Could your glasses be tinted any more rosy?Chris_from_Sidcup said: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.0 -
Oztumer and Williams ?grumpyaddick said:Unconfirmed reports from various sources that half a player will be joining next Friday and the other half in January 2020.4 -
May be happy to take a pay cut on a years contract and earn a better deal next season. He can only do that if he is playing.Showmetheway2gohome said:I don’t think Williams is a money motivated that much and is happy to play for us
He could even even sign a six month and gamble on a new owner or a better deal. In B&G we trust.2 -

Serena's gone to Wimbledon1 -
I think Williams views matters a bit like Bowyer.
Happiness/contentment is now more important than just money.
However, neither want to be taken advantage of and expect a reasonable offer, if not a top one.2 -
And Rohan Ince, I remember people demanded we signed them to make the numbers up. Ince ended up signing for no one, Elliot got relegated with Notts County and Dawkins played an impressive 2 games for Ipswich who had an unbelievable season. Bowyer played the long game brilliantly last summer, I expect him to do the same again. It might not be enough to stay up but think he will give it a right go.Scoham said:
Last year we had Elliott Ward and Simon Dawkins on trial. In the end Bowyer made the right call to wait and sign Bielik, Cullen and Jamie Ward.killerandflash said:It doesn't necessarily mean he'll sign for us - didn't the ex MKD keeper Martin train with us all summer- but it's a promising sign10 -
Ha ha not really that rosy. As i've said it's obvious the squad is light and we all know we need at least 10 signings but i'm not going to panic on 28 June.AddicksAddict said:

What I think is happening at the moment, not ITK at all, is Bowyer is working on 5 players that he wants if the take over happens, or it doesn't. My guess is its 1 goal keeper, 1 defender (left back or RCB), 2 midfielders (names are out there) and a striker.
Then 3 or 4 loans, leaving 1 or 2 for late on in the window. I would expect the defender he didn't get on a free, a midfielder who can play at center back and a striker.
That would give him about 20 players. It's what happens then that will depend on the take over. 1 it goes through, he adds some quality even see some of the current players who he doesn't think are good enough go, or the younger ones out on loan. 2 Roland releases a bit of budget to bring in 3 or 4 championship quality players. 3 the idiot tries to break even and we have to take what ever is in the reduced to clear bin on the 8th August.0 - Sponsored links:

Charlton will kick-off their pre-season friendlies with a match against Romanian outfit CS Gaz Metan Mediaș in a behind-closed-doors game on Thursday, July 4th (7pm local time).
Bowyer said: “It’s not going to be anything crazy. It is 45 minutes most of them will be playing and it will just be getting used to the bigger pitch as the first few days of work we are doing, at our training camp, will be in tighter areas, so it’s just to get used to a bit of longer passing and people closing you down.
Do I assume given the current size of our squad, that this is a 6-a-side fixture?

It can only be Oztumer. I'd be surprised if it's anyone else, unless we do a group reveal.
