Todd Kane is a right back - the last position we need - and a quick Twitter search shows he is widely regarded as a hapless punchline by QPR fans.
If we sign this guy it will confirm my suspicions that Ged Roddy is engaged in some kind of elaborate trolling campaign at Charlton Athletic's expense.
Todd Kane plays left back and right back happy in both roles
Someone who had been on a stadium tour today had put on the Facebook group that there was a player being photographed in the stands today- and was kept out of the way of the tour
Todd Kane is most likely after checking various social media gossip.
I really hope not & If it is it screams desperation to sign just anybody.
As been said earlier - he is a right back, a position that we have adequately covered. Yes, he may be able to play in other positions but you dont sign a rb to play lb. Lots of players can play in different positions - we had a few last season with Prately & Gunter playing as centre halves. But we already had them on the staff. You dont bring on a player to play them out of position.

I'm sure Gunter would say the same.
If you're a natural right-back you aren't as comfortable on the left, and definitely not comfortable to make attacking runs forward.

We won’t sign another RB
Adam Matthews can be backup RB to Todd Kane; Chris Gunter can be backup LB to Ben Purrington...

Naturally a right back though, isn’t he? Given that we only have naturally right footed wingers (Kirk & DJ) I really think we need an actual, natural, left footed left back. Not someone that’s a right back but reckons they can play left back, had enough of that with Gunter.

According to wiki he plays PREDOMINANTLY as a'right back l, bit can play right midfield or left back.
If he is right footed I do not want him playing as a left back. We already have Gunter doing that role.....and not very well either.
Interesting that at Hull Adkins played mainly 4231 and Kane played on the left of the 3 more than once. I know ideally you want that player to be able to go both inside and outside and the full back more often outside.
Maybe we are going to off load Gunter, I think Adkins has only ever picked him at right back once?
Maybe it's all bollocks and we aren't signing Kane anyway.
It shows how much football is now working in two different worlds now, when we are arguing over £300k and the "Big Boys" are splashing out £100 million on Grealish and his like. Can one player really be 300 times better than another? I cant see how such a wide gulf in values is sustainable.
It's no different from the real world is it? A Maserati MC20 will cost you a minimum of £187k; a Dacia will not. A work by David Hockney could set you back £80 million; a sketch by some local artist will not. Dinner, B & B at the Michelin-starred Ynyshir will cost you £1,000 plus drinks....well, you get the idea.
I don’t know much about Kane, but I’d do believe our full backs on both sides are currently one of the reasons we’re look so stodgy in attack. We need them to provide width and crosses and they’ve been doing neither. Gunter has more of an excuse (not that we we saw it from him at right back last season), but Matthew’s is in his natural position and still not getting forward enough.
If Kane is that type of player, I think there definitely is room for another right back. Get a left back on loan as well and Gunter will be a utility player and possibly the player who provides more experienced backup as an option for cover Innis at RCB and an alternative to Deji.

How and to who?! I can't see many clubs lining up to sign him at his current age/wage.
I think Lowery will happen, likely to be close to if not on deadline day.
Crewe manager Artell said in an interview today he doesn’t expect any outgoings, hope you’re right though
Be shocked if Lowery is still there come the end of the Transfer Window - I imagine the last paragraph talking about a player is with regards to him - After all they're in the exact same boat with him as we were with Phillips last year.
Either they take something now, or lose him for nothing next year - Its not like they expect to be challenging for the Championship either so cant really hope that a promotion push will help persuade him to stay.

Dozens of clubs would snap your hand off for him. As an example Gillingham would probably love him for the season on loan of we paid most of his wages.
It wouldn't be cheap but it would free up a place in the squad if that was an issue.
I am guessing as to why we would be in anyway intrested in Todd Kane.

I can't believe he still gets a gig. I have rarely seen him play well for us. We seem like a charity for shite over aged players like him and Watson.
Loans are realistically the only option with such little time left in the window now. Quicker to complete and less negotiation on transfer fees and wages. I just can’t see there being the quality of Cullen, Bielik and Gallagher though. Another summer of rebuilding next year beckons.
That assumes that we have not been in negotiations with anybody or made any offers that were initially turned down. There are some fantastic young players out there. Some are very close to being included into 1st team squads.
We are obviously playing a high risk strategy, but the gains could be considerable.
The actions of the last two transfer windows suggest otherwise.
Todd Kane is alright I think. Played and scored against us for Oxford a few years back and was also at Hull with Adkins. Wouldn’t say either of our full backs are good enough so not an unnecessary signing at all.

It's completely unnecessary if you ask me. We need a proper left back.

Agree on the left back. I also think we need a better right back.

Championship loan incoming and I don't see any other names rumoured.

Mindless.
That said let's not all start having chickens yet. WIOTOS.
