Someone make up another rumour, it was fun while it lasted
This is a bit more than a rumour. I’ve been told we are signing Conor Ogilvie from Portsmouth for £500k. Just a day after we could have signed him for free.
‘Whilst Harry Kane has agreed to return to training, he will not “give up his dream” to play with Chris Gunter at Charlton.’ From Footychat on Twitter.

Oh so you've heard the other rumour that Katrien is coming back as Chief Negotiator then?
Never forget when she tried to sign Kyle Dempsey from Fleetwood, yet didnt realise he was on loan from Huddersfield
I spoke to someone involved in lower league recruitment this afternoon.
"Market is fucked, clubs offering pennies in the pound. Clubs won't know exactly where they are short until they sort their loans. If no one blinks clubs will go out of business and others will be fielding teams of kids. There will be a record number of unemployed players".
That's about the SP as I understand it also.
I think this initial post and the response, given who BM works for, are especially worthy of consideration and thought.
This isn't just about Charlton, although that is all our priorities the structure of football below the premier league may be undergoing a sea change.
I’m hearing that the smash this league, Premiership and Champions league in 5 years is actually, the ambition for the women’s team. An we can look forward to visiting, those league 2 grounds we have not knock off our “watched Charlton” at list.
So there are going to be loads of unemployed players and clubs will end up playing their U23s?
How does that work?
Because at the moment the clubs won't pay the players what they want and the players won't accept what the clubs are offering. If no one blinks, no one will sign anyone.

Right. So the players will take pay cuts and on we go.

Or the clubs pay more. Massive game of poker, who folds first? Exactly the same with what clubs are asking for players.

If you think posting sensible things based in fact like this will stop people moaning about not being in Europe and losing our first 5 games 10-0 then you're out of your mind

Which makes sense with the noises coming out from the club that deals will be late on.
Can see us making some quality signings last few days of the window.

Tom McCarthy of the Carlisle Gazette has tweeted that highly rated Carlisle United left back Jack Armer missed training today, amid rumours that he was having a medical elsewhere before a 6 figure transfer. Charlton Athletic and Ipswich Town have both been linked with 20 year old Armer, with the London club likely to be in poll position to swoop after the Suffolk club were linked with an audacious move for Barcelona star Jordi Alba.

Welcome Joe, he has a lot to live up to following on from grandad Colin and dad Chris.
How good is he?
How long is his contract for? Needs to be more than 2yrs to cut down on churn.
