Transfers 2016

Quite astute. The strangest thing in all of this is that he seemingly doesn't see the value in the old adage 'spend money to make money' and invest in a side capable of bouncing up the leagues and to the riches of the Premier League...

 

Are you going through the menopause Dick ?

Old maxim in life matey - if you dish it out, you sometimes have to be prepared to take it back.

I can't see what the harm is in naming sources.

 

Underwhelming transfer window to say the least for us.

Best chance of 'new blood' appears a cast off loan from another club

Over £5.5m net profit on transfers this summer, yet the club still being run with minuscule ambition

 

That will be going against his mantra and a business man approaching 70 will rarely change stance in how they conduct business. The parallels of how he's doing business now can compared to his last few months at Liege. Of corse he has several other clubs to draw examples from, but none of them will be hitting his pocket as much as Liege and Charlton do. The cost to run those two clubs on a day to day basis is much higher than his teams in Hungary, Germany and Spain combined I imagine.

 

In other news - the club have done the right thing and rejected Palace's £4mil bid. They've asked for £6mil and WBA keen too, according to a mirror journo.

 

Slade said no more "major" players would be leaving - Lookman is out best player

Even a loan back deal would stink

 

Slade has no power, he made a deal with the devil when he joined. I'd really respect him if he quit, expect he won't though.

 

Interesting to see that Walsall got a bigger fee for Rico Henry than we got for Jordan Cousins...

 

£1,5m up front but could rise to over £5m with add ons..... for a left back! We got £400k for THD ... that girl can certainly negotiate a good deal

 

For a club with a Top 6 budget, there has been remarkably little incoming transfer activity so far today

 

George Moncur has now be loaned out from Barnsley to Peterborough, makes that look a strange transfer too.

 

I agree to an extent, but I don't understand why he would spend on the likes of Holmes, Magennis and Ajose when he could have just brought in entirely frees and cut his losses. By staying one more year he is going to lose at least £3mil, even when taking our outgoings into account, why bother bringing in anyone if he just intends to sell now?
I think he's making a final half arsed effort to get promoted, so he's spent a bit on a first XI but again no squad.

 

Cawley reporting only one loan coming in now, and that is a Burnley reserve midfielder nobody has heard of

Top 6 Budget my old fanny !!

 

YOURS?????????????

 

Metaphorically speaking

Just to soften the blow, Rich Cawley has just put out there that Charlton have turned down 3 bids from Sheffield Weds for Morgan Fox.

He is trying to claim his Bitch has ambition...

 

Again what a disappointment.

 

Purely going by the parallels between us and standard. He was selling players for millions but still bringing individuals in for the fraction of the cost all the way up to his sale.

I may be way wide of the mark here, and probably mixed with a high degree of hope, but the pattern is similar, albeit on a smaller timeframe.

I've always maintained I think he will sell the club as quickly as he purchased it. Slater noted he did all his own due diligence in a matter of days which left me with question marks at the time. That's another question for another day, and a bit off topic though.

 

Being reported we've now asked for £10million. When did KM learn how to negotiate?

Whilst obviously delighted (as it stands), it's also somewhat **** on my theory.

 

Another twist - o'rourke from sky sports is reporting palace have reached a deal.

Probably best to hit the hay, miss all the back and forth, and see what we're left with tomorrow.

 

Yay. A loan came in. I'm super stoked and excited.
