01 Jun 2011 11:30:04 Andy Reid and Rob Elliott seen coming out of Manze's Pie and Mash shop with Tony Jiminez and Chris Powell. According to guy behind counter were both signing contracts with Charlton along with munching their Pies.
QPR have released 8 players according to ESPN , Mahon played with Powell at Watford but has hardly played due to injury . Rowlands might be worth a punt but I think we would pass on Lee Cook .
Surprised Borrowdale was not let go or Shittu and Fitz Hall .
Neil Warnock has begun his clear-out at QPR by releasing eight players.
Full-back Pascal Chimbonda, experienced midfielder Gavin Mahon and Greek winger Georgias Tofas lead the departures as Rangers prepare for life in the Premier League next season.
Youngsters Josh Parker, Lee Brown, Joe Oastler, Elliott Cox and Romone Rose have also been shown the door by Warnock.
The Rangers boss told: ''There are some really good lads with good quality among the eight we have released. This could be just what they need to go on and kick-start their careers. I wish them all the best.''
Warnock is also expected to tell fans' favourites Lee Cook and Martin Rowlands their futures lie elsewhere after they barely featured during Rangers' successful promotion campaign, but defender Peter Ramage has been verbally offered a new deal.
01 Jun 2011 11:57:41 I drive the 472 bus and have just dropped off Zander Diamond and Darren Purse in Charlton Village. When I asked them what they were up to, they requested directions to The Valley. Expect announcements this week. (0) (0) Tipical charlton , no expence spared! (0) (0)

Everyone knows the 472 doesn't go through the village : - )
"tipical" "expence" These Spanners/Nigels aren't too bright, are they
Borrowdale?. One of the best loan signings by PP. Warnock knows the value of a good solid 'squad member'. I'd love to have GaryB here on a full time basis.
iv just seen alan mccormack outside southends ground could he be returning?

Just heard from a Plymouth supporting mate that Charlton are still in with a shout of signing Yannick Bolasie. Charlton and Bristol city are both in talks with Bolasie. However, Charlton have decided to not make their offer public whereas Bristol have. Bolasie could favour a move to Charlton as he was raised in London and would like to move back rather than living in a dump like Bristol ------------------------------ Dont think Bristol's that much of a dump mate. I heard Charlton were linked a while ago but I think they've missed their chance. Also his best mate from Barnet Albert Adomah is at Ashton Gate so id be very surprised if goes Charlton

Nowich City fans favourite Chris Martin appears to have kicked his last ball for the club and will make a summer mover to L1 side Charlton Athletic who will also win the race to sign Cody Macdonald once the Canaries secure the sinature of Peterborough striker Craig Mackail-Smith.
Addicks boss Powell has also made enquiries to check on the availability of 28 year old Stoke winger Michael Tonge who has spent the last two years on loan at Preston and Derby whilst a further loan move for QPR striker Rob Hulse also looks on the cards.
Powell and his medical staff will monitor the fitness of Kelly Youga over the summer months too as the left back bids to get his career back on track after a 20 month injury. Powell may return to his former club Leicester City for the services of Tom Kennedy should Youga fail in his bid to win convince the Addicks boss that he s ready to return to action.
My close source form inside the club has informed me that we have had an approach for striker Paul Benson accepted, and he is currently in the act of agreeing personal terms.
I'm aware he joined you from Dagenham last summer and that I would possibly be better off asking them, but as he played at a higher level for you guys (not to mention the fact that your local rivals), I decided to ask you instead, whats the guy like? What are his strengths, weaknesses etc. Looking at his profile he seems pretty tall (although quite thin) so is he a target man, pacy, or an out and out striker?

what site? I want to post man of many traits and not great at any of them
So after one season in L1, Benson who hasn't been all that terrible, scored some vital goals at times and 32 is going to be sold for more than we brought him for and to replace Morrison. It's not going to happen.
Why all the Benno Bashing anyway? He scores goals which win games, you can't ask anything else of a striker. He has relatively good pace, is a pretty good striker of the ball, works his nuts off, can hold the ball up, get on the end of crosses, he's a decent poacher and good in the air. He's not amazing at anything, but he wouldn't be in League 1 if he was, and is doesn't have a crippling weakness in his game a la Abbott and Sodje had.
One of the more interesting FR's . I've googled Amos Youga and he does exist , not sure whether he is Kelly's brother or not . Has someone from here been on FM11 ?

Charlton's Kelly Youga to return to full training in Pre-Season with his brother Amos (centre back) also looking for a contract in England.

Charlton have offered 200k for Krystian Pearce of Notts co.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He would be a great signing. But we need to put a fast CB next to him to chase up his mistakes.
Wishfull thinking from a CL'r ? on FR

nicked off another site (not FR), interesting!
Paul Benson
The fee £400 k has been mentioned , if so that would be superb business for a 32 ( in October )year old who has never played above L1.
Paul Hayes would be a like for like replacement who is younger and more proven at this level .
Notice Mooney has been released in that list also .
wasnt that sid james' character name from carry on up the khyber?
