Probably very unfair on that player (whoever they are) as they will be associated with an unpopular decision and expected to match May's numbers, fairly or not, but May going and nothing about a replacement at all would be a PR nightmare for our "new" CEO...
Different type of player but he won over the fans.....and some.7 -
Birmingham, really? I grew up in coventry and was pleased to say i'd never been to birmingham until this current job, now 3 years ago. And I thought Cov was a shithole 😂0

NabySarr said:So 2 of the favourites for promotion are both in for him. Can I again ask why on earth we are letting him go?
Perhaps the question to ask is what the three clubs that want Alfie (Charlton, Birmingham and Huddersfield) have had in common in their ownerships the last few years.
Why are the well run clubs not in for him? Why is it the ones with money to spend but are yet to prove they can spend it wisely?1 -

Birmingham have shitloads of money so are probably just signing him because they can and it makes a statement
But for Huddersfield surely you can see it’s a smart signing that fits the system they are playing and the manager they have?I’m pretty confident whichever one he signs for will finish above us, and the other probably still will anyway4 -

To answer the question… Depends how far you want to go back but if the club was well run, we’d have never resigned Chuks for a start. We’d have a proper target man that can stay fit, hold up the ball and keep the pressure off the defenders.
We would have prioritised bringing in better than resigning Hector and Thomas because they were just there and we’d already blown most of the budget on Alfie… etc etc
Mitchell and Edwards etc. are not sexy signings like a goalscorer is. But they’ll be just as impactful in terms of winning games.3 -

Alfie May guarantees goals and ergo.... points.2 -

Alfie May didn’t guarantee goals between December and February (1 goal in a 15 game stretch) and we didn’t pick up a win during that time. That’s the point, he goes off the boil and we’re in the shit.
Spread responsibility around the squad and insulate yourself from that happening again.7 - Sponsored links:

If you play May in his best position he will score goals. In that run, Appleton was being a complete idiot and playing him on the wing or up front on his own18 -
It’d be very nice to stop all this sniping amongst fans with the arrival of 5/6 starting 11 quality players, just so we could discuss something else for a while.7

Croydon said:Scoham said:Mendonca In Asdas said:The sun is shining, the birds are singing, rather than having zero rumours on here today, and 200 posts about Alfie May, can we not just close the thread for a day?
Cawley said we wanted signings sorted first so we should be close to at least one new striker.
Ahadme, Etete and Godden have been mentioned, any other realistic alternatives? I’m ignoring the strikers linked by nonsense Twitter accounts.1 -
Re Maatsen his player passport will show all clubs he’s been with since he was 12 and all will get a slice as they played a part in his development. But only if he move overseas

If you are using pro-rata to win your argument then Ahadma who we are rumoured to be after scored 11 in 19 games last season, so hes a perfect replacement for Alfie, he would of scored 26,PopIcon said:I posted this on the Alfie May thread yesterday, but i thought i'd share it again here.
Charlton don't do promotions without a goal scorer, it's a fact. To move May on without a proven goal scorer coming in lacks ambition and we are right to question Jones and the owners.
28/29 - Fred Whitlow 26

18/19 - Lyle Taylor 25
*Melrose's debut was on the 29th of March against Millwall in a 2-2 draw at the Draw
I'm not using pro-rata to win an argument, just facts.
Melrose scored 17 goals the following season for Charlton. In the league above and against much harder opposition. He was a proven goal scorer.
I'm telling you now, Charlton won't go up without a 20+ goal scorer.

However, for me it goes deeper. Its not just about losing our top goalscorer but it's the fact we still need to sign a number of players that can score from midfield as well as create a number of chances for others. Last season we had neither. I realise we signed Berry but we need more than just one new midfielder.
Until I see 3 or 4 of these I fear we are in for another disappointing season.8 - Sponsored links:

Its not a fact is it, fact is Charlton got promoted in 85 without a 20+ striker, doesn't matter what Melrose did the season after.0 -
