No expert on Portuguese football but who the bloody hell are FC Famalicao? Capacity of 5000 and seems like they will be competing in the top division for the first time in roughly 25 years. Yes it's the top division but this is a team who are likely to go straight back down and I don't think they could compete in the Champ. 

All that and we don't have the power to financially compete with them? Shows the worrying situation we find ourselves in. 

What if he wanted £5k a week in Portugal or £7k a week in England?

Maybe he wants to go home and play in his country? 

Born in Lisbon to Portuguese parents but family moved to London when he was very young.

Brought up in London as a kid and played locally for Bridon Sports when he was 14, before playing in the Spurs academy for 4 years, until he was 20.

Yes i know thats why i said maybe he wants to go home and play in his country. He may feel Portuguese seeing as he was born there and his family are from there? 

Not technically his home though is it? His family are in London.

Oztumer +1 according to a well-connected friend.

He said on Tuesday to me that Oztumer would be signing "tomorrow, Thursday latest", I asked him last night what was going on and he told me he didn't know why there was a hold up, but that nothing had changed.

Speculation from me, but I'm guessing they wanted to announce two signings, with Aribo going yesterday...? I dunno how the logic works.

I am not as technical as you 

Doubt it will be Nketiah, it's too early in pre-season for teams to be loaning out players.

When is the transfer window for Championship clubs closing? Just wondering if we have any time after the Prem to sign their unwanted youngsters / squad players 

Same as the Premier League one. 8th Aug is it?

CAFC players and staff fly off to the sun tomorrow for a bit of pre season training and bonding .. d'you reckon Bowyer has booked a few extra seats on the plane on a sale or return basis ? ((:>)

Andy Williams or Serena Williams?

Andy’s popped his clogs so no appearance bonuses. Roland’s kind of signing. 

Nope, still playing, 12 goals for Northampton last season.  But nonetheless, Roland's kind of signing

Très amusant.

It never works out well when anyone associated with Charlton makes predictions about signings.

I'll disprove that:  I predict we won't make anywhere near as many signings as we need.

We only need two. I think we will sign more than that and will easy be able to put a team out all season.

Although the squad is ridiculously light right now, i must admit i'm not overly bothered. Still 5 weeks to the first game and almost 6 until the window closes.

Loan signings likely won't happen until the last week of the window which obviously isn't ideal for pre-season planning but plenty of clubs will be in the same boat, waiting and waiting to see who the top flight clubs are willing to offload. I'm confident we can expect at least 3-4 loans.

In terms of actual signings most players aren't out of contract until this weekend anyway, so i'm sure we'll start to see movement in the next week or so. Plus with the way football is now, a lot of clubs outside the premier league and top half of the championship offer shorter contracts now and there will be a ton of decent players out of contract. Clubs surely know that as it gets closer to the season these players will become more desperate to get a contract and might even lower their initial demands.

Look at how we started last season and we pulled through. I fully trust Bowyer and Gallen to get deals done.

*****UPDATE ******

The first confirmed signing today - I give you Johnnie Williams !

A lengthy & intensive medical examination was undertaken earlier this morning & I'm delighted to announce that Johnnie will be joining the Addicks !

Johnnie, who joins us from Tunbridge Wells Vets ( hence the rubber gloves required for his examination) should NOT be confused with former loanee Jonny Williams who will be rejoining the club in the next few days. 

It is expected that 2 players with identical names will confuse both opposition managers, players and match officials - especially when bookings are noted by the latter- and as such, will be a huge bonus in the team of 9 that will take the field in the red shirts on August 3rd.

Our latest signing has now left Fanackapan Towers besieged by the press, following a lengthy interview with Jim White and is currently en route to Sparrows Lane where the owner's Player Farm is due to be relaunched.

Put THAT in your pipe & smoke it, "Scoop" Cawley ! 

Have I taken LSD by mistake again?

Phillips/Maynard-Brewer
Solly/Dijksteel Pearce/Bowry Sarr/Stevenson Page/Mascoll
Forster-Caskey/Pratley
Lapslie/Morgan Maloney
Aouachira 
Taylor/ Bonne/Ocran

A couple of other youngsters, trialists and signings like Oztumer and I'm sure there's 22 that can play

You follow charlton much? :-) Some of those already moved on......

Mascoll got released I think

Bowry got released I think.
