    I'm going to predict that we don't sign Henry

    Brustad in the #AIK squad again. Have #cafc cancelled the deal? They are still chasing a number of attacking targets, it remains to be seen

    Please Charlton don't let us down.

    Just get this over the line. Please.

    (Then on to the next 4)

    Is he that great ? Genuine question
    Well he was at Scumwall. The type of player who always did well against us.

    And for Wolves last year he tore Wiggins a new arsehole.

    So it's a yes from me.

    My Wolfsburg supporting mate seems to think we are signing Kevin De Bruyne,i reckon its probably him then.

    The same KDB that is meant to be joining Manchester City later this week?
    Good scoop @cafc4life :-)

    But has he got Championship experience?

    Have never really rated Henry that highly but it seems a reasonable fee for him, Chris Eagles replacement I guess.

    Don't even look like he's got shaving experience! I think we can regard this one as a hoax...

    Harry Winks you mean. Or are you his grandad and so call him by his 'proper' name?

    This says something like "Can the VT operator please delete the bit where he misses a sitter before the Charlton scouts see it"....

    Wow! If that's what we thought in 2007, that right there sums up the state of the English game. The only one involved with the England squad is Walcott, and he's nowhere near world class. I don't even think he's a top class premiership player. Not to be overly harsh but I would love to see the current equivalents. We can bookmark it and look back 8 years from now

    It's Colin's 'confirmed' response to anything he says from now on :wink:

    If he wasn't really fast I don't even think he would cut it in the champ. He really isn't very good.

    Come off it. He's a fantastic finisher and when he's on form he's completely unstoppable. His problem is a lack of consistency mostly caused by his tendency to get regular injuries. In the 12/13 season when he got a proper run in the side without injury he scored 21 in 43 which for a player generally shunted out on the wing is superb. In 13/14 he was in great form until he got that injury against Spurs. He's still only 26 as well. He's shown that when he stays fit for an extended period the goals flow. He's got a lot more than just pace

    Couldn't agree more. The difficulty I think is that when they break into the team people build them up without knowing if they will stand the test of time. It's natural, we want to get excited about new players coming through. There's one player I think going down exactly the same route as Walcott right now, Mr Sterling. Yes he looks talented, but I feel if he was the top top level, it wouldn't have been City going after him this summer.

    I want to be proved wrong with all these England players and would happily have it shoved back in my face, but I've seen it so many times. In my generation of watching England late 80s onwards, the only world class player we have had was Gazza. I can put him in the same bracket as the greats, the others have been good, but not great

    Unstoppable? Ronaldo and messi are unstoppable when in form, not ruddy Walcott.
    I admit he had a good season when he scored 20 off goals, but he was playing up top, for arsenal so you are always going to have a couple of a chances a game.
    No wonder the national team are a joke when bang average players like Walcott are deemed unstoppable.

    Few other Twitter sources picking up James Henry deal - TransferCentreLive (22.5k followers) quoting a permanent deal though probably just getting it from the Mirror chap.

    There are four players there I have never even heard of some 8 years later and another three I've only heard of through links with Charlton. Some of those careers really must have crashed and burned.

    I think he could be ridiculously hard to play against when he's fit. Games like the hat-trick against Croatia away, they just couldn't live with him. Personally think Walcott is above bang average but he just lacks consistentcy.

    I just realised this is the rumours thread so forget what I just said and crack on with the rumours....
