With our very good start and Pennant all but confirmed I'd say this means Henry is not happening. Hope I'm wrong definitely room for him, but can't see it.
Whatever quibbles people may have about Pennant personally, the guy has lots of experience and will only strengthen our squad. If he can motivate himself, then there's no reason why he can't do a great job for us as he undoubtedly has quality.
If he does sign, it seems unlikely that we will also get Henry, but if Wolves aren't playing ball, there's not a lot we can do.
I first saw Pennant play for Notts county 17 years ago, when he was 15. he haven't grown since that day. I hope he is still hungry to prove himself ? Roger Johnson was OK for those 4 months so let's hope Pennant can have an Indian summer in the autumn of his career. If not we may have a winter of discontent before we spring forward towards the play offs. (thank you to Frankie Vali )
I hope that Pennant has the intelligence to understand we have (if true) given him a chance to prove himself again and he wants to play for the club and not just earn a final pay day. I was sceptical about Guy, but over the last few months I've grown to like him and I really hope he does well for this club.....hence if Guy says Pennant is ok to join the squad then I'll trust his judgement.

Think RM nails it here and I'd be suprised if anyone thought differently.
Wolves are holding out for close to a million for Henry and have turned down two bids from us ..... Talks still on going the deal is far from dead ... We are prepared to wait till jan if we have to .
Waiting til Jan seems like a calculated risk really... yeah they might be more willing to deal to avoid losing him for nothing, but if he does hit good form suddenly we could be looking at competition which does not seem the case right now - and with RD's rather frugal policies a desperate/determined team chucking big bucks around to save/redeem their season might gazump us. If we're going to get him in, I'd probably rather do it now if possible.
I'm not sure about paying over 500k for a player who is out of contract next summer, especially if he isn't interested in staying at Wolves, because surely they'd want him off their books and 500k is more than reasonable. Hold out to Jan. If we miss out we miss out.
Luzon has said he will look elsewhere if they can't get him. As he wants this sort of player in before the end of the transfer window I will assume this weekend is going to be very busy for the club.
If Henry lines up against us tomorrow I think we can pretty much conclude the deal is dead. If he's not in their squad then I think he will be heading to SE7.

If he lines up against us and whoever plays against him, has him in their pocket, and we cane them, we dont want him. ;o)

If Henry crocks one of our players it'll probably be for the best that we don't sign him!

Don't remember him having an "in" on CAFC news before but he may know Pennant or more likely Pennant's agent.
Or could be Charlton playing games with Wolves or Henry deal.
Wright joined Gillingham earlier this month on a rolling contract and has made an impressive start to life at the club.
The 25-year-old has made six appearances so far for Justin Edinburgh's side, who currently sit at the top of League One.
Not losing much by taking him in so why not.

Onwards and upwards.

In Guy we trust.
