BBC saying were in talks with Southampton for Dean Hammond. Would be very happy with that signing if Dale was to leave
That's my mate's cousin. He has been looking for a move as he's going to find 1st team opportunities limited this year, no idea that we were interested though.
Off the BBC's transfer feed:
BBC Sport's Jeremy Butler: "Championship club Charlton are in talks with Premier League side Southampton over signing 29-year-old midfielder Dean Hammond."
If Stephens goes, we would need more than just Dean Hammond. He would fill the defensive midfielder role we need, but we would need 1 more imo. Quinn or Reo Coker please or I think we are left weaker.
Don't know much about Hammond. How would you describe his style please ?
Pretty similar to Hollands having seen him play except he does actually stay back and play the holding/defensive role quite well and his passing is pretty good to. Also a very tough tackler. I saw them play a couple of times last season and I think he would be a good signing.
No - he is an addition to the midfield that we needed anyway. Still need Quinn or someone similar I think to replace Stephens passing and set piece ability.

I think he'd be perfect to play alongside Hollands. For me last season, Hollands played his best football and became a goalscoring threat when he was with a defensive midfielder which was Andy Hughes. Think Hammond could happily sit and let Hollands bomb forward. Quite excited about this one if we do get him
Need a midfielder who makes the opposition midfield uncomfortable on the ball, if that makes sense! Someone like Parker who you knew would either close someone down or put in a crunching tackle within seconds of them getting the ball.

Either way you talk sense!

Hammond too similar to Hollands?
I would still sell Stephens for £2 mill as mentioned in the article above.
LESS THAN 12 HOURS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
saying good things about him, we should worry then
