    These kind of signings very rarely work at Charlton. Avoid.
    Absolutely.  When I read that bit earlier in the thread about his behavior at Bournemouth, I wouldn’t want him anywhere near us.  What is it with these self entitled little tossers that thing they deserve another chance if they want to waste their career away.  Once they get to a certain age, the likes of Ibe, Ravel Morrison or whoever shouldn’t really be given any more ‘chances’.  Why should they have the privilege of getting paid a good wage, in a profession so many lower/non league players would give their right arm for, only to continually screw it up and move onto the next club?  Another example of where the game is warped.  It’s their fault their career has turned to crap
    I would imagine that despite his problems there will be quite a few clubs interested in signing him. There are always clubs willing to take a chance on players with talent regardless of their falls from grace. Even if we are interested in him I’m confident there will be bigger fish than us will to take him. 
    How things have changed.......back in the day even the slightest whiff of someone socially misbehaving was considered a slight on the clubs image and they were history. I know of a couple of young professionals at Charlton who were released due to behaviour not in keeping with the clubs image.....it was hushed up.
    One was a really brilliant young full back who was destined for a highly successful career.
    Nowadays it would be just a slap on the wrists but it was ‘adios’ back then. 
    The clubs image was ALL important.

    Don't know who this steve fella is with Adkins this morning but I'm not sure he's the answer to any of the positions we need filling. Oliver on the other hand looks hungry and up for a good old run about. Definitely looks ready to fetch the ball at any given opportunity
    It always happens at the start of pre season training, where players report back overweight. Give Steve a month and he'll be back into shape and match fit  ;)
    Who's that Steve or Oliver B)

    edit: sorry, should have read the whole post, the moment has gone now :/

  • throw another name in the hat Daniel Sturridge ?



    Ridiculous to think he'd come here. Would be an unbelievable signing though.
  • Have I missed something, why do we think signings will be announced today? Or am I being wooshed?

    We're all being whoooshed.

    Somehow we've convinced ourselves that today is the day ........ like we did yesterday. :neutral:



    Yet every time the same thing happens, same raised expectations, same disappointment and blame.

    WIO.... Oh, why bother
    You're talking about England here of course

    We are going to sign about ten players by the end of August so today is as good as day as any.  It will happen :-) 
  • Ibe wouldn't have agreed to cancel his Derby contract if he didn't have a new club lined up already, or at least cast iron offers on the table.

    However, Henry Irving broke this rumour and since he's quite a recognisable face for the club, I don't think he would have done it if it was a genuine tip-off.
    Henry Irving speculated about him, nothing more. He's local and free. That was it.

    Other people commented on it and now it's a rumour.that fake sites post to try and look in the know 

    It's a classic example of how rumours feed on themselves to grow and gain credibility. A few people repeat it and suddenly he's been spotted at the training ground.

    I wish I could claim I did it as an experiment but I didn't.



    A just goes to show, there very much can be smoke without fire.

    Well I’m blowed, I didn’t know that @Henry Irving was a football agent 😯. You old dark horse Henners 😉.

    Jordon Ibe, someone asked if we were in for him. I think Cawley has now dismissed every name linked on here
  • To be fair I like Cawley but he is a spoil sport when we have a rumour on here about a player and then he dismisses it out of hand. and kills the rumour dead and buried and rhea we have to start another one. 
  • edited July 2021
    I hate when Cawley tweets haha, all he does is confirm a signing that's been touted on here for weeks before the official Twitter does or shut down what could be a promising signing for us 

    I appreciate him but I don't at the same time, sort of like a tough loving parent 
  • Ibe agent .. putting his name about most likely  wants to return south 2+2 = Charlton 
    Henry Irving is Ibe's agent? 
    Yep, that's me. As you know he crashed his car walking distance from my home in Bromley.

    Might have been the invoice for my services I'd just given him.

    Exactly 
    He kills all the rumours stone dead but allows the fish puns to continue. 
    He's nothing more than a pilchard
