    UPDATE: Charlton Athletic have submitted their paperwork to the EFL to sign Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana.

    However, it’s understood the feeling at the club is that it may not have gone through in time.

    #CAFC required a deal sheet for extra time to complete the transfer.
    thats a no then...

    Surely it's cut and dry whether your email sent on time or not?

    isnt it still common to fax these things over? 
    Sure i remember Chris Parkes saying (granted probably 5-8 years ago) this was the case for whatever reason

    Embarrassing, if true that we did not submit on time.
  • Sky changed their breaking news on Fofana and removed mention of us
  • I’m 
    If he was born in 1905, he might have expired before completing his post.

    This went back and forth between Preston, Celtic, and us all day it seems. I wonder how much time we actually had once we were given the go ahead that we could sign him 

    I’d genuinely like to know how long it actually takes to get one of these deals done
  • With Hemed didn't we prove we sent it in time it just didn't arrive in time? And as we can't be blamed for internet server traffic we got away with it?

    It's a ridiculous way of doing things, but nobody seems to know a better way, as there has to be some sort of deadline.

    I do agree with an earlier comment, that the deadline for transfers from PL clubs to EFL clubs should be later. That way the PL clubs can complete their squads, and then can send unwanted players and academy prospects out to EFL clubs. It only needs to be an extra day or two.

    I think "getting away with it" would have been the paperwork being too late in retrospect

    All we need is a screenshot of an email with a timestamp lol. It never ends

    It could be something as simple as that. I remember when I used to work in the office I would sometimes receive an email literally showing it had been sent a minute into the future eg the timestamp on the email might show 12:01pm even though the time on my machine might show 12:00pm instead.

    Still think we are seriously a midfielder short (especially a creative one), Anderson and Doherty are simply not good enough for Champ
    Really Doc was excellent at Bristol , MOM v Leicester and Played well at QPR 
    You are half right. "Excellent", "MOM", and "Played well" perhaps, but all by League One standards. Barely adequate for Championship.

    As ever, I admire your loyalty to certain players.
  • A real shame if we missed out on Fofana by a few minutes. The risk of a late transfer.  Would have been happy with just Bree until I knew there was a chance of him as well though so all good.
  • Wonder if we go back in for him in Jan?
  • Can I go to bed now?

  • I think we are seeing a preview of what we could have to come next summer if we stay up.

    The likes of Fofana, Rak Sakyi etc are firmly on the table with the current ownership - as long as we can stay up this season. I think we have a tremendous opportunity to go the next level up in the transfer market from next May.
  • Late to this and haven’t read it all. So JRS is still Palarse?

    How is not sending it on time even a thing in a professional club especially one of any repute? does it get to five to, the person who’s job it is decides to have a quick cuppa then loses track of time?

    Miguel Delaney on SSN saud the EFL are processing two deal sheets after the 7pm deadline. He didn't say who though
    I think we’d have put something out saying we are done if we knew we were done. I think it must be like the Hemed deal where there’s some uncertainty over whether it was done in time. Would be nice if it’s sorted overnight and a morning announcement

    We said we are done when we signed Bree

    This is reminding me of Tomer Hemed
    The longer this goes on...
    If there is ANY similarity to that fat lazy chancer No.Thank.You
  • SSN Scottish reporter just saying that Celtic missed out on Fofana who's joined us instead. Not sure he'd have knowledge of whether we've cocked up getting the paperwork done though.

    Sorry. We can't tailor replies for individuals. You will have to go back and read every word. Enjoy the cheese puns!

    Maybe Chelsea had bigger deals they prioritised and only let us know at 18.59, giving us 60 seconds to complete and send a form? Who knows. Just because something doesn't happen in time, doesn't make it a Charlton employees fault.
