Some of the players still looking for a club. Surely someone will take a punt on Dabo. The lad that didn't look like a professional footballer in the side that dropped out of the league like a stone? I'm sure Deeney's 'unique' management style didn't help, but I'd pass... A player with a lot of Championship appearances and who was Coventry's player of the season in one of his three season's there. He undoubtedly has ability that a decent manager should be able to unlock. Strikes me as a gamble, but one that could massively pay off for someone.

Not a gamble I'd want us to take, but could be worth a punt for a League Two club if he's not after silly money.

He's a RB.... as is Jenkinson and his injury record would suit us!

Its a strange one as last season he looked like he'd never played Sunday league football before never mind professionally. Seems like his confidence is completely shot.

Any rumours for us? Sounds like we're done unless something comes up - whether in or out.
I still think we could do with a RB (assuming we have the finances and squad slot), particularly without an update on MSH for a while. That seems unavoidable if Mingi is out for any period of time. If not, my guess is DC is happy being able to switch to a back 3 and play Fevrier or even Diamond RWB as another option.

Talk on the Charlton forum of them bidding £750k for Tanto but it's been rubbished by others on the forum.

No, he was brought in towards the end of last season on a non-contract basis, because we needed extra bodies to overlook the training, with so many players being at different levels of fitness.
He was made permanent in the summer as attacking coach. Sounds like more than an extra body for fitness purposes to me. He was originally brought in to help out, but was made permanent during the summer

Big fan of our Head of Recruitment rubbishing some of these made up Twitter rumours by commenting on them. Lovely stuff.

As we've got a contracts list and an injuries list, here's a look at the Squad List ahead of Friday's deadline:
Don't need to be registered:
Ben Hinchliffe (GK) Corey Addai (GK) Max Metcalfe (GK) Tayo Adaramola (U21) Jayden Fevrier (U21) Ethan Pye (U21 (according to family members)) Louie Barry (U21) Michael Mellon (U21) Tyler Onyango (U21) Cody Johnson (U21; out on loan) Ashton Mee (U21; out on loan) Jid Okeke (U21; out on loan)
To be registered: 20
Kyle Knoyle Ibou Touray Fraser Horsfall Macaulay Southam-Hales Callum Camps Nick Powell Will Collar Jack Stretton Ryan Rydel Kyle Wootton Ollie Norwood Jay Mingi Tanto Olaofe Odin Bailey Jack Diamond Callum Connolly Lewis Bate Sam Hughes Lewis Fiorini Che Gardner (U21 but confirmed by DC that he will be registered to meet Club-Developed Player quota)
Assuming we register all 20 players, that leaves 2 places left for any incoming players.

Doncaster wanted him perm but apparently was asking for £10k a week lol, think he may have to reevaluate! I watched Donny a couple of times towards the end of the season and he was excellent but that price is a piss take. Just wonder if thats the situation with most of those players. Not exactly a list of obscure players is it. Sometimes you have to bury your pride and take whats on offer. Even dropping down to NL level would not make em rough sleepers and will still be on more dosh than the vast majority watching them play.
