    We will bide our time with Henry ... pretty certain by Sept 1st he will be a Charlton player ... Not sure we will wait till Jan

    Luzon has said that if Wolves mess him about he will look elsewhere which I think they may need to start doing. Henry would be good but I doubt he is the only target for that position and doesn't sound like he is.
  • It's pretty funny that we have gone from to many goalkeepers to not enough!
  • From our starting strike force on Saturday we had one who most agree is not going to be prolific and the other an 18 yo struggling to make an impact. On the bench TW has never looked like lasting 90 minutes since he joined. Igor is injured and is recovering from long term achilles. Only alternative just gone on loan until January.

    I think we need a striker!

    we have an Iranian world cup hero don't forget ;)
  • Really think we need some experienced right back cover unless Solly's knees are a medical miracle!

    Careful, RD might be reading and waiting for the opportunity to get Thuram back over

    Off of one league performance a forward with these stats below is being written off!


    Played 137, Scored 57

    Every 2.4 appearances, he will score... maybe :wink:

    His agent says personal details have been agreed and that the player wants to come back South ... And had told Wolves he is not signing a new contract just can't see wolves holding onto him till Jan when his fee will be halved

    What sort of ballpark fee are we talking if we sign him now ? Can't be much surely ?

    £250k is what we want to pay, £500k is what they want according to an unreliable source.

    Imagine it will depend on who blinks first.

    £250k does seem a bit cheap for a player like Henry. Think £500k is reasonable personally - even with a year left on contract. Really do rate him.

    Did we actually get £750k for him ? Astonishing bit of business if so.

    5k a week contract, for 3 years, which is what he had left on his deal, so not that astonishing, they basically bought out the rest of his contract with us with nothing else on top

    yeah but it doesn't work like that does it. We get the £750k now, so means we can use the wages elsewhere on top of the fee.

    I'm not saying we don't get the money to spend, I'm just saying it's not an "astonishing" fee for a player in the championship, and to prove the point, broke it down into something relatable. If the rumours are correct then that will cover the fee and probably a years wage for an incoming winger, something we lack, whilst not weakening our own team through the sale, as Fox, Bergdich and in the future THD and Edwards will be more than enough

    I agree its not an "astonishing" fee, but 750k for a player with the injury problems he has had over the last couple of seasons is a decent bit of business. Yeah it does seem likely it's just his wages, but transfer fees don't work like that do they, its just the value of a player itself that is represented by the fee, and 750k for Wiggins was good stuff for the club.

    So you could argue that its effectively a 1.5m 'income' over the 3 years (up front fee and then the saving on the wages)

    A bit puzzled by this, do we really need Henry ? If he is so keen to come he must think he's going to play every week. haven't we got a fairly decent Icelandic winger who plays on the right who many consider to be one of the best players in the championship ?

    Henry is a left winger.

    He's a right winger.

    Henry is a left winger.
    He's a right winger.
    If he come to CAFC he will have to learn to play on the left unless Johann is injured.
    I can remember him playing as an attacking mid fielder as well.

  • Pretty sure JBG ca play on both sides
  • I agree I'd expect him to play on the left and swap during the game with JBG. But his best quality is his crossing so it would seem strange signing him only to play him on the left which would effect him a fair bit.

    I'm not sure that's how transfer fees work. We don't have to pay his salary for the next three years so our P&L benefits from that over the next three seasons. The transfer fee is a separate payment and isn't necessarily linked to his salary.
  • Henry is a right footed winger. In squad terms I would see him as a replacement for Eagles if he comes in.

    More a replacement for Bulot. Bergdych (sp?) is obviously capable of playing midfield but presumably will have to play left back on occasion, or potentially permanently

    No politics on this thread chaps.

    typical, every time some one pipes up with a "right wing" comment SHG has to shut the thread down
