Could def do with that target man option2 -

We've lost Chuks, and a year ago NJ clearly signed Ahadme to play the target man role, so there's a definite vacancy in that position.8 -

Mbick’s still very raw and making an impact in the Championship this season should be a bonus rather than an expectation.
That leaves Leaburn who needs to prove he can get and stay fit, and improve his consistency - he’s shown he can hold up the ball well, but he’s not yet done it over a full season.
If we sign a target man I’d understand why.8 -

Knibbs can play up front, but is another running and pressing type player, rather than a target man0 -
Harvey Knibbs is someone again who drastically improves us, I just can't see us signing him unfortunately.
The very definition of a utility player, walks into our starting XI.
The frustrating thing is, if we were a better run club sooner, we could have picked him and Sam Smith up for free when it was obvious they were quality players. Reading got such a bargain picking them up on a free, and Lewis Wing, phenomenal business.5 -
Had a quick read through the last 4 pages or so and no one seems to have identified our need for a target man type.

Height is absolutely crucial in the Championship.There’s a reason that club legends like Simon Makienok were so successful with us.19

Knibbs is 6ft 10
-
Has anyone thought that a target man might be quite useful this season?1

Wouldn’t surprise me if a target man type isn’t brought in on loan - from last season hylton and aneke have gone from the squad but a quality signing on a 3 /4 year deal would probably block the likes of leaburn and mbick0

ThomasOliver3 said:Some Charlton related transfer bits I've seen over the weekend.
- Apparently Everton have nabbed one our 16YO's - Reuben Gokah, not one I've heard but confirmed on The Athletic
- Matt Penney has signed for Aldershot Town, being a season ticket holder, I'll report back on his progress, they seem very excited
- Saw an account on IG saying Knibbs was interesting Oxford, Pompey and Sheff Utd. With the later preparing a £2.5m bid.
A friend who's also a little ITK also reported that we have good money to invest in forward but only if we believe it's someone they could trade up down the line.Expect us to continue with this kind of model where we add some experience on the cheap but then pay millions for players when we think they could be worth more in the future0 -

That said, he'd have a great mentor in Godden.
I'm a bit meh about it if I'm honest.
That was credit to the amazing Cafc defence which shackled Both Kone and Kelman in the semi finals and final.
I judge forwards over a season not one match where Kelman managed 46 app which wasn't too shabby as he got battered by league 1 defenders yet still scored 23 goals and 5 assists in 24/25 in a bang average side which over achieved to get to Wembley.
With both Kelman and the impressive Galbraith gone, Orient will struggle to be in the top 12 this season.
That is a Shay Given and the forwards are more clinical so every defensive player has to 'up his game' including Ramsey who has been a revelation since coming in from the footballing hotbed of Harrogate in League 2 after not being wanted at 23 by any bigger teams until superb Scouting by CAFC.
Kayne was so good in League 1 he could make a mistake and had the pace to rescue his own mistake which he did on numerous occasions.
Lloyd Jones said to Ramsey " You are supposed to tuck in more" a bit of banter after the Wembley victory but Jones and Gillesphey definitely enjoyed playing in a 3 because of the success it brought.
We have competition for every shirt now and the higher demands on all the 16 players who take part on match days.
Possibly a couple more new faces to make 9 in this window.
I may be the only one but I don't see a traditional big number 9 target man coming in. if a 6ft 7in player like Miles can't play that role whenever he gets on the pitch and I mean the ball going in to his feet as much as his chest or head then something has gone wrong with his development which maybe because of the 4 big injuries in 3 seasons.0 -
I know nothing

cafcsinger said:Kelman is an interesting one, i'd be pretty surprised if we went in for in. He wouldn't be cheap, and i doubt QPR would sell to a rival anyway. I don't think it would be a guarantee Kelman would start for us anyway - can't see this one happening at all.0

Has Youssef Chermeti from Everton been mentioned as the target, erm, target man0

Miles jogged around the pitch for a bit on Saturday without contributing much. It will be a very tall order to expect him to start playing 60 minutes in Championship football any time soon I think. Mbick is nowhere near ready. The only striker we have with a Championship record is Godden, who is coming to the end of his career
Another striker must be on the cards11 -
