When you share news you get shot down by a small number on here - I keep rumours I hear to myself now. I didn't know about Ephraim but seems like one of thsoe opportunities that was too good to pass up. Some will say we don't need him but we need players that can add to the quality of the side and it is a very positive move for the club, if as I expect it will pan out - he becomes a Charlton player.
Supaclives prediction is definitely 5 points earnt by the end of Jan or 1 point lost. Mutleys and lancashires are too wishy washy. Are you throwing your hat into the ring in the Journoff supaclive?
You said that last week and I think if I remember you said we'd getting a big signing in January (or wasn't that you?)
I've seen rumours on here before about Waggy going, I'd be sad to see him go but it would make sense as Green is keeping ahead of him and now Ephraim coming in.
Agreed, i like Waggy but playing as well as you ever had and getting dropped can't be that encouraging if there are other offers on the table and it would make sense, particularly with the Hulk coming in on what i see effectively as a trial given the way he's burnt his bridges
A quote from my mate, "Although he's billed as a winger, he can play anywhere along the front line. He's really quick and it's great when he runs at people. We [Col U] wanted to keep him here, but when he became available ,we couldn't compete with QPR. I think he'll be terrific for you".
Sounds good as i think Waggy and Wiggins are the only two players in the club who really run at people. Green is tricky but don't think running at people is his main strength.
Between the three of them, Wagstaff, Green and now Ephraim seem to fulfil different styles of wing play. Wagstaff provides the energy and the willingness to get back and help defend, Green will be flinging balls in for the strikers and now the new kid on the block to really run at defenders and scare them a bit. Seems to me that Powell can cover all his bases nicely here, and alter accordingly during the game.
Going by the interview on the OS, Hogan doesnt like playing on the right wing so isnt a replacement for Waggy. He literally gives up a different dimension from the left or behind the main striker if a game isnt going to plan, or if BWP isnt fit i could see him playing just behind Kerm.
mates a qpr fan and thinks we have had a right touch getting this lad in. thinks he has got a lot of potential and is already good enough for starting spot in a good championship team.
Sephens would suprise me- just had Op and is clearly in Chrissy's plans - If we sign Ephraim permenantly it might be best for Waggy to go out on loan somewhere- will be lots of takers in League One I suspect. Would be a mistake to sell him because he is still improving IMO.
I really hope he is the ideal strike partner for BWP. If he can play behind the striker and be the link between midfield and attack he would be like a younger, quicker, more classier version of Hayes.

Francis is on loan to bournemouth until January! Why loan him for a couple of months when we are not desperate? Because he is a top championship player and a signing with an eye on next season. No insider knoweldge- just adding 2 and 2 together to make 4!
Really dont want waggy to go unless its a team offering very good money (a good few hundred thousand) to give Powell a bit more cash to spend in January. Never a big fan of selling off our youth products, unless they're not good enough for the first team, but Waggy is.
Would have to be a couple of very good signings lined up if he is out the door.
But he is clearly behind Green and Ephraim for a right wing slot and isn't yet a forward who plays just behind the front man -which I think mis the position he will end up in and be effective too.

Looking forward to seeing him come off the bench in the 70th and scaring the bejeezus out of the oppo defence.
I predict a couple of BWP hattricks as a result...
Waggy and Stephens in the last week
If anyone has meat to these rumours then post it ,
I would hate to see waggs go , Stephens aint been here long enough to worry about
