice over !) at League 1 level. Charlton would be stupid to sell him.
Except that one wasn’t sanctioned by the manager. And also this ‘new management’ were the ones that brought him in.
No one knows if he’ll go and no one knows how it will pan out, but with all his goals last season, we came 16th and finished in our worst ever league position. We must improve the squad and if selling May is the only way we can do that then so be it. I’ll be gutted to lose him, but Jones knows what he wants and I have far more faith in him then anyone else who have been running this club for the past 8-10 years.
Why is selling him the only way we can improve the squad?! Thought we were "really backing" the manager in the window and our owners are (multiple) billionaires.
I don't think selling him improves our squad. He wasn't the reason we finished 16th but we must certainly would have finished below that position without him!
How about waiting and see where we are at once the window has closed and see if we are in a stronger position.. if you ask my opinion, we will see a different Charlton this year, and the players left from last season, will be sharper, fitter and stronger
Just a reminder Dubai that you were happy with our transfer business when the window closed last summer.
When I brought that up later in the season, you said "Why wouldn't I have been happy, we signed the league's best goalscorer."
I've no doubt the team needs to function as a unit and Jones needs to buy the ingredients if we want him to make the dinner, but whether we're going to be successful or not, Alfie May is a great player and character and many people will be gutted to see him go.
Yes, and on paper lot of signings looked good. But you can say that about a lot of our signings over the last few seasons, which have proved to be tough to get off our books!
I think every single Charlton fan will be gutted to see May go, but as I have said Jones can’t guarantee he will be the first name on the sheet, May doesn’t like it, a club is willing to offer decent money, for a player that isn’t getting any younger, and if we get promoted next year, he would likely be surpluses to requirements.
The two forwards the looking to bring have been mentioned on here, they are at a good age, and will improve under Jones, if we get them both, they will cost us more than May’s fee.

A huge ‘if’ that. Surely if we’re really serious about going up we’d rather keep him, even as an option. If he does go and we don’t go up whatever happens it’ll be a huge error by NJ/Scott.
We’ve rarely had a striker like AM in modern times so to lose him so tamely seems a real kick in the balls.

You keep going on about contradicting myself, please point that out?
One thing you are right on, it is June, let’s wait until the window ends and see what position we are in.. but one thing that doesn’t help is the constant negativity from certain group of our fans, and I include you in that, yes you and others have and do a lot of the club, and thank you for that, but if it isn’t the old foe owning the club, you won’t be happy..
yes this will rattle a few cages, but this is an open forum for people to have an opinion..
Also I a lot of people having a pop at me on here, when I have an opinion, soon as I give it back, I am the one in the wrong..
It bothers me that our best 3 players have left /look set to leave
We should be keeping them and building on it.
Fair enough replacing not good enough goalkeepers, central defenders and injury prone players or players simply not good enough.
May apparently has Huddersfield and other suitors...according to whatsapp messages shared earlier.
We should be keeping him. And adding. Not getting rid of him, having to replace him AND add to that also.
That is all. Whoever Alfie joins, I'm happy to have a charity Upbeats bet ends up above Charlton this season and that Alfie scores more than our top goalscorer. This potential sale makes no sense.
If as @DubaiCAFC says we don't need the money, then why are we doing it....?!
We’re paying fees for Edwards and Mitchell.. and I know two other players we are paying fees for.. When was the last time most of our transfer were involving fees, must been early RD days?
Alfie might do that, but all I care about is promotion!
Jones has said, May won’t be a starter week in week out, and May said okay I’ll explore my options.. if we don’t get the right deal for Charlton he will stay.. nothing to do, with selling him to raise funds!
But it looks like we are selling him to raise funds and yes we may be signing players for fees, but they are paid for by the sale of CBT & most likely May, so as yet not a net spend. I'm on the fence as to whether May should be sold. If it's true that Jones won't start him as he wants to play a big striker then May won't be scoring much. If it's true that Hudds have offered £1.2M then that is an excellent price. If we spend the fee on buying half a team then perhaps it's a good idea as May understandably wants to start games.
If we do sell May it will be a copy of what happened when that idiot Duchatelet came in and sold Yann. The new management then said - well how good can he be ? - the team is nearly bottom of the Championship and we can get better replacements in - eg Polish Pete, Vetokele, Tucadean.

The first line says it all.
It maybe a CL in-house joke but the sentence "I'll wait to see them play in a red shirt before commenting" has never been truer.
We know what Alfie May can do. Any new signing may be mustard but then again....may not be.

I'd rather stick than twist.
I totally agree with you, but Jones is in charge this window, and has been planning since February, he is a vision of what he wants the side to do, and what type of player is required to do that, so we have to trust his process
I think it’s true that having gone to the expense and I suspect it was t cheap to get Nathan Jones in and give him the responsibility of player recruitment and all things first team, it makes perfect sense to let him get on with it. He’s without doubt a man with a plan and for once it looks like we have a board willing to give him both the authority and means. I really think it’s barmy to let May go but if the money is right and it’s what NJ thinks is for the best then I think we need to support that. We can’t have it both ways. Manager calling all the shots and not supporting him when he does.
There's a separate Alfie May thread ..why don't you all take your Alfie squabbles there ffs.
There's a rumour he may be sold, don't believe this myself, but it's a rumour none the less, agree it is getting very repetitive in it's content, but that's the nature of the beast...🤷♂️

Peterborough had a 20-30 goal striker at their club and barely started him last season.
They scored more goals as a team (89) last season than they did in either of the two previous seasons at this level where they relied on him for over 36% of their goals (31 of 83 & 26 of 75).
Football is a simple game in most ways but that doesn’t mean it’s as simple as taking out one player’s goal contributions and you can predict how a team will perform without them.
BEFORE ANYONE JUMPS ON THIS TO SAY I’M BLAMING ALFIE FOR THE TEAM UNDERPERFORMING : I really am not, I’m trying to show that there is life in a football team with or without your previously profilic forward.
What we need are goals spread out amongst the entire team a lot more - Ridiculous how our second top scorer didn't get into double figures last season, if my memory serves me right.
This.
In the avoidance of doubt I'm not saying that Alfie is the one & only striker/forward and without him we'd be sunk. The problem is last season once CBT left it was really only Alfie that was scoring. Just look at our goal scoring chart. Until we sign 3 or 4 players that can score 6-8 goals each then we are still stuck where we were. We also have to sort out our set plays and/or bring in a dead ball specialist. Hardly any goals from corners (2?) and when was it we last scored direct from a free kick ?
I am/was hoping this would be the main area we'd be concentrating on this summer. Midfielders who can score (like Bowyer) and players who can score from free kicks. Without addressing those we wont be going anywhere next season.
In the avoidance of doubt, I suggest that the plan will undoubtedly be to sign 3, 4, hopefully more players that score 6-8 goals each. I'm very confident the plan isn't to sell May for £1.2M and then not bring anyone in. Also if we move on the small players we will likely be better at set pieces.

Brilliant post. Spot on
It’s always better to have 3 players scoring 10 goals than 1 man scoring 30 … if you rely on one man injury, suspension can ruin your season
Can't believe I am about to agree with RM.
Often when a team has a player who scores a large portion of their goals they end up becoming predictable and easier to defend against, we saw it for periods of last season where May was marked out of the game and we suddenly had no threat at all.
I agree too. During games where Alfie was marked tightly we had no goal threat.
Let’s face it, the squad hasn’t been good enough for last 3 seasons, and they included fan favourites, like it or not, they are haven’t been good enough for promotion, that is either ability or mentality or both! My comments not everyone will agree, but that is a fact.

Pass on the gossip by all means but you present it as fact when it more than often comes with a huge amount of spin.
And I have already pointed out where you have contradicted yourself in the last 24 hours.
And again, what you said was wrong so you were "in the wrong" which is why you apologised for it (I hadn't seen that when I posted)

I think every single Charlton fan will be gutted to see May go, but as I have said Jones can’t guarantee he will be the first name on the sheet, May doesn’t like it, a club is willing to offer decent money, for a player that isn’t getting any younger, and if we get promoted next year, he would likely be surpluses to requirements.
You really need to apologise for that.
You constantly repeat the party line that is feed to you, regardless of whether it contradicts what you said before, and when challenged slag off other fans and moan about pessimism hurting players. At games I'd agree but not on here in June!!
A huge ‘if’ that. Surely if we’re really serious about going up we’d rather keep him, even as an option. If he does go and we don’t go up whatever happens it’ll be a huge error by NJ/Scott.
You keep going on about contradicting myself, please point that out?
yes this will rattle a few cages, but this is an open forum for people to have an opinion..
Also I a lot of people having a pop at me on here, when I have an opinion, soon as I give it back, I am
the one in the wrong..
I'm on the fence as to whether May should be sold.
If it's true that Jones won't start him as he wants to play a big striker then May won't be scoring much.
If it's true that Hudds have offered £1.2M then that is an excellent price.
If we spend the fee on buying half a team then perhaps it's a good idea as May understandably wants to start games.
It maybe a CL in-house joke but the sentence "I'll wait to see them play in a red shirt before commenting" has never been truer.
We know what Alfie May can do. Any new signing may be mustard but then again....may not be.
I'd rather stick than twist.
I'm very confident the plan isn't to sell May for £1.2M and then not bring anyone in.
Also if we move on the small players we will likely be better at set pieces.
I'm not against anything you post, but what on earth ....
Players with less consistent goal scoring records than him have jumped up.
Man has that natural instinct, if he gets service he can finish.
And anyway, we're in league one for another season, who better to get us goals than a player that's hit 3 seasons worth of double goal figures.

It's May potentially being sold on top of throwing away Dobson in January.
Two best players being sold/let go based on a bunch of ifs and maybes.
