these are certainly ‘Garner signings’ maybe the extent of the black box was exaggerated. 3 -
I know what you mean, in reality we've signed two players from league 2 clubs who failed to get promoted but in our heads we've signed Ronaldo and MessiJamesSeed said:Every year I get stupidly excited when the signings happen.
I’m even worse this year. I’m loving the sound of these first two.I even had a punt (e/w) on the title at 20/1 just now :-)
No self control. Ludicrous over optimism. But hey ho.Another signing at six this evening please. Got the Temazepam ready.
Also I love how Charlton fans can turn from absolute negativity 2 weeks ago to suddenly we are going to win the league following a couple of new arrivals COYR 2 -

Early yesterday, it was reported that a player agent was playing hardball, OWTTE. Does anyone know if that related to either of the signings since announced, or is that hush hush (eye-to-eye)?1

He has the final say on signings, as Gallen stated in his interview saying it would be ridiculous if he didn’t.SOTF said:
He's not in charge, likewise, he isn't not in charge. He is part of a recruitment team and has the right to veto or recommend targets as Steve Gallen has confirmed.Braziliance said:I guess the people claiming that Ben Garner won’t be in charge of signings can put that one to bed now
It really doesn't have to be one or the other where Ben Garner and signings is concerned.This is now evident in him signing a centre back he admired from when he played against and a player from the team he just left, I’d say it’s unlikely we sign either of these if Garner isn’t here.In a nutshell, people can stop pretending Sandgaard is an evil ruler who won’t let managers sign players now and just get behind the team5:58 onwards says otherwise. It turns out it may have even be TS who I heard say it would be ridiculous if Garner didn’t have say, but I’m about to head out and don’t have the time to find it
agreed Oz but I’m giving TS his day in the sun when I’ve read all this tosh about him. Exciting season ahead4 -

Not sure we can yet.Scoham said:We must be close to the point where the Marquis and Bostock rumours can be written off…
Neither of the first two signings are in those positions.We would also probably need to offload players before bringing players like this in.
Bostock would know Garner from Palace so if he did sign it would be with Ben's blessing.
I always thought these two and Jack Payne might be triallists rather than signings0 -
Particularly as we haven't spent anything yet!ElliotCAFC said:I bet Ipswich fans are furious with us buying the league already0 -
The Sandinistas are out in force and sifting through some old perceived slights to throw into a thread, that had just got interesting with the 2 new signings. How the 20 ton irony bucket isn’t hitting them between the eyes when they moan about moaning about a done to death recruitment topic is beyond me.Only hoping there’s some more quality signings coming in soon and as long as they are taking the team forward that’s a good start.0

Not expecting any more this week at this point. Close on a few but unlikely to be announced prior to the squad leaving for Spain.24

That Marquis deal is really rumbling on….3 -
Can I just check…. 150+ pages or rumours, and not a single serious mention of O’Connell or Egbo?Feel very let down :-(1

Disappointed if that's it for the week. Need to get a few more on the Spain trip to integrate and bond. Not a major issue but would be nice.1

George Dobson will be one of the first names in the starting 11 unless he gets injured.!NabySarr said:
Wouldn’t say no to him, but in Fraser I think we have a similar player who is a level above. Could they play in the same midfield? Swindon had Williams LCM and Payne RCM so maybe it could work in league 1 with Fraser and Payne ahead of Dobson.Callumcafc said:Jack Payne is an interesting one. Thought he was destined for big things after his break out year for Huddersfield in the season they got promoted from the Championship.
Then got loaned out to Oxford, Blackburn and Bradford who were all League One at the time.
Unsure why he landed in League Two. Had previously proved he could do it in the third tier. A bright spark that fizzled out? Attitude problems? I’m not sure.0 -

That's a pisser. It's like when you're having a really good dream and the sodding alarm clock brings you into reality.

Sorry that wasn’t very clear, I meant ahead of him as in on the pitch playing further forward with Dobson as our holding midfielderSouthLondonisRed said:

I have been saying that the manager has to have the casting vote since Nigel didn't appear to. Have no problem with the Owner being hands on at our level as we have been a basket case for quite a while and he doesn't want even more of his cash squandered.
Between Ben Garner and Steve Gallen they are abreast of just about every player from Championship to League 2. The data box can highlight stats but the network of phone calls and tweets remain the best way to communicate plus on their travels watching games and chatting to managers, Scouts and coaches.
I knew as soon as we got one signing, the optimism would rise and the feel good bus would be on its way. We need strong characters, Athletes with pace or skill. Both Mandela and Eoghan still need to show that their early promise which brought them to the attention of England youth and Celtic respectively can still be realized.
Let it be with Charlton.

I wonder if there is a Fanny tingle anywhere in the house... ...eh @Fanny Fanackapan0

Interesting perhaps that our first signings were both defenders - could be coincidence of course but I like the idea of building a solid back 4 to give our midfield more freedom to press on, though I imagine Dobson will be kept on as that extra shield.
I'd say both signings are decent and show that we are definitely looking at building an actual team that will last for more than a single season but part of me would still like to see the kind of statement signing that would show real intent.1 -
Are you American @ForeverAddickted ?ForeverAddickted said:I know Gallen always says that we dont sign players based on position first, but more when they become available.
But its awesome we're sorting the defence out now rather than later.
The one word that could make me kill indiscriminately and I know where you live;)6
