Two signings very close. 

Swindon's coaches?

Hope one of them is Tucker. Would be sign of intent I think. 

Really not sure he if that’s great, and maybe not BG style.  I think too much hype around him!

Prefer using Kings Ferry

JR rules ok.
Let it be improvements on the escapees.
I've reached a point in my Charlton life where my Welmed can't be under.

Belgian and a Morrocan

Pretty much halfway through June without any signings. We can officially hit the panic button.

Imagine the reaction if our first signing is announced in July and it’s Elliot Lee.

Season starts on 30th July. PANIC , EVERYONE PANIC

And of course leaving transfer dealings to after the season has started really worked well for us last year.

Did you not learn anything from last year ?

No doubt we'll look to sign our full compliment of loan players, around 5.

Although the way the loan system works out, we're likely to have to wait for most of our loan signings until August/just before the window slams shut.

Same as every club at our level.

You know we DONT have to take up quota of 5 loans don't you. We could, heaven forbid, just sign players as per (on a free even) and have OUR players playing for us, rather than Chelsea's. That also means we wont be forever having to sign players on a yearly basis.

Why dont WE take the initiative rather than pandering to the "big" clubs and end up scrabbling around on deadline day. 

But we are a League One club, Golfie. In theory(!) we try to get a couple of the 'stars of the future' from Prem clubs whose sideline business is to make money out of a 'loan production line'.

Alright, in plain English, the Cullens, Bieliks and Gallaghers ...... kids with Prem Cat One pedigree, who are now ready (hopefully) to gain valuable experience playing mens football. Right now we could never afford to buy this quality of player, so loans are our affordable route. It's always a gamble of course, because some of these are not really ready. We would hope they must be better than our own youngsters though, right?

And maybe Championship players who are available once their squads have been sorted. You know how it goes.

It's not just us, of course ..... every League One club tries to do the same thing. Many Championship clubs also.

Ah, Ford and Mercedes.

IF, a big IF of course we managed to get Naby and Tucker, surely that would mean Clare will be used in the middle of the park, as the back three would be Naby, Tucker and Lavelle?

There were rumours at the end of last season that Sandgaard didn’t want to pay big loan fees, hence why we ended up with Castillo  and Niles John. Maybe they weren’t good enough or not ready? Maybe Sandgaard didn’t see the point with promotion unrealistic? Who knows. 

So if that’s true, we’re not going to end up with players at the level of Gallagher, Cullen or Bielik. 

We don't know though. Even if that's the plan now, the budget can change like season ...... but hopefully not that late!

Ben Thompson has joined Peterborough. Always rated him. 

One of those players who makes a side difficult to play against.

It's a no for me.

Good. We don't want another Ben.

He'd never ever sign for us anyway 

I thought we'd got over the "lets make a big signing as a signal of intent" phase.
