There was a rumour of a rumour a couple of pages back, mind you it could just be a rumour with no substance or truth in it, and just another rumour...maybe...🙄soapy_jones said:Any rumours of rumours?0 -
Think you’ll find it’s closer to 2.5-3 years mateBraziliance said:
So just like I said then, me and maybe one other person which you've now remembered is Golfie. Two posters in me and Golfie who have a stern view that we need to spend money. All there is to it.sam3110 said:
You and Golfie used to bang on about it, even when we signed a couple of players he'd be like "yeah but Carlisle signed x many" as if that was some kind of yardstick we should use to measure againstBraziliance said:I genuinely think I was the only person who credited Carlisle on their transfer activity? So that's fast become a bit of a Charlton Life myth that 'people' said when it couldn't have been more than myself a couple of others?
I don't think anyone was jealous that Luke Armstrong went to Carlisle. I don't think anyone actually wanted the players Carlisle were signing here.
From my point of view, it was more so that Carlisle were bang in trouble, and instead of just letting it happen, their owners at least tried to correct it and signed a couple of decent players in Armstrong and Harry Lewis. I'd watched Harry Lewis in person so knew he was a decent keeper and an upgrade.
They went down, and they're struggling now. The point is being missed entirely though. They spent money to at least try, and have ready made players for league2. It hasn't worked, and they're looking likely for a double relegation, which might suggest their troubles are deeper now than a few decent signings?
Either way, it's fast becoming a Charlton myth and a complete exaggeration.
I never wanted us to compete with Carlisles signings, but we were both in a relegation fight, and reinforcements would have aided us, that was my point. Not the money they spent, or the quality of player, but that they were trying to increase their odds.
We are now in an opposite position where we have a squad that's a couple of injuries away to key players disrupting our season. We also have some players who look very tired 60 minutes onwards last game. A few signings, when money can be spent, despite the myths, would seriously help us. If they don't, we will have had to have made some additions in the summer anyway.
No matter what I say though, this time next year, the same old posts will be made. It would just be nice to not see the included Carlisle posts be a recurring theme along with the usual nonsense as it's a complete fabrication and based upon 2 users posting, not a decent % of people saying it.
Apologies to the people who check the thread for actual rumours and seen my clutter.
Petty, petty fucking forum. Especially the last 2-3 years.40 -
There’s one about Jellis and Kanu, isn’t that enough?soapy_jones said:Any rumours of rumours?2 -
Friend of mine just bumped into Tracey Leaburn as she was coming out of a fancy dress shop. Apparently she was holding three sets of musketeer costumes. One for each of our new signings being unveiled this evening. She says they wanted to do something special for the photoshoot.
Based on the sizes of the costumes my mate reckons the three signings will be Owen Moxon, Harry Cornick and Jamie Jellis.16 -
The Eddie Yates rumour is rubbish.
*some may get this, others may not*5 -
Tom Barkhuizen out of contract at Derby in the summer. I wonder if he could be a possibility ?

I did get told about the championship midfield perm and the loan last Saturday from somebody connected (not inner sanctum) to the club so if that turns out to be the case, i've had a great window (joking!!) - no names of course like sometimes back in the 'glory days' but a decent comeback window. I'm sure i read somewhere that we were waiting on the club we are getting a player from to complete their deal for his replacement. Not sure whether that is the perm or the loan. All the above could turn out to be bollox but this is what i'm going on at the moment and the Gilbert chap from Boro possibly fits the bill as the CAM in this 'farago of obscurities' - I also bumped into a club director at a petrol station in Eltham (not one that will be directly related to the playing / recruitment side) some weeks back and he agreed we needed width when i said can we please sign some wingers / pace. Hope this helps in some small way to clarify anything i have to go on - now hopefully we can get back to watching an argument unfold.Scoham said:

I don’t see us loaning out Kanu without replacing him with a pace striker/winger, so that could fit in with what you’ve heard.DOUCHER said:

Just in time for the new 3rd kit launchElliotCAFC said:Sam Smith going to Wrexham for £2m should put a stop to the ridiculous shouts that Leaburn is worth the same or less.

I’ll be pretty miffed if we don’t strengthen this window. We are practically in a play off position and need to take advantage of the position we find ourselves in. You should strengthen when in a position of strength. If we don’t do so now there is no guarantee we’ll be in such a position next season. I’m not asking the owners to spend millions but they need to speculate to accumulate as it were.10

If Kanu is going out on loan I'd want a striker to go with our 2 potential midfield signings. Too much reliance there on Aneke,Ahadme and Leaburn all staying fit.0

Wrexham signed Jay Rodriguez0

don't we have a couple of young strikers who play for the same team Kanu came from?MarcusH26 said:If Kanu is going out on loan I'd want a striker to go with our 2 potential midfield signings. Too much reliance there on Aneke,Ahadme and Leaburn all staying fit.0 -

Think Mbick is still injured , Casey is working his way back from injury and Dixon I'm not convinced is ready.lancashire lad said:

Rodriguez is 36 in the summer and he's not exactly been prolific for a while. That's a big wage for a non goalscoring forward.

Yep if we loan out Kanu it should only be because we’ve replaced with better. Those three don’t offer that.MarcusH26 said:

Maybe, maybe not. They have an old attack tbf. Fletcher is 38 in March and Mullin has been poor this season there's no guarantees.J BLOCK said:

Nothings guaranteed in football. But someone with Rodriguez’s pedigree has got a good chance of being the difference maker.Scoham said:0 -

Wrexham do love signing aging forwards don’t they?
Always had a soft spot for Jay Rodriguez since I saw him score live at the toolbox one time and give it to the home crowd afterward.1 -
The only thing is we have, for once, been really lucky with regards to fitness in that area. We haven't really been without Coventry, Anderson, Berry or Docherty for any period of time. If one of them gets hurt badly tomorrow we'll need someone to replace a lot more minutes than that. Fingers crossed it won't be needed thoughCallumcafc said:Allan Campbell got about 550 minutes. Terry Taylor about 500. Potts got 75. Hylton got 44. Edun and Asiimwe got 0 between them.
We need one midfielder to “replace” the minutes and ideally exceed the performance of Campbell and Taylor, hopefully by being a bit more attack minded on the ball than those two.
Otherwise I don’t expect there’ll be much else done.
