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.

Mark Stow has a good knowledge of domestic football according to this article.

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?

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.

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.

Mark Stow as scout seems alright to me.

Ed Balls to become chairman of Norwich City.

Ed Case to be our next Interim Head of Recruitment.

With Mr R Sole being our next manager.

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.

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?

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....

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</blockquote
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...

Rumours now circulating that Lookman has played his last game for us and will join Arsenal.

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

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

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.
