If we look at the current squad, my take on who is good enough is as follows:
Mannion - No.
Maynard Brewer - No.
Ramsey - Yes
Asiimwe - No.
Edwards - Yes
Jones - Yes
A Mitchell - Unsure
Z Mitchell - Unsure
Gillesphey - Yes
Small - Yes
Campbell - Yes
Coventry - Yes
Anderson - Not quite
Berry - Yes
Docherty - Unsure
Taylor - Not quite
Ahadme - Hell No.
Leaburn - If he can get and stay fit
Dixon - not quite.
Godden - YES
Hylton - No.
Kanu - Not quite (but Karlan shone at this level after looking well out of place in his first few seasons)
Obviously we have loanees and retirees and other out of contract players, but none of the rest really felt worth a mention.

Can see him in the squad.10 -
I’d be unsure on Gillesphey purely because he wasn’t good enough for Plymouth who weren’t exactly a good championship side. Also be cautious on Godden and Berry purely due to their age. If we do go up we’re definitely going to need to make 5/6 big signingsDazzler21 said:If we look at the current squad, my take on who is good enough is as follows:

At this point Wiredu gets mentioned so regularly I don't think I even count him anymoreAthletico Charlton said:Garrymanilow said:So that's Dijksteel, Ajayi and Shelvey so far on the former players who get suggested for the transfer window, unless I've missed some. I'm glad we're diversifying a bit, I was getting tired of seeing Fosu getting suggested at the start of every single rumours thread
The very first post on this thread was about Brendan Wierdu and I am fairly sure I have mentioned Dillon Phillips is out of contract already!

Gillesphey, Docherty and Berry should be squad players if we go up, for that very reason.Crispywood said:

Those two midfield positions would need to be a priority, along with a keeper.0 -
Probably not gonna happen, but I'd love Ajayi
Be a great player to have if we were to go up for his experience alone.

i think back 3 and wing backs are fine to start off with although we should add at least one more potential starter as question mark over gillesphey in championship? - midfield will need 2 new starters to go with coventry and we'll need at least one more first choice striker to rotate with tc and godden with Leaburn as back up. Probably need a goalkeeper overhaul as well. Players like berry, docherty and mitchell will be fine as squad players. This assumes small stays of course.2

Crawley fan I know said he's a good player when he's not suspended, loves a yellow card.fenaddick said:FLW link us to Bradley Ibrahim, midfielder at Hertha Berlin who was on loan at Crawley. Usual caveats about FLW etc but it is a rumour
https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/exclusive-charlton-plymouth-bolton-and-peterborough-in-transfer-hunt-for-hertha-berlin-bradley-ibrahim/
Scored their goal of the season against Wrexham - https://www.skysports.com/football/video/34019/13301310/what-a-strike-bradley-ibrahim-scores-stunning-equaliser-for-crawley
Good all round player but more of a tackler than creative.
He would love him back but too good for L2.
I take from that at the very least he's someone we'd look at. Being only 20 he's someone we could develop, and coming back to England permanently might appeal (he was on loan at Hertha Berlin and was in QPR then Arsenal's academy).0 -
Friend bought a big house for around £300k.shine166 said:
You'd be surprised just how much house you can get for relatively little money in Norwich !Lincsaddick said:
yeah ol Bryan is a bit of a Norwich legend, I suspect he's staying put and just helping Angus clear and sell/rent his houseshine166 said:
Yeah Bryan is his dad, curtains were fine.. friends seemed to like them as they made 3 trips while we were there and ended up with 9 pairs 😆.Lincsaddick said:
Thanks for the info, I suspected that he had a move lined up before letting his Norwich options run out .. but Bryan is his dad ? .. were they very nice curtains ?shine166 said:Lincsaddick said:Another wish, NOT rumour .. Angus Gunn, Norwich & Scotland goalkeeper, leaving Narge on contract expiry .. would solve our keeper problem (on high wages, BUT i m o would be well worth a big salary)
He's left and moved back up north. We were visiting friends 2 weeks ago in Norwich and randomly they were popping to a neighbours house to buy curtains as the fella was moving.... Bryan Gunn opened the door and finalised the deal lol
Either that or they just wanted to see Bryan again.
9 pairs !! .. must be a big house your friends have lol0 - Sponsored links:

Our player of the season (Jones), top scorer (Godden) and top assists (Berry) are all well over 25, whilst the players we spent the most on in the summer, Mitchell and Adahme, both under 25, have stuck the place upGisappointed said:I'd be disappointed if we sign anyone over 25. Time to gamble, unless owners have big investment plans.0 -
Are we still linked with the lively Burton midfielder? Webster was it?0

I wouldnt mind one of Mannion or AMB staying as back ups, Asimwe, Dixon, Kanu need loans, Zach I would keep in the squad now Anderson only for late sub apperancesRedrobo said:

Assuming we go up:-
Mannion - back up
Maynard Brewer - No.
Ramsey - Yes
Asiimwe - back up
Edwards - Yes (LWB or LCB?)
Jones - Yes
A Mitchell - no
Z Mitchell - back up but time off bench, anywhere at the back or midfield
Gillesphey - back up
Small - Yes
Campbell - back up but minutes
Coventry - Yes
Anderson - back up but coming off bench often
Berry - no
Docherty - no
Taylor - perhaps back up
Ahadme - No.
Leaburn - back up unless he pushes on
Dixon - back up but minutes
Godden - back up
Hylton - No
Kanu - loan
Enslin - loan
Mbick - short loan
Casey - loan
Quality needed in middle and upfront. Different type of football in tier two.3 -
Would argue A.Mitchell would actually suit championship football more than L1. Less time more time on the ball more time defending the box probably plays to his advantagesGisappointed said:Assuming we go up:-

Jones - Yes, and given armband
A Mitchell - backup or loaned out if we can get a better backup option

Small - Yes
Campbell - Yes
Coventry - Yes
Anderson - squad player
Berry - Unsure
Docherty - Unsure
Taylor - Will leave I assume
Ahadme - Will leave I assume
Leaburn - Yes he if signs a new contract, or sell
Dixon - backup if he can bulk up
Godden - Yes
Hylton - Retired
Kanu - loaned out to a L1 side1 -
The right road taken
Two roads diverged after a long season
one with kudos the other denigration
Promotion would give a new found reason
to support the team at this joyous completion
and arrive at Charlton life's Championship Station.

Dijksteel has been mentioned and dismissed but I think he would be a good signing.
Only 28 and bags of Championship experience. Now released by Middlesbrough who are always near the top of the league. Played over 30 games this season and fit.
Not sure there is better available on a free and would leave more in the kitty for another positions.

Good shout but until we know by Sunday afternoon whether Championship or League 1, it could be Dijksteel if the former and Grimmer if it's the latter 🤷🏻♂️
Orgasmic celebrations or usual suspects venting their spleen if Bradford is our first game and not Leicester.
This is the stark reality of this match.

Depends if your talking league one or championship
Mannion - Yes both
Maynard Brewer - No.
Ramsey - Yes
Asiimwe - No.
Edwards - Yes
Jones - Yes
A Mitchell - Yes and back up for Champ
Z Mitchell - Yes league one no champ
Gillesphey - Yes
Small - Yes fir league one 50/50 champ his final ball not good enough
Campbell - Yes league one on past 6 weeks performances only back up for Champ
Coventry - Yes
Anderson - Send out on loan not good enough
Berry - Yes
Docherty - Yes
Taylor - released
Ahadme - Yes league one at this point no champ
Leaburn - Yes league one no champ
Dixon - yes league one no champ loanneeded
Godden - YES
Hylton - coach
Kanu - No and No needs a loan

What would we do with Dijksteel though? We don't play with an out and out right back and he's no flying RWB/winger like Small. You might slot him in on the right of the defence but a right-sided centre back converted from a right back isn't really on the shopping list considering we have Ramsay for that already. He hasn't really played as a central midfielder in senior football so we'd be looking at bringing in a player who was on his second contract at a fairly wealthy Championship side - so expensive salary - who doesn't really fit in with how we play. He's a good player but I don't know that he fits for us3

Jones has already stated that the first choices don't change regardless of league. Though the odds of success will of course be affected.soapboxsam said:Good shout but until we know by Sunday afternoon whether Championship or League 1, it could be Dijksteel if the former and Grimmer if it's the latter 🤷🏻♂️

Yep that was my thinking too. Only makes sense if Ramsay goes and his salary expectations fit our budget.Garrymanilow said:What would we do with Dijksteel though?

I can also see Zach Mitchell covering Ramsay and Jones, so as long as they all stay we might not bring in a right footed CB.1 -
The Small replacement will be the most interesting thing. He plays like a winger a lot of the time but the benefit he brings is more defensive solidity than a winger converted to a WB1
-
Have no guarantee Ramsay will stay considering he’s far too good for us if he was to leave Dijksteel is pretty much the best like for like replacement we can get. Alternatively Jones may want to slightly alter the system to go to a traditional back 5 if we do go up as we’re going to be playing much better teams than us he may be a bit more defensive minded and can play both togetherGarrymanilow said:What would we do with Dijksteel though?

With the (re) appointment of Chapple and Jones’s very specific requirements I imagine we will see quite a lot of very good players going elsewhere that we seem to have either missed out on or passed up, not due to quality but because we are being very specific in who/what we are looking for.1

Even if Small stays and that will only happen if we are a Championship side, if Saints, Ipswich and Leicester are suddenly resurgent especially when CAFC are away then the traditional RB will be used more than the attacking skills of a Thierry.
Personally, Small would always be my 1st choice wide man but it will be horses for course if and when we become a championship side. At home I would try to use the width where possible in an advance position which changed our season along with the 25 sheets which ensued.
My example was more about the quality of player coming to CAFC though I wouldn't expect that many.
Grimmer did an excellent job on TC as well as Grim's helper when TC was double marked and man handled. Dijksteel is a higher quality player than him or Watson.
Pay scales dependant as always on who comes and who goes.
At the Lincoln game when TC was missing Small was treble marked ! and still got his shot off; can't remember if it was the near miss or the shot that emulated Albie Morgan's hitting the Jimmy Seed lettering !
There will be two lists that will kick in on Monday Morning if not before.

Historically he has been a solid championship level player. That being said, he had a really poor second half of this past season. Is that just a temporary poor stretch of form or is there a concern that it will continueRedrobo said:Dijksteel has been mentioned and dismissed but I think he would be a good signing.
