Football Rumours put this up ,can't see most of them coming off
27 Aug 2012 10:12:01 Chris Powell to be busy in the next week ,these are the deals the Charlton Manager potentially has lined up :
In
Luke Young QPR Loan Conor Henderson Arsenal Loan John Bostock and / or Dean Parrett Spurs Loan Stephen Quinn Sheffield United £750K Jordan Spence West Ham (part exchange for Solly) Dany N'Guessan Millwall ( £100K ) Nigel Reo-Cocker Free Agent (former team mate of Powell's at West Ham )
Out Chris Solly West Ham £3.5M up front plus add ons and a player in exchange Danny Green Swindon £300 K Scott Wagstaff Nottm Forest £300 K Leon Clarke Oldham 50 K
There is probably an eliment of truth in it but our board may not just be negotiating with West Ham I am sure other clubs will be interested in him and may be less likely to go back down.
I seriously doubt that Solly to WHU for £2mill is going to happen. All the debate here is about Charlton's situation, but what about West Ham's?
Here's three reasons why I can't see them making a move for Solly this transfer window:
1) At the moment their objective is Premier League survival - NOT long term planning. Hence paying big money for immediate first team player like Matt Jarvis and not looking for younger prospects who could take a season or two to adapt to Prem.
2) After spending such a large sum on Jarvis can they really justify a further £2million on a right back (remember Clyne, who had played a couple of seasons in Champ and at Old Trafford etc cost £3mill) who is unproven still even at Championship level and is unlikely to feature much in their survival campaign?
3) West Ham currently have THREE right-backs in and around the first team: Guy Demel, Joey O'Brien and Winston Reid. Do they really need another? Can they justify spending money on another? Especially one who wont be in the first team for a while to come?
Basically, it wouldn't make any sense for a team targeting Premier League survival, who have already spent money, and have a number of right-backs to pay up for Solly now. I'd be very surprised....

Didn't Dean Parrett go to somewhere like Exeter/Yeovil on a years loan ? Thats his level as well, why bring in worse than we've got. We've already got enough in the squad who possibly aren't good enough, how about we shift some of those on & keep Solly ?

this is what i think.makes no sense but football never ceases to amaze though.

Far too much logic and reason in this post for my liking
Any money should be used for a CM not a backup keeper imo. Sully is good enough back up
I'm not sure, from what I've seen of him we'd be in big trouble if Sullivan was needed for any period of time. If this lad is half decent and won't cost us much then he probably is a decent signing.
In the times today there's a mention of Wet Spam going for an Ivorian RB from Belgium .... They obviously like their RBs as with Solly that'd make 5 I think.
From that rumours post .. Why would Green drop back into League 1 ?!? Why would Reo-coker come to us as he wants Prem football - plus we couldn't afford his wages (£30k I'd guess as an minimum)
Love these rumours but particularly love the ridiculous ones ..
Solly to the Hamsters and Luke Young in on loan.... hmm... that would be an interesting one and plausible. Might be quite a neat solution to allow us to get some (allegedly) much needed funds in whilst not significantly weakening the team and recruiting a stop gap to play regularly while Jordan Cousins develops a little further to be (maybe) be ready for the first team next season.
Don't want to see Solly go because he's everything a fan loves in a player, but if it happened under those kinds of circumstances it could be smart business. Whether we'd be able to cover the % of Young's salary QPR would be looking for I don't know.
If Solly is going, I hope the deal is done quickly so SCP has a little time to do some transfer business. CM a priority but we will also need another RB as I doubt Jordan Cousins is ready for the step up yet. What price Fraser Richardson back from Saints on loan?
Really hope Solly stays though.
Lawrie Wilson is already here.
But we want competition for each position and I don't think either Hughes or Cousins is it at RB - hence the need to bring someone else in if Solly goes.

Cue egg on face by end of the week !!!
Hoping I don't get a message from him tomorrow or the next couple of days saying he is off
