What does Cellino know anyway? Only a couple of weeks ago after appointing their new manager he said he's never heard of him! So what does he know of league 1 players?
He's also told all his players they have to live in Leeds City Centre, the new training complex is too far away and that certain players won't be signed due to their birthdays or their favourite type of fruit or something

A number of Championship clubs are keeping tabs on Leyton Orient defender Mathieu Baudry, Sky Sports understands.
Baudry has established himself as a key member of Russell Slade's side since arriving from Bournemouth in the summer of 2012.
The highly-rated centre-back impressed last season in helping Orient reach the League One play-off final and his performances have not gone unnoticed higher up the football pyramid.
Baudry was rewarded with a new deal at Orient last summer until 2016, but it is believed the Frenchman has a buy-out clause of £200,000 in his contract.
The news has alerted several sides, with the likes of former club Bournemouth, Brentford and Charlton all tracking Baudry as they look to bolster their defensive options.
Can't see us signing another centre back with RD wanting to see youth players given a chance. One reason Gomez might be happy to stay is because he'll actually get games with us.
I think we definitely do need another centre half. Morrison is Championship standard but other than that there's a lot of question marks. Bikey has been bounced around many clubs in the past few years and even though I'm happy with him he might take time to get back up to speed, Ben Haim is much the same story, and the two kids need to have the pressure taken off them. Lennon is older and ahead in the pecking order and should play but he's also untested over an extended period and Joe Gomez is only 17 and needs to be protected. Really I see us as having four centre halves and a youngster who we can use sparingly, and one of those four is also young and inexperienced. If one or two of them pick up an injury we'll be risking putting too much responsibility on the kids. Baudry would be a good partner for Morro. He's 26, in his prime and just coming off the back of a good season

Agree with this although either Lennon or Gomez can always be loaned out within the network to get their game time and experience, just saying like.

Know what you mean, but I don't think they'd have signed Bikey and Ben Haim if they weren't confident they'd do well for us?

What's he like? In FM he's kind of similar to Gomez, mobile, technically good and composed. Probably the sort of partner the others could do with, replacing Dervite.

I'm sure they'll do well, I'm just concerned that there will be fitness issues and so we need to be covered for all eventualities. I think Both Bikey and Ben Haim will need a lot of work to reach the level of playing Championship football every week, whereas Baudry can slot straight in. I think the teams that do well are the ones who have cover in every area of the squad
The telegram has arrived. Rumour has it, someone landed at 8pm from overseas. He's got to sign some paperwork and then scarfy time. He's not someone we've been linked with. You heard it here first ;-)

If it's true that he has a £200,000 buy out clause then we'd be fools not to go for it.
Bob Peeters says striker set to sign for #cafc over the weekend. Wouldn't say who.
This further more backs up my source and their info.
How big is CharltonByBlood? ;-)
