Caerphilly Ram Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 1 minute ago, Elwood P Dowd said: About a week ago the South London Press reported that Charlton had turned down an offer for CBT !! Rich Cawley (the one whose tweets are posted above) is probably the one who wrote that story. He’s the local journo for Charlton and is the South London Press sports editor. Feels positive that he’s saying today we were the club who previously had a bid rejected, removes some of the doubt expressed by some that we’re not at least actively trying to recruit. I wonder how much Charlton are holding out for 🤔 It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that the rumour Blackett-Taylor was shown around moor farm is true, could be Derby approached Charlton for permission to meet the player with the understanding a fee would then be negotiated.

IlsonDerby Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 He’s a signing where just by having him tied to a longer deal he should instantly be worth more than we pay if we can get it over the line. We have to accept our place that we are a stepping stone to bigger things at the moment and so resale value has to be considered. Id be happy to sign anyone who’ll retain their value (injuries permitting) as we won’t end up with any butterfield in for £4m out for a Mars bar type situations that ultimately emptied the coffers.

Carnero Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Who was the last player that we paid an up front transfer fee for? Joswiak? Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddielewis Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I suspect from our side at the negotiation table we are trying to get a percentage of the fee tied to whether we get promotion in a similar fashion to Fornah and Wilson and Charlton probably want a more no strings hard cash.

Then we've continued negotiations this week and are getting close. CBT has probably informed Charlton that he wants to leave and move to Derby. So hopefully they've just said look we're close, not played him today and we can get this all done next week.

Charlton have blinked first with the transfer chain with signing Coventry (transfermkt have that fee at around £1,150,000 probably loads less than that upfront but with incentives) and apparently already agreed for Clarke-Harris for around £350k. CBT and their captain Dobson are on the way out so are probably wanting to recoup about £800-900k altogether.

RamLad1884 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Let’s for arguments sake agree a fee which matches that which Charlton pay for JCH from Peterborough, would we say we’ve come out of the deals better? I would say so, we’d be getting a player showing consistent form who is in prime years with resale value against a striker with no resale value realistically and if Peterborough fans are to be believed an attitude problem.

Keepyuppy Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Clearly CBT is off somewhere imminently as he’s not in Charlton squad today - time will tell If hes coming to us, but it looks like Charlton are looking to secure his replacement before they let him go 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 If we end up paying that for a player with 6 months on his contract, who has no track record above League 1 and not from a promotion rival, then we can’t be as cash strapped as is being made out. £250k isn’t a small fee at this level. I don’t begrudge spending that for him, as I think he’s a good player, it would just surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Think we should go up to 500k for him. He’s out of contract in the summer so we don’t want to get ripped off, but equally he’s still young so should have decent resale value. If he’s a player who we really want and would improve our chances of promotion this season, then it’s worth it. No idea where the money is going to come from though.

Think 350k should do it imo don't need to overpay for players like we have in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
