    Youngster by the looks of it, so we may still sign Sullivan.

    Vetere's overseas scouting network strikes gold.

    It's about time we found out what was really out there in the universe eh.

    Worner's like for like replacement...

    Apparently he is a left footer and very good with crosses.

    Anyone who looks at the Bury site and sees his photograph cannot possibly think that he will be our new No. 1 !!!  He is obviously part of the development for the future - something that must go along in parallel with the first team re-build - but also good to see.

    From Bury Town FC:

    Another of our crop of talented youngsters has been offered a chance in the professional game.

    Nick Pope has been offered a two year deal with Charlton Athletic
    and everybody at Bury Town is absolutely delighted for him. Popey is a
    fantastic lad with a great attitude and fully deserves his chance to
    make it in the pro game. The offer followed an invitation to train with
    the League One side a few weeks ago and after impressing the staff
    there, they watched Nick play in a couple of games for us. Nick was
    also a member of the West Suffolk College squad and has represented
    England Colleges.

    Having challenged and temporarily replaced Marcus Garnham, Nick
    showed us all what he was capable of when he wore the number 1 shirt
    for us in a few games and Charlton obviously feel confident in offering
    him this opportunity. As well as training full time, he will also
    coincide this with his studies at a college near to Charlton.

    Although we are sad to see Popey leave, this is a wonderful
    opportunity for someone who fully deserves it and I know we will all
    watch his career develop with interest in the future. We will
    definitely see him back at Ram Meadow during the pre-season of
    2012-2013 as he will feature in the Charlton side which will visit us
    as part of the agreement between the two parties.

    Good luck Popey.

    Director of Football

    Clearly just seen as a promising player, will give Conor Gough some competition in the Kent Cup games and reserve friendlies...!

    he's got the shirt on the right way round so has all the attributes required for a third tier charlton keeper

     

    i'd make him no.1 and start a bidding war for robbie

    So he goes to college then. Brainy for a footballer.

     

    Interesting how we gave him a 2 year deal, yet Worner only got a year.

    good that we are receiving all news of signings from everywhere but the Club. That's three now and counting.

    Just tweeted @CAFCOfficial and said the same thing.  I make it 4: Hollands, Pope, Ruben Bover and possibly Bolasie.

    In all fairness only 3 of those 4 are done so it's not like they've missed all of them ;-)

    Bover has announced it on his own personal twitter a few weeks ago.

    Bolasie is just speculation, nothing more.

    Are you counting Bolasie as one of the third? It only said we were set to make a move, didn't suggest a move was anywhere near being completed.

    Ruben Bover has been training for us for a while and everyone at the club is seriously impressed with him. Bolasie is a tricky winger playing for plymouth, there's a youtube vid of him knocking about.
