HE:TN was talking to Steven Gerrard today, could be nothing and totally un Charlton related but there was talk on here about Lyle possibly heading that way?

Would he be talking for the club, would imagine that is MS role.
I don't expect anything to happen today. I reckon the deal we were close to was either the Sheff Utd lad (he was perhaps a back up option and although it was all agreed we would prefer another target) or it was the Blackpool lad and we've not willing to pay over the odds).
Gallen said we have 3 bids in for players, so we'd have to have a bid accepted, contracts agreed and signed, medical carried out and passed all today in order to announce something... I can't see it.

Dont forget... Bowyer went to speak with a player on Wednesday then a lot of that would have been out the way
Whichever club that player belongs to; Bowyer wouldnt have been allowed to meet them until the clubs agreed a fee

Agreeing on terms of contract is done well before the medical. If terms of both the player and the receiving club have been agreed, a medical is the final piece really. That and the paperwork all signed prior to faxing it over the to EFL and FA.
Something could be done today, but yes, it might be a bit of a push.

True but Bowyer also said that the player asked him about his own (Bowyers contract). That's unlikely to be sorted until Saturday when Lees agent meets Matt.

Very true, just hope they were acceptable of Bowyer's response to that question
After all watching Southall and Bowyer I've got no concerns about them having a fractuous relationship
tomorrow is a bit of a 'free hit' really in terms of West Brom's league position etc.
more important to get the right players in before the end of the month with a view to the games coming up from Feb onwards, have got alot of the sides in and around us.
I'd rather we didn't rush signings in order to get the right players in.....if for example the Blackpool lad and the Sheff Utd fella were virtually done, but we've pulled out as we are shopping in a better quality shop now, then so be it - don't just want bodies for the sake of it.
Take it we’ve ruled out a signing to make the squad tomorrow? Not even any pretend rumours now..
I take it we have dropped out of two signings because better are available. Still two hours to go and the fat lady hasn’t even put her makeup on yet.
No doubt they are trying, but getting the signings right is more important that one game.
I completely agree, would’ve just been nice to have one in for this game seen as they’re as good as it gets in this league. Feel for Josh Davidson the job being asked of him.
Josh will be fine with Green and Doughty either side of him with Conor in behind.
Regarding the potential loan signing, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if we make another one at the end of the month, so long as we manage to get Cullen in on a permanent contract. He’s falling further down the pecking order at West Ham, especially as they’ve got in Fernandes and apparently looking at getting in Fellaini too. The longer it goes on, the less chance he has of getting into that side. He’d be far better off signing for us permanently.

Dont know why clubs dont just let clubs sign players yet include an opportunity to buy back / first refusal on any future deals
Means Cullen could come join us - No pissing about with going back every year - if he then reaches any potential; West Ham can purchase him again for a cheaper fee!!
Takes the piss a bit out of the club who have purchased the player in the first place and showed a bit of that with Deulofeu and Barcelona

@Bolderhumphreyreid i cant and won't confirm who told me, but i have no reason to disbelieve him.
