    loads of speculation right now and only 2 or 3 will sign.

    As long as at least one is a striker who can actually score goals !

    What about Gary Goals?

    He might be a goal machine, but his scissor skills could use some refinement.

    Also... "The Penos", I'm definitely referring to them as this from now on!

    Is Gary Goals another player who has 'come out'?
  • £1m for Stephens would be decent but I believe he has a salon close with Oldham.
    Whilst we don't necessarily need the money in may be that there is somebody else lined up and fill the same role. It is a shame though because I've really grown to like him this season

    He may have already arrived on loan, instead of replacing Cousins he may be here to replace Stephens.
  • Stephens would be a big loss he is a fantastic player, but did hear he was still unsettled in London and wanted to return north

    Dale's got a salon?

    used to but it had to close according to Swisdom


    : - )

  • I read that he has a Salon close to Oldham. Like just outside Oldham is Dale's Salon

    So I'll repeat.....no major incoming deals planned so far. All quiet at #cafc

    Richard Cawley ‏@RichCawleySLP 49m
    Not to say Duchatelet won't spend. Just that still finding his feet at #cafc. Whirlwind time.

    Could be a chance of Yohann Thuram, a goalkeeper at Standard Liege, coming in to #cafc. But initially might be just to train.

  • I read that as funny talk for sell-on clause.... or was that a whoosh moment?
  • Stephens has proved me wrong last few months. Didn't think he could cut it but has been one of our best players this season. Would be a big loss so hopefully he doesn't leave at this stage of the season.

  • I apologise - it's a sell on clause with Oldham. That'll teach me not to dictate to my phone whilst I am not paying attention
  • Yorkshire Post today:

    Former Hull City winger Stewart carried out a medical at Thorp Arch last night and was expected to confirm his transfer to Leeds this morning.

    Contract Renewal

    @MrBobClock Believe that Powell has been asked to come up with list he wants to offer new deals to.

    Incoming Transfers

    @stallion1974 There is intention to spend and invest in squad. But I don't think they'll be rushed into quick deals right now.

    Stephens

    @MrBobClock There are clubs looking at him. Will be same for few whose contracts are running down.

    Considering how much he has improved this season i would be sad to see him go. However with contracts up for renewal and if he does want to relocate back further up north then i wish him luck. I would prefer more that £1m but with only a few months left on his contract we may not be able to afford to be picky.

    This would mean that this needs to be done in conjunction with considering who SL have available and in what positions.For example it would be pointless acquiring a new centre back if Ben Haim was available.

  • The only thing i hope that if they are not 'rushing into deals' that we dont lose our next few matches because we havent got the quality, sometimes getting a few quick deals is better than waiting 3 weeks for a player then realising we cant get him and by that time the transfer window is shut
  • Saw Lambert is looking for a midfielder, could be back in for Stephens if his bid for Hoolahan is turned down.
  • now we have missed out on Stewart and Sordell crocked we are really light on bodies
  • lets be honest and fair


    scp told dale if a decent offer comes in that benefits both parties then Dale can go

    Dale has put in a real quality effort this season thus far if that means he gets a deal that moves close to where he needs to be good luck to him and I hope that he gets reward from his effort

    Agreed, whether or not Stephens' heart is in a move back home or not, on the pitch he's been playing his most consistently well since he signed for Charlton. If we can get a suitable replacement/improvement, I would be happy for him to move on and with no bitterness.
  • Would be very happy for Dale to stay. His performances this season have been very good. If he needs to get back up north and the deal suits the club then good luck Dale.
  • now we have missed out on Stewart and Sordell crocked we are really light on bodies

    No reason why we won't see some youth players start to make their way into the squad, possibly poyet/munns as they at most like Stephens playing style wise

    I think we won't. At least not yet. There will be loans coming in to cover the deficit.

    wow. earth-shatteringly ahead of the game with the rumours there :)
  • Stephens would be a required player for any Club in the Championship that wants to be pushing for the top 6.Monay and a god Contract could make that desire to be up north desire disappear.

    the last time we flooded the team with loans it left us somewhere up the creek (and I don't mean Creek Road)!
