I expect Dixon to be announced tomorrow. And I know Jones is very impressed with him in training.. wouldn’t be surprised if we see him on the bench pretty quickly, and used as an impact/game changer
Excellent news. I’m surprised but very pleased.
But then at 19 as fully fledged Jamaica international player, 8 senior caps and 2 goals inside the last 6 months, maybe he's more ready than many suppose. I mean, it's not that he's just been plucked from the obscurity of English non-league.
No doubt NJ will need to ensure his physique and fitness is ready for the intensity of the gameplan.
All true but he has been plucked from the relative obscurity of the Jamaican League. I think he’ll find even League One football considerably a higher standard. Personally I can’t wait to see him but I think a lot of people are expecting a bit too much a bit too soon.

I agree with you, Shooters, not to expect too much too soon ...... but with his busy international summer, he may be more 'oven ready' than many people believe.
Anyway, it's all in the hands of NJ and Will Abbott.
Got to be honest, I am somewhat underwhelmed so far. We have bought in 7 new players after finishing in our worst league position for 96 years last season and losing 3 of our best players in CBT, May and Dobson. To put that into perspective Bolton who narrowly missed promotion have bought in 8 players so more than us. Yes, I know we bought in 7 in January, but 3 (Ward, Bakinson, Fiorini) have gone and one (Gillesphy) just isn't that good. NJ said this summer would be a huge rebuild as he wanted the squad in a position where we would only tinker in future windows; it doesn't feel like that when we have bought in less than most other teams in L1 have. Meanwhile Small, Mitchell, Jones and Leaburn are in the final 12 months of their contracts and we are stuck with a number of players we don't want. The squad for me looks ok and workmanlike but severely lacking in real quality. I hope to be proved wrong.
CBT and Dobson not missed they are were seen as very good players within the Charlton fan base , but not by the wider football world … what we brought in is quality and not deadwood like before .. players contacts are not a concern this early in the season..
Not true.
CBT signed for Derby, the last time i looked they were a Championship team.
Phil Parkinson tried to sign Dobson last year.
He might have signed for Derby but how often does he play?
Derby fans want him sent back … the manager was planning to play him as a wing back !!!!
You discredit the Charlton supporters opinion of CBT, yet you quote the Derby fans opnion of the same player. Make your mind up!
CBT is at a Championship team.
You can repeat your dross, but i know which league i'd rather Charlton were in.
Suggestion to stop engaging a manner befitting a response to a genuine poster
Do we know that we are definitely going to get a cut of Gomez fee ...
Talking to one of the UK Directors last week it seems we will although they didn't mention, probably because they don't yet know, how much it would be.
My guesstimate is:
We've been told that we get 20% of any profit by Cawley.
We got £3.5m IIRC so the profit on a £50m deal would be £46.5m
Our 20% would be £9.3m
But wait
Gomez hasn't been sold yet
He may not go for as much as £50m (he may also go for more)
Crucially, we won't get £9.3m up front.
Large transfer fees are usually paid over the life time of a contract so Liverpool, and so us, get, AS AN EXAMPLE, 50% upfront and the remaining half spread over the remaining four years of Joe's contract. Again, an assumption that it is a five year deal.
In my example that would mean we get £4.65m now and £1.635m per year for each of the next four seasons.
So a very big boost to the coffers now to either fund transfer and wages or to fund the more important tarmacing of the west stand car park (£750k well spent you'll all agree) or to lower the owners annual losses plus a very handy guaranteed sum each year for four years.
Just an EXAMPLE, NOT FACT.
WIOTOS
I appreciate just an example but two things..
a) I think we are up to £5-6M received for JG now with add ons so assume "profit" would take that into account b) I am probably wrong but think I remember Cawley saying I'm a tweet a few years back it was "over" 20% as a clause.
Think you'll have a queue of L2 clubs to take Asiimwe. Would be great for him to go and play every week and learn his trade because the potential is definitely there.

Could well be right on both points but for me key point was a UK director saying that we will get something.
How much that is depends on too many variables right now.
Think you'll have a queue of L2 clubs to take Asiimwe. Would be great for him to go and play every week and learn his trade because the potential is definitely there.
I would expect him to do very very well in L2. Hope he goes to Bradford, Gills or MKD as all are in my pre season accumulators!

MK would be a good fit stylistically. Although they signed Aaron Nemane from Notts County in the summer.

Mmmm…..that’s interesting, I have been told something similar in as much as some of the terms in the contract we signed with Liverpool have already been settled. Now I have no idea how much this would be or for what reason they would have had to renumeratie us ….only ones I can think of is it might be the number of appearances for Liverpool and England respectively. Sorry not to be able to be more precise but it’s as much as I know.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Asiimwe pop up at a L1 rival.
What's the policy with Reading?
Think as soon as the Couhig deal completes they can sign whoever they want. Not sure on their RB options off the top of my head , I think Andy Yiadom is still there
From a development pov, the key is to get Asiimwe at the right level of club, where he will play plenty of games, but not because the club is a basketcase type of club either.

I always thought a goal was a goal no matter how it was scored.
Most likely a couple of run outs for the U23s before he gets in the first team matchday squad
