McGeady might have an outside chance of getting into the Irish squad for the Euro play offs. But he has to play and he’s not getting much game time at a Sunderland so...
McGeady, Docherty, not filling me with confidence at all
We need bodies though to take the pressure off younger players that shouldn't have to plug the gaps during injury crises. We have seen how good our first 11 is when fit and firing.
I haven't followed every word Bowyer's been saying but think he said he wants 'bodies', and the two named meet that criterion in the guise of footballers. We are getting what we need on that basis.
Super deal would be something like JCH or Maddison. I think we will get JCH. We are just about 24 hours away from finding out, at least we know it won't be boring now
Maddison and JCH, a CB on loan and these 2, and I'd say it's pretty good business. Problem is it's looking more likely that these 2 will be the only incomings and we might still sell Taylor

I’d never heard of JCH until yesterday. Does he really count as a “Super Deal”?
To welcome our under 14s starting against Barnsley!
Seriously though surely he must know something to be posting stuff like that.
As @PaddyP17 says got to deliver if punting out stuff like that.
Fan engagement and milking the contrived sky sports transfer deadline day drama machine is all good and well if we bag some adequate signings and retain a squad permitting us to compete the remainder of the season...a very risky and naive strategy if there's no substance behind it.
Still feel optimistic at this late stage, perhaps my own naivety and overwhelming desire for us to have turned a corner after nigh a decade of being kicked in the proverbials by successive Charlton ownership but the next 29 hours will signal whether or not that optimism is misplaced.
Buckling up for tomorrow.
Never simple at Charlton!
Just wondering if Matts been out shopping with Tracey Leaburn, a la Leko!

Well that's hard to say, I'm just going by what we have been linked with. He has great potential, don't wanna sound like a broken record but he really is powerful, a lot stronger than Taylor and Bonne for instance from what I've seen and when he hits a ball it stays hit. I think Taylor could be a great mentor for him, with his body build he could be really imposing and he is quicker than Taylor just doesn't quite have the same flair Taylor has or quick thinking.
I've wanted him for ages, when he was mentioned before I only wasn't keen cause I thought he was injured, now he isn't he would be a welcome addition and is a player Bowyer could really work on and improve imo. Lee has/had improved Taylor, Leko, Bonne and to some extent I would say even Davison. I don't see why JCH would be any different.
So long as Taylor doesn't go I genuinely think it's a signing we should be excited about
Reading the Bristol Live blog it appears Bristol Rovers will ask for more money but will let him leave if their valuation is met.
Yep, sounds like 2 mill is their demand. I can't make my mind up about the fee. Bit bizarre really as if we got him for 1.5 I would say bargain, 2 just seems like a lot which for me defies my own logic. Isn't my money at the end of the day but he definitely improves us

It's almost as if half a million pounds is a very large sum of money...
Age is not an argument, especially as its only until the end of the season. Pratley will be 35 in April
Selective choosing that, Pratley is a machine. McGeady has had a fair amount of injury problems in the past. I think it’s an exciting signing, but a gamble yes imo

McGeady has played 21 games this season for Sunderland, scoring 6 times.
Another one for 30 minutes off the bench.
