Think I would plump for Fuller - unless Obika was a permanent deal. Fuller offers something different, but if we can get Obika in full time that would swing it.
@NewsShopperSprt: Sordell, Kermo, Church and Pigott are Charlton's strike force at the minute. Possibly more to come with Obika and/or Fuller #cafc
don't need 2 more up front could still do with a goalie as second
Now with Obika and Fuller - that would be a top four club strike force. But I can't see that happening. Still am pleased with today's business. Looking forward to the season just that little bit more now.
Spurs may have missed a trick here what if no-one wants obika on a permanent deal? They are holding out for someone to buy him but may well get stuck with him

They just spent 20 million on a player. They are about to get 90 million for selling bale

I reckon they can tolerate 3 or 4 k a week
Tottenham did not get rich though, by not being free and easy with money. The reason they put Obika on a further one year contract was likely to get a fee when he moved. Doesn't look like he will come to Charlton now, disappointing as I think, he would have done really well and the crowd loved him. With Sordell, KMG and Obika that's a strong line up. Church may come good. Looks like a good character with something to prove.
Powell: Fuller is 50-50 to win new Charlton deal RICARDO Fuller’s chances of winning a new contract with Charlton have been rated as 50-50 by Addicks boss Chris Powell.
Fuller was released at the end of last season after scoring five goals in 31 appearances since arriving on deadline day last August from Stoke.
But the 33-year-old has been back at Sparrows Lane training with Charlton this summer in a bid to win another deal, although Powell remained non-committal on his chances of securing a stay in SE7 when asked this morning.
The manager said: “We will be continually linked with Ric.
“He came in and did a bit of training with us.
“It is ongoing.
“Whether it will happen we will have to wait and see.
“He obviously showed us in spells last year what he is about but whether that one will get over the line I’m not so sure. It is down to a lot of different factors.
“It is about financing the deal, other clubs, agents – you name it, it is always in the deal. It is never straightforward.
“I wish it was because you would get deals over the line quicker.
“He is still in the mix but will it happen? 50-50.”
Powell also confirmed Charlton had ended their interest in 24-year-old Adam McGurk after the former Tranmere attacker played as a trialist in Sunday’s 2-1 defeat at Ebbsfleet.
“I won’t be following up on young Adam,” said the Valley chief.
“He is a talented boy but I’m just going to move on in other areas now.”

I think Sordell can play wide left , he is pacy and left footed.
I reckon they can tolerate 3 or 4 k a week

Thanks you are right, my mistake I went to a Team GB game and it claimed he was in one of the magazines I read.
