    I don’t know too much about him, but he has made a decent number of appearances (from starts) in recent seasons.

    Welcome Amari.

    Decent video of his farewell. Comes across a well-spoken and smart chap.

    Really good signing that. The big fear with Gillesphey is that his lack of pace will expose the area where he’s weakest again, which is chasing back after a ball over his head. A lot of his mistakes came from those sorts of balls over the top and faster attacking teams will look to exploit that. He’s best when he can win the first header or engage a defender square on. Bell offers pace and power in those situations and we can switch between them depending on if we need to not get caught out or if we might have a bit more of the ball. Does potentially allow us to push Ramsay to RWB if we need to in a pinch because we’ll have the recovery pace in Bell

    I know nothing of him, seems another solid signing, with NJ quoting he has pace and power. Been a champ and a season as a prem player the last few years, so definitely an upgrade.

    Decent left sided cover.
    Guessing this is the replacment for Small then
    Jones talks in his interview as LCB cover 
    Does that then put the Burke and Famewo rumours to bed?

    How the tables have turned, I remember we were all so jealous of the way Luton were being run and getting to the premier league , now we’ve got half their players and above them.
    Mass sales at Luton. Looks like they are skint.
    I guess Nick Owens TV AM money wasn’t going to last forever.

    We'll see... I'm happy with those that we're bringing in, but there have been a few Summers in the recent years where people have seen them as 7/10 or 8/10 windows, and they've been less than impressive, so never like making absolute judgement. It feels a better window than 2019 when we were last in the Championship, but that's no surprise, but the proof will be in the pudding next May.

    When the moon hits your eye,
    like a big pizza pie that Amari'i



    After his second-half-of-season performances and the winner at Wembley I assume that Macca Gillespiephey will be taken off scapegoat duties this year so, just in case ...

    When the ball's in our net,
    And it's come down our left,
    That's Amari'i



    Let's hope it doesn't come to that though.

    Famewo yeah , Burke I expect to compete with Ramsay if signed and I still wouldn't rule out the Brad Hills rumour.

    The sort of transfer I'd expect a newly promoted side to make, rather than one that catches your attention.

    Excellent stuff, another step closer to Europe, well Thomas Sandgaard did say Europe in 5 years…

    Intwresting, we got him in over Akin, which I’m guessing is dead in the water, wages or who you know and trust?

    Underwhelmed.  Another REG - Too short for CB - not enough pace for wing back.

    And too old ...

    It’s also encouraging to know these owners have serious money who clearly are happy to back the manager in the transfer market.

    Personally, I’m viewing this whole window as bringing in the players that can keep us up, even if that means 21st, and I think the 4 in are all good additions so far.  It’s great to be linked with the Galbraith’s of this world, but we have to accept we probably don’t have the financial resources to win those types of players (we may get one marquee/well touted signing)

    Re picking up 2 players from relegated Luton, the same could’ve been said for Doughty and Lockyer the year we went down.  Both of them went on to deliver after they left us.  

    This continues to be a good window imo and I think Bell will deliver

    Was extremely impressed with him when he played against us at The Valley for Fleetwood was their stand out player, very pleased with this signing

    Can't say I know much about him, but sounds a decent signing, proven at this level
    Don't know much about him either, his name rings a bell though

    I am really happy with this, have wanted him to be a Charlton player for about 8 years? Better late than never. 

    In our home loss to Blackburn 2 nil in 2020, I remember watching him and thinking how is he not playing the prem, had every attribute as a full back you could ask for.

    Obviously as that was 5 years ago and his prime years are now gone, I am not expecting the same player, but this is a very sensible transfer. 

    Slight concern over the injuries that Luton are mentioning, but hopefully we manage that.

    Welcome Amari'i from someone who has signed you on fm/career mode for 8 years 😂

    I came here to say I was struggling to get used to the idea that we now sign people I've heard of, other than having heard of them purely because they played well against us in one game in League One. So it's reassuring to hear he actually ticks both boxes.

    Joking aside, I'm starting to feel optimistic which is not my usual state of existence. We're signing people I don't have to look up on Google.

    Another good signing - ability, character, experience & I can see this as a real positive for our young Jamaicans to have a senior player who's walked/walking the same path.

    Not convinced on this one tbh, but obviously hope I'm wrong!
