Mason would be a decent signing, still only 27 and good experience, mainly in the Championship. It will be all down to wages, surely we can outdo Portsmouth and Plymouth and of course whether or not he wants to come to the smoke.

As long as they were released before deadline day closed or they are not eligible right?

Joe Mason Career Total 257 games 56 Goals 1 goal every 4.5 games Unlikely to happen as Plymouth have offered him 18 month contract and we only want him till end of season

I can understand from a players point of view and the security about the 18 month contract but on the flip side if you can hit the ground running with us, bag enough goals for double figures and get us promoted then you will be looking at a lot better deal or the possibility of a bigger club looking at you in the summer. Karlan is that exact example, half a good season and a move to the premiership!

Plymouth fans are also suggesting we are in for Mason with many conceding defeat on where he'll end up as they are saying we have offered to pay him double to what they have put on the table.

Is Mason any good ?

He had a promising career in front of him a few years back but hasn't kicked on. I am always wary of footballers who's careers seem to go backwards at a fairly young age when it should be going the other way. He's near the top of the page containing a poor bunch of strikers who are available.

Well it’s hardly worth worrying now as LB is making it public that the owner is unlikely to agree to anyone coming in. So it will stay at 3 strikers out and 1 in. This is always going to be the scenario when the person holding the purse strings has no emotional relationship with the club or it’s supporters and looks at it and the paying fans purely through business eyes. I’m to tired of it all to rant about the twat, I now just accept that’s the way it is and I never build my hopes up.

I’m to tired of it all to rant about the twat, I now just accept that’s the way it is and I never build my hopes up. My recollection is that Lee Bowyer said he didn’t know whether the owner would agree, not that he’s unlikely to do so. There’s an important difference. My interpretation is that Bowyer was implying they hadn’t asked the owner for his specific approval. That said, if we are to believe what we’ve been told about what happened on deadline day, i.e. that approval had been given for a signing which then fell through, I’d have thought it unlikely that the same budget would not be available for a free agent. It’s reasonable to suppose that Bowyer is pursuing the possibility based on this assumption. However, I suspect it’s all entirely academic anyway. The chances of finding a striker who would improve us, who is fit or who could get fit quickly, and who isn’t going to get snapped up by somebody else are very slim indeed I’d imagine.

Spot on LB not asked him.... but the fact he was going to ok moves for to top championship players and paying big wages for them would suggest there would not be a problem ... but again to many people automatically looked for the negative in bowyers comments without really reading it properly .....

How do we know RD is not as pissed off at the rest of us with regards to Bowyer and Gallen's schoolboy stuff on deadline day? Surely promotion benefits him because as a championship club we are in a bigger shop window?

Someone has shared some comments on Charlton Facebook from Charlton Positives Group claiming to have spoken to one of the players who are apparently questioning why we didn't sign someone. Don't know how to share it on here.

Doesn’t really make any sense given what we were told happened on transfer deadline day, but perhaps that’s no surprise. Yet again Roland Duchatelet produces a victory for his own particular brand of logic over judgement and common sense.

The clip I read quite definitely quoted LB as saying “ I think it unlikely that the owner will give us permission to pursue another striker “ Well that has now been confirmed, in that he won’t give us permission.
