    The concern is that Apter will have other suitors and now the news of the transfer is out others may try to hijack it. 
    Cawley wasn’t concerned last night, and Pete O’Rourke reported it late last night too, so I’m not too worried.

    I think it's just if Penny is going to be in this country or if he's in Slovenia. I'd expect all the Is and Ts were dotted and crossed yesterday.

    For me if we've paid £2m or more for Apter than it would have been better spent on Galbraith, who to me looks like the real deal. 

    Maybe he just didn't want to come, but to me his credentials are far stronger than Apter's.

    Still no stand out signing for me. I worry where the goals will come from in this squad. No proven championship striker, given Godden's age.

    I'm still excited that it will be championship football this season though, but I suspect we will be witnessing more grind out results football from us. Hopefully we can finish 21st.
    If Godden gets a chance at any level I’d have confidence in him getting goals.
    This.

    I would liken this deal to the Wiggins one. We are friends with a then director of Bournemouth and were invited as guests to the Bournemouth v Charlton game. They were absolutely raving about Wiggins then and you could see why. I didn't expect us to sign him. With Apter, the times I have seen him, including against us, I have been very impressed. The sort of impressed I normally am not. If we have signed him I will be incredibly surprised in a positive way.

    Looking at some of the deals floating around in the Championship is crazy!

    Derby paying in excess of £7m on a forward from US...and Norwich sold one and potentially selling another for combined total of approx. £35m!

    I think Watford's potential signing of Nestory Irankunda for £2.5m (50% sell-on fee!) is a great signing. Absolutely rapid tricky winger!
    This is the reality of the Championship now, we are small fry compared to most other teams spending. Going to be a tough season.

    Irankunda could be absolutely mustard.  I sent a very excited email to Charlie Methven about him a couple of years ago - when he was still relatively unknown in Australia but didn’t get a response.  A couple of months later he joined Bayern.  He’s got ridiculous pace and a cannon of a foot.  £2.5m is an absolute steal considering what his potential is like.

    Hopefully Apter turns out to be the real deal but you never know if mentally young players can handle the step up. Charlie Kirk was touted as a real talent & flopped so it’s a lot of money to pay for a gamble. This could either be an inspired signing or another flop but I guess they must be confident & see him as worth the gamble. 
    Keeping my fingers crossed that he becomes a Charlton success story ! 
    Charlie Kirk was an extraordinarily low tempo , flimsy footballer .  Apter looks the opposite  . Good mantra though - you never know how any player will work out .  Biggest positive so far is we haven’t signed anyone from Ipswich 
    Darren Bent and Matt Holland came from Ipswich.

    We’re effectively building a squad in one go which is tremendously difficult to do. More established sides will be adding quality to their squads every summer so to say we’re playing catch up is an understatement. We have just a few weeks to gel and we simply must hit the ground running. Having a bad start means we’ll have even more of a mountain to climb. Fortunately I think Jones is savvy enough to know what’s required and I suspect we’ll grow into the season as he discovers his best team and his system is understood by the players we’ve brought in. Our Valley form will be crucial.

    100% I remember watching him in Oz when he was very raw but you could see the potential. I guess he's not kicked on otherwise why would Bayern let him go, but I think with his pace he'll cause some trouble in the Championship. I'm sure wages play a part but if we are considering £2m+ for L1 Apter and Irankunda could turn out one of the signings of the season! I'll put money on him joining lower end PL team for £10m+ in a year or so.

    Lets hope he doesn't hit the ground running on the opening day of the season!

    Maybe the announcement video can be him cycling into training with The Automatic's Monster playing in the background, and the lyrics changed to "What's that coming over the hill, is it Rob Apter, is it Rob Apter?"

    Another Barnsley content creator who is adamant we can't sign Keillor-Dunn 😂

    Is it a unique thing to Barnsley where they tell their content creators how much a player is worth and the conditions that have to be met to sign him

    It’s highly likely he will join them there, this week is literally the most important of a preseason. If he’s signed he will be heading to slovina

    'Nestor' Irankunda definitely looked a talent in March last year when I thought he scored a hat trick for Adelaide united when I was watching A-League football. 
    He will need to sort out his short fuse which has seen him get yellow and red cards since he made his debut at the young age of 15.

    If this is a transfer and not a loan I wonder why Bayern are letting him go at 19 especially since the fractured Fibula and dislocated ankle injury to Jamal Musiala against PSG in the recent world crap championship which will keep him out for a long time.

    So he is not moving due to having a young kid and living near the family…….. however if we pay £5m all that goes away 😂
    Hope he realises the situation around schools down this way though...

    I think it's more to do with the fact it's Bayern Munich and a 19 year old talent from the Australian league will not be a direct replacement yet for someone like musiala.

    There'll no signings announced until they return from Slovenia...

    Doesn't mean they haven't been done, just they won't be announced until the comms team are back.

    Sounds like he's got some fairly major attitude problems to address from what I've seen mentioned, undoubtedly a talent but it's if he can sort the rest of it.

    I’ll be very surprised if Apter isn’t announced today/tomorrow and isn’t out there already.
