Charlton / L1 - January 2019 Transfer Rumours (ed, deadline day starts p98)

Not a hope in hell, @JamesSeed. 24 hours before the deadline, with Sunderland also looking for two strikers.

Speaking of which I got a bit of lowdown on Maja, since I am in my B&B in Eltham, and the excellent owner is a Sunderland fan in his late 60's, who is a season ticket holder, regularly going up there from Eltham. Pretty well connected in the club, it seems.

He says it's true that Sunderland haven't seen any of the Maja money because they owed it to Bordeaux, or at least £1.5m and the rest of the fee is contingent on various things. Also he was only on his youth wage of 600k per week, although Sunderland, unlike us, has been desperately trying to get him to sign a new one. And who was in the way of that? Why, his agent, of course.

BTW @JamesSeed my landlord here is related to Jimmy Seed. Jimmy was his uncle if I recall what he told me last time. I will PM you some details,

So his agent advised him not to sign a new contract at Sunderland but to go for better wages to a better League where they play football suited to his style. What a rogue. They should all be banned

As I was catching up the thread with 80 posts unread, I made a 'pearl of wisdom' reply ..... only to read 20 posts later, 2 posters had by then already written much the same thing.

As it was pointless, I edited in a point.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought it was something I couldn’t open!

Does anyone else feel sick waiting to see if we get a decent replacement ?

In honesty, listening to what ibborg does to his chickens makes me feel a bit queasy:-)

He should never have been allowed in the petting zoo

Bit late on the chicken talk, but this place was just down the road from our house In Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Rumoured to be looking at Jason Cummings. Notts Forest on loan at Peterborough

Great uncle that’d be I suspect.
Jimmy had four brothers and five sisters, and he was the second youngest. Would be very interested to link up.

At the Long Pond?

Riviera will serve you. And if your quick, Prague will be there too.

He fell out of favour massively after having a good start there. Peterborough don't want him and have been trying to get rid. Forest will only be recalling him if they have loan lined up. Scored 6 this season - no idea what competition they were in

It would appear that Posh want him gone, lack of form and off-field issues, and they are trying to find another club to take him. He has turned down Lincoln and MK as he does not want to go into League 2.

Scored the winner at The Valley didn't he?

Ah yes, that's why I looked him up the other day! Penalty. Bastard.

Sunderland also linked

The new Tony Watt

Good player but not sure about his attitude. Started the season on fire and then had some sort of off field issue and has been poor since.

SUNDERLAND UPADTES

Sky Sports News understands Sunderland have had a bid accepted by a Premier League team for an unknown striker, with a medical booked for Deadline Day on Thursday.

The Black Cats have also seen a £1.25m bid turned down by Doncaster for striker John Marquis, while Lewis Morgan's loan move from Celtic is close to being completed.

However, Sunderland will not be moving for Sheffield United forward Ched Evans, despite reports.

Cummings personality sounds similar to Tony Watt !
His best spell was at Hibernian when he scored 20 goals in a season, Signed for Forest but been on loan at posh.
Struggling to be a success in England after the low standard of Scottish football.

For this video alone Cummings is welcome here
