    if there was why bother telling the fans, Its been 3 days since the transfer window shut & I've heard nothing from the club about why they didn't bring anyone in.

    This is the sort of absolute twaddle where this site has got itself into a lather. There are lots of problems which need sorting but please lets keep the facts straight.
    During the window we brought into 5 players; Watt, Lepoint, Velkovic, Johnson and Dimitovic - whether they are of the right quality and exactly what we need/want is debatable, but please lets stick to some facts

    Don't forget Etheridge. Technically he was signed in the window - so 6. On loan before then.
    slip that one in under the radar :wink:

    Don not forget Bulot is back, so with all these new signings and including Bulot and Henderson, we should be climbing the league sooner than we thought:-)

    If we're going to dance on the head of a pin - and it's the only dancing I do - Johnson wasn't signed during the window. So not six.

    Luzon told me it was not about him when asked whether fans would give him fair chance to turn things around at Charlton #cafc


    Guy Luzon tells me Charlton poor form a "great challenge". Ahead of Brentford game says rumours over Mark Warburton "not our problem" #cafc


    Luzon on Charlton supporter unrest: "if I was a fan I would also be frustrated" but insists "we must have backing of fans" #cafc

    Would have been better to say "we must earn the backing of the fans" imo.

    Luzon on charlton supporters unrest:
    " if i was a fan i would also be frustrated if the head coach for the 5th game in a row didn't play Tony watt and Igor together who as soon as their were put together at h/t both scored. Also thanks to the fans who pointed this out to me on Tuesday. especially the good looking chap who looks like Richard Gere or no sorry, Richard the third, as i walked along the touchline. Well i know he had the hump with me."

    Tony Hudd there and then Paul Green (News Shopper) grilling the manager.

    He sounds more like Mourinho every press day or is that just because we're winning : - )

    Thought he was going to be a rabbit in the headlights when he started.
    The fella oozes confidence. Dare I say that he could probably manage at a higher level.

    One thing is certain, right now we should be giving him a break not showing bloody silly puppet pictures.

    Great interview that. He seems relaxed with a bit of humour. Just shows what a few wins can do. Building up a relationship with the journos as well.

    But NOT in THAT way.............(yet!)
  • He has arrogance. When it is going well like now people will warm to that and rave about how like Mourinho he is. If / when it turns and we go on a bad run people will hate it.

    Luzon confirms everyone available bar Caballos, Reza and Henderson. Expects a loan deal in next seven days for attacking mid. #CAFC

    Stephen Henderson a couple of weeks away but won't be rushed. Luzon not sure if Watt, Vetokele or Makienok will be fit to start v #RUFC.

    How are none of them potentially fit to start? If they are available they must be fit to start. Watt hasnt been out that long, Igor has played c70 mins v Wolves.

    As for Makienok - if he is available then he must be over his hamstring strain. He has only been out for 2 weeks so cant have lost match fitness that quickly.

    Because 1. They're not and if they're not they're not and 2. Luzon is playing his cards close to his chest

    At #CAFC for Guy Luzon's press conference. Quickly spoke to Igor Vetokele who missed training due to being ill. Tony Watt fit. #RUFC

    Its just frustrating. We got through to the international break, and was so looking forward to finally seeing a full strength attack versus Rotherham after 2 weeks off. To have KAG on his own up front would be a shame.

    Igor was certainly not fit enough to play 70 mins against Wolves. Only came on early due to injury to Big Mak. Hoped he might be fit enough by now though.

    Personally, I'm pleased Luzon doesn't tell the opposition our line up. It's completely foolish to do so.

    Why give them an advantage before the game kicks off ?
