That must be bollocks. 27 and only played a handful of games in his career. If it isn't then our scout really is buying players via Championship Manager.
@soccer_sauce: Been informed Charlton are in initial discussions with Swiss club FC Thun for DF Michael Siegfried #CAFC
He's a defensive midfielder that can also play centre back (according to transfermarkt).....
I think we can rule out @soccer_sauce as a decent rumour "sauce" seeing as Siegfried is out of action for months due to injury according to his Facebook page.
Ain't got a clue but its the same source ( professional footballer ) who told me Henry would sign early part of this week :-/. Scoundrel is on a wind up i think.
I just wish that one day we sign a player I've actually heard of, without having to rely on someone reporting that he was pretty crap on Football Manager, or watching some blurred video of him scoring his only goal in five years seventeen times from various angles, then watching him celebrate ridiculously in slow motion whilst some euroband plays "exciting euro-rock music" in the background, whilst his teammates walked slowly back to the halfway line looking suprised but indifferent and scratching their nuts.
Oh for the simpler (but at Charlton unfortunately rare days) when you were genuinly excited to sign someone you had heard of and actually seen was GOOD, like Clive Mendonca, Darren Bent or Ralph Milne. More often hearing we had signed some useless clapped out reserve on a free or £35,000 from somewhere like Millwall, Rotherham or Southend in the hope he could last to the end of the season before hanging up his boots and leaving to run a boozer.
You lot think this thread is annoying, try reading it whilst sitting in a fire engine down at operation stack. Been here all night long and really could do with a rumour or two just to alleviate the monotony.

Doesn't look like we'll be signing a striker. Don't mind KAG getting more chances but if Luzon rates him that highly why wasn't he more involved at the end of last season rather than Church?
Q: We saw a new front pairing of Makienok and Watt tonight. Are you getting closer to knowing what you front partnership will be?
GL: “No. This season we have four good strikers and we will rotate.
“The best will play each game. It may be different, it may be the same. But every striker has their character and quality. They are different types of strikers and I will take the decision.”

Agree on the striker front. It's the centre back and left wing situation that is rapidly becoming critical. Need a couple in today to have them ready for the last few friendlies (the CB will need to get game time alongside Bauer as it appears from last night that Diarra is not a champ centre back).

It's pre season , we've also seen him have plenty of good games in defence but I do agree we need a centre back and left mid soon but there is still two weeks untill qpr, so aslong as we've got them in before then, I'm confident we'll have 2-3 before the Bolton game.

He'd be a superb signing for us.
Get him in quick.

Rumours are that he is very very bloody good
