Been told potentially 3 in this week, not been given names etc, all very hush hush. Expect the 2 mentioned already to be 2 of the 3 for obvious reasons

I've actually heard 4 names in this week, if things go to plan (so not likely)

Amazingly I'm also going to name my source, had a customer at the bar last night and we were chatting football, he told me he works in the industry, I mentioned I'm a Charlton fan "for my sins" and he said funny enough he's got a couple of acquaintances that work for us, and proceeded to tell me that we're trying to recruit early and he's heard upwards of 4 names we're looking to get done
I think it’ll come down to where Leonard can picture both Charlton or Wrexham in two years time or perhaps more to the point which clubs manager can sell the product better.
He had a couple of sherbets by then so could have been a random guy talking bollocks, but there we go
Random guy talking bollocks is the meat and drink of this thread mate. Nice rumour.
Very true, we had Bobby Zamora in at the weekend, again spoke about football and upon hearing I was a Charlton fan he said "I loved playing there, I always scored against you lot" from what I can find he scored against us once
Depends on lots of things probably - like player availability for the photos etc, do we do multiple single announcements or go for a double/triple announcement, etc etc.
Lots of pretty reliable sources making the same noises leads me think we might hear something end of this week or maybe next but that's just a guess.
now dont shout at this question lol. I dont really know any of the names being mentioned as our likely targets but do people feel if we manage to sign them are they a step up ? after all most thought that Fraser & Kirk were the bollox when they came ! I just hate the thought of more false dawns
Date of first transfer announcement the last ten summers:
2015: 22nd June (Patrick Bauer) 2016: 16th June (Ricky Holmes) 2017: 8th June (Billy Clarke) 2018: 27th June (Lyle Taylor) 2019: 17th June (Macauley Bonne) 2020: 12th August (Alex Gilbey) (Covid delayed season) 2021: 28th June (Craig MacGillivray) 2022: 20th June (Eoghan O’Connell) 2023: 24th June (Harry Isted) 2024: ???
Would put my hat on our first announcement being the earliest for 10 years then.
Going back an additional five years…
2014: 24th June (Igor Vetokele) 2013: 3rd June (Mark Gower) 2012: 9th July (Lawrie Wilson & Jordan Cook) 2011: 25th May (Danny Hollands & Bradley Pritchard) 2010: 5th July (Gary Doherty)
(Not including players who didn’t appear for the first team that season eg Kurtis Cumberbatch signed in May 2014.)
