"£10M BID TURNED DOWN FROM MIDDLESBROUGH FOR IVAN TONEY"
Yeah call me sceptical but that sounds bollocks to me. We havent got 10p
I think you would be surprised how much money we have. Bowyer found £1 in the glove box of his car earlier so thats £1.10. The bad news is it was the pound for his Tesco shopping trolley.
If we made an offer for Ivan Toney that means there is some kind of budget somewhere.
Maybe Bowyer is selling Dijksteel to get a striker in. It's sounds unlikely, but maybe he got agreement with Roland that he would be allowed to spend any money generated in the window? Especially as RD has got the Lookman sell on money
So according to Sky the club have turned down a bid for Taylor as has been reported on all social media. Now call me skeptical (sp), but I have a couple of theories about this-: 1) Taylor was never going to be sold, but by the club saying a bid has been rejected it shows RD in a 'good' light that he has held onto one of our best players and he gets some kind of kudos! 2) Taylor is up for sale, first bid rejected, 2nd or 3rd bid accepted out comes the "We did all we could to hold onto him, but he wanted to go as it was a massive pay rise for him, and we couldn't match their offer" 3) As number 1, but add "We did all we could to get 5 players over the line, didn't quite get it done in time, but hey we've still got Lyle" 4) All a smokescreen to deflect from AD leaving for Boro 5) As number 2, but "deal didn't go through until late and it didn't allow us enough time to get any replacements in; but RD has promised we can have the funds in January to strengthen IF we are pushing for promotion"
Anything I've missed?
You might be over-complicating things, RM. The positions of Dijksteel and Taylor seem unrelated. Duchatelet doesn't bother with smokescreens.
He might reject another offer from Brentford; in a previous window he did spurn Blackburn's advances for Bauer - then saw the player go for free at the end of his contract.
Brentford are flush, having just copped £20m from Brighton for striker Maupay. They might make Duchatelet an offer he won't refuse.

There is only one place where a peaceful mass protest of Charlton fans would have any effect.
Exactly. It's his manor, and he needs his routine, which includes lunch at Stayen pretty much every day.
That said, he employs a lot of the 30k citizens, and has a good (but not invincible) relationship with local plod.
Another mass protest is worth doing and do-able, but we should also think about other ways to embarrass him in front of those whose admiration he craves.
I really admire the Led by Donkeys poster campaign but thus far we didn't get sensible quotes for posters over there. I would love to know how, and for how much the Donkeys guys got that big poster in Brussels for the very moment of Theresa May's visit.
I still have my Donkey outfit, if you could use this in any way

Mentions they've turned down a £3m and £3.5m bid (Surely for Marcus Maddison?) from a club too

Another Dijksteel that could have been of interest.
