Transfer targets8 Jan 2029

Stefan Bajčetić will not be coming to Charlton Athletic

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Liverpool is saying, and nobody at Charlton Athletic is enjoying the guessing.

Market8 Jan 2029

Phoenix Valentine agrees terms with Valletta

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Charlton Athletic people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Transfer targets8 Jan 2029

An offer of $7.7M for Víctor Muñoz

Charlton Athletic have gone to Nottingham Forest with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets8 Jan 2029

Charlton Athletic make their move for Kelvin Dongopandji

$2.6M on the table at AFC Wimbledon. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market8 Jan 2029

Raynon Richman puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Charlton Athletic, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout8 Jan 2029

Scott Robertson: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Charlton Athletic have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match6 Jan 2029

Whatever happens, Charlton Athletic do not lose

7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Lincoln City tell Charlton Athletic: Ivan Varfolomeev is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Loan watch8 Jan 2029

Francesco Sartori counts the days

“I watch every Charlton Athletic game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at HNK Rijeka runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market20 Nov 2028

Andre Dozzell is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Charlton Athletic is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom20 Nov 2028

Andre Dozzell has agreed to leave Charlton Athletic for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad20 Nov 2028

Words exchanged at Charlton Athletic

Zach Mitchell and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

The manager makes an example of Tanto Olaofe

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

Josh Edwards knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Charlton Athletic, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Looking ahead20 Nov 2028

A reunion for Lloyd Jones

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Plymouth Argyle in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Market20 Nov 2028

The Tyreece Campbell question follows Charlton Athletic around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Tyreece Campbell’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

Macaulay Gillesphey gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Macaulay Gillesphey is on it.

Market20 Nov 2028

The clock does Andre Dozzell’s negotiating for him

5 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Charlton Athletic could ask drops and the wages Andre Dozzell can ask rise.
