Sorba Thomas or 'a trash bosom' would have been tastyScoham said:We take the names of rumoured new signings and rearrange the letters to form a description of that player.2 -
They’re not looking to get rid, they’ve offered him a new deal but as it stands he only has 6 months left on his contract.ct_addick said:If the Bournemouth lad is good why are Bournemouth looking to get rid....especially as they are in the championship and could give him a few games?9 -
Ofoborh may be well built but he is only 5'9" so not the Vieira-type people may think he is. Having said that he certainly looks to be a fine physical specimen.
From the clips I have seen of him he tends to play more on the right side of midfield or as a right back sometimes. He is not the creative type as his attempted through-balls were not great but he made a few decent interceptions and his defensive positioning looked solid.
He scored a thunderbolt against MK Dons too - worth looking it up if it's on youtube0 -
I reckon he’s had s tip off about the new masseuse who’d putting the spring into chucks step and he fancies s bit of it - he’s probably paying us to join0

They have just signed Jack Wiltshire and are looking at another midfielder. I guess he wants to play football as will not be getting a game any day soon.ct_addick said:If the Bournemouth lad is good why are Bournemouth looking to get rid....especially as they are in the championship and could give him a few games?2 -
Looks like we decided to release him.ElliotCAFC said:
And Jordan Zemura - left us to go to Bournemouth a couple of seasons back. Top quality LB and is now starting games in the Championship.Scoham said:
Largie Ramazani is another, released by Man Utd in the summer but now playing in the Spanish second tier.Athletico Charlton said:
Remember kids like Timmy Abraham, Jeremy Sarmiento and likely others I have never heard of have been spirited away at 16 and must now be 18-20. I also thought our U18's are meant to be highly thought of.ForeverAddickted said:

They are all 23 as to is Lookman. Aribo is 24.Covered_End_Lad said:
Thing is we would have had Gomez, konsa and grant as players in that bracket (not sure we can count lookman?) so they are coming through but we have just cashed in on them!killerandflash said:
Our academy has actually produced relatively few players in the last 2 or 3 years really, in comparison to some other periods when Charlton have relied on U23sCafc43v3r said:
Have we?Redrobo said:
I think we have promoted so many youngsters that have then left, the cupboard is a bit bare. Sounds like a good idea.Cafc43v3r said:I would love to see 2 or 3 18-20 year olds bought in this window with the view of them being in contention for the 1st team in the summer.
Whether it's a consequence of the last 2 or 3 years or has just happened it seems an area we are short in.
It's hard to get behind a rebuilding project when you only sign players in their late 20s or early (even mid) 30s or loans you have no realist chance of signing medium term.
I think if you look at the 23+ range we have lost a lot of players that would be the core of a half decent championship side.
I think it maybe the rest of other factors at play. If you look at the current u23s there are a lot of "external" players then quite a gap to Henry and Barker.
Morgan and Doughty, but nobody else really knocking on the door in terms of outfield players in the 19-22 year old age group other than perhaps Vennings. No centre backs or strikers who could have done a job during our recent injury problems, indeed it's quite unusual to see a Charlton side with NO home grown defenders at all, when you consider the number who have come through down the years
On Tuesday we probably won't have an academy player in the 18. I am not sure AMB counts.
I do wonder if we are starting to see the "being out of the Premier league" effect impact our early years recruitment and we aren't compensating with the likes of Aribo and Lookman as we were.
Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree but, for me, it looks like an area on concern.
With the amount of First Team kids we've churned out this last decade or so I always felt that there would come a time when that conveyor belt would slow down a bit eventually, and that we'd go through a bit of a blip
Definitely agree that we're potentially suffering from being out of the Premier League now though; Barker | Henry | Vennings, even Morgan (who like you say will be suspended on Tuesday, hence not having an Academy Player in that squad), are they truly good enough for the Premier League some day, or will they be solid Championship or lower Football League standard?
The likes of AMB, Barker and Henry certainly have a chance as well.
Biggest impact may have been players who left or chose other clubs while in the younger age groups. Not being in the Prem may have been the difference between them coming through our academy or going elsewhere.

Not sure how true this is but I grew up in Bournemouth and have lots of bournemouth supporting mates, one of them just told me that Ofoborh has had a big falling out with Tindall and Tindall “allegedly chinned him!”0

We were "linked" with him last year (can't remember which window). We don't need another striker & in any case his goal scoring record is poor. It's a no from me.2

Looking at the clubs "linked" with him in the follow up tweet, Bristol Rovers, Crewe and Fleetwood would make more sense. Can't see Sunderland being interested either

If you look through the twitter replies too it has someone saying he's the source for this as he tweeted the account it 6 mins before they posted... think it's defo one to ignore. Although if i remember rightly he ripped us apart at the valley?Covered_End_Lad said:

George lapslie stayed in a hotel last night with his family. Would probably mean he’s on the move.0

Spoke to a Mansfield fan recently who was asking about George, told him to put in a nice bid, with a good sell on clause.Red_Chester said:George lapslie stayed in a hotel last night with his family. Would probably mean he’s on the move.0 -
Another rumour, this account is pretty reliable from what I can remember.
