The move is not yet done and dusted but it looks highly likely that Smith will join up with the London club. For most fans it will be a surprise to see a club of Charltons stature snap him up but people in football seem to rate him highly. The move will suit both clubs well as Smith had not featured this season anyway and the money will come in handy.
As for the figure, no idea, but Notts County and Bristol City were the other clubs involved.
The deal is great for the club as Smith has never been a regular starter for the club and really only played last season when we were struggling up front with Liam Hatch covering defensive duties. He must be 'one for the future' as to be honest I have never seen anything of star quality about him. But that is why I am not working in football I guess, because I cannot spot these things.
Good luck to Michael, yet another young player who follows the likes of Dan Burn (Fulham), David Stockdale (Fulham) and even though we released him Curtis Main (Middlesbrough).
He's 19. If he's recently had trials with a Premier League team he must be half decent. I'm trying to think of the last time we had a young striker coming off the bench scoring a few goals getting the crowd excited. The last few years we've had shit 30 something strikers who didnt score more than 10 a season
