John Fortune is being linked with a move to Preston. Whilst I can't see this appealing to him - he didn't see a move to Stoke as progression - it's worrying that we could lose another central defender when we are already arguably one short and Madjid Bougherra is still being linked with a possible money move away. Richard Murray told the Bloggers that the plan was two pros in each position (plus youngters) and yet we are already one down. We are being linked with Portsmouth's Martin Cranie on a season's loan and that looks the sort of deal that would work for cash-strapped Charlton, particularly if he was drafted in to replace Fortune or Bougherra. Central defence is rapidly becoming as big a potential problem area as central midfield.
If you see Weaver as a potentially weak-link (like I do), then we are essentially missing the strong spine that good sides need. I live in hope that we will pull a couple of rabbits out the hat but it is not looking promising. The transfer window doesn't shut until the end of August, so maybe we're going to wait and see. Like we did that in January after releasing Andy Reid.....

Although the lack of transfer activity is slightly concerning, I don't want us to start signing players for the sake of it. A couple of the signings last summer certainly fit into that category.
ReplyDeleteNow that Pards and the boys are back from Spain hopefully he can bring in a couple of his targets, rather than players who we're interested in just because they've been made available.
