He'll probably go to Bolton and be excellent. Would rather keep him and send Allan Campbell back to Luton.
Jones doesn’t see them as playing the same position. Taylor can’t get in ahead of Coventry, he’s not competing for a spot in the squad with Allan Campbell.

Why not? Campbell is a defensive midfielder, four inches shorter in a vertically challenged midfield, and doesn't have the dead ball delivery of TT. Unlike Terry he has not had a single decent game. How the Luton wastrel is ahead of him is bizarre and he's not even our player.
So here on this thread we are completely devoid of any new rumours about ins and outs at Charlton. And purely by coincidence, so is Mr Pete O'Rourke.
You seem obsessed with this bloke and he ain’t even that bad.
Yeah I know. Just frustrated with the thread I guess.
But did you believe we’d be in for Clucas?
No I didn’t. Sounds like agent talk to me.
However, I still take note of what O’Rourke says, simply because he’s track record with us is pretty good, and he probably kept contacts from his time at Sky.
That's fair enough, I haven't really noticed him before now, and sure he must have good contacts, and uses them. But that FLW thing looks like it is relying entirely on clicks to earn money, and -leaving him personally out of it - it means posting stuff up all the time, and if there isn't enough good stuff, it'll have to be dodgy stuff.

I don't think Pete O'Rourke writes articles for FLW? His stories have always been on Twitter/X and Football Insider.
And the bulk of that £1.2M (though hopefully not quite all of it) went on signing and paying Ahadme.
It was clearly stated at start of season that the minimum aim was play offs so I don’t think “top ten” is much of an improvement.
Fans showed a lot of commitment in buying STs this season. Going to be a lot needed to convince most to renew. A good window and positive second half of season will be vital to that - especially if we’re facing yet another (sixth in a row?) season in L1.
Pretty sure it's been put on a thread recently that we didn't pay the bulk of the Ahadme fee up front it was around £325k or so with the rest in add-ons and a promotion bonus? though stand to be corrected.
Yeah it was but not sure the maths adds up there. Otherwise there should be a lot of the May money still sat in the bank.
Doesnt it?
We brought in 5 players on transfer fees in the summer, lets be generous with some of those figures:
Ahadme 300K Godden 200K Mitchell 200k Edwards 85K (a reported figure from Scotland) Dixon 50K
Thats 835K before adding in Docherty and Mannion's signing on fees as well as any potential loan fee for Campbell.*
And seeing as theres a desperation for Ahadme to have actually cost us 800K up front then theres even less left, like, none.
And if Godden and Mitchell cost us 100K each then at most theres 500K left from the May money, but thats being generous and not including wages.
* And of course the unforgettable Potts and Hylton (I believe an itk was on here saying the delay around Potts coming in was because he had some high wage expectations)
If we spent 200k on a 33-year-old striker in Godden, that's worse than any deal for Ahadme. I'm also doubtful we paid that much for Mitchell, he wasn't signing a new contract at Millwall.
Isn't the desperation for Gassan to cost LESS because of how poor he's been? I don't reckon we spent 800k on him, my guess would be closer to 500 upfront. The idea we didn't pay a decent upfront fee is doubtful, in my view. If he'd been good then there wouldn't even be a discussion about him not costing much.
I might be wrong but think I recall when we signed him, there was a post by someone who spends time at the training ground about how excited the club were to get him.
Getting into what % of the transfer budget was shifted into wages is really wading into the woods. Who's to comment either way.
The club might have been, why I can't imagine. I've posted this numerous times sorry but even when we were just linked with him I said there was no way he was good enough. Just another waste of money.

So here on this thread we are completely devoid of any new rumours about ins and outs at Charlton. And purely by coincidence, so is Mr Pete O'Rourke.
Love the idea you have the Pete O'Rourke spends his days on the rumours threads of forums for all 92 EFL & PL clubs so that he can tweet out the stuff he read
Rumour has it he has 92 AI bots doing the work for him.
Millwall wanted Mitchell to sign a new contract but he flatly refused because Millwall hadn’t even bothered to check on him whilst at Lincoln. They went back to offer again and he said “as I said before I will not be signing a new contract. I want to leave”
I think his contract was up for renewal last summer so, if we have paid something, it was compensation as opposed to a transfer fee
And the bulk of that £1.2M (though hopefully not quite all of it) went on signing and paying Ahadme.

Yeah but Ahadme is absolute crap, Godden is meh. It’s like the Sandgaard era never ended.
Ahadme was at least 600,000 first instalment as 50% of a deal has to be paid the other 50% over the next two years .. Godden was 450,000 , Mitchell was 350,000 that come from Millwall
For a player out of contract ? Even methven isn't that dim
He'll probably go to Bolton and be excellent. Would rather keep him and send Allan Campbell back to Luton.

Uhhh I said exactly why in my post. It’s not my opinion, it’s the manager’s.

I think he had 1 more year left on his Millwall contract.
Well, it was disclosed to our old mate Ronnie...🤷♂️
I think his contract was up for renewal last summer so, if we have paid something, it was compensation as opposed to a transfer fee
My Bristol City mate says he's a good player and would be a great signing for us.
He normally get's it right with Bristol City and Chelsea players.
Get in there Nathan!
