OoooMarkWright Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 10 minutes ago, Kernow said: I wonder whether the last few weeks would have altered our approach to the window. We’re within touching distance of the top 2 now, so if we have a good transfer window, there’s no reason we can’t make it. I don’t think we will, or want us to take a gamble by overspending. That would be deja vu when it doesn’t pay off. But last window, our additions were ineffective and our season ended up with nothing. I think if we can avoid being weakened, even if it means Cashin is sold but loaned back, then that’s one big step. We need someone who is a reliable option to swap for Collins, if he got injured, we probably can’t rely on TJJ, Waghorn or Washington to lead the line for a run of games. If we can also get another winger, as other than NML we seem to be very wasteful in this area, then we should hopefully be alright. I think people need to stop panicking about overspending. We’re never going to do that now. I hope plans haven’t changed. We made the mistake last year thinking we had enough, and didn’t. We need a wide man and a centre forward as a minimum. If those 2 are quality, I’ll be happy with just that. We need to be ruthless in the second half of the season. Top 2 is on. It’s up to us to smash it.

abertawe_ram Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 On 22/12/2023 at 11:35, abertawe_ram said: londonnewsonline.co.uk/charlton-transfer-chief-hoping-incoming-business-will-help-to-tie-down-blackett-taylor-and-dobson/ Two very good players at Charlton with contracts expiring in the summer. Blackett-Taylor has been mentioned quite a bit, but Dobson's their skipper and has always looked a very solid holding midfielder from what I've seen. Could do the role Hourihane is currently and allow CH to play further up perhaps. Ronan Curtis, formerly of Pompey and often linked in the past, is returning from injury and training with L2 Wimbledon. Could be risky but he seemed to have talent. Seems a bit of a "Tom Lawrence" figure among Pompey fans, divided on how much they rated him I suggested Dobson from Charlton a little way back and just seen this. It's only a line in this (very questionable) "article" that says that Charlton turned down bids from us and Wrexham at the end of the window. I like the idea he's a player we're interested in. Good age and the right sort of attributes we could use in a midfielder https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/wrexham-tried-signing-charlton-captain-george-dobson-at-end-of-summer-window/bltd4756a97b9b2aa8c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich fans pretty happy he's gone, he apparently can't last more than 10 minutes (steady on now!) without getting knackered. He has a lot of hype and a good reputation, but for some reason in senior football he's not really done a lot despite many chances. He's 19 and has 63 senior appearances and managed 6 goals.

DCFC1388 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Warne stating he wants a winger & forward to add more pace to our front line as well as an athletic midfielder. DET also saying we're still interested in Blackett-Taylor. Ive said it before but in terms of budget another midfielder will just replace Embleton if they join on loan. CBT and a pacey/athletic forward would do the trick. Sounds like Warne wants permanents & players who can be here for 3 or 4 years. I wonder if Ladapo could be an option again.

I doubt it, Ipswich lost George Hirst to a hamstring injury last night as well as Spurs recalling Dane Scarlett, so they're suddenly short of centre forward options.

maydrakin Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) I thought Thelonius Åsgaard looked useful for Wigan yesterday when he came on. Played in the Hourihane role and got them ticking. Only 21, contracted until 2026 and coming back from an injury, so absolutely no chance of us bringing him in.

Suspect we will end up replacing the likes of Cashin and Bird with workhorses, though. 39 goals in 22 matches would indicate we have enough up top. Issues have been conceding sloppy in close games. Workhorses are required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Trav Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I've heard this could be a tasty January. Looking at creative players mainly. Top priority's are winger and 10. DET have said we're interesed in Blackett-Taylor at Charlton, I'd take him in a heartbeat. I'd also take a punt on Dobra at Chesterfield, who's reportedly turned down a contract their. There's no plans for outs but everyone does have a price and i would assume their would be plans in place for that already.

Thanks BT, so no plans for outs but there might be 😉 Seen on numerous sites that we are interested in the Charlton player so good that your ITK contacts have confirmed that 😊🐏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
