Coventry fan at work said supposedly Clive Platt will sign for us this week. 6ft4 striker, big lump, scores very little.
Crickey his stats don't set the world alight , prepare to be disappointed if he does sign , whats happened to signing young and up and coming players? i know you need a mixture of both , if we do sign this guy , could see him coming in for stick due to his non goalscoring record.
Having someone like ALF would be a luxury in our squad right now. Yes he isn't proven at this level but nor was Benson yet he still scored goals, don't think Le Fondre would get ahead of BWP but in injury cases then he would, but I don't think we are that cash rich to do that in this league.
After what seems like 100 years of supporting Charlton, I've never known a close season like this one.
So who are we signing today?

Back on le Fondre, apparently Coventry are in advanced talks with him and Blackpool might be interested, so maybe Sheff Wed might miss out which will be excellent news for us, they don't have much attacking wise
And Rotherham have also apparently rejected Wednesdays bid
Personally, I woudn't be excited if we got him. He's his own biggest fan. Let him go to Coventry and compare ego's with marlon king, before realising that he's at a club that are 2 divisions higher than his level of ability.
My old man has seen him play 3 or 4 times in the flesh when hes been up north on business, doesnt rate him at all!Its funny how its taken him a number of seasons now to get that big move he wants!

Do we anticipate Hayes getting better than what he's showing at the moment or is he up to speed and playing his normal game? I must confess, i don't remember seeing him play before and he just looks like an average journeyman lower league striker to me.
C Wood?.. yes please, Kiwi built like an All Black back rower .. I just can't see WBA letting him go and I am not in favour of loans as he could be 'recalled' at any time and that would disrupt the team

I'm afraid you might be right .. at worst he'll be a foil for Wright-Phillips and (we all hope) at best he could blossom into a Grant Holt, albeit a smaller version

If you pay for the loan they can't be recalled without a clause in though I believe?
Would be a great signing imo, really impressed me at BHA and has always looked good for West Brom, albeit scoring record there is poor. Would complement our top 3 very well.

We could need up to 4 signings if Benson and Doherty go, which isn't impossible, 2 strikers and 2 centre backs.
that would be good news

They could meet up in Costa Coffee ?
only 19. remember seeing him come on in the world cup for new zealand. quite a stocky neil mellor looking fella.
scored 8 on loan at Brighton last season. Think he would be decent for us on loan.
He's tall so....... OK let's stop that joke now.
