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

I'm comfortable with not getting drawn into bidding wars when you know you've got to make the most of the budget to strengthen across the squad. Mothersille attitude wise sounds like a dodged bullet and I would still expect another forward in the building anyway and Gailbraith sounds like he's only ever wanted Swansea.

That wally of a chairman at P'Boro spouting again.

Sounds like a weird lie to be fair. I don't think he would make that up for no reason.

That's now the 2nd player we have been quite publicly linked with that we didn't up our bid for. 

I know people will say "sounds like the club aren't letting themselves be mugged off" etc but these players cost money. For the sake of 300-500k twice to lose out on a desired target, it just isn't worth it, unless you can find someone of better quality for cheaper. 

It's ok to say we are on a tight budget, which if 5-10m is true, that makes it the very lower end of champ. It might be that our budget heavily leaned towards Goalkeeper and a forward as those are two positions we definitely needed a player.

Just don't get why it seems we have this view now of "looks like we didn't want to pay then rather than we couldn't" when most signs point towards us just having a low but competitive championship budget. We are going to miss out on players if that's the case, and that is part of football.

Think it’s more the point we think a certain player is worth x amount and won’t pay over the odds. If you take what DMac says as being true where are all the other Championship sides queuing up for Mothersille if you believe he’s that good and available at a fair price? The lack of other interest suggests Championship clubs thinks he’s either not that good or they can do better elsewhere. You do seem fixated in seeing the negative in everything.

We simply cannot be compared to about 18-20 Championship sides as they have better squads, and proven championship players with bigger budgets. They aren't in a rebuild state like we are. Their targets will be completely different.

Malik did have Championship offers, QPR heavily linked (assume Poku signing changed their plans), if you bother to look at most other championship sides, you will realise they already have better quality. That's not to say Malik can't make the step up, it's just how good a lot of the players in this league are.

How am I fixated in being negative on everything? Was I negative about Tanto or Kaminski? I wanted us to sign Bell, we have, I'll post about that in a positive manner. 

Offering 200-300k more or whatever it is is not paying over the odds, these are really low end championship transfer fees. I am highlighting the concern that when we appear to be in a transfer shootout, we are losing.

That's the point though - if they're asking too much the money is better spent on someone else we think is as good but who isn't overpriced.

Or if we're going to spend that much, we'd expect to do better.

Setting a limit for what a player is worth and not going above it is sensible, otherwise you end up paying £4m for Will Grigg.

1.5-2 million for Galbraith though isn't too much money and neither is Mothersille for roughly 1 million. The only scenario in which you can say they are overpriced is if you aren't splashing the cash. Cause then you have to factor budget and where you are willing to invest that budget. 

The Will Grigg transfer for 4 million is becoming a bit of a false dilemma. Of course not every player does well you pay cash for, there are loads of other examples where clubs 'overpay' and it works out successfully.

We are talking on missing out on desired targets for hundreds of thousands here, if the reports are true, not millions. 

I genuinely don't really mind we are missing out on targets cause that is football, and it isn't my money to spend. I just don't see why we can't just look at it for what it is. It's a shame we are missing out, but clubs aren't trying to mug us off, they're trying to make themselves sustainable and the fees being quoted for these players are very reasonable transfer fees. 

In your opinion.

Depends if Jones and Chappell think they can do better with that money.

Every club bar a few oil clubs have a budget and spend within it, walking away and not overpaying is sensible not a sign that you're not spending anything.

We're not in the realms of previous years of waiting for everyone else to do their business before picking up any old chaff on frees and loans (Church/Sordell, Terrell Thomas, Matt Penney, resigning Adam Matthews etc).

What about us beating Derby to Sonny Carey, who are already a championship side? If we were still stuck on 0 signings I'd understand your concern a little more but we appear to be recruiting well, quite early into the window. Let's hope we keep seeing quality incomings through the door over the next couple of weeks, really hoping we bring in some quality in that RWB position

Maybe, but you also said Gillesphey and Mannion would keep their places, which now looks a lot less certain.

The answer might be in your post here, I think we were probably in for both Tanto and MM and then decided Tanto was the better choice. Just as QPR did with Poku (yes Poku is better than both of them but the theory is the same)

I understand the logic, but Malik and Tanto are two very different players, whereas Malik and Poku aren't, very similar styles. I think we would have liked both as Rich said he wouldn't be surprised to see us wanting to sign another striker/winger which fits his profile. Tanto is a pure centre forward.

Jones and Chapple will undoubtedly know more targets and identify a better player than me.

I am talking about transfer value though, and markets. In this current market, that is a very fair fee for a player of Galbraiths quality, potential and future potential value.

Who said we weren't willing to pay for Galbraith?  He just chose Swansea didn't he?  We don't really know one way or the other (we do with Mothersille).

I won't clog the thread so will end it here - I can see your point but I also think if Jones and Chappell think a fee is too high for a player and walk away, I'll trust that.

We simply cannot be compared to about 18-20 Championship sides as they have better squads, and proven championship players with bigger budgets. They aren't in a rebuild state like we are. Their targets will be completely different.

Malik did have Championship offers, QPR heavily linked (assume Poku signing changed their plans), if you bother to look at most other championship sides, you will realise they already have better quality. That's not to say Malik can't make the step up, it's just how good a lot of the players in this league are.

How am I fixated in being negative on everything? Was I negative about Tanto or Kaminski? I wanted us to sign Bell, we have, I'll post about that in a positive manner. 

Offering 200-300k more or whatever it is is not paying over the odds, these are really low end championship transfer fees. I am highlighting the concern that when we appear to be in a transfer shootout, we are losing. 

That's not true though or at least not consistently. Kaminski had interest from other clubs, we did the out-bidding there. Its been reported that someone tried to hijack the Olaofe deal too but again we (seemingly) were the winners in that one.

So we've "lost" 2 (that we know of) and won 2. We don't know who if anyone was also interested in Carey or Bell but id be astonished if no-one else showed any interest in either.

This is literally just how transfers go - win some, lose some.

Kaminski we outmuscled the other club by double, they were offering a league 1 wage, we offered a championship wage. 

I would be curious to know who were in for Tanto, as that didn't come from a journalist but a poster on here, correct me if I am wrong? 

The last line is what I am trying to get at, so I agree with you mostly.

If Burke does come in, I wonder if that does spell exit for one of the Mitchell brothers on loan.

With Ramsay acting as one of the Right Wing-Backs, unless we go with a flat back four even.

At the moment I can see something like

Kaminski
Ramsay - Jones - Gillesphey - Edwards
Coventry - Docherty
Campbell - Carey - Olaofe
Godden

Has Jones ever played a flat back four with a double pivot?

TransferMarkt, suggests we did that a lot this season (lol!) - and that he did it a few times with Luton... He certainly wasn't afraid to try different things last season, unfortunately a lot of that was in November

Nathan Jones - Detailed Stats | Transfermarkt

We definitely didn't though

Yeah that's why I put the (lol!) in brackets

I dont think you can have a lol in a bracket, surely a lol is an unrestrained guffaw!

Added to the ITK list.

Might be time to put together a ITK XI.

So far I'm seeing Doucher as a no nonsense CB (direct and to the point), Pavoren007 as a cultured winger (been to Glastonbury) and RedRobbo between the sticks (just because). 

Alternatively, I need to go out more. Hard to say.

RonnieMoore playing up top. Low conversion rate, divides the fan base, but a long term servant of the club.
