    Well that was a great 9 minute spell, imagine what he can do over 90! But seriously, he looks very tasty  :)

    I quickly googled his market value and 3 came up straight away....... £300-500k, £650k and £750k........ so maybe we'll start at £250k and they'll counter with £800k......?

    Here's hoping.....

    Will start with two...
    We won't get good signings or value in Jan
    Sell one of our players but get him back on loan :)
    My mate is a (insert club name) fan and says he's good 

    Their fans on twitter say he's crap.

    It's 2 January and Burton have signed 8 players already; why are our lot doing nothing?

    Good we've signed a player in that position but we need a striker, that should have been the priority.

    Signing a (insert position) means (insert current player in that position) is as good as sold.


    Player X threw his shirt into the crowd after the game/applauded all the home areas when he was substituted/isn't in the 18 today due to "illness". He's off.
  • I had a ramble about it on the Charlton podcast, Charlton Chronicles, the one thing I don't want to see is us signing championship players. Unless it's a loan who is hungry to break into the team to be acknowledged by his parent club. 

    Whenever we sign these championship rejects, they usually fail to deliver. All our best business in league1 recently, has mainly been picking up standout players for a cheap fee from clubs around us or below.

    Alfie May, CBT, the snake, Lloyd Jones, Ricky Holmes, Dobson. 

    I don't know what these scouts and recruitment specialists are paid to do, but I question their experience and football knowledge. Cause if we have one of the highest budgets in the league, and we can't identify the best players in this league then we have some serious issues. 

    Far too much cash splunked on has beens and players who don't have the character to play for this club.
    And yet signing Championship rejects seems to be Andy Scott’s only strategy, leading to two of the most disappointing seasons in our recent history.
    Scott does not chose the players we sign thars 100% down to Jones now 
    Utter rubbish. If you’re right this SMT have offloaded all accountability onto Jones. That is extremely weak leadership and smacks of self preservation above success of the club. That is so damaging, taking big salaries but having no accountability. Shameful!
    You was told when Jones joined he wanted the title of manager not head coach... He wanted full say who joined and who left the club..... He is in charge of recruitment the players we sign and the players we release or sell.….. Scott and Rodwell do the talking to the player agent and club concerning transfer fee, contracts, agent fees and signing on fees, bonuses etc 
    Says the person who repeatedly said that CM would have no role at the club whilst all the time he was CEO.

    I’m pretty sure they’ll be more outs than ins and we won’t be paying any fees. 
    There will be only two max coming in the Notts Co kid will be a six figure sum I believe he may be out of contract in the summer so may get him for around 300/400,000.

    By Notts County you mean the 27 year old 😂

    Way off, mate - oldest professional club in the world.

    He sounds like a Ricky Holmes type of signing, hopefully!
    Hopefully not a Jack Payne…

    I’ve become really sceptical about our signings, probably because of the convey belt of averageness we’ve signed over the years, 
    We sign a "highly rated" player for £600k. A year later they're being loaned out after they flop.

    Peterborough sign a "highly rated" player for £600k. 18 months later he's sold to Brentford for £5m plus a 20% sell on clause.
    Not sure it's gone quite as well for Peterborough this season mind!

    The way we're playing at the moment Crowley could work in the same role as Berry. Berry has had a lot of space to pick passes since we changed our shape instead of just being expected to pop up on the end of every cutback and loose ball outside the opposition box and that would suit Crowley. The one concern I do have though is a fair few of the goals we've conceded from outside the box this season have had Berry making a fairly half-hearted attempt at closing down the player shooting. Berry is meant to be a decent combination of a creative player with determination and an engine to let him help out defensively and we still struggle there, if Crowley comes in and offers similar or less I'd worry a little on turnovers
    And like Berry, Crowley is also a passenger when the team is out of possession. Near where near a £400k valuation imo.

    Need some wide players who can stretch play, like CBT used to do and T Campbell did well at yesterday. 
    Campbell was playing as a striker not winger... We are not playing wingers in this system

    Prefer Aasgard to Crowley, more potential and bigger. Both seeing out contracts, minimal fee.  Of the three, Berry has worst press but goals, assists may get a fee from Champ side.

    I'd sign 2 wingers if that's the way we're playing, as Dixon needs time to adjust and Small is a wingback played out of position, he's doing well but it's not a long term fix IMO. Then you have TC, 2 more wingers and you move Hylton to the coaching room permanently, and sell Edun and loan out Asiimwe to make the room. 

    When fit you have Edwards, Small, Ramsay, Watson and then TC, New W, New W and Dixon/Leaburn/Kanu/A WB as the emergency 4th choice winger, and Leaburn, Godden, Ahadme, Kanu and Aneke as the strikers. 

    Then you sign a 10 to compete/replace Berry, Docherty, Coventry, Anderson, Taylor, Campbell as the midfielders. 

    All a pipedream anyway

    Aasgard will go to the Championship, he’s very highly rated and we’re not Ipswich or Birmingham unfortunately.

    Sorry to burst your bubbles but looking at Jones's comments about the January window, the only incoming will be a keeper and I think it's something they have been working on for a while. As for outgoings, loans only as nobody will be bashing on our door to sign permanents. 
  • Not sold on Crowley, feels similar to the business we've done over the last few seasons.

    It would be so us if just as we start to get hopeful this season we see Leaburn, Jones and Small exit in January!!! And then listen to the SMT tell us that the replacements we have lined up strengthen us 😂 

    The departures could be as interesting as the incomings.

    Jack Payne is my guess but add in any of the ayers from Swindon plus Alex gilbey

    We still aren’t playing with wingers though. It’s a bit of a hybrid formation but defensively it’s still a back 5. What we need is an attacking right wing back option, so then we’ve got the balance of having one attacking and one defensive option on each side (once Ramsay is back) 

    A 10 with a bit of pace/dribbling ability would be ideal, one that could maybe do a job out wide if we did switch to wingers in-game 

    And a new LCB. Probably tricky to find as good left footed defenders aren’t easy to find in a January window 

    Those 3 positions strengthened and I’d be very happy. Goalkeeper would be even better but I think that will be one for the summer 
  • Is Terry Taylor injured or out of favour?
    Either way he will be like a new signing when he returns.

    Im glad there was at least one more opportunity to roll that one out.

    As much as I sympathise with the Reading situation (cnunt of an owner) I really think we should be targeting them. Lewis Whing, Charlie Savage and Harvey Knibbs would be upgrades on anything we have at the moment. Also like the look of Tyler Bingham, but suspect he is heading to the Championship.
    Well, Tyler Bingham has leadership qualities being as he is a leader of the US Aryan Brotherhood. However he  is serving a life sentence in a maximum security prison and would find attendance at both home and away games problematic. Kiwi footballer Tyler Bindon on the other hand would have fewer logistical problems and would be less likely to shiv anyone showing disrespect. Anyway I’ve heard Millwall have made a strong offer for Bingham.

    Out of favour. He’s a good player on the ball but just doesn’t do enough without the ball for a Jones side. We tried to sell him in the summer, we need to shift players out and I wouldn’t be surprised if we are listening to offers again

    I like TT as a player but I don't think he's ever going to be a Nathan Jones player. Wouldn't be surprised if there's plenty of interest in him though. 

    If he was fit I would have expected him at least off the bench in the last 2 games

    I wouldn’t put it past them, just like CBT, Dobson and May. We’re be told it’s to invest in the team and we’ll end up buying another donkey from Ipswich.
    Don't be daft it'll be from Luton
  • That would be so Charlton, moving Taylor on just as he’s fit and showing decent form for the first time in 18 months. Best set piece taker at the club and still young enough to improve a fair bit.

    Personally I'd be keeping him but if the talk is trimming the squad he's someone that unfortunately is going to be a prime candidate. Think it would be a mistake to move him on though.

    Watching Wimbledon vs Gills at the moment. Jayden Clarke looks a useful player

    Would you rather keep Taylor and not be able to add an attacking midfielder? These are the kind of choices that will probably have to be made unfortunately

    We will need to move players on if we are to bring players in. As we’ve seen, it’s not easy to get rid of bad players. So it’s going to be a lot easier to offload Taylor than it is the likes of Edun and Watson

    Ex-Hendon. Started with us as a striker but can play as a 10 or either wide position. Very very nice fella.

    Neufville could be a good option for an attacking RWB. Only 23 and looks a real threat going forwards 
  • Taylor should at least be on the bench. Very good player. How A.Campbell is there instead of him is beyond me. Similarly Kanu instead of Ahadme. All different style of player I know, but nevertheless.
