Charlton Athletic boss outlines how many more signings needed before transfer window shuts
Charlton Athletic manager Ben Garner wants another “two to three” signings to complete his squad before the transfer window closes.
The Addicks have made five additions this summer.
Garner told the South London Press: “I’d like another two or three in the squad.
“There are one or two key positions that I do think we need to strengthen and have a little bit more depth there. And we’ll continue to do that while the window is open.”
Asked about which positions he felt needed to be bolstered, Garner declined to specify. He said: “As soon as you say a position then prices or wages can go up. We’re looking to get the balance we need, we’re not there yet.
“We’re hoping to get at least two in, if not three.
“If we can get them in before [the season starts] fantastic. From my perspective the earlier they come in the better, because it’s more contact time and introduction time with the club. But if we have to wait longer in the window then we will.”
