Deadline Day from Pg.641 - Summer 2025 Charlton Athletic Transfer Rumours

Would be very excited for this one. Hoping we can get it done.

I think the best signing we could make would to get Ramsey signed up with a new improved contract. I fear this Offiah chap could be a replacement.

QPR also mentioned in the piece as a club interested, hoping Jones and Chappell Brighton links will put us in pole position. 

You'd hope our very long history of having a good relationship with Brighton might help us. 

Was wondering similar - maybe an installment of the James Beadle deal is due ? Maybe James would come as well ? Definitely an option 

Watch Out Beadles About 
to go to Birmingham.

Already gone 

I think Offiah reflects the difference between league 1 and the champ. In league 1 we could afford to play a more attack focussed full back. In the champ we will be set up differently. Whether it is Ramsay at RWB or Offiah.... a combination of the two of them covering RWB and RCB looks strong.

Does run the risk of being a bit too defensive and lacking options to counter attack and come forward, especially now Small has gone. But that is something that you'd hope Jones has accounted and planned for.

Yeah agree with that makes us way more solid at the back but would need to compensate with some extra attacking ability up front etc.

I don't think Jones has ever made any secret of the fact, that his priorities have always been: Make sure you are solid at the back and work from there. No issues at all with him following the same philosophy over this transfer window.

I am quite sure that in time he will bring in all the positions he wants.

I’ll message the person I know at Brighton to see if I can get any info…they do the transfer negotiations in but can see if they know anything. 

yeah seems like Brighton don’t think he’s good enough for them and they strongly think he will join us (but you never know what can happen in football). Just asking if it would be a fee or a loan. As if they don’t rate players they usually don’t bother with loans and look to cash in 

Thats a proper ITK!

Find it hard to believe that both Sean Roughan and Paudie O'Connor are gonna end up in League1 again with Huddersfield and Wycombe. 

Especially O'Connor, we should be all over him if we persist with a back 5, he's literally Lloydys twin.

Just speculating but maybe O'Connor is aware he might not get much game time ahead of Jones. Obviously all players back themselves and love a challenge but plenty are realistic with this stuff too

I would say more so it's cause we probably aren't interested. 

Which is a shame as he would probably start for us or at the very least be good cover in a championship squad. Him and Lloyd as 2 of your back 3 centre backs, good luck with any type of aerial threat.

Who do you drop though, Ramsay or Gillesphey? Presume it's the latter in which case you're playing a right footer at LCB who is used to playing in a 4 instead of a 3. Not saying he can't adapt but the R/LCB roles in a back 3 are different to your classic CB roles

I'm not discussing who I would specifically like to see dropped on here anymore.

But he would be a welcome addition in a long season and who I genuinely believe has the quality to start for a lot of championship sides.

Agree I think he'd be a good backup to Lloyd and we're going to need that this season. I wouldn't feel comfortable without him out for any period of time in league 1 let alone the Championship. 

Can see Z.Mitchell being Jones backup this season. Obviously question marks whether he’s ready for the step up or not but ur saving yourself a lot of money then giving O’Connor very high wages big signing bonus for just simply being Jones backup. I’d happily save that money and throw it towards Offiah knowing he’s a guaranteed starter for that RCB.

George Saville has left Millwall would be good experience to get in.
