    So we all moan saying we are not signing players who know the championship

    We get linked with someone who does know this league and we dont want him? - Yes has had a bad couple of years but when on form.. he is very dangerous

    Sylvan Ebanks-Blake would be a good signing at this level on a free

    So on that basis lets give Churchy a 5 year deal! PL here we come!

    Ladies and gentlemen.. The most stupidest comment ever on Charlton life.


    It's "the stupidest" or "the most stupid".

    I'll accept either of those. It was only a f*****g joke anyway.

    Nobody really seems to know, both teams supposed to still be negotiating.

    It's alleged we've offered £2M & they want £3M.

    As far as SEB goes. If he's still fit/good enough to play Championship football.
    Why did Mick McCarthy/Ipswich release him ?
    I presume because they don't think he's good enough, for whatever reason.

    We are trying to do a Southampton and clearly Brentford want to do a Charlton hence the competition for players

    SEB would be a good addition to our squad. He may not be able to last the whole game so use him as a sub & bring him on with 15 mins to go..........better option than Harriott doing that role IMHO.

    I would use him as a sweeper.

    Or perhaps they need those wages to be spent elsewhere in the team as more of a priority. There are more reasons to not retain someone other than not being good enough.

    Do Ipswich have the greatest of Strikers themselves..? - Like Charlton Id always say that its a position they're lacking in so for them to release SEB if he's really that good must be saying something.

    The fact McCarthy managed him whilst he was at Wolves (the high point of his career) and has now released him at Ipswich says he's no where near as good as he used to be

    Precisely. Nail on head.

    I think McCarthy said they had to let some players go to comply with FFP

    Tours have raised a Brentford rumour and a midweek appearance and Charlton have met that with a Sylvan Ebanks Banks interest rumour of their own. Tours need the money. Charlton want the striker. Delort is likely getting a bit pissed off. Charlton supporters have stopped thinking it is going to happen and have stopped bothering with it.

    Apologies if people are getting bored of the Delort saga but a little update..

    Been trolling the Tours forums and this is what seems to have come up:

    Delort told the Tours coach, Pantaloni, that he wanted to play if he wasn't been sold immediately. The coach agreed and Delort went and announced that he would be in the matchday squad for the midweek games.

    The Tours President rejected this request to play on the grounds that he did not want Delort to get injured and hamper a potential move. This has apparently made the coach extremely angry as obviously he cant play his star player. He is going on a sports show/talkshow in the morning apparently..

    The situation as it stands...

    You have a pissed off manager, an upset player who wants to leave, fans who think that the whole saga is ridiculous and want what's best for Delort (a move to Charlton) and on top of that FFP who want their money...

    RD must be rubbing his fingers together like Monty Burns saying "Excellent"

    We seem to be in a pretty strong situation here... only thing that worries me is rumours of us going in for SEB

    You are right - Delort hype is now getting boring.
    We should be getting excited about the Costa Rican fella. My Costa Rican Blackheath buddy reminded me he's a shit hot penalty taker who took the opening penalties against Greece and Holland.
    Perhaps JJ is going to be relieved of his duties?

    You've been Trolling a Tours forum? That's advanced Trolling, that is. What have you been saying? "Tours, vous etes un bunch of French surrender monkeys? Vous etes in line for relegation"?

    The situation for Andy Delort almost sounds the same as when Jonjo Shelvey left us for Liverpool.

    i.e. In Jonjo's case the deal had been made official yet wanted to continue playing for us because it wasnt to take effect for another month (Of course Parkinson confirmed that he couldnt play because he couldnt risk Shelvey getting injured)

    @PeterStempel: Celso Borges not interested in playing in The Championsip. According to his agent. Charlton Athletic is not happening at this point.

    AIK are already out of Europe I believe, so playing in the championship wouldn't be a step down imo.

    Some random Aston Villa supporter living in, or near, Stockholm - he doesn't appear to be someone particularly ITK with anything football related. He's probably tweeting what most of us are thinking "why would a successful international want to come to CAFC?"

    I think he means me, Madz, for suggesting that if "experience in the Championship" was so important we should give Simon Church a 5 year contract. I was being flippant and paid the price with a stern rejoinder from the esteemed CbB. Ouch!
