Not sure if he is in a position to change his mind on the Fehervar move or we have to buy him out of his contract with them. Not even sure if he ever put pen to paper or it was a deal agreed in principle but what I do know is there is a very good chance he'll still be with us next season.”
Absolutely no chance Fehervar announce publicly he's signed if he didn't put pen to paper
We also confirmed he'd signed for them when the club announced their squad retained/released list.
"Charlton made a number of contract offers to George Dobson pre and post Christmas. The midfielder has signed a pre-contract agreement with Hungarian club Fehérvár."
But that's not an actual contract. It may well include conditions for either party to withdraw from signing the final contract. There might be penalties if the final contract is not signed and it may be that Charlton could pay any penalty. Without seeing the actual agreement its hard to say.

In the annals of CAFC fuckwittery, tbis would be an achievement.
It would be funny to see George Dobson having the picture with Scarfy and saying once he knew Cafc were interested it was a no brainer 😄 He would get a decent signing on fee as well !
He could say his head was turned, and then carried on turning until it had gone all the way 'round.
Other forum is saying we have made a bid for Dobson ... You can't write it I just can't believe it but if true that's an absolute disaster for the club
And for our next trick, sell Alfie to Huddersfield for £500k then buy him back for £800k. Easy this football lark.
If there's a chance of bringing Dobson back at a reasonable fee we should absolutely jump at the chance. Sure it might look a bit embarrassing but nothing wrong with correcting a massive mistake.
He has been by far and away one of best players for the last few seasons, he is a leader, fans favourite and most of all is a known quantity. You know he will deliver consistent performances game after game.
We could quite easily spend the fee and wages we might spend on Dobbo on someone else who could turn out to be an absolute flop (As we have season after season). Is anyone convinced we are going to sign anyone better than Dobson this window? I'm certainly not.

I actually would like us to go with something different. Good player but think we can do better especially in the attacking sense if Coventry sits the deepest .
Much as I loved having Dobson at the club, things never really work out second time around, might be the time to cut him loose once and for all, and move on...
I think the Dobbo rumour stems from this morning's fixtures breakfast a bit.
Someone asked if he was definitely not coming back and the question was dodged with Keir Starmer-esque evasive skill and then the subject was immediately changed and deflected. The realist in me thinks it was "oh shit, not this again" but the cynic in me says it was a pretty well orchestrated diversion to change the subject - almost as if that was the brief for Nathan & Steve Sutherland.
I heard a whisper that we were due to speak to him one last time but I am not sure if that happened. I'm told he didn't ever want to go to Hungary so it's not impossible but it is highly unlikely to come to anything. He's still technically our player for 4 more days but I'd be surprised if anything changes
Only Charlton, surely somebody has to answer to the f up
Yes Dobson why did he sign a contract when the club had made him offers .. why did he not wait till end of season before looking at his options he was very poorly advised and a hint of panic when he did not receive another single offer from anyone else ..

Strange that he would sign a ‘pre-contract’ for a team in Hungary then.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?...just stop making it up as you go along for once...🤷♂️

So ignore him.
He will soon be telling us he is the best player in the league after months of slating him.

Thanks.
Hint from Dubai Addick and on the other board.
Tried the top shelf Henry, might find something suitable there...🙄
