Hopefully Josh Cullen , also along Troy Parrott ( which I was the first to post on Monday morning ) i am hearing Smith-Rowe from Arsenal is a possible loanee. Arsenal keen to develop another young player with us this season.
Smith-Rowe is absolutely class. Can’t see that happening with Leipzig etc after him.

I'd heard the same about Smith-Rowe a couple of weeks back (around time of the Gills friendly), but it was very heavily qualified with "might move to Germany/other Champ interest/LB has other targets", and now the Dayot Upamecano thing has come round, probably that too.
Smith-Rowe strikes me as being very unlikely, but it's not something that's complete rubbish, I don't think.
If Cullen returned for a year it would mitigate some of the effect of the AD disappointment. It is quite conceivable that you could have Lockyer on the right side of a three backing up Solly, or Solly on the right side backing up Wiredu, or Lockyer backing up Wiredu. What I wouldn't have myself is Wiredu as a mainstay on the right side of defence. This is an area of concern without AD, but it is not insoluble. The midfield and very especially up front is a huge area of weakness that Cullen would help massively with. Absolutely clearly need a striker or preferably two, if two I wouldn't fall down weeping if one of them was Magennis.
Little bit of personal info here. I worked at West Ham United for 11 years and worked closely with the Media team.
ExWHU employee is best friends with David Sullivan and used to get his info BEFORE the clubs head of media. It was a running joke in the office that they would go to him for inside info!
Cawley saying premier league clubs have until the end of the month to loan league one clubs. Didn't realise that.
We're not in league one... yet!
Haha I know. It just means PL clubs don't have to rush to get their youngsters/fringe players out on loan, which may be a negative for us.
Dunno... depends if they think they're too good for League One Football i.e. If Josh Cullen ends up back at a League One team then its absolute madness
Yeah I meant more players with no loan experience. Of course players who have already proven themselves in league one won't be going back there, though doubt we'll be getting Cullen back anyway sadly.

From the sounds of the article, it would be a perm deal?

If he says it's happening it's happening!
DUO TARGET VINCENT-YOUNG
Charlton and Luton want to sign Colchester right-back Kane Vincent-Young.
The Addicks have just come in for the 23-year-old while Luton have seen an offer rejected.
