So, we sign another player who is a Wombles cast-off!!!

About time we actually paid money for someone who is likely to help us stay in the bloody league,

And they give him a 2 year contract; yet another defender. Bowyer must have overlooked the fact that we cannot score goals

Patience is running very thin; when do we actually sign a footballer worthy of the name?

I have been prone to criticising the club in the past but it looks like we are pulling together as best we can at the moment.

Bowyer is working miracles on zero money.

Deji Oshilaja (26)

Just had a look at his record so far...

A Cardiff City player from 2012 to 2017 but never actually played for them.
Spent those years out on loan to lower league Clubs Newport County, Gillingham & AFC Wimbledon. Was also on loan to Championship side Sheffield Wednesday in 2014 but only for six weeks, making two appearances.

Was then bought by AFC Wimbledon in 2017 and was Captain of their team in the 2018-19 season.
They finished 20th that season, avoiding relegation on goal difference.

He sounds like a good solid tier 3 player who is possibly good enough to do a job in the Championship.
About the same quality as many of our current squad.

While accepting that he is a capable player with leadership qualities, does Deji Oshilaja make Charlton's squad stronger than it was last season? Personally I can't see a compelling reason right now to say that he does. But time will tell.

One question though - why did AFC Wimbledon release him?

He's a decent player, got injured and then dropped from the first team when he threw his toys out the pram when Dons turned down bids from Ipswich. Dons brought through a homegrown centre back (Nightingale) who played well and was subsequently made captain.

If we get the Oshilaja of two seasons ago rather than last season then we have a decent player.

Source - mate has a dons season ticket.

It's gone very quiet on the signing front. Six to seven players required and two weeks to go before the window closes.

It would have been nice to have the squad put together way before the season starts.

Instead we'll be trying to find a system to play, bedding in players whilst trying to get 3 points.
 
All things are possible with the yellow toothed tiger. Remember that he blocked signing a striker on a freebie last January because we"had enough strikers". He's playing his own little game.

Just to clarify a couple of things I'm not sure of;

1. When the transfer window closes does that mean no more loans as well?

2. Can Clubs still sign players after the transfer window closes if those players are free agents (out of contract)?

The loan window also closes. You can still sign free agents outside of the window.

My guess is that we end up with Josh Parker again; the spin will be that we would like to take another look at him as he did so well last time.........!!!!!

Has our once proud club really sunk so low? How l hate our owner.

Josh Parker did better than I think most of us expected. In league 1. Releasing him in may and bringing him back now would really take a lot of justification - the management team would be forced to accept they were wrong about him playing at this level (and then pray he could cut it in the Championship) or say he was the best RD's money could buy.
Can't see him coming back this season though,.
 
If Parker, Harriott or Magennis are signed up again I hope we will not be told that they were always on Bowyer & Gallen's 'wanted' list.

If we are told that, I'm going to have a problem believing it.

Aribo just scored for Rangers in Europa League. Yet Bowyer didn't want him to come to us, he would have preferred he went to Brentford? Mental.

To be fair, a mob from Luxembourg, but last year we got into the group stages and played the likes of Villarreal, Rapid Vienna etc. Anyway, I realise the Scottish league isn't great but playing European football and Old Firm games will be better for his advancement than Brentford. Bowyer's comments just seemed like sour grapes, that's all.
