    Well I've learnt that Doucher and I might be neighbours. That's fairly concerning...
    Don’t worry - I moved out of that slum area years ago (joking -  very pleasant and my eldest got plenty of autographs when he was little from players at the gates in the prem days)

    Oxford are under embargo and can't register any new players, so are trying to keep hold of as many current players as they can:

    Suspect Preston have put in a bid that in normal circumstances would be accepted, but given the above Oxford haven't agreed it.
    Risky if the player wants to leave and downs tools, no good for them at all.
    They can’t afford to lose them though. It’s not like Shef wed last year, Oxford are not allowed to register anyone so the squad they have is it until the embargo is lifted. 

    They’re already in a bit of a shit situation 
    What if he refuses to play?

    Less than the Reading Lisbie!
    Pay the guy a good whack, he is not a Prima Donna who will strut and do moodies, he has been the fittest, fastest and most positive of our players this summer, opponents double up on him, he is well worth a good wage in comparison to a blimmin’ Reading player.
    He is one of our own, not to be treated like a cash cow.

    Charlton Athletic Eye New Zealand International Callum McCowatt

    Charlton Athletic are reportedly weighing up a surprise move for Silkeborg winger Callum McCowatt as Nathan Jones looks to add creativity and attacking depth ahead of the new season.

    Sources close to the club suggest Charlton's recruitment team have been monitoring the 27-year-old New Zealand international for several months, impressed by his versatility across the forward line and his experience in Scandinavian football.

    While no formal bid has yet been submitted, it is understood that preliminary discussions have taken place regarding the financial viability of a deal. Silkeborg are believed to value McCowatt highly, but Charlton hope the player's desire for a new challenge could open the door to negotiations.

    McCowatt has built a reputation as a hard-working attacker with an eye for goal and a strong delivery from wide areas, qualities that Charlton believe would suit the Championship's high-intensity style.

    The Addicks are expected to face competition from clubs in the Netherlands and Germany, though insiders claim Charlton are prepared to offer the player a key role in their long-term plans.

    Whether a move materialises remains to be seen, but McCowatt is a name that Charlton supporters may hear more frequently as the transfer window progresses.

    Preston don’t have any money, it’s just fluff from Risdale 
    Also, when one of their clients is entering the new contract negotiations phase, any agent worth their salt will want to create interest in the market, even if only to strengthen their hand when negotiating with the player’s existing club. If you can find a club that needs to give the impression they’re being active and ambitious in the market despite not actually having any dogs, with which you can collide, all the better. Not saying that’s definitely what’s going on here, but it wouldn’t shock me either. 

    TC, Lloydy, Ramsay all very well could move on and they all did enough last year to get decent Championship gigs. However, as others have said, so many chess pieces get moved during these negotiations and there’s lots of parties with competing priorities that use public noise to further their agendas, that none of it means much in isolation. 

    I’d be equally unsurprised if they all left by next summer or all signed new deals.
