No euphoria if he doesn’t spend in the transfer window. Southall’s pic with McDonagh was a giant get up.
Is it true that the training ground has been closed for the next couple of days to the public? It has been suggested that this is to allow all of our new signings to familiarise themselves with their new surroundings......?
Hopefully Doughty will get offered a contract which will keep him at the club. We've become conditioned to accepting the swift exit of our best young players, usually for peanuts, but let's see how ESI respond to the emergence of the latest Academy product.
Summary of today’s Charlton transfer action () so far. Taken from social media. Leaving - Lyle Taylor - Bristol City and Brentford have tabled bids. Alfie Doughty - enquiry from Fulham - rejected. Ashley Maynard Brewer - joining Dover on loan. Joining - Err......
Whatever happens will be well short of our minimum requirements to climb the table, which would have been to keep Gallagher and Taylor and sign a CB, a creative mid and a striker.
That's pretty damning. Let's hope that this bit of honesty from Bowyer puts pressure on ESI to do what's necessary.
Its too late. Nobody seriously believes we are going to buy 2/3 players & 2/3 loans in now. Gallen is excellent at his job, and Bowyer says he gave Southall a “list”. So the only reason has to be a lack of funds.
One of the Clubs we are relying on for help is Sunderland..... you know.... the people we beat (in the final minute) in the L1 play off final
