    BBC saying terms agreed for Lookman. £11m?

    Maybe I am out of touch with modern transfer fees but am I wrong to think that 11m for a player that has scored about ten goals or so in league one and has been in and out of our team isn't bad going?

    My problem is how the money will be used and whether it will be re invested. Not how much.

    Ain't all upfront, that's the problem. Will be something like 4m up front, 2m after England cap, and the other 5m based on appearances, goals, Everton getting into Europe and other such stuff

    When you considered what CP and the then board achieved with the £1m (or so) from the sale of Jenkinson, promotion with a proportion of this £11m should be very feasible, even if only £4m or so was upfront.

    Hoping and praying we see more than a couple of loans and a Belgium kid on trial. But I wont hold my breath.

    It's been quoted from people on here as 8m up front.

    Goooood morning everyone. #cafc


    Just tweeted this with a picture of a cup of coffee from one of the chain coffee shops. She likes to tease us before a signing and so I wonder if this is her way of saying she is waiting to meet somebody to escort them to the club or to a hotel etc.

    I think any talk of selling Ajose to allow other signings is pretty stupid.

    He may not fit into Karl's first choice formation but you need different players who can play a different way in order to change a game or change a bad run of form.

    Losing him would be very counter productive.

    Wigan trying to talk Ravel Morrison into joining them. Close with Warren Joyce. Tough one to do but worth effort.

    Agree. Also the top of the coffee had a nice smiley face - so think you could be onto something there....

    Part of article from Ketts at Dr Kish:

    Charlton are expected to complete the signing of Brighton midfielder Jake Forster-Caskey in the next 48 hours.

    It was‎ originally thought the deal would be completed before the Bristol Rovers game on Monday, but it seems Forster-Caskey will now sign permanently, and a fee will be involved.
    ‎
    Another target, MK Dons winger Samir Carruthers, signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with League One table-toppers, Sheffield United, on Tuesday.
    ‎
    Carruthers' former MK Dons colleague, Ben Reeves, is a top target for Karl Robinson. Reeves could fill the number ten role at The Valley.
    ‎
    Wigan's former Tottenham and Wolves right-back, Nathan Byrne, is another player Robinson is interested in.

    Byrne can also play further forward, and would be a natural replacement for Kevin Foley whose contract has expired.
    ‎
    Blackpool's attacking midfielder, Brad Potts, is also thought to be wanted by Robinson. Potts is 22-years-old and was previously with Carlisle.

    We're buying a star player who'll cost big bucks

    Cheers FA.

    Anyone know what type of midfielder Potts is?

    I know Reeves is a number 10, is Potts an alternative to him or does he play a deeper role?

    No rumours of wingers which im my view we will need at least 1 maybe 2 of, given lookman leaving.

    Guess Nathan Byrne is one of the Wingers (Right) with DaSilva (Left)

    Seems as though Brad Potts has about 200 appearances in League Two with a good number of goals and assists from Midfield

    If we got Byrne he'd be used as a winger. Very good going forward and looked excellent for Swindon a couple of seasons back.

    I would think Potts is a player Robbo had in his mind when he was at MKD to replace midfielders he thought he would lose.

    Gillingham have sacked Edinburgh.

    Gillingham have parted company with manager Justin Edinburgh after just short of two years in the position.

    Sky Sports News HQ understands chairman Paul Scally met with Edinburgh this morning following yesterday’s 1-0 home defeat to Oxford - a result which left the club 17th in Sky Bet League One.

    Edinburgh was relieved of his duties along with backroom staff members David Kerslake and Wayne Hatswell.

    We are expecting a statement from Scally before midday outlining the decision.

    Scally was in The Plume of Feathers after the Millwall-Gillingham game, with Hessenthaler and Wise who were there to tell him what was going wrong at Gillingham. I should have put a monkey on Edinburgh being out of a job within the week.

    I'd say releasing Foley makes sense bearing in mind Konsa has shown he can be as effective at covering RB or CM.

    Konsa not a natural right back, but look excellent in midfield. If he settles in there you wouldn't want to disrupt the side just because Solly is injured.
    Foley provides half decent back up for Konsa. If he goes, I'd say we need another right back.
    But KR seems to want to play the old Brazilian way with two sitting in midfield and the fullbacks darting forwards, was Foley a bit too conservative for this?
    Nothing wrong with an old Brazilian, @cfgs.

    Stubble?
    Not if you get it done by laser instead of shaving/waxing.
