Charlton Summer Transfer Rumours 2024
Comments
-
OS has 24 first team players listed. Although Anderson, Kanu, Leaburn & TC are U21 they should really be considered as first team players in this scenario. With Ness & Fraser most likely to be off & Assiimwe and Z Mitchell more on the fringes (for now) that still leaves us with a core squad of 20 outfield players who will be wanting to start most of the gamesHenry Irving said:
Haven't checked but not sure we have the biggest squad.Athletico Charlton said:We have just about the biggest squad in the league. About 30 players. Currently they can’t all even fit on a training pitch match.This demoralises some who are not only told they are out of the managers plans but are so far out of those plans they don’t even get a look in.Hence we need to shift a number of players before bringing any new ones in..
A lot of our squad are U21 and we only have two keepers.
Otherwise I think we have around 18 or 19 players.
Probably not a lot more than Jones wants, just not the type he wants.0 -
And Hector, yet apparently he's a Championship standard player ,😂😂North Lower Neil said:
Funny how a few of our recent players can't seem to find a club - Penney, Bonne, Kirk, Lualua.ForeverAddickted said:
He's still available...Mrkinski said:
Unbelievable Bexley - next you will be suggesting we go for this great young midfielder, that would fit in perfectly, Charlie Kirk.RonnieMoore said:
We have a creative midfielder if he don’t leave who in this system will boss it and create and score goals … Scott FraserMuttleyCAFC said:
If they did, you would be a bit concerend about their ambition.golfaddick said:You wont be able to spend £2m+ on a single player as players that command that sort of fee are in the Championship & wont drop down to League 1.
Assuming we got anything near £8m from Gomez then I'd expect most will go on reducing debt with a bit held back for January.
However, we still need a creative midfielder otherwise this summers rebuild will be all for nowt.
Almost as if we were signing absolute chaff.2 -
With 18 playeros in a match day squad, including two GKs, 22 players isnt a huge overload IMHO.fenaddick said:

Two players for each position other than 3 for GK seems about right.0 -
Rumour that Docherty has been made captain.4

I kind of agree but the balance still doesn't feel quite right to me. 6 strikers for 2 positions is bloated but that's where we have to be because of injuries meanwhile we have 6 midfielders (including Fraser) for 3 positions and we have 3 RWB's and 3 LWB's.Henry Irving said:

Lloyd Jones as vice capt perhaps more interesting. Puts to bed the idea that Jones doesn’t rate him and won’t start him8

He'll have to take a pay cut then.RonnieMoore said:
No one in Scotland can afford his wages that’s what the problem so unless we pay a % he not going to Scotland where he wants to move tosillav nitram said:
Apart from Dundee, has there been any interest?Swisdom said:
Fraser doesn't want to be here. His family are all in Scotland now and he misses them. He can't move unless he takes a hefty cut in pay as nobody up there will pay him what we do. He has to choose between his family and his wallet.RonnieMoore said:

His lack of action in pre season says it all - he is not fancied and would be best placed being moved on
Or play with the U23's all season.0 - Sponsored links:

Numbers, about right.
On the strikers Leaburn is still recovering, Aneke, although I don't think its ever been mentioned on CL, has fitness issues, Campbell and Kanu are both young.4 -

You moan about non-rumour posts but when there is one you make yet another feeble "joke".
It's boring, it's not even slightly amusing and it is hypocritical.

Funny then he couldn't get a regular place in any of the teams he was loaned/transferred to. One of those young players who believed all the initial hype about himself and then thought further development actually requires some hard work.RonnieMoore said:

It will be good to have a manager and coaching and scouting teams that gets players on the way up rather than down - the jury is still out with the present lot.LargeAddick said:

He also didn't fit Ipswich's system and as far as we know there hasn't been interest from any other EFL side as he doesn't fit their systems either, classic Ronnie !sm said:

Need a couple of decent prem loans to add some more quality I think. Always a gamble I know but we have had a couple of decent ones over the past few seasons.
Any news on that QPR goalkeeper? Seems to have gone quiet on that one.0 -
Start of the season 10rh Aug. Yes the window shuts later but surely the hope is to get the approximate starting side sorted before we, you know, start playing actual league matches?YannTheMann said:

It felt like we lacked quality, and there’s only ten days left to sort things out.1 -

Absolutely right Ronald, Jones is clearly a man with vision. He played the long game so expertly that he managed to sign Fraser for Charlton two whole years before being appointed Manager then didn't play him at all just to throw us off the scent.RonnieMoore said:

What is the latest on a new keeper?
1 -
I think it’s worth remembering that it’s not Frasers fault that we offered him very good wages when we signed him or that his player profile doesn’t fit in with what Jones wants. His star has diminished in brightness since we signed him and the prospect of anything above league one has diminished with it. Hard to shift him because of the contract he’s on, that WE gave him. Not many league one clubs or his preferred Scotland can match it. Zero chance of Championship interest. None of which is the players fault. It’s a totally unsatisfactory situation but we shouldn’t be blaming Fraser for it.16
