    Same story just appears on twitter
    Rennes look to hijack Charlton Athletic's move for Andy Delort.

    Good...and I hope they get him quickly. This whole transfer fiasco has dragged on for far too long, pissed everyone off and is actually embarrassing us as a football club now imo. We should get a move on and spend our money elsewhere before the window closes.

    ...oh and cheers Colin.

    The problem here is with us fans. We've made it a fiasco. It hasn't really dragged it's just been played out in public which is unlike us.

    I still want him plus one of those wingers we've been linked with

    I am not sure it's entirely fair to say it's fans who have made it a fiasco - which it is by now, admittedly. I see a lot of it as being down to Tours playing silly buggers, spreading rumours about different clubs coming in for him on a nearly daily basis and playing hardball financially against a club (us) on a much sounder footing and with much better prospects in nearly every way- against the wishes of the player and ourselves. Peeters pretty much ducked any comment when asked directly but so far as I can see, only one club has made a definite offer to Tours, reached terms with Delort and made real progress beyond enquiries - and that is us. The only reason it has not happened is not to do with us, it's not to do with the player, it's because of Tours.

    There's no potential sell on value in baldock whereas there is in delort. I'm sure Roland is looking at future potential value in a player so signing players from abroad makes sense


  • The fee has sort of been agreed... Ettori has told Delort that if he doesn't agree to join another club by August 31 then Tours will accept Charltons 3m euro offer.

    How ridiculous!We have to rely on a player and a club to keep their word on the last day or so of the transfer window and if they dont we are without another striker.I really can't see us agreeing to this!

    Hey if it doesn't work out we can always recall PP from his loan ;)
  • If Tours don't sell Delort then they go bankrupt...

    Pretty sure they will sell him, just hope it's to us!

    Baldock is only 25. Plenty of time to develop and command a bigger fee.

    It doesn't mean we can't pull out if we find someone better before then or who's dad isn't on Twitter. Risky for Tours as well.

  • A whole load of nonsense from Eric Delors I think. No way we would agree to have another club effectively holding all the aces on the last day of the transfer window and see us left with Church as the number three striker.

    I know I am being cynical but could the word be put out by the Tours President to get Charlton to pay more. Don't forget that QPR were interested a week ago.

    Think you're right. But regardless, let's move on and get someone like Baldock.
    Definitely think this is a good call. Sick of all this hassle with Tours. Also last season Baldock was joint top scorer of League One with Assombalonga. And look how HE's started at Forest! Baldock is still young and is a proven goalscorer. Also on the last year of his contract with Bristol City, so could get him cheap. Sign him up Roland!
    Didn't someone on here say Baldock has signed a new 3-year contract?

    Que Sera Sera.

    Charlton need to make sure that they get a decent striker in. If its not Delort then I hope that they have a plan B so that the positive momentum to the season can be maintained,

    Saw this on twitter but only one account has said so, and probably isn't completely reliable.
  • They'll have a plan B in place. This is a professional football club, believe it or not. :-)
  • His said dad has said there has been no approach from hull.
  • This content has been removed.
  • Other than what his "Dad" has said are there any actual websites that mention Rennes or Hull at all?

    Hull was just one Tours fan, there was some substance behind the Rennes one, I think L'Equipe covered it.

  • One random person mentions Hull and no doubt tomorrow all the "ITK" twitter accounts will be tweeting news of Hulls interest.
  • Bahebeck was an unused sub for PSG on Saturday. It's time for him to force through his dream move to us.

  • Hmmm is that the Tours President shite stirring... He sounds a complete tool!!
  • The fact that he says there is a one In a million chance delort will come to charlton shows that he is playing silly buggers with the club and jeopardising the future of tours.. As delorts dad said on twitter - tours HAVE to accept the bid otherwise they go bankrupt!
  • Hopefully now (for the President not the fans) Tours do go Bankrupt and Delort joins us for free!!
