    Surely we can wait for another 60 mins or so before calling this window either way and / or suggesting the need for a meltdown 
    Yeah, because after 3 months of the window being open signing someone with 60 mins to go is seen as a positive & part of a plan. 
    All clubs are doing it… it’s how it goes. It’s not ‘typical Charlton’ - it’s transfer deadline day. Like other clubs we’ve done most of our business already.

    @Rossman92 while we're waiting, can you answer a question, the answer of which has been bugging me for ages? 

    What is that dolphin whispering in your ear?

    “Be patient”

    QPR just brought in striker from Watford so expect them to release the striker to us on loan 
    The one that has already gone to Gillingham?

    Well I had just kissed it 30 seconds before so the content of that conversation is not safe for this site  ;)

    You realise there is 24mins left 
    How do you know something hasn't been complete for an hour and we are waiting for photos and all that before we announce? Until the club, Rich, or anyone of note says this is it, there's no reason to say that today was a failure. Until I hear otherwise, I remain optimisitic
    Have you supported Charlton long ?

    I wouldn't necessarily want him myself but Maxime Biamou is a free agent who could sign a short term deal after tonight. 
    I wouldn't necessarily want him but Carl Leaburn is available. Previous links with the club. 🙄

    We aint even taken our full quota of loans have we?
    Two slots left
    Got to assume we will take 2 loaness then unless Adkins has told those above that he's happy to bleed in our youngsters.
    I won't argue if that's the plan.
    At this time of the night I cant see Lavelle and two loans coming in.

    Its a frustrating / bitter sweet scenario if we dont fill our quota as towards the end of the season there were a lot of complaints about people getting fed up of us signing five loans each summer as we need to build our own squad

    So its good we've reduced our quota at the present.

    But we still need a Left-Back
    And a striker

    Give me another 20 years, I'm sure I'll be a miserable sod by that point

    Sounds like Lavelle done.


  • No surprise there... Expected the deal sheet to go to the EFL a while ago in case of any delays due to the distance between player and us

    I was there by the age of 15.

    We definitely should not feel obliged to use 5 loans just because we can have up to 5 loans in a matchday squad.

    However, we are going to end up obliged to use 5 loans because we don't have a sufficient number of senior players under permanent contract.
    Pretty much. If we don't take 5 loans then we are putting a lot of trust in our youngsters in this league.

    Elerewe is the only youth player close to the level needed for the first team squad just now.
  • LB ST and im a v happy man!

    If we dont sign a left back it’s bordering on criminal.

    ‘Cant believe we’re doing business this late’ - what you mean like every other club in the country?
    Outrageous question. It’s common knowledge that the other 91 league clubs finished there signings weeks ago. Only us that are shopping in bargain bins tonight 😉

    Most of our business but desperately need a LB, another striker and CH cover. Can’t see all three happening tonight. But hey ho we will pick up an out of contract LB next Wednesday, who hasn’t trained properly all pre season who should be ready by early November.

    I think club recruitment teams must be adrenaline/stress junkies. Watching Sky Sports, we are not alone, all they keep on banging on about is how many last minute deals/moves are still going through with 18 mins of the window remaining. Now want a LB beyond all else like many others. A huge accident waiting to happen and Roddy again proved he is a Passback rather than Fullback tonight, so is categorically not a viable option if Purrington and Matthews are both injured (ie Gunter moves back to his natural position).

    I don't think you've been paying attention. We've not "done most of our business already". We are still 5 or 6 players short of what is needed & dome players we've brought in (Clare & Dodson) are average League 1 players. And we've still not replaced last seasons top goal scorer. 

    But apart from that everything's peachy.

    5 or 6, give over
    He’s not wrong. Have you seen our squad? So short in most departments. 
  • Lots of players still to be announced; Dale, Grigg, Eaves.

    Expect atleast two of them to go somewhere this eve (even if not announced until past midnight).
