Do you not remember how poor we looked going forwards before Millar joined?Todds_right_hook said:
we play the diamond formationFishCostaFortune said:I think it's very clear we want a winger, and not to get one is a bit of a failing.
I do worry what will happen if Millar gets injured.
Who would you play at the tip of the diamond. Problem is most of our current midfield our better when they deeper.0 -

As we're maxed out on loans, it's not as if we can do a last minute deal as a loan, it'll have to be a permanent signing0

I get that but the player has to take some responsibility if he isn’t starting a game. He’s made 200 appearances in ten years for seven clubs. It isn’t just here that it hasn’t quite worked out. I hope he has a great time at Cardiff and does well.killerandflash said:l
It's not Williams' fault that he's been on the bench. Indeed he's not been injured at all this seasonsirjohnhumphrey said:
A replacement for a player that spends a hell of a lot of time on the bench?se9addick said:
It is rather silly to let players go before you have replacements sorted.sirjohnhumphrey said:Fleetwood didn’t want to sell as they had no replacement, nothing to do with the player turning us down. Could the anti Bowyer brigade read what’s been reported before blaming it on Bowyer,
I share the respect for Williams on and off the pitch but I can’t see that him leaving is a devastating blow. Is Smith a potential replacement?0 -

Start of the season recruitment was rushed due to the upheavals. Not all of those players were going to work out. Its good to move those players on. Omar Bogle was not good enough to lead the line by himself. Madisson was always going to be a gamble. Smyth move was out of LB's hands, though hard working never nailed down a place and lacked an end product. Levitt made little impact.With the other players, Alfie Doughty was a shame but was unsettled and clearly not to stick around. Johnnie Williams is a great character but Charlton supporters will also have as soft spot for him. JW has difficulty turning in a full game and is not really suited to the agricultural challenges of league one. Brendan Wiredu (fantastic signing off letter) never featured. LB has moved George Lapslie on, but he was never a regular starter.The window brings in Jayden Stockley looks decent and able to meet the physical challenge of league one. Liam Miller is a great addition, Smith from Arsenal is a forward playing midfielder and is promising, Schwartz looks like knows where the goal is.I have been taking a look on #cafc Twitter and there's a mini meltdown. The squad has a couple less bodies / but really don't understand the gnashing and wailing of teeth. Some of the people making the comments over there really need to have a look at themselves.14

Listening to Harry Redknapp talk about Bale is exactly what I would have said to Bowyer about Williams.
No, I am not over it, it's too soon 😭😭2 -
Sounds like someone wasn't paying attention last summer transfer window.Gravesend_Addick said:Wonder how many times Bowyer will mention the salary cap in his post deadline interview.
Feels like he complains about it more than anyone else

If we are trying to get one more, to to speed things up, we shouldn’t bother with a medical.If the player isn’t currently injured, he soon will be22

It does seem bonkers that we've spent all day desperately trying to sign a winger...any winger... but have let three leave, plus had Smyth recalled last week. I get the arguments about why each one might have been deemed surplus to requirements, but it does seem short sighted to have let all three leave before securing at least one replacement.

A 29 year old!
The shock! The horror! The downright absurdity of it.
29...my goodness. All washed up & over the hill.
How very dare they?

We had a lot of players on high ish wages, that counted as 1.7k for cap purposes, then we added Watson and Gunter.Swisdom said:
If you look at some of the players we have it is no wonder we are at the top end of the cap. For League 1 we have some big names who are no doubt on big money. We are also in London so the cost of living is higher - ergo we need to pay a bit of a premium for that to attract players.EricBanterna said:
One thing that has happened, TS has backed this club to the hills and sorted alot of the background issues and sorted the foundations going forward.BigRedEvil said:Let's be honest TS aim of Europe in 8 years is not going to start by signing a L1 journeyman. Would have hoped to have a bit more ambition this window. Its a shit league, we've signed Ronnie who I can't help but feel was signed due to the Danish connection and some more loanees. So no matter what another rebuild is needed in the summer.
Keep hearing the cap is killing us, but the cynic in me says maybe we don't have as much money as we thought.
The cap is the cap, we could have funds like man City but are still governed by the cap unfortunately.
The bottom line is we have too many high profile high earners for a League 1 club so we need to clear the decks a bit - and that's what we are doing. Trimming away some of the fat.
If we get someone else in today then that would be a bonus but I really don't see why there is so much apparent wrist-slashing going on at the moment. THe signings we have made have been good and improvements on those they have replaced )with the exception of Williams and Maddison so far). Still time to go but maybe it's time to acknowledege this season isn't going to end with promotion and we are preparing for a rebuild in the summer.
I can think of dozens of reasons why signing Watson, for example, is a good idea but to coach Shinnie, JFC and Gilbey through a game isn't one.
Why do we need to, relatively, highly paid right backs?
The wages of Chuks, Williams, Amos, Pearce and Pratley aren't what is/was crippling us. At least not in the terms of the cap.
I think the comfortably above £2k players we have are:
Gunter
Watson
Schwartz
Matthews
The marginally above I'd expect to be:
Inniss
Famewo,
Stockley (Less sure of)
Shinnie (Less sure of)
Calculated at the Average League 1 Salary of £1,700:
Gilbey
Washington
Purrington
Pratley
Pearce
Amos
Aneke
F.Caskey
Oshilaja
