I heard a serious and well founded rumour that senior and respected recruitment and scouting professionals at the club had left or were leaving because meticulously planned scouting programmes were being over-ridden and ignored in favour of signing network or network/owner favourites who would clearly not be up to the standard required in the Championship.
Sorry if this is already common knowledge but I only heard it this week. It seems much of the scouting network has been out of action since the end of last season which could explain the lack of rumours.
Not sure if Bauer is an official scouting recommendation or just another Roland love child.
I didn't think we employed scouts as such any more since L1? I thought we worked with a network of self-employed scouts who work on comission? I am willing to be laughed out of court as a know-nothing sporting ignoramus.
Serge Gnabry is a loan (from Arse) rumour to us I've heard twice now. Probably just one of 'those' type of rumours though....
Seeing as Gnabry plays right midfield, does that mean Gudmundsson would be shifted to the left next season? Can't see our two best players forcing each other out of the team.
Reams on ITTV now backtracking and saying that Yann will be revisited in January, and the other two 'talks are ongoing', followed by 'if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen'.
I'm thinking of getting into that racket. Lionel Messi to join Charlton on a season long loan after his sex change. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. I'm ITK you see
To be ITK, you are being far too specific.
You need to give some general information "I hear that a club [never name them] is interested in selling us quality player [try not to say what position, otherwise you will be tied to it] soon [never, ever give deadlines]"
Then wait for some facts to come out about anything or anyone [doesn't matter who] and adjust your story accordingly. If nothing happens say "it was all set to go, but the agent got in the way at the last minute"
Bingo! you too have joined the ITK, football rumour version of cold reading.
In other news, I hear that Cousins was in first thing this morning to start training, before anyone else is back.
Jordan has been at SL, running , each time we've been there over the past few weeks.

Great role model & Charlton through & through.
He's been at Standard Liege? The network stealing our best players, hiss boo :-)

Brighton signed Liam Rosenior today, plenty of Premier League experience and can do a good job in the Championship, surely he is the kind of player we should be looking to compete to sign at least? Our financial situation surely doesn't differ too much from Brighton?

He's probably still mentally scarred from Jerome Thomas running rings around him when Fulham visited all those years ago
Watched all goals from 2014-15 and only one headed goal and does not seem to be the one trying to get his head on the ball when it comes over. May not be the target man we are looking for? The first half of video is his goal celebrations?
Noticed this article mentions us, I can't translate on my phone thou.
The interest comes mainly from Turkey, but would also Roland Duchâtelet interfere in the debates. The strong man among other Standard and Charlton Athletic De Sutter would like to get to England. A deal that seems definitely ruled out. The fact Sutter had recently been looking at his cards in Het Nieuwsblad . "Sports include English second division is not interesting. You do not play the European or the title. But you play football each week to 20,000. The perception is better than in Belgium. Take Charlton. You can live in London, leading a wonderful life , playing in a great competition. That would be me to say something, "it sounded when.

I called this while ago and was laughed at ...
Not saying I'm right yet but I'm almost there ...
Apparently @AFKABartram is moonlighting as an employee for Borussia Mönchengladbach!!!!!
Apparently close to signing for Real Madras but Beercalona are in contention also.
Great role model & Charlton through & through.
Just networking.
