Barrs Court Red Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 It will be interesting to see how Fleetwood does this season. Personally I think it's someone we should have taken a gamble on, maybe we tried, who knows. Glad Lafferty is going to a non-Championship side.

cheshire_red Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 We cannot afford to gamble, Charton have parachute payments which allow them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robins72 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Isnt this season their last parachute payment? They are still offering their fans free season tickets for the following season if they achieve promotion in 2008/09. Personally I'm not sure if Pardew is the man to take them back to the prem though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Rangers are buying strikers like it's going out of fashion - cheeky bid for Kris Boyd maybe? Always seems to score when given the chance, not sure he'd fancy us though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Just how many strikers do Charlton have or more importantly need? Fleetwood, Andy Gray, Chris Iwelumo, Svetislav Todorov, Luke Varney, Izale McLeod, Chris Dickson, Marcus Bent back from his loan now, that's 8 just from memory....

Bent, Iwelumo and McLeod will all be gone by the start of the season. Tordorov and Varney is their first choice pairing with Dickson and Gray as back up. Fleetwood won't get a kick up there but ain't good enough for this level anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if he will get loaned out then if he doesnt cut the mustard? Look at Mcleod did he actually play many first team games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put money on him being farmed out at some point in the second half of the season to a League One club. He won't cut the mustard at this level. Wouldn't surprise me if Charlton signed him up to stop others taking a gamble on him. He'd have been much better served going somewhere like Cheltenham and being the main man there.

You just took the words out of my mouth, are Charlton doing a Chelsea etc and just buying players to prevent others from having them. Dangerous as it's hard to keep everyone happy if they are fit and needing to play. I will say though that if we really intended signing him, taking a gamble, we would have done it last season, maybe? There have been mumblings about him for ages with him being local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalifoniaRed Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Having seen him play a number of times last season, I personally don't think he was good enough for this level, but now Charlton are preparing to sign him I guess we will see!
