So just who is the "they" who changed it at the last minute?
Good to see the Club communicating more also. We know they can't comment on every single bit of gossip or speculation but good to see them do so sometimes to put things straight.
Henry, he mentions the "Dubai based agent"... I'd personally want an agent that can see me play every now and again and was in the same country. Maybe that's only me?
Sounds like he's getting messed around to me. Powell is probably the only reason he hasn't signed for another club yet.
Agreed. That's exactly how I read it. Sounds as though his agent is trying his luck, leaking news stories and so on - trying to drum up some interest.
Meanwhile Powell does actually want to keep Ceddy around - and I dare say this is keeping Ceddy around at the moment. I doubt he would be training with the U21s, prepared to go to Spain and keeping up appearances if he didn't want some form of future here.

The 'they' is indeed quite ambiguous.
Indeed. Could well be the agent and player but Powell said
"“We got very close last week and right at the last minute they changed it again. Ceddy is well within his rights to turn it down and his Dubai-based agent has advised him not to sign.”
So "they" changed it and Ceddy then turned it down? Why would ceddy turn it down if ceddy changed it?
If "they" changed it meaning Ceddys team. Why would Ceddy then refuse to sign. Seems obvious it was Charltons negotiating team that changed it and Ceddy wouldn't sign.

That's how I'm reading it, but I don't really like taking it like that. Doesn't fill me with much confidence for Powell to be talking that way openly, I can't see "them" being happy with him about it.. Combined with his prior talk about frustration regarding lack of transfers.
With both of these points we all know, or had a fairly good inclination, that this was the case. However, by coming out and openly confirming it.. Surely he's not doing himself any favours? I'd hate to see him land in hot water for simply engaging in the fans and keeping us aware of what's going on; as alien a concept as that may be to the board.

Doesn't it mean they changed their demands? And then the club withdrew.
Evina is leaving for first team football, can anyone blame him? He is a very talented footballer who imo would walk in to alot of championship teams, it is just unfortunate for him that we have one of the best left backs in the league ahead of him
Agree totally.
Slight exaggeration his talents there. Walk into any Championship team? Really?

Club withdrew ? Didn't CP say Ceddy wouldn't sign ?
“We got very close last week and right at the last minute they changed it again. Ceddy is well within his rights to turn it down and his Dubai-based agent has advised him not to sign.”
SCP refers to'we' which I have taken to mean Charlton so my interpretation of 'they' was Ceddy's team of advisers and that they changed their aspirations.
Originally I was under the impression that he was looking for a two year deal,possibly this was accepted and then his advisers wanted something else.The fact that he then speaks about a 'Dubai-based agent' makes me feel that SCP is trying to make a point.

I believe old Dicky J has read the situation most accurately.
Powell says “He’s since been training with the U21s. He’s not training on his own, as was incorrectly reported, and has been told to report in and train with the guys that are there." that sounds like another dig. i think i read a quote from the agent saying Ceddy was training on his own so looks to me like SCP is not happy with Ceddy's team/agent

I read 'they'as a reference to the Dubai based agent,SCP would not refer to anyone negotiating for CAFC in those terms.

However, if that was the case, the club would not have published that piece.
What is clear, Powell wants him and for whatever reason, hasn't got him.
