Mr. Plumb, maybe this will give you cause for hope? This is from Colinthailand a couple of dyas ago:
I pulled on to the rank at Orpington station where I have a couple of pals working, Orpington comes under the London borough of Bromley and is the most Southernly taxi rank I am allowed to work......second job who jumps in RIO FERDINAND.....Farnbrough park please mate, Rio looked very well and I said to him " Apart from England's performance how was Paris". He told me he had a great time with the other lads out there, we briefly discussed the favourites for the job of England manager, he asked me who I fancied , I told him I know it would never happen but " Your old boss would be my favourite" He laughed and said " Fergie would set us up to lose on purpose the scotch git"..............Rio had to get out of the cab to put a code into the first security gate and made sure the code was hidden from view, We then come to the house he had built for his mum and drove to the side of that where he had to get out and do the same thing with another code to open a security gate, when he got back in again I said to him " Anyway Rio I know nothing about football I'm a Charlton fan " he was quiet for a minute ,we pulled up outside his door and he got out and paid me with £1 tip he then said to me " I happen to know that by Christmas or the new year Charlton fans are going to be getting some very good news" I asked him if that meant he was buying the club ? He smiled and said " No but big big money is getting involved" ....I said " come on you can't leave me hanging like that ". Rio laughed and said " have a busy night mate and take care" We shook hands and he went inside..................Maybe something in that , who knows. If not, why would he say it?

I'm in jury service at the moment and by coincidence there is somebody from Dartford FC here.
They've heard that PV is back in the game with regards to us (they don't like him, rude to DFC in dealings apparently). Recent development as well.
Not sure how true but it's a transfer rumour of sorts.9 -
SkySports... Dont think these have been reported anywhere so would love to know who their Sources are...
BURNLEY'S DOUBLE DEAL?
Sky Sources are telling us that Burnley are closing in on their first signings ahead of their return to the Premier League with a double raid on Charlton Athletic.
Icelandic winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson and goalkeeper Nick Pope are expected to undergo medicals in the next 24 hours.0 -
I think Rio is mistaken. The cabbie was clearly referring to Arry.0

Burnley fans must be a bit pissed off. They win the league and they're looking at players from a shambolic league one club whilst Middlesbrough who were runners up are off signing Negredo, Subotic, Ramirez and a host of other foreign stars.11 -

They have a point3

The more I think, the more I cant believe a Prem club are paying seven figures for a goalkeeper who (until the last couple of months of the season) had colective Charlton fans arses twitching every time he went near the ball.
Obviously we need a keeper in, but if we picked up a Ben Hamer equivalent for the same money as we picked Ben up for, and got a million for Pope, it would be a no brainer.
Big If in the above paragraph though.

Lets see how it pans out over the season and who finishes it the higher position.

Where is Ben Hamer? Wouldn't mind bringing him back if he fancies L1 football again...6

Still contracted to Leicester. I imagine he's had a nice hike in wages now he's on the books of a Champion's League club.BigRedEvil said:Where is Ben Hamer? Wouldn't mind bringing him back if he fancies L1 football again...

I wasn't an enormous Hamer fan but he was a lot better than Pope and we did well with him before . Would take him on loan2

I keep seeing suggestions from fans that Tex is off is this pure speculation or has there been an offer?0

They have learnt lessons & have proved it by bringing in an English manager & signing 3 players with experience of the league that we're in ................... they've just under estimated this division & come next May they'll apologise for mistakes made & declare, We start from here !!!!!FORD said:
Southend have more ambition! Seriously starting to think that lessons haven't been learnt with this lot, balancing the book is the only ambition they have.Gillis said:
Southend have a proper CEO.ForeverAddickted said:Wow... Southend United have signed Simon Cox (Out of Contract) from Reading.
Thats a really good signing for them, someone who hasn't scored lots of goals yet last time he was in League One he scored 46 goals over around 80-games
Would have loved him at the Valley!!0 -
He just won the league with Leicester......wmcf123 said:I wasn't an enormous Hamer fan but he was a lot better than Pope and we did well with him before . Would take him on loan
Not convinced he'd want to drop to our level and get more abuse from a bunch of fans furious at how the club is being run

With their windfall it's nothing more than a punt. The equivalent is like us spending £200k on a player when we were in the Prem - it's nothing.
Zero risk to Burnley and Popey will probably quadruple his wages

Don't want to lose Pope but there are plenty of good, young up and coming keepers out there. Ben Garatt at Crewe would be worth a look after they were relegated last year.2

If pope becomes a regular premier goalkeeper i will be amazed, not good enough on the deck and 1 million is good money for Roland.3
-
Not that i am backing the regime by saying this because i really do not, but selling Pope for £1m is not a bad price at all. He could potentially be a very good keeper, like other keepers he is prone to errors, but which keepers aren't. As much as i would have liked him to stay i'm not thinking we have been robbed here. Potentially losing Henderson as well is a bit of a choker, but he is a bit prone to injury. When fit he is very solid.
I do hope they plan on bringing someone in rather than promoting from within. I know Philips did well at Cheltenham but we need some experience at the back, with Philips as number 2 maybe. Will be interesting to see how things develop this week if both keepers go.0 -
but a lot of people would have been surprised if he made a decent championship player a few months ago but he did.scabbyhorse said:If pope becomes a regular premier goalkeeper i will be amazed, not good enough on the deck and 1 million is good money for Roland.
Players do develop and improve, especially with good coaching and management which he is more likely to get at Burnley.3 -
A host of foreign stars? Maybe Burnley want to go with players experienced in the English leagues?Chris_from_Sidcup said:ForeverAddickted said:SkySports... Dont think these have been reported anywhere so would love to know who their Sources are...

Or should people look for the better value players abroad? Perhaps we should have looked at players from one of the top 10 FIFA ranked nations, like Belgium perhaps, to get better value players than the Brits we have been looking at so far?0 -
Just had it on good authority we are in talks with goalkeeper from the Scottish leagues with vast experience in league 1. Seems to think it could be a guy called Owen van Williams, never heard of him myself0

A dutch Welshman or someone a Welsh van hire driver? Owen the Van? ; - )CH4RLTON said:Just had it on good authority we are in talks with goalkeeper from the Scottish leagues with vast experience in league 1. Seems to think it could be a guy called Owen van Williams, never heard of him myself
Or this guy

Owain Fon Williams. Used to play for Tranmere. Was probably one of the better keepers when we were in league 1 last time.4
