Hi I'm a bit of a lurker on this site, get most of my Charlton fix off these boards(live 100 miles away so don't have anything to contribute to the rumours). But to be honest I think this discussion needs to be renamed and seperate rumours discussion opened for proper rumours not Sheffield wed rubbish and petty squabbles Thanks
On Chris we remember that he put in much effort but his record with Watford last season was not good, so the risk here is that he becomes a Jason Euell type transfer, good around the club but slightly wasted being in the squad not allowing another better player the oppotunity
Yea very harsh. Remember seeing him at Bristol City. He absoluetly ran himself into the ground, then thumped home a cracking header from a Andy Reid cross. That said, maybe a bit old now and he reminds me of bad times, which isn't his fault.
Iwelumo 10 goals in 46 is a poor strike rate and used to give away about 10 free-kicks every match. Poor at linking the play and can't remember too many assists either.

10 goals from 32 starts and top scorer seems pretty good from an "utter donkey" playing in not so great side.
And the year after this "utter donkey" scored 14 in 31 league games.
Iwelumo is still pretty decent, offers an option up top especially in a 433.
Can't see Michael Smith playing much this year despite a half decent pre-season, maybe his time is next year.
Supposedly Matt Derbyshire has been offered to other championship teams on loan from Forest. Maybe we could be one of those teams? Definitely know Palace have been offered him.

I remember when Matt Derbyshire started playing for Blackburn in the Premier League. He found the net several times and looked a really decent young striker who would develop into a good Premier League player. Then after a couple of seasons Rovers farmed him out to some Turkish side, who got rid of him to Forest who are now asking whether anyone wants to take him off their hands. I get very suspicious when players, especially young promising ones, suddenly take a dramatic nosedive like this.

Nope, he went to olympiakos in Greece where the fans loved him and he played european football. No nosedive that's for sure. He made a career choice and got some experience of a new culture too. He's no worse of for it that's for sure.
Fair enough Danny - my memory ain't as great as it was! Still would expect him to be looking at a higher level than being touted around to the likes of Palace though.

Thanks
Big Chris is available on a free transfer, worth a punt?

Decent player who gave 100% for the team all the time. Remember him scoring at WBA when he was injured.
And the year after this "utter donkey" scored 14 in 31 league games.
So just maybe your description was utter bollocks

If Rhodes goes they might struggle for goals
