    Charlton have agreed a deal on principle for Fleetwood’s Josh Morris according to sky sports.
    Sounds like the sort of player you need in a promotion battle:

    On 4 May 2019, Morris was involved in a controversial incident described as "The most unsporting goal in Home Park history".[55]

    During an EFL League One fixture between Plymouth Argyle and Scunthorpe United, Plymouth goalkeeper Matt Macey attempted to throw the ball out of play so he could receive treatment for a suspected broken ankle. However, Morris ran to retrieve the ball to keep it in play and subsequently chipped the injured keeper to equalise.

    In what has been described as an "appalling lack of sportsmanship" [56] and condemned by Scunthorpe United chairmen Peter Swann,[57]Scunthorpe refused to allow Plymouth to score a conciliatory goal. Plymouth won the match, but the result saw both teams relegated to the fourth tier.

    Following the match, Swann stated he was "very disappointed" with both Morris and the senior players involved and apologised "wholeheartedly" to everyone who had witnessed the event.

    Didn't Josh Morris absolutely terrorise us for Scunthorpe a couple of seasons ago? Scored a pair of screamers up there 
    Yeah scored two screamers

    Why do we always get rid of people then look for a replacement? Rather than do what other clubs do - get the replacement in, then agree to let your player go?

    Would rather we didn't panic buy now, could end up with more deadwood to shift in the summer.

    Josh Morris is a solid League 1 player, always rated him. Changed the game when he came on against us a few seasons ago for Scunthorpe. Slight concern that it's fairly apparant he's not Plan A (or B, C or D) but think he'll do a job.

    Fuck off have we sold Maddison and replaced him with someone who hasn’t scored a single goal all season.

    Maybe we are and that’s why Williams has not been announced!

    Does seem that way, disappointing if true. I suspect Morris would have been lower down on the target list, a 29 year old whose never played above L1 screams of a panic signing to me.

    Dont care if he doesnt score, provided he gets a few assists, has six of those (three in the League)

    I've been pretty positive all day but feels like we really are signing a late option there. Hope he proves me wrong.

    So what happens if Williams and MM stay, as their moves fall through?

    2 players who know we don;t want them, left to wander around the training ground? Can't imagine Maddison's attitude will get better in that situation.
    Better to not try at all just in case it hurts their feelings?
    2 constructive answers to this but can always rely on you for a pointless bit of sarcasm. 
    I’ll be honest, your question didn’t come across as genuine hence the tone of my reply.

    “Can’t imagine Maddison’s attitude will get better in that situation” reads to me like you’re ready to jump all over the management team again. In truth, Maddison’s attitude is already god awful with no prospect of improving with or without the transfer saga.

    I broadly agree with the other two responses you got with regard to Williams.
    When have I jumped all over tbe management team in relation to this? All I've said is we need to ensure we replace anyone who leaves. Even said on another thread that I backed Bowyer's stance over players like MM.

    I’ve been trying to not to be negative but Christ, this is a bit depressing.

    Who says we've done that? From the speed we've moved it sounds like we went into today with our list and we're working our way through it. Randall, Kirk, Graham, Solomon-Otabor and Morris. We've been knocked back a lot and we're still going. If you're right up to the cap then you can't afford to get the new player in first because if the deal falls through you're over the cap and you're in trouble. I'm sure if we'd got Kirk sorted this morning like we'd hoped then we would have held fire until we moved on someone like Maddison to make room

    If we don't sign anyone who's a significant upgrade on playing Albie Morgan as a winger, we have failed massively. I'd argue it isn't even worth signing a player if they're not that.

    Underwhelmed with Morris if I’m honest, but as always will support the boys

    Morris not an upgrade on Williams or Maddison... Kirk or Randall I'd have said good bizz, but not exactly inspiring there
