    Great news.  I suspect he’ll bet getting some minutes towards the end of the season

    Progress on the pitch starting with getting back into the Championship then we’ll be more attractive, will offer better contracts and give players more reasons to stay. While we’re mid table in L1 young players don’t have a reason to stay.

    Only 2024??  More proof that Thomas is skint /sarcasm

    Great news, just the normal roller coaster week at Charlton.

    This was an absolute necessity. We have to protect our interests.

    It is good to see common sense decisions being made in the best interests of the club again.  Well done TS, SG & JJ.

    I look forward to seeing him in the first team; hopefully helping to fire us to promotion next season!

    Great news, so glad we’ve got him on a pro deal so he can’t be stolen for nothing. 

    The only concern is that by the time he makes his debut, he’ll probably have less than a year to run on his contract.

    We should get a decent 12-18 months out of him at least. If he cuts it, he will move on for a decent fee and our blessing. More money then available to reinvest in the squad.

    Good news all around.

    If he doesn't make his debut this season, he'll surely get game time in the Pizza Cup next season

    I hope Chelsea youngster Mason Burstow enjoys linking back up with the U23 squad, there's a new striker in town

    As we currently have 6 loans Kanu now has a better chance of making the bench. Even more so with Stockley’s injury and doubts over Aneke’s fitness.

    Great news, if only Roland had the sense to do similar we might not be in the position we are right now

    Well the club has the power now until 2024, quite what more you want I don't know.
    What power … look at Mason Burstow

    We are looking at Mason Burstow. We have got a good deal for the Club. 
    Without a contract Kanu could leave for only compensation.
    Until you understand a bit more about the professional game I suggest you hang back a bit.

    WE decided to accept a very good offer, the owners own words. 

    Stop moaning.

    Why has Sandgaard only signed one of the U18s?

    Too skint to sign them all up, obviously.

    Great news, well done Thomas and all involved, this is a great advert for The Academy and is only the tip of the iceberg, Adigun, Campbell, Anderson, Bower, and of course that well know name Leaburn...all great prospects, and need signing to similar contracts if not already done.. B)

    Speaking of which, when are you going to announce Burstow has signed for Chelsea?

    I'd imagine every decent top level scout in the country already knows about him, especially given he has played and scored against a lot of top sides this season. 

    I just hope the contract doesn't have a Gomez style release clause fee in there.

    Great news.
    And if this season is a dead duck as most of us think I'd get him in the first team sooner rather than later.

    Deal until 2024 or whenever Chelsea come calling.

    August 22 I would imagine.

    Well done Thomas Sandgaard for at least making sure he won't just go for the pittance that Ged Roddy put his signature too with the Categories.
    Also Joe Aribo walking 500 miles to  Scotland as he wasn't offered the new contract as soon as he made his debut.
    Pre Sandgaard so history now.

    Can we change the heading to Daniel Kanu or otherwise he will end up like Boy George; being called young Kanu at 60.
