We need one midfielder to “replace” the minutes and ideally exceed the performance of Campbell and Taylor, hopefully by being a bit more attack minded on the ball than those two.
Otherwise I don’t expect there’ll be much else done.0 -
I genuinely think I was the only person who credited Carlisle on their transfer activity? So that's fast become a bit of a Charlton Life myth that 'people' said when it couldn't have been more than myself a couple of others?
I don't think anyone was jealous that Luke Armstrong went to Carlisle. I don't think anyone actually wanted the players Carlisle were signing here.
From my point of view, it was more so that Carlisle were bang in trouble, and instead of just letting it happen, their owners at least tried to correct it and signed a couple of decent players in Armstrong and Harry Lewis. I'd watched Harry Lewis in person so knew he was a decent keeper and an upgrade.
They went down, and they're struggling now. The point is being missed entirely though. They spent money to at least try, and have ready made players for league2. It hasn't worked, and they're looking likely for a double relegation, which might suggest their troubles are deeper now than a few decent signings?
Either way, it's fast becoming a Charlton myth and a complete exaggeration.4 -

This ^ I'd rather spend less and spend it sensibly than be throwing around stupid money for this level. Ramsay was only £200k if I recall, Edwards £75k , Lloyd Jones and Coventry on Frees.
The last time we spent £2m on anyone must have been Igor or Sarr???0 -
It's not creating an image though. They weren't lying and saying that they went for x player but x club came in and stole the deal to create an image that they went for it.
They literally spent the cash. Whether or not it worked is an entirely different conversation, but they didn't do it to "create an image of giving it a go" they spent money hoping it would be enough to keep their club up. It didn't, shit happens, that's football.
I'd rather we spent a fuck ton when we are on the verge of play-offs than have to start again next season, especially when we have billionaire owners.
I'd also rather Ana de Armas was giving me back rubs while I scrolled Charlton Life, unfortunately, both myself and the club don't appear to have the capacity, life goes on.
I just wanted to address the Carlisle thing as it's nonsense and shouldn't be a recurring example everytime a transfer window pops up when it was pretty much one person who said they're giving it a go.
Absolutely shite thread this is.9 -
It’s gonna be that Korean guy isn’t it?

Transfer fees at this level are ridiculous this season, 2 mill for Sam Smith is awful business in my opinion. Although a mill for Ahadme isn’t looking great either.8

What part of that isn't acceptance?
Anyway with that said, and clearing up the acceptance, I'd love it if our owners spent some money, would really help our play-off push.3 -

Sam Smith going to Wrexham for £2m should put a stop to the ridiculous shouts that Leaburn is worth the same or less.5

But on the other hand we don't want to be in the position of looking at someone whose on a temporary hot streak and throw money at names or reputations for the sake of it.
Getting the right players in could give the season a genuine boost but getting the wrong ones could equally derail it.2 -

I'm not expecting the club to spend a lot of cash.....if any. But what I would like, and what has been plainly obvious since August, is someone in midfield who can create opportunities & a wide player (or 2) who can relive TC & Small when they tire during games or get injured / suspended.
At this point we have a decent enough chance to be in with a shout of the play offs.....first time in 3 seasons. If the owners want to see a return on their money & not spend another c£10m just covering costs next season then I would have thought a little extra now isn't asking too much.5 -

Scoham said:DOUCHER said:Scoham said:ButtleJR said:Hal1x said:Should we be receptive to cash in by possibly selling Miles now, whilst he is still in contract? He has so much potential but we need an effective striker this month and onwards. Should we be gambling potential against using the funds to buy an older finished product?.
Admittedly its all a bit theoretical currently as I wouldn't imagine we would be getting big offers while he is in a quiet patch, unless a big club is prepared to gamble to buy that potential.
It’ll be interesting to see if Godden can keep his place. I think there will be games when we need more physicality up front, and Leaburn at some point will grab a goal or two and show why there’s not much between them.Academy games also lack that physical side, some players need time to adjust and hold up strikers often mature with age - there are plenty of examples of target men peaking in their late 20s/early 30s.0 -

I think I'm slightly scarred by recent years of when we have spent good money on fees at this level they haven't really come off? Fraser,DJ,Kirk,Ahadme (so far) , even going back to spending £800k on Ajose.
If the right player that can really add something does become available of course go for it.1 - Sponsored links:
