Reckon this is Charlton using the media to send Gillingham a message:
"Do a deal with us on Dempsey in the next couple of hours or we'll trigger our back up arrangement"
I advocated Dempsey months ago .. Arter would be a good alternative IF he is fit .. he's had a few issues lately
I would prefer to sign permanently a younger, hungrier (and I'm not talking penis sandwiches) local player to an injury prone, overpaid & into his 30's loanee.
Which would explain why Arter is the backup, incase Gillingham don’t play ball.

agreed .. but your ideal would cost a lot of MONEY .. is Sandy prepared to pay for a Dempsey type ? .. we will see
what was discussed a while back and seems now to be forgotten is the expense of living in London or the South East .. a (say) £200,000 salary goes a looooooooottt further in the midlands or the north than dahn sarf. Many very decent players probably want a higher wage to live and work in London than a L1 club (e.gl. us) is prepared to, pay

My mantra has always been Make peace not war.
It's the Brentford/moneyball model at work and some people worship that.
(Irony alert)
Fortunately that doesn’t guarantee anything.
