Jacko's loan dilemmas

Johnnie Jackson explains why loan players Juan Castillo and Nile John have not yet been used in the starting 18.  He also says that Jayden Srockley's injury is a 'slow burner', in other words don't expect to see him any time soon: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/charlton-boss-johnnie-jackson-answers-question-about-tottenham-and-chelsea-loanees/

Because of EFL rules, the manager faces a juggling act with loan players: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/charlton-athletic-boss-facing-juggling-act-with-loanees-following-chelsea-deal/

Jacko is not expecting to sign a striker who is a free agent before the end of the season: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/will-charlton-athletic-sign-striker-free-agent-outside-transfer-window-johnnie-jackson-answers-that-question/

It has been confirmed that Chelsea paid £1.6m for Mason Burstow, addons bringing it to £2.2m.  I estimated £2m - £3m for a player who is all about potential, so the figure is a little less than I hoped for.  However, the loan back could well be useful with Jayden Stockley likely to be out for some weeks.
