😂 fuck me no wonder I mostly just read this forum and don’t post a lot. . . In all seriousness I’ve had a number of decent chats over the last 12 months with Martin Sandgaard and he was who told me last night after the game. He was quite open with the information. I made a point of saying the fan base thought it was the other way round saying the defender was a done deal and striker/forward was a bit further off. . . .

He was actually telling a few other fans the same thing and is really approachable about our transfer dealings. Just posting what I was told as from the way it was put across to me he wanted the fans to know what was happening.

i made a point of saying can you not leave any announcement until 11pm so we can all get some sleep as to which he said no it will be earlier in the day!

if some1 bids 2m for Clare then we might be in trouble! 

No upside in posting what you hear, unfortunately

You are wrong:
Jbaker have won respect on CL by saying that he heard Martin Sandgaard talking out loud to fans. No smoke and mirrors, just saying what he heard. 

👏to Jbaker as others have confirmed the information did indeed come from the horse's mouth.

To all those who are seeking rumours/info from within the club, probably best not to mock those that are providing such info. You really don't make this thread easy!

People on this thread: 'Where are the RUMOURS? I don't want to read 18 pages about Eoghan O'Connell's cat! Where did all the ITK people go?'

Also people on this thread: 'Fuck you rumour guy, your info is slightly different to what someone else said! I'll kill you!'

I do recall an interesting debate about Schrodinger's cat on another thread, but this one eluded me. Could you reference the page numbers involved 😎

I suspect Clare and any other player's values will be well known in the game..

Gilbey to Stevenage?

Will prob go on a permanent and score the goal that knocks us out of the league cup. 

Is Boyle a ball-playing centre half?

Thankfully for us he would be cup tied wouldn't he?

Much more Jason Pearce than O’Connell - Huddersfield fans can’t believe they signed him

Can I just say (and btw I put myself in the camp I am about to refer to from time to time sometimes too, so not digging anybody out personally) that we really should stop moaning and embrace rumours on a rumours page a bit more positively and for what they are. 

As for source info, when Duchatelet told us nothing, we moaned we wanted to hear more, when the Sandgaards share more openly, moaning that their sharing is unprofessional/crossing the line etc. Just leaves my head spinning and those sharing I suspect questioning why bother sharing? I certainly am. I enjoy hearing some insight into the goings on at the club having invested 35 years of my life supporting it and applaud those owning it for being more up front than most before. I am quite happy just talking with my lad about it as we are as potty mad about Charlton as one another, but if others are positively interested perhaps think twice about putting posters/sources of info off…by being critical. Those sources do read this site (not every post every day), but they are interested in the fan’s thoughts, feedback, views etc, so am sure will decide to go the other way and stay schtum if they are being roundly criticised on here for doing something we all wanted in the first place…🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm not saying I don't agree with your post generally, but did people really moan that Roland told us nothing about transfer targets? Or what players we were actively trying to sell and whether the players had rejected moves?

Wouldn't be surprised if JFC is released if we don't sell him today. Makes sense to hold on to him whilst a fee is possible, but if contract clauses make him essentially unavailable for league games the can't see why we'd hold on to him once the change of a fee has gone.

Wouldn't he have to agree to that? Can't see us paying up the rest of his contract just to shift him out.

Or probably he'll be loaned out and hope some interest comes along for a Jan sale as last chance for some dollar dollar bill y'all. 

Don't think it'll be worthwhile playing him if he's here, the match thread last night made it sound like he was just going through the motions.

Football is a crazy business and a Chairman/Owner with money to spare will have seen the spectacular goal by Sean Clare against Plymouth, got his scout to do some research on his age, fitness etc and before you know it a bid of a Million pound with a big wage increase and another player joins the list of players who leave at the end of the window for Cafc. That's what might happen but as the person who said play Clare as an attacking RB for the last year I really hope not.

Mason Burstow scored a few goal as a teenager despite being bullied most games and he gets a million pound+ transfer to Chelsea.

The road back to the Championship is getting harder not easier as you lose players by not getting your 1st three choices in as other clubs may pay more, be in a higher division etc. Plus you lose young players or possibly player's like Clare or Dobson who have reinvented their selves in their 20's and are showing their worth as good team players.

Had conversations with Scouts, agents, coaches, players and heads of recruitment and the minefield that is football with its dog eats dog mentality is amazing. 

Good luck to Steve Gallen and Martin Sandgaard as you will need it. 

Personally I’m playing guess the algorithm while I wait for news, this is the ad I have now everyone is talkings about cats ⬇️⬇️⬇️

May I be the first person to moan about the people moaning about the moaners?
