That's a bit of a coup , was linked with us last summerRed_Chester said:Portsmouth signing Azeez from Arsenal.1 -
The Lee deal is another that happened with almost no foreplay on social media.
That doesn't mean there's loads of deals about to get done but it shows that lack of social media rumours doesn't mean nothing is happening.

For the “can’t believe we’ve loaded a Luton player” mob. I get the sentiment, we are bigger than Luton. But this is where we are, and we deserve no more currently. Never forget that back in the day we loan Konchesky to Spurs and sold Kinsella to Villa when he couldn’t nick a start for us, the transfer window does not care for decorated history or the size of your fan base.26

It seems pretty certain that the club have decided to keep everything in house until they decide otherwise. Very frustrating for us fans(especially with the constant bollox being repeated on here). But I’m ok with it as long as we make progress. I think the days of playing transfers out in public for us all to chew the fat over have gone.Henry Irving said:The Lee deal is another that happened with almost no foreplay on social media.

Pleased with this signing, now let's add a few more.2

I am slightly surprised at those posters who think we don’t need another Striker - the biggest risk to this team is if Stockley gets injured. Davison and Schwartz are nowhere near good enough to lead the line.. Davison might get there but he’s not there yet -neither of his spells at Woking or FGR last season indicated that he would be good enough at League 1 level. For starters he’s not good enough in the air for our current tactics !!20

How things have changed. I don’t remember any rumours when I started watching Charlton. You found out a player had been bought ( or most likely sold ) in the Evening Standard or Evening News.paulfox said:

But it was a good excuse to stop off for a pint to recover from the shock.10 -

Big signing if true...Red_Chester said:Portsmouth signing Azeez from Arsenal.0 -
Gilbey I agree when he's back in the team, which will likely be the end of September.RonnieMoore said:Covered End said:Stockley, Kirk, DJ and Lee as your most attacking 4 is potentially very exciting.
I'm hoping Lee is the biggest missing link.Gilbey, JFC , Clayden. as well ….
JFC will be more likely January.
Clayden, I can't see it based on what I've seen of him, but I hope he's better than that.2 -
He's never played senior football and he's 18. Could be great, could tank against proper centre-halves.MickeyBennett said:

Is he? Already has one MOTM to his name this season. He does unfortunately blow hot and cold but which L1 winger doesn’t?cafcsinger said:

@Redvaliant is the king. Keep an eye out for his posts 😉CAFCsayer said:0 -
I hope they're not totally spot on as he/she don’t think we’ll get either Lowery or Dempsey_MrDick said:

No pressure from Rob Lee on his son!! Says he’s going to bring us goals goals goals 😂0

Any winger, any league tbh. I like the way he has bulked up a bit and I think his decision making has improved. Could be a key player this season.Callumcafc said:

I think in about a year/18 months DJ will be a 10 or second striker if not an out and out center forward. Reminds me of Antonio when he played for Wednesday.CatAddick said:

Just watched Lee’s interview on valley pass and the bit that stuck out for me is he mentions how interest only happened in the last 24 hours and it all happened really fast just goes to show how quick we can and will act and how things may still change alot with our interest/bids for players
Keep the faith everyone still think we will get another few gooduns🤞🏻

Perhaps we were trying for Lowery & or Dempsey, making no great head way and didn't want to end up with no one in midfield with L1 experience?CharltontillidieCOYR said:Just watched Lee’s interview on valley pass and the bit that stuck out for me is he mentions how interest only happened in the last 24 hours and it all happened really fast just goes to show how quick we can and will act and how things may still change alot with our interest/bids for players

Speaking for myself, I love foreplay.4 -
I still think we could go in for one of them on a perm lee plays Am/striker we still need more creativity in midfield i thinkCovered End said:

for those wondering it’s pronounced Ell-e-it . Said slowly and with your spindliest finger pointing glowingly at him.6

Against Sheff Wed - poor. Against Oxford, he had 7 touches - abysmal. Against Wigan - poor again.Callumcafc said:

I assume he was motm against MK Dons, in which case fair play. From what i've seen last season and this I think he's overrated by a lot on here6 -
Interesting video, sure i heard Olly drop a line in around 1.20 saying that "Difficult start and that Nige hasn't been able to get the squad together to where he wants it to be until next week"??, so ..a hint that there are more developments on the horizon, certainly need them, but big clue there maybe?CharltontillidieCOYR said:Just watched Lee’s interview on valley pass and the bit that stuck out for me is he mentions how interest only happened in the last 24 hours and it all happened really fast just goes to show how quick we can and will act and how things may still change alot with our interest/bids for players

Genuinely think he’ll do better when (if?) we get more players in the box. Very hard for wingers to pick out a sole target.cafcsinger said:

DJ is a typical winger who produces about every 5 games, which is why Curbishley preferred to play without wingers.cafcsinger said:

Yes Rommedahl played but had little success.
Mind you DJ will find it easier with Kirk & Lee in the team so he's not double marked and will receive more of the ball. We shall see.2 -
I think you have to accept that wingers are going to blow very hot or very cold. I do think that they thrive on confidence and playing in a team that’s doing well with plenty of possession where they are not isolated for long periods is a massive confidence thing.4

Lee is a very good signing and credit to them for getting this one done and in time for Saturday.
However, we should be nowhere near done yet. If the first 4 league games have told us anything it’s that we are so far short of where we need to be.
A left back, a central midfielder, and a striker are priority for me.
Said the other day failure to replace Aneke is criminal. That is likely to be the biggest difference in our season.
We need an attacking left back, who is left footed. It will help bring the best out of Kirk and it will allow us to start looking threatening, getting players closer to Stockley.
We need another midfielder, with Lee being the 10, we need someone better than Dobson, Watson, Morgan and Clare to play in the two with someone (hopefully with Gilbey when he’s back). We are clearly in for a midfielder otherwise we wouldn’t have had Gomes on trial and wouldn’t be linked to players like Lowery and Dempsey. It’s a position we really need.
Centre back is an issue but the more time goes on, the more I can see Adkins feeling like money can be better spent elsewhere and trusts Elewere.
This is an absolute minimum, those 3 positions. Failure to bring them in will mean we will have an unbelievably difficult battle getting near the top 6.34
