Southbank said:Clarke-Harris is a 3rd tier journeyman, not as good as Taylor but plays the same role. Why buy him now unless Taylor deal is already done? What we are missing in attack is a pacy goal scorer and a Gallagher style attacking midfielder. Clarke-Harris is neither of those so he would be superfluous if he comes and Taylor stays.11

“What I don’t get is why”........exactly, you don’t know why and nor does anyone apart from those few main individuals involved, for all you know it could be a shrewdly timed bid.
Why do you automatically consider it’s a mistake? Have you considered that a deal or two for other targets could have fallen through and that’s why we are now in the frame.
It could be for countless reasons that we are only bidding now......it could even be that we have been negotiating for a good while longer and have only just made it known........who knows?
There’s several games of poker going on with Championship clubs at this very moment, in which we are no doubt heavily involved.1 -

It's very simple. Just don't sell him.
At ANY cost.
And at a guess whoever we were looking at his price would shoot up0 -

If ESI hadn't got the dosh we must be the only club ever get brought by "Middle East money" that ain't got any ----- but it's very very Charlton3
-
The value of staying in the Championship is far greater than the price we will get for Lyle20

On the basis that I was prepared to give the polish kid a chance when we sold kermogant, I’m staying out of the Taylor/ch debate0

I assume we have all come to accept we have a £shop Sheik and not a real one?0

So most of the players we've been linked with this window have been strikers, and our main priority is said to be a CM, I think that just goes to show most of those ITK/Twitter journo types are full of horseshit3

However, I find it fascinating that under RD we were bidding 4M for players in the league below but with this lot, 1 bid which I think was laughed at for the Bristol Rovers striker, other than that we have only heard about a couple of loans - One of which a player that can not get into a team in the SPL...We need bodies, let's not mess about. ESI need time I agree, but they could either get off to a rockey start, or great start and no signings in my opinion welcomes the rockey start.
Also what's the difference between having a 4m bid rejected under RD to having undisclosed bids rejected under ESI? End of the day the result is the same.
We have made bids for players this window but it's a sellers and players market, we can't make people sell or players join.
And to be fair, last season we kept Bauer (in the same contract situation as Taylor) so it's not as if we always flogged players with contracts running down under Roland.
I think for this window we need to lower our expectations or risk being disappoin0 -

That was a pretty nasty injury and layoff he had, including a worrying set back shortly before he was due back.
Complete left field comment on my part I know......but may quite understandably be of considerable concern to prospective buyers.0 -

It would be quite a feat actually even for a groundbreaking club like Charlton.
Taken over by Middle Eastern money and relegated...
I prefer to rely on my faith in Bowyer and the lads.2 -
We simply aren’t in a position to buy or loan hopefuls, we have to get in proven players at this moment in time and like it or not that costs serious money.0

My view on the JCH bid is that he is a replacement for Lyle. Brentford have probably come back in for him, esp after losing last night & that's why we have put in a (late) bid for him.
I know RD supposedly said our bid for Toney last August was not a replacement for Taylor, but I dont buy that bullshit.....esp when it was with RD in charge.
At least we are looking at buying decent in form & experienced strikers (Toney, Gnadduillet & JCH) rather than very young loanees from Spurs, Watford or Norwich.1 -
