Agreed - so a 27 year old in his prime , not a 34 year old to be a lump optionkillerandflash said:
We have loads of young attacking players, TC and Miles are still learning their games.CafcWest said:
We Micah have one of those…wmcf123 said:I’d be signing a starting , young, hungry striker with resale value , not someone of Smith’s age.
Last season we have Chuks and Hylton as experienced options, that's what we don't have now.0 -
Why do we think the Jaws mention is a clue?? haha seems very optimistic.
Bordering on tin foil hat territory!!!1 -
Shark infested custard which basically means a striker…or just a pathetic attempt to join in on the shark theme.🤓0

Max Watters fits the bill aside from not being very good?7

Jaws is an OLD movie about a shark ATTACKING people in the SEA around the holiday resort of AMITY.- There are rumours that Charlton are still looking to recruit ATTACKING players.
- There are rumours that Charlton are looking to recruit from overSEAS.
- There are rumours that Charlton are looking to sign an OLDer player to use experience to help younger players in the squad.
This clearly leads us to Amity Shamende from Zambia, recognised for creativity and control as an attacking midfielder. Born on 4 August 1993 and standing 5ft 9 tall, Shamende combines technical skill with a sharp footballing mind. Currently playing for Green Eagles in the Zambian Premier League, Shamende has also represented the Zambia national team, contributing key goals and assists in international fixtures. Known for vision, agility, and an ability to dictate play, Shamende remains an influential figure at both club and national level, demonstrating consistency, leadership, and a strong work ethic throughout a well-established and respected football career.
I hope there is truth in this rumour. She sounds great.14 -
Josh Windass or Harvey Knibbs would excellent signings for the Campbell and striker role3

anagram of Harvey Knibbs:“Sharky Bevin VB” hmmmmmm6

Killer, I think Godden comes under the experience tab.killerandflash said:

Those 2 goals and 6 assists of the other 2 will take some replacing thoughBailey said:

We do have a lot of strikers on our books now and yes, bringing in a goal machine, if possible, shouldn't be sniffed at, but I'm wondering if Nathan Jones thinks he's already well served in that department. I wouldn't knock a forward line of Campbell, Godden and Apter, that would leave Leaburn, Oloafe, Kanu and Mbick, looking on. I also think Nathan Jones has his ideas of what potentially will work, everyone, including myself, doubted the wisdom of playing Tyreece Campbell in a forward role, second half of the season it worked.2

I think we’ll bring in a striker because we need goals.6
-
I agree that a striker is likely but I'm not so convinced it's going to be an outright goal scorer we are after. The current "trend" (and Jones own preference) seems to be for goals to be spread over a larger number of players instead of having a "goal scorer".ShootersHillGuru said:I think we’ll bring in a striker because we need goals.
I'd guess we might be looking more for someone in the physical target man mould to complement/cover Leaburn.0 -
Will Fish, Jones could always convert him to a target man role

Another striker to me says we will definitely be playing 2 up front still, so probably not a 3-4-3. Apter will most likely be playing the Small role on the right
Hoping the profile of the new striker is a big target man type that can hold the ball up. Think Leaburn is still learning in this area so we need to replace Aneke who played that role last season4 -
Or someone to rotate with godden a goalscorer who will have to step up again but who knows I'm not Nathan's best mate.0
-
So with around £7m spend so far (no idea if that's accurate, just what I've read here) and our most expensive signing coming in yesterday, do we think that's it in terms of large investments?
The squad is getting quite big, although outgoings are expected, and there are a couple of areas that still require a starter or back-up. Most notably, we have no idea who will play RWB, it seems to be a toss up between JRC or Apter - both of which are just as likely to play completely different positions. I wouldn't be surprised to see one more investment in that area, someone akin to Thierry Small.

I think that makes sense, often our approach was to press teams, be fairly direct, and when that wasn’t enough take a defender off and do the same but even more extreme.thenewbie said:

We’ve got more pace in Olaofe and Apter, and in JRC and Carey two CMs who will drive forward with the ball, a big strong striker to win headers and hold up the ball is an obvious gap. I doubt NJ will want Leaburn and Mbick to be our only options who offer that. I’d see it either being an experienced striker as a squad option, or a bigger money signing if there’s a younger version out there who really stands out.1 -
Strikers are by definition expensive so I’m expecting the striker signing to be perhaps the most expensive fee.ElliotCAFC said:So with around £7m spend so far (no idea if that's accurate, just what I've read here) and our most expensive signing coming in yesterday, do we think that's it in terms of large investments?

I'd say we're done spending big money on strikers. Reportedly £1.5m on Olaofe, then Gooden and Leaburn, and one of Mbick or Kanu. I don't see us spending any more millions on a striker that isn't guaranteed to start.ShootersHillGuru said:

Am I the only person who does not see us spending money on a striker?
Leaburn, Godden, Mbick, Kanu, Olaofe can probably play there as well and TC.
say Kanu and Mbick go out on loan
i can see us signing a loan player maybe but certainly not splashing the cash
also I would rather that money was spent on a RWB3 -
Can’t see a RWB coming in now we’ve signed Apter. As for a striker. We know one of or possibly both Mbick and Kanu will be loaned out and there a still question marks over Miles ability to stay fit. I’d say a striker who is good enough to start most matches is an absolute essential. Probably a proven one at that.mattinfinland said:Am I the only person who does not see us spending money on a striker?

See your point but finding a target man type loan from a PL club is tough. Jayden Danns was highly thought of before his injury last season but he would be out of our bracket. I think a free agent Michael Smith type is much more likelymattinfinland said:Am I the only person who does not see us spending money on a striker?

Hearing that Knibbs should ink a deal soon.

That's why if we do buy a striker, it's important it is one that can play multiple positions rather than just be restricted to one role (like Gassan).ElliotCAFC said:

TC, Tanto, Leaburn, all 3 of these can drift out wide and allow us to play fluid, even Godden can do a bit more than play as a traditional 9.
Whoever we spend on should be someone who can rotate and be versatile, there is someone perfect for that, he is affordable and his name has been mentioned about a thousand times. I am still hoping it is him.0 -

After finally getting round to watching a video of Apter and his skillful left foot when he plays on the right, is their any footage of him when he isn't in attack mode ?
Like in the defensive side of the pitch.
If someone is going to be classed as a RWB and not just an attacking right sided player then where can I see the videos of him defending ?1 -
Assuming you are talking about DKD I think £5m is probably out of our price range. I'm guessing Apter will be our highest fee paid this summerBraziliance said:

Is the Knibbs thing a wind up? I’ve not seen a link anywhere. Very decent player and would be one of a few at Reading I think are capable of playing in the Champ.1
-
I think we need to forget DKD. We can be sure that Cawleys comment about Keillor-Dunn not wanting to come south is definitive. I’d guess we made an approach and were rebuffed on that very issue as well as the initial asking price.1
