    Teamtalk is a football news site that’s been going for at least 20 years. The Clare rumour on there was the first time I can remember it being first to an accurate story, though I hadn’t properly looked on there in years until yesterday.

    Makes me feel very old - I remember when it was a phone line.

    Not that happy with this quote from Avory: "...that the Academy can achieve that, as we have done with so many other products over the years".

    These lads are young adults, they are NOT products from a factory! (Or are they?)

    Academy product is quite a common turn of phrase isn't it?


    product
    /ˈprɒdʌkt/
    noun
    1. 1.
      an article or substance that is manufactured or refined for sale.
      "food products"
      • 2.
        a thing or person that is the result of an action or process.
        "her perpetual suntan was the product of a solarium"

        I think it's in the spirit of 2.

      Some are, one in four are robot players.

      One in twelve are memories created by 5G signals around The Valley - it’s why there are certain players never spoken about in football outside of Charlton fans.

      Kyle Edwards taking a break from training with us to continue his trial at Reading

      I'm sure the term isn't intended to belittle or offend any player and it is indeed a common word in this context.

      For some reason the same sentence jumped out at me and I thought that it could be misinterpreted and perhaps 'product' could/should be replaced with 'player' as I think this suggests greater respect to parents etc.

      Prospects would also fit, might have been predictatext.
    8. Am I missing something here Edwards trialing at Reading, but training with us?, surely you don't trial with two clubs at the same time, do you??, or are we getting him fit for Reading??? :*

      I like Maatsen but would just prefer a more solid LB and maybe with more aerial presence.

      A LB who uses Aerial to clean his kit?

      Don’t see why not, if he was testing the water and keeping his options open and if we were happy to accommodate.
    11. We were just a rebound :(

      It’s all to do with agent Ged Roddy. He is really a scout for reading and an imposter at Charlton.

    14. If he's playing for Reading tonight then he's not training or trialing with us. So we can kill that rumour

      He is at Reading because Roddy and Nigle recommended the local dentist.

      And just to prove that thoery... Cawley says no truth in it.
      No he is clearly talking about the Cardiff player, who actually plays for Middlesbrough.

      Your mates had your pants down this time.
      Perhaps he meant this edwards?

      There we go. Was a strange one, started by a random Twitter account and then spread here and backed up by others. It shows not everyone has the contacts to match the naked teenager from Wigan.

      Eddie the Eagle? 

      No thanks, no one related to Palace.
    20. With Edwards being a complete non starter , I wonder who this winger target is?
