Charlton Summer Transfer Rumours 2024

I have been critical of NJ but have to admit that he seems to be assembling a squad that will suit his style of play, which will become clearer as the friendlies progress, so well done NJ, the SMT and Owners.
I know most will disagree but I hope that Scott Fraser will become our playmaker, he was good when he first came to us but deteriorated due to his injury, but is now injury free.

Yes I'd keep Fraser as well, he's not the workhorse, but he has a decisive pass on him.

For me there’s two big questions on Fraser - does he want to be here? He appeared to want to return to Scotland. Secondly does he have the fitness and can he play at the intensity Jones demands from his players? I’m not convinced as fitness and work rate have been some of his biggest weaknesses.

Teddy Bishop and Hylton playing against Dartford, guessing that is Danny Hylton? 

Could be Jabari Hylton maybe? Danny Hylton doesn't seem like the right kind of fit at this stage if his career.

Danny Hylton is interesting. Might be worth a 6 month contract if we're short up front for the first half of the season 

Or as an option that allows Daniel Kanu to go out on loan, especially if Godden is ahead of him

I can’t see how Danny Hylton would offer more than Kanu at this stage on his career.

Genuinely don’t know much about Bishop. Any clues ?

Played at Ipswich and at Lincoln last season central Mid made over 200 apps 

Looks like Danny Hylton, in the pink bib.

Danny Hylton isn't League One level anymore. No thanks, hard pass.

Henry shared a rumour that he was on trial, I found an article on him, here’s what I posted at the time:

Was looking into what type of midfielder Bishop is, there’s a good article on his three years at Lincoln:

https://staceywest.net/2024/02/21/super-ted-the-rebirth-of-ted-bishop/

To summarise he was often played out wide, more recently he’s played centrally and they’re getting the best out of him to the point he’s seen as a top L1, borderline Championship player.

What else stands out are his dribbling stats, clearly a strength of his. Having a CM who can carry the ball well, drive us forward or win free kicks is currently a gap in our midfield. Aribo did it in Bowyer’s team and it adds that threat centrally, taking pressure off the wing backs in the 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 diamond formations NJ favours.

Just had a look around the league one forums to try and gauge how the fans were feeling and saw this comment. To the point and accurate. 

Spineless wasters is an incredibly accurate description of us in recent seasons 

What forum is this from?

I’d guess Lincoln.

Lincoln I’d say…….going by the name that is.
