    Reminds me of Darren Bent. Scored loads of goals for us but was soon off once real money was on the table. B'stard ;0)

    Welcome Andy. Knock em dead mon fils

    Although I think he would've stayed had we not been relegated.

    He has got ambition, wow we can't have that. How dare he want to play in the Premiership. I think we ought to pull out of the deal now and get someone in who is happy to play in the lower reaches of the Championship.

    rolled into one. Still not sure he's signing! Hey there's an upside to everything- I now know what the F5 button does.

    Exactly, Darren Bent was going nowhere until we got relegated. Anyone with half a brain couldn`t possibly have expected him to stay after that surely?

    The guy is bang out of order for not instantly dismissing all other approaches and signing for us immediately. I know unequivocally that if the roles were reversed one of our lads would be straight to Tours for 5 years without a second thought. Scum

    I have devised a 5 point questionnaire that I hope will be adopted by the club and put before all potential signings from the continent and beyond.

    1) Do you know where Charlton is? (10 points)
    2) Does your Agent(s) know where Charlton is? (10 points)
    3) Does your Dad or any member of your immediate family know where Charlton is? (10 points)
    4) You/agent/Dad do know Charlton do not play in the EPL? (10 points)
    5) Would you like directions to the nearest EPL club willing to pay bundles? ( 0 points)

    Assumming we sign him on a fairly long deal, who cares if he wants to use us as a stepping stone? In order to be noticed by premier league clubs he has to perform well, by performing well he will be scoring goals, which in turn would hopefully see the team getting good results, which is surely the ultimate aim? IF we sign him, he scores 30 goals (and we don't get promoted) and Prem clubs come in for him, he'll hopefully have 2+ years on his contract and hold a large asking price, and fair play to him.

    Was thinking just this. I've been off today and think I've checked every ten minutes.

    All players see clubs as a stepping stone. What did Diego Poyet do? What did Shelvey and Jenkinson and Lee Bowyer do? If we get him and he does a good job for us and helps us move forwards as a club and then we get a good fee for him then it is good business. There is no loyalty in football anymore!

    Leeds have signed ajose from Peterborough which should point to the fact they won't be signing our guy now

    How can anyone have anything to say other than good things. He is wanted by a handful of clubs and he looks miles better than Church. If we get him I expect us to nearly double our goals from last season at least. Who isn't a selling club? I think there's maybe 3-5 clubs that aren't selling clubs. Everyone else is in danger. Look at Athletico, won La Liga, a minute away from winning the champions league and they've lost their best defender and striker to Chelsea, not to mention all the players that have been pinched off them in the past despite being one of the top dogs.

    We'd be extremely lucky to get a player who is good and supports Charlton. Beyond. Would people rather have a player that is average but will never leave (cause no one wants him) cause we all know how we treat the unsuccessful players around here. Be happy. We may have just beat people to a promising player. How often do we see that?

    I was thinking - do you reckon RD saw how much McCormack went for and realised how much a top notch championship striker can fetch. Could be big money in the future if he lives up to his potential.

    Yes I do but not necessarily because of the McCormack deal. RD buys potential gets the benefit and sells for a profit. Good model if you can pull it off.

    Has Charlton signed Delort, or has RD signed him for "one of his teams", probably us or SL

    Especially considering he already sold one in January.

    Aaaaand breathe :-) that wasn't fun but glad CAFC saw it through, was kept very well under wraps until yesterday or so. Does look a good player,

    So this was one of the two you mentioned?

    So he has actually signed now then?
  • He is indeed, but no it's not official. I've not spoke for a few days with the person involved.. if we don't get him we're down to one potential, we should.

    Is that other team Brentford by any chance?

    He's just retweeted this if anybody cares to translate

  • Being widespread it's not too bad for people to know we are in for him, other teams coming in is the complication. Deal was meant to be done over the weekend

    Does that insinuate that his Agent was holding out for a better offer and one didn't come along (yet!) then?
