When does our released list get announced?

Was May 13th last year, 10th the year before.

So some time in the next couple of weeks but who knows?

The Dobson situation is the interesting one - if he's just off to Ferhervar then it won't hold anything up, if there really is any attempt to speak to Ferhervar and try to see if anything can be done, it might hold it all up.

about an hour ago. I got an email from the club telling me all the news. Didn't you get one ? 

In all seriousness, Nathan Jones said he is speaking to every player who is out of contract on a 1-1 basis today. Hopefully we'll get some news by the end of this week.

Patience is a virtue. 

'Patience is a virtue'. Definitely. Golfie.

I mean, look how long you waited for us to sign a 20 goal striker to fire us to promotion.
And blow me, we finally got one!

Then finished in our lowest position since television was invented. 

Saw Joe Taylor play for Colchester v Gills earlier in season. Stand out performer. Also winger called Fevier was good too for Colchester. Gills have  a young defender called Ogie who looked very promising.

Jack Wakely
Kane Vincent-Young

Loan players returning to parent clubs:
Chem Campbell
Saxon Earley
Freddie Potts
Dale Taylor
Nigel Lonwijk
Gideon Kodua

163 League apperances, 9 goals

That longwijk looked pretty good as did their other centre back.

Longwijk started 9 games for Wycombe and still managed as many clean sheets as we did in 46 games.

Longwijk impressed me too. Played a fair few games on loan at Plymouth last season. Seems he's out of contract at Wolves if wiki is to be believed.

Thomas Holy has always had good games against us. Better keeper than what we've already got ?

one of the giants of the game lol .. thing is has playing at woeful Carlisle irretrievably damaged his confidence ?

Just an aside .. Ipswich look odds on to get to the Prem with very much the same squad that was promoted to the Champ last season (or the one before last if yer no wot I meen)
IF 'we' can afford it, transfer fees, salaries, the lesson should be .. sign the best quality available players of top L1/Champ standard.
Perhaps a statement of the bleedin obvious, but it's essential i m o to think longer term than has been the case at CAFC for far too long.
The Ipswich players this last season have been relentless, they work so hard on and off the ball, they have a super captain in Sam Morsy, an irresistible midfield force (only 14 yellow cards so far in 2023/24), no real superstars, and most importantly have a very talented manager.
A start would be to find a way to keep George Dobson and (of course) Alfie May and to allow Nathan Jones a BIG say (the main say) in who we sign

Luke Berry would be a great signing.

He certainly talks a good game, let’s hope he’s got the finances and the necessary power to achieve all that he suggests, if he has and he’s as good as his talk, then it should be an interesting next season.

Good article. We won't be signing the players mentioned in the article, we have to find the next version of them.

Fans' will feel comforted that we won't see more signings like we have become used to over the years....

“If people want to take the easy option then don’t come to Charlton – anymore. If you want to cruise or you want to have an easy life, or you want to just be okay, then do not come to Charlton. That’s it.”

That was my thinking too. We might sign the odd one to two players Jones knows well to add experience and leadership, but he wants signings to improve the starting 11 and wants them to be good athletes. I can’t see him filling the squad with 30+ year olds.
