    Where's the replacement for Stockley? Can't just have Bonne and Leaburn, Aneke is out more than he is in?

    Holden has had nothing to do with these sales, no manager in his right mind would let seven players and replaced with four two of which are left backs 
    Of course he did, he took the job knowing full well what the plan is.

    You know Charlton have fallen down the pecking order when players leave for a non-League club, out of choice.

    Holden said and I quote "no player leaves without his sayso" at Bromley Addicks

    So unless he looked us all in the eyes and lied(in which case I would lose all respect for him as he doesn't seem that type) I believe he has been happy to let them go

    Maybe he feel Clare can cover at CB or Mitchell is adequate cover.

    Innis, Ness, Hector and I reckon Elwere will take the fourth CB space. Plus Clare can play there in a 3. So not end of the world. Got rid of 3 cbs wages of the books who wernt playing at all and give 2 youngsters a chance. We are not getting in top 6 so dunno what everybody wants. Until ownership is sorted get used to it.

    Getting these players off the books is more for the potless Methven takeover, imo, so they can scrape over the line for money sufficiently to run the club to meet EFL requirements. 

    Sure, some of the incomings were needed, but they are loans. What happens when all the loans end ? 

    All this guff about billionaires - why would billionaires use the Methven for their business ? Its just a distraction/cover to the shite takeover. We would all love it to be true, but what are the actual chances ? They are just spinning a line imo.

    Inniss track record of injuries is scary plus a red is never far away 

    ness has only just come in and cant 100% be relied on for rest of the season every game

    hector hasnt played in god knows how long and even reading sheff weds posts on twitter they say hes 4-6 weeks away at least of being fully fit

    elewere got found out in the cup last time he properly played so noway can he be expected to come in

    clare can do a job but we have seen at times his positioning is not good enough

    we need AT LEAST 1 more CB in !!

    Holden said when he joined that the squad was too big and imbalanced. I think, assuming we get Edwards, we’re a cb light but other than that we look more balanced. 

    It’s all slightly irrelevant as we’re not going up and we’re not going down. So signing anyone for longer than the rest of this season when the ownership is so uncertain seems pointless. 

    And anyone telling me that it was worth keeping any of the players we’ve got rid  of bar O’Connell isn’t being honest with themselves.
    Holden’s contract is up at the end of the season and there are no guarantees that he will be here for next season. Why would you move out seven players, bring in four and leave yourself light in two. We have brought in another midfielder where we have more than enough, we now have two strikers and three CB’s a twenty year old, one who is an accident waiting to happen and the third hasn’t played football for a year. 
    With Innis reputation we wouldn’t’ be surprised if he got injured or sent in the not to far distant future then we have a 20 year old who playing at Torquay at the start of the season

    Lavelle is a loan, what a shambles really. Why on earth can we not just sell Kirk and lavelle ?

    Got to feel sorry for DH in all this, doubt he’s had much input or he surely wouldn’t have left himself so thin at the back.
    Just my opinion, but he came in not as a successful applicant to a vacancy, but as part of a team brought in with clear short term objectives. He is a good orator who knows what to say to fans, but he’ll be fully onboard with all of this. 
    100%.
    There's been a few quotes from various managers or observers that this team has massively under achieved, not from what i've seen, they are simply not good enough. Whatever you think of the reasons for the clear out, it's not before time, just have a look at the defensive record. Our most consistent players have been Dobson, Sessegnon and Fraser, Saki has just return to form and Innis and Ness have laid their bodies on the line since Holden took over. We can all see Leaburn's potential and the kids coming through are going to be better than the people moved out of the club today, those players needed to go and I'm glad to see the back of them and hopefully Sandgaard.

    So you don’t foresee any injuries or suspensions ?

    Sorry who's the two left backs ?
    Kane and Penny 

    Kane filled in as left back because Sessegnon failed a fitness test.
    We have one bona fide LB in Penney despite Sess being decent at LB.

    We surely won’t go with just 3 senior centre backs for the rest of the season (one who has hardly played over the last 2 years).

    Someone else will come in. Time for Patrick Bauer to come home.

    Because they are shit and the only person that would actually pay for them is the son of our owner?

    Because our owner(s) want to / have to reduce our wage bill and no one is interested in taking their contracts on

    I appreciate what Holden says but the longer it goes on without us signing the more worried I will get. Especially when the sales are happening such as JFC.
    Totally agree. I thought we had learned the lesson of leaving our business until the last minute. Other clubs, Plymouth, Bolton, Barnsley etc seem to be able to sign players, why not us? Beginning to think we have been sold a pup. 
    Woof, woof.

    In all honesty I don’t think any of the departing players will be missed with the possible exception of OConnell as cover . The better players AMB , JW, Ness, Sess,  Dobson,  Frazer , CBT , JRS and Leaburn  remain and with the new additions the squad will probably be stronger albeit lighter in numbers.

    Sorry lads been away for 15 minutes as just been getting ready for bed.

    We sold anyone else to Burton in that time?
    Golfie's gone on loan, option to buy...
    I think a change of scene will do him good. He goes missing in defence and has become too predictable in his attacks.
