I fully expect dicko to be going out on loan and can only assume that a deal was close but missed the deadline. i don't like having players in the squad that don't want to play for us. And i know he cant be on that much money but surely it would be better to offload him. Bit strange imo.
Maybe parky still see's him doing a job for us?

or maybe we'll do a swap for Jackson when we have a bit more cash and want to use Dickson as a makeweight.
As McKenzie is likely not to be match fit it's a hell of a gamble to let Dickson go. Plus who knows, maybe we were trying to get another striker in before the end of the day and failed and if we had maybe Parky would have let Dickson go, or maybe the two clubs just couldn't agree a swap deal for Jackson. All in all I'm happy he's staying.
Or he could play in the hole.
Or as second striker in 4-4-2.
Or as cover at left wing, if needed.
That's versatility for you. That's what Curbs often looked for in a player.
But McKenzie himself said today ....... he really wants to play up front.

It's about the 8th comment on the thread it says: (in respect of the story that Dickson was about to go out to the Gills)

I'm sorry to say the story is completely untrue and yet another of Charlton's games. We have been trying to sign Chris for weeks and indeed did make a couple of offers. The fact remains we can't force Charlton to sell to us and it is my view they won't sell to us in case we make him a better player(which i think Mark would). I feel desperately sorry for Chris as i believe Charlton are playing with his career but he is out of contract in 9 months and we will sign him then if not before. Trust me,we have tried desperately hard to sign Chris but have been ignored by Charlton at every stage lately.
No doubt there's a bit of tension between the Jill's Board and ours ......?
It'll be interesting when we play the Jills here and Scally rocks up.
He gives every impression of being the Third Division equivalent of Slime-man Jordan.
Hi BFR, no doubt as finances are pinched at many clubs, there's a surplus of players desperate for a contract who are free and wage demands wouldn't be an issue.
So Parky could have had his pick, no doubt.
But he's evidently chased down McKenzie because of his Prem and Championship experience - and that he seemed to be the best available/affordable to do the job as cover for Burton.
From what I know of Chris, he really wants to play for us. I guess above all he wants to play, which is surely understandable?
What is scally doing assing about on chat forums? i hate that millwall tosser
Fleets moving might give him his bench place back but he'll be a little disappointed that McKenzie's no doubt slotted into the squad ahead of him.
He's obviously been unsettled because of the Jill's transfer gossip dragging on, and no doubt has been saying his piece to management - but it's really up to Dicko to prove in training why he should be in the team.
If he's hungry and shows that he wants to be part of the 1st team whatever the price he has to pay, then he'll be involved.
Because that's the type of player that management want in their team.
He does want to play for us but is frustrated by his lack of opportunities which i can understand, i also know that Gillingham corted him and when people are blowing smoke that far up your arse and telling you that CAFC are ruining your career your head could be turned pretty easily
Chris has not said a word publicaly about us or Gillingham he is not forcing the move by slating Parky or refusing to try at training and i think it is unfair to cmment that "i don't like having players in the squad that don't want to play for us"
Parky has got it right at the moment and fair play that he is showing a strengh in his conviction of style and formation he also must know that he may have to change the formation through results or injury at some stage and Dicko may have the pace and drive to aid that.
He may go out on Loan but most teams have 4 main strikers and IMO he is one of those 4 however Izale,Dicko, Tuna will compete for the 3rd and 4th spot
I think the squad seems together and very balanced and i didnt want to see a single member leave so i am very happy today
I do wonder also if we are being belligerent because of Scally#s continued sniping.
exactly, From what i can gather Chris was led to believe at one stage that they had met the asking price or near enough, only to be told that was not exactly true
Scally is a prize knobend
What the West Ham fan said
not really a WILD assumption. Parky quoted on the sky news site.
"Chris is a player who can score goals for us this season. However, he has a desire to play first-team football and he's concerned about his international prospects being damaged by not being in our team.
"I've said to him that if he works hard he might get in our team, but I don't want to keep anyone who doesn't want to be here.
"It's a big season for us and we need everyone pulling in the same direction. Anything is possible, everyone has a price and if the offer is made and we feel its right, he can go."
I might have read the situation wrong.
Dickson could see the light on the way to Dartford, change his attitude, knuckle down and play for the team, I just can't see, this side of hell freezing over, that he will be able to do this. He is better off in a team where he is the main bright spark amongst dim slow burners like I imagine they will be at Priestfield if Scally has anything to do with it.
