    be lucky to give her away !!

    As for Rowan Vine, I reckon this is a goer. We can't afford much so get Vine to settle up his contract at QPR. We pay a signing on fee as further compensation and bob's your Uncle. Expect him to be signed by Saturday.

    He'd be an idiot to fly tip leaving his name and address on his mail too!

    according to him he just paid some guy in a white van to get rid of it. he should get on the phone to rogue traders.
    [cite]Posted By: Chris_from_Sidcup[/cite]Something tells me that Freddy was lying. There is no way a footballer who was the next big thing at Southend, cost Wolves 1.5m and then cost Coventry over a million as well, is only on 1k a week.

    well he's a pikey, so i can't imagine his demands were that high.



    as for Rowan Vine, he did play for Parky, scored 10 in 36 games. More of a goal creator than scorer; might be a better option than Bauza or Thor, but he's certainly not the 20+ a season striker we are looking for. If we move quick we could have him in the squad for the watford game, so we can get a good look at him. although he might better offers than having a trial with us.

    Vine looks like he could be a decent replacement for Burton. Holds it up, creates chances for others and scores one in every four games.

    Eastwood the finisher to play off him *crosses fingers*
  • why bother with a trial if he's played under Parky before?

    If we couldn't afford to offer Burton a contract, what is the point of offering a large one to Vine or Eastwood? Are we just going to waste hundreds of thousands on average players to make sure we go bankrupt this time?

    I do wonder sometimes if people can do the math.

    since then he suffered a double leg break and was out for a whole season. not played a great deal since then either.

    plenty of time to sign a strike partnership and get them to gel. Oh, I forgot, and to get them fit.

    Colin - I might have missed the quote from Parky or RM that said we COULDN'T afford to offer Burton a contract.

    It was my understanding - from what Burton and his agent have been quoted as saying - that we DIDN'T offer him contract.

    And what's 'Math'?

    From the rumours on here and a bit of guess work, it sounds like Burton was offered a 2 year deal elsewhere and we were only going to offer 1 year. He made it clear he wanted 2 years, so we didn't bother offering him the 1 year deal knowing it would be knocked back. That has nothing to do with weekly wage, and I doubt he is earning any more per week with his new club than he was with us.

    Anyone who thinks we're getting Le Fondre is mad... will go to a top champ club. Eastwood would be a great signing

    What we need is a player who could be a bit of an Enforcer.

    I overheard Charlton Manager Phil Parkinson talking on his mobile earlier today and I definitely heard him say "Rowan Vine"

    FFS £1.5 million !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! £500K !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RM said a small amout of cash for transfers which means he has looked down the back of his sofa etc a small amount of cash at the level we are it is £50 and a Boots voucher -------------------- that will be nearer to what we have to spend than £1.5 million ----FFS.

    Vine and Eastwood ? Parky was talking to his Mrs and off to B+Q for a grape vine and picking up an old Eastwood movie from tescos.

    From FR:

    "Charlton are on the verge of signing free agent Stern John."


    Personally, I think he's rubbish.

    hey im knew on this site but been reading for a while, cant really see the eastwood thing happening, le fondre would cost way too much. Unfortunately i can see some truth in the stern john rumour, typical charlton striker:injury prone and doesn't score. Great.
