Looks like the Crewe lad wasn’t as available as we’d thought and an agent has tried to force Crewe into selling.
Also I pray these Jonny rumours aren’t true!!
I think its more that this agent is after a fee, as they mention 'a deal'.
This is what's lost me.
Why would that affect anything? If he's not his agent, he doesn't get a fee. Simple?
If Crewe have accepted the offer and player is happy to join, I don't understand how that stops it?
has me flummoxed too ….
Cause the agent thinks he's worth a lump of the cash that Crewe want to bring in
but the agent isn't affiliated to either the player or Crewe so how can it affect anything?
Presumably this "agent" has been touting himself about as Kirk's representative and trying to do business and get a fee. The club has then reached out to Crewe and been told that the guy is a complete shyster and nothing to do with Kirk at all.
Hopefully we've then waved a wedge of money under the noses of Crewe and the REAL agent and can get something done but that seems unlikely (we're still Charlton after all.)
What time is his move to a championship club being announced?
Stupid way to judge a player
We all know Chuks is better than Bonne but who's the one playing in the championship
But we all know why Chuks isn't.
Why has Maddison had one loan spell in the championship, that by any metric, was an absolute disaster, yet Williams is about to sign for a championship club for the 7th time?
All those managers can't be wrong can they?
7th is a slight exaggeration, but your point is valid. His career has been going backwards though, he can’t get into a League 1 team currently.
Yes 7 is wrong, it would actually be the 8th. That doesn't include Palace.
He can't be going backwards, Bowyer said we improved him
No it will be the 6th time he signs for a different Championship club (not counting Ipswich as he rejoined them in 2014). Ipswich, Forest, MK Dons, Ipswich again, Sunderland and now Cardiff. Played about 65 times in those spells, scoring 3 goals. He's not done particularly well.
What divison were we in?
League 1
Not the second time we signed him we weren't
No if we’re being a bit pedantic I guess you are right. Personally I just see that as a new contract. I was never disagreeing with your point either way, he does keep the moves. But at the same time he isn’t really delivering either.
Wouldn't read too much into the article being taken down.
It reminded me of some of the nonsense that appeared on our own OS.
It sounded like the manager having a bit of a strop so it's either just been taken down because it's not helpful or to be replaced by a proper update.
There were some Bowyer quotes up this morning that were "intresting" and then quickly removed. No idea why because they were in no way controversial.
What did they say?
It was when we unvailed Smith and talked about academies not producing box-2-box midfielders and how they were all cookie cutters. I thought it was intresting because I 100% agree with it and have said it dozens of times.

Thought this was a brand new era?
As for the other bids, anything could happen...but this is Charlton - so they probably won't!
Will be interesting like you say.
You can't blame people if they are a bit sceptical until they actually see something actually happen.
I say that rather than 11pm because there will always be the chance of a deal being done late but left till tomorrow to announce
