    Liam Ridgewell to Brighton on loan from Portland Timbers - thought he would be the ideal signing for us.

    He's British so a non-starter.

    Do we even have a scout?

    We have an Interim Head of Recruitment...

    http://mobile.cafc.co.uk/news/article/charlton-phil-chapple-fulham-departs-2729282.aspx

    You couldn't make this shit up. An interim scout, finding players for the interim manager, to replace the crap that he found when he was a scout.

    Sorry if posted earlier from the ever-dependable Transfer Rumour:

    "Charlton to buy Martin Braithwaite from Toulouse FC for around £2m."
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Braithwaite

    Is our sort of buy though in that it's a wild European punt on someone with no Champ experience but some promise.

    Chelsea look closest on the Ademola Lookman front offer wise. Whether Ademola would choose them over the likes of Southampton Arsenal etc, plenty are interested.

    Chelsea would be a great move for him. They're well known for promoting their youth. Who could forget Peter Osgood?

  • What sort of Danish bloke have a name like Martin Braithwaite... Sounds like he should be some English graduate from Oxford who went to Eton
  • Bournemouth rumoured to be after Dwight Gayle from our feathered friends. If that goes through, Bristol City may move for Yann.

    KM thought to be furious. Will stop her starting the rumour again that Yann is on his way back here on the morning of any proposed demos.

    Hope Gayle goes, the f***** lives 200 yards from me, terrible for the value of my property.

  • With Bauer and Diarra both having fitness concerns, Lennon being inexperienced and Sarr inexperienced and wobbly, it's clearly at the back where we NEED urgent reinforcements.

    Indeed, if we sign someone this week, they'll be available to play against Forest. It's a nice thought anyway...

    Ed Balls to become chairman of Norwich City.
  • Ed Case to be our next Interim Head of Recruitment.

    After delort was James Henry the longest drawn out transfer saga not to happen ? Was is delort up to these days ?

    Serious question? He's been doing very well in the French Ligue 1, at Caen, who are 4th behind PSG: 19 appearances, 6 goals. He was transferred from Wigan for 1.4 million euros, according to Soccerway.

    Braithwaite is ok. Not sure he is worth 2 mill though.
  • This thread is better than a Hans Christian Anderson Fairy Tale and only HCA knows the real identity of our targets let alone has ever heard of them.

    Come on who really knew diddly squat about Polish Pete, Bauer, Sarr, Bergdich, Kashi, JBG, Mak, Igor, Bulot, Ceballos, Ajdarevic, Nego, Thuram, Buyens, Dmitrovic, Lepoint, Nego, Onyewu, Tucudean and McAlney to name but 20 of our signings under this regime?

    He's originally from Guyana, which was under British rule so could explain the Etonian surname !

    Before we get too engrossed on slagging the club off I'd rather wait and see what happens in the window.
    Cafc of old were always quiet when doing transfer dealings so maybe we've stopped things going public as it just pushed up prices

    Though I did hear Yann was a done deal in January over 2 months ago....

    Guyanese dad, Danish mum. He looks a decent player from his few international cameos, you are right though, he doesn't look or sound very Danish...blame his mum...

    Don't blame him, too good for League One.

    I hear a bid has been put in for the club. A Charlton fan.
  • Rumours now circulating that Lookman has played his last game for us and will join Arsenal.

    He certainly looks more like an Arsenal player than a Chelsea player, small pacey, slight he does rather fit the bill for most of Wenger's signings

    Bergdich instagramming pictures suggesting he's off . Cheerio.
  • If this is true, well done to the lad it shows that you don't need to be at an academy to make it big. As for the club f... You, you will never get another penny from me until the current management and owners are gone.
