That is an away gameFortune 82nd Minute said:
Do that sort of tackle in an away game, getting all the home fans to their feet screaming and the home manager shouting at the referee , and there is always a danger you will walk.cafcfan1990 said:

If he was definitely better than Morgan then Pompey probably wouldn’t have released him.Sambcafc said:
No not really… McGrandles had never played higher than Lincoln. Tunnecliffe bring a significant amount of experience at a higher level. Like I said not a marquee signing but good business on a free I think. Definitely a better player than Mcgrandles/Morgan/Payne.RC_CAFC said:

Nothing new😂sillav nitram said:Just been told we’ll be signing some players?
Since 2013/2014 how many players have played for Charlton
if you take one day equals one player and begin on New Year’s Day it would be about the first week of July.🤣😎got to laugh at that.0 -
Steady Eddie, cog in the machine type midfielders are always useful to have, albeit not the kind of signing that get blood pumping. I wouldn't be disappointed if he signed but I hope that he's there more to make up numbers now Gilbey and Morgan have gone rather than being a sign of our ambitions.1

This smacks of Andrew Crofts all over again. Him and Foley, best midfield ever2

There's more chance of us signing Brian May than Acworth being right.Callumcafc said:Ackers says Alfie May will have his medical tomorrow.2 -
Adding someone like Tunnicliffe and probably another CM , makes me wonder if there's legs in the idea that Aaron Henry will be loaned out?2

1 yellow last season in 30 games and has never been sent off in his career. Plus the tackle in the video was superb.Fortune 82nd Minute said:

Hopefully. And maybe we can move Payne on also and find a better replacement.MarcusH26 said:Adding someone like Tunnicliffe and probably another CM , makes me wonder if there's legs in the idea that Aaron Henry will be loaned out?2 -
A game like Cambridge away where we were bombarded with long balls he was immaculate. I’d love to see the stats, but he seemed to win every duel, and held the line very well. Player like Ness (who’s much better technically) is nowhere near Innis aerially. Not yet, anyway. None of our CBS are.talalsrightfoot said:
I trust most of our current cbs instead on Innis tbf even aeriallyJamesSeed said:
Different type of player, Inniss. We need a big aerially dominant player to replace him. You wouldn’t stick TT on a big centre forward. Or, arguably, Ness.talalsrightfoot said:
Agreed back up fpr sure from what i uave seen but he was also better than one of our first choice cbs in Innis last seasonshirty5 said:
Back up player if the club has any ambition to go up. He was off to Forest Green in January before O’Connell went to Wrexham.Red_Chester said:Terrel Thomas has replied to the isted announcement saying you surely have more in your locker….I suspect he has signed a new contract2 -

What we haven't had, since the ESI window is a clear idea on what we are trying to achieve. It's been a squad designed by committee with no thought about how the pieces fit together.
If Holden has a plan, and the freedom to execute it, and wants/needs a player like Tunnicliffe to make it work brilliant.18 -
Okay, I'll wait to be convinced!1

Shouldnt this be the case with any players going into a new season?Leuth said:Okay, I'll wait to be convinced!

Wouldn't be against moving Payne on if we could get a high quality starting replacement, not really sure what role Payne will have beyond cup games and sub appearances out wide.0 -
Its not hard to envisage a system that has Dobson retaining his deeper defensive role as well as hopefully a bit more creativity and goal threat from more attacking midfielders (like Fraser and maybe new faces).Cafc43v3r said:

In that type of system, midfielders who are going to do lots of running, hassling, a bit of busy work to tie it all together would be useful, and Tunnicliffe would tick that box.
I don't know if this link is genuine and I don't know what system/formation we're looking at next season but when you look back at the success of Powell and early Bowyer the sum was often greater than its parts (as good as those parts were.)
In itself this signing would be at most just whelming, but IF it means Holden is actually setting an agenda and not being told "here's some signings, find a formation to fit them into" its got to be positive.
That "if" is doing a lot of lifting though I admit.1 - Sponsored links:

If and again a big if there any truth in this I can see Mcgrandles going back out on loan again or even allowed to leave on a free .. Holden inherited McGrandles , Payne and Henry and if he can bring in a better option but similar player to either of these he will .

If Tunnicliffe is our marquee midfield signing then it’s bad. If it’s to bolster numbers, give options and add experience then I see it as decent enough. I think we need to reserve judgment until we see the final makeover of our midfield.Cafc43v3r said:

Did they "release" him though. I expect he came to the end of his contract & decided to look for pastures new. Did Pompey offer him a new contract? If so was it on better terms than better, the same or worse ? Article says he doesn't hang around long a clubs (like lots of players, Lyle Taylor one of them) so he might gave turned down a new contract.Scoham said:

Also this is just paper talk so most likely just bollox.

We've only seen a brief glimpse of him but he was highly rated at Lincoln and apparently did well on loan at Cambridge.
I think D.H. will have been aware of his form/abilities at Cambridge, have a look at him pre season and decide if we keep or move him on.3 -
I get your thinking. But I would personally rather give McGrandles another go as he was superb at Lincoln in their play off campaign, had the third highest tackles in the league the next year and by all accounts turned Cambridge’s season around. He hasn’t been fairly judged yet and I hope we can see him next season in a Charlton shirt showing his true potential.Sambcafc said:

Tunnecliffe I think would be an upgrade on what we had last season in the middle of the park. I would certainly welcome the signing if true!6
-
Assume Holden remembers Tunnicliffe from the days when he held a season ticket at old Trafford.
The only issue is that it’s a lot easier to look good when surrounded by class players at Man Utd vs when playing in a team of free transfers at the Valley.
Hopefully he’s not another Kilkenny.1 -
Underwhelmed by this one.2
