I have been to see Mystic Meg and she says an attractive Belgian has told her that there will be more Footballers brought into a Club called Charlton Athletic. One of the Clubs mentioned begins with B and ends with H. Also other Footballers will brought in from a Continent called Europe, especially a Country called France. That is all she has told me.

I heard a serious and well founded rumour that senior and respected recruitment and scouting professionals at the club had left or were leaving because meticulously planned scouting programmes were being over-ridden and ignored in favour of signing network or network/owner favourites who would clearly not be up to the standard required in the Championship.
Sorry if this is already common knowledge but I only heard it this week. It seems much of the scouting network has been out of action since the end of last season which could explain the lack of rumours.
Not sure if Bauer is an official scouting recommendation or just another Roland love child.
Reams on ITTV now backtracking and saying that Yann will be revisited in January, and the other two 'talks are ongoing', followed by 'if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen'.
I'm thinking of getting into that racket. Lionel Messi to join Charlton on a season long loan after his sex change. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. I'm ITK you see
To be ITK, you are being far too specific.
You need to give some general information "I hear that a club [never name them] is interested in selling us quality player [try not to say what position, otherwise you will be tied to it] soon [never, ever give deadlines]"
Then wait for some facts to come out about anything or anyone [doesn't matter who] and adjust your story accordingly. If nothing happens say "it was all set to go, but the agent got in the way at the last minute"
Bingo! you too have joined the ITK, football rumour version of cold reading.
In other news, I hear that Cousins was in first thing this morning to start training, before anyone else is back.

@AgentRumour: Bongani Khumalo is set to start pre-season training with Charlton following his release by Spurs. #cafc #thfc
Yeah he's a Saffa. Don't think he could cut it at this level as he didn't really turn heads on his respective loans. He might be worth a trial, like Bikey last preseason, and be a squad player. However, if we looking at "better than 12th" then I don't think he fits the bill.

I didn't think we employed scouts as such any more since L1? I thought we worked with a network of self-employed scouts who work on comission? I am willing to be laughed out of court as a know-nothing sporting ignoramus.
Serge Gnabry is a loan (from Arse) rumour to us I've heard twice now. Probably just one of 'those' type of rumours though....
Seeing as Gnabry plays right midfield, does that mean Gudmundsson would be shifted to the left next season? Can't see our two best players forcing each other out of the team.

I called this while ago and was laughed at ...
Not saying I'm right yet but I'm almost there ...
