Gayle has spent the past year-and-a-half with Stoke but only managed to find the net three times in 50 matches for the Potters.MarcusH26 said:I'd happily take Gayle until the end of the season tbh. Would be a pretty useful option to have.
Think bar the lack of a No10 I like most of the window , the owners have clearly realised the squad wasn't good enough as is and have given the budget to go and correct it with players that are proven at this level.

I’d put that down to a lack of lower league football knowledge than anything else, especially when we’ve came across most of these players a few times.HastingsRed said:

Add in Bakinson, Fiorini and Ladapo on loan.
It’s one of the strongest windows in the league.1 -

Yes he is a Coventry/Dobbo type. We don't have an effective 10 in the squad now.Todds_right_hook said:

Need him to sign a new contract or realistically we will have to sell him this summerjacob_CAFC said:
Might be easier to keep hold of Leaburn seeing as he's not played a lot this seasonCovered_End_Lad said:
Highly doubt Leaburn will. Hector should be back early april but with only a few weeks of the season left at that point probably wont have enough time to get match sharp. Wouldn't be surprised if we never see either of them in a Charlton shirt again. Doubt we will renew Hector's deal and I would imagine Leaburn will be sold in the summer.SouthWest_Addicks said:Slightly on a tangent but will either Hector or Leaburn kick a bill in anger before the end of the season?0 -
Miles had the same injury as Reece James. James rested it and then came back too soon and did the same thing again.
We saw that and said "You're having the surgery and we'll fix it properly". Reece James wishes he'd done the same I believe
For once we are taking our time to get him fixed so I just don't think it's worth the risk - we'll see him next season hopefully.....it will be like having a new signing :-)28 -
Still, that’s probably no worse than having an ineffective 10 in the squadSouthbank said:Todds_right_hook said:

As we should do, rushing players back is never helpful. Leaburn is a big asset for Charlton going forward.Swisdom said:Miles had the same injury as Reece James. James rested it and then came back too soon and did the same thing again.

Not sure. He’ll have to play to prove his fitness after a fairly serious injury. Otherwise I doubt anyone would pay big bucks on a gamble.Covered_End_Lad said:

At least we've held on to George...for the time being, just get him to sign up the improved offer of the pay rise and contract extension, fail that Charlton and we have lost our influential captain, stop patting yourself on the back and show your worth...3

At last the window is over and sentences starting with ‘Understand…’ can settle back to sensible levels (zero unless Fabrizo Romano).0

No doubt when we only manage to beat Derby 1-0 on Saturday, people on here will moan that our new players are not good enough 😂1

most of those players were in league 1 last year0 -
Most is a bit of a stretch isn’t it although I bow to your superior knowledge. Even if they did play against us and I was there to witness it they obviously didn’t impress me on the day. Sometimes I’ll post on the match thread that I liked the look of the oppo centre half, number 12, so will remember his name but I’m not au fait with every name on the oppositions team sheet.esseffect said:

As far as I can see CBT was the only consistent and contributing attacking threat that we have lost, while we appear to have moved away from using wingers, at least for now. On that basis, if I was asked would I like to see Ladapo switch for CBT that switch in formation in mind, I would have said yes all day long and am still confident Ladapo will come good.
Fiorini is allegedly a decent CAM. If true, he will be a missing piece to the jigsaw. If not, we will likely see 3-1-4-2 with a CDM behind two CMs than a 3-5-2 with two CDMs and a CAM. Either way, I had not heard of any of the players we brought in but have liked the glimpses we have seen of REG, Gillesphy, Coventry and Bakinson thus far. Very early days, but I sense a step up in quality from what we have let go and that is what we were demanding.Hope the window proves a 7-8/10. At the moment, genuinely it is a ?/10 for me.2 -
"Well Jeff that was certainly one of the transfer windows of all time."

I didn't expect us to get Collins or anyone similar on a permanent, it's a difficult sell for a player, knowing that at best you just face a dull mid table finish.
Most of the transfers make sense on paper, I still don't understand the Fiorini one, which seems a waste of a loan spot. Yes he's more of a creative midfielder than most of our midfielders, but I'd rather have someone more of a pure No 10/second striker as a loan signing.2 -
The way I see it is, if I look at the two lists above, in and out, would I want to swap all of them back again, the answer is a resounding no!Athletico Charlton said:Better than recent windows as recent windows have been so bad and set a crazy low bar.
8 out, 8 in, so end up with the same numbers but it wasn't numbers but quality that was the issue so that isn't an issue per se.
We lost CBT who I reckon almost everyone would say is a L1 elite player. We gained Coventry who has the potential to be.
The others mainly look like League One average Joe's with the hope that 2-3 are a bit better than that. I hope I am wrong and that more of the new chaps prove L1 elite status.
Fingers crossed Aneke is back soon and can last 7-8 games to give us a chance of getting points for safety.
In. Out
Bakinson. C Campbell
Fiorini. Fraser
Coventry. CBT
Ladapo. Tedic
Ward. Walker
Ramsey. Kirk
Gillesphey. Abankwah
REG. McGrandles
Will be interesting to see what happens in the summer as we should still have the £6-800K planned to be spent this Jan burning a hole in our pocket.
I would probably call the window a 6.5 out of 10. Could do better.
I wonder how many 'Elite 8' players, as the board identify, we currently have on the books.0 -

I'm surprised it's permanent. Seemed to be very highly rated a year or two ago when he was thrust into the first team. Doesn't seemed to have pulled up any tress since though. Good luck Deji. Hopefully we have a chunky sell on clause in the deal.1
