    We have signed a left footed left back! Loan so not spent a penney

    he was due to be announced on the team sheet today, but obviously it didn’t quite go to plan. He’s a steady-Eddie but has had a decent season before Christmas.

    still looking at a couple of others.  One of which could be rather exciting if we can get him.

    we narrowly missed out on Massimo Luongo who chose to go to Ipswich.  Shame as he’s decent
    who is it then? Don't understand the need for secrecy if its done
    Because he’s probably been told in confidence and is respecting the wishes of his contact and if he didn’t you won’t get anymore tit bits from him in the future.
    Fair enough.

    Not sure why we are going all cloak and dagger super spy secrecy over a signing that is already done and dusted but that's not Swisdom's fault.

    The idea to announce on the team sheet was to gain a slight edge on our opponents.  The club said they would announce later once people had calmed down from a wasted day.

    just be happy it’s a proper left footed left back who apparently had a decent first half a season.

    we are working to bring players in who will fit in. One is an attacker who can play as a #10 and a winger.  Exciting player but has had a slightly unfulfilling loan so needs a change of scenery and needs to take the plunge and get his mojo back.  That one is more hopeful than expecting but the person I spoke to was pretty hopeful…and excited by this potential signing.
    Possible this evening? Or tomorrow? Or waiting until Monday now?

    Would these be loans Swisdom? Sounds positive at least.

    Looking at loans but Luongo would have been a permanent 

    not sure when it will be announced now.  Presumably the comms guys are travelling back so might wait a bit now.
    But we’re skint and have no intention of spending money ?

    Don’t know how true these rumours are but us and Oxford are interested signing Burstow on loan from Chelsea. Would you lifers have him back in SE7?

    If we have signed a left back the holes in the squad that pissed me off at the end of the last window have been covered IMO. I actually think we have some more than decent players for the level but it is stupid to go into the season, at least past August, with the lack of cover we did. And we have paid the price for it. Any extras would be a bonus as far as I am concerened. Of course there is still time to open the holes up but the window so far has been satisfactory.

    Wouldn't a player have to be registered with the FA yesterday lunchtime to play today? Can you keep a signing secret for 24 hours?

    Scully would be very decent.

    Think it was rumoured in the summer we were interested in Anthony Scully. His time at Wigan has not gone to plan whatsoever. Would be nice if we were to reignite that interest and bring him in, especially if one or both of DJ and Kirk leave. Very good player at this level. 

    Would be a fantastic addition if we could make that happen , can play centrally too but I agree you'd need DJ or Kirk out the door first.

    Hopefully they’ve already got moves lined up and it’s a case of getting our target in first 🤞.

    Given neither has really featured under Holden I wouldn't be surprised if they have moves out lined up. Can't see either really being Holden players in terms of what he said he wants from the squad.

    who is it then? Don't understand the need for secrecy if its done
     This.

    If he was going to start at 3pm then his signing can be "revealed" at 5pm ffs !!

    Don't know who is playing games but its fucking childish. 
    Honestly, the amount that the admins have to spend on irony overload protection servers so the entire website doesn't explode must be astronomical

    Exciting.
    Pity it didn’t work out as that would have been fantastic, especially for the fans who travelled.
    Can you imagine the reaction when Jordi Alba walked out in a Charlton shirt!
    I’d much rather it was Jessica Alba.

    The signing should have been revealed at 2pm once the game had been called off. The Posh fans would then be devastated they never got to see Messi play there.

    I don't believe it, has a player being announced on the team sheet ever happened before? It's one of those things like a "pay as you play" contract that doesn't really exist.

    It’s Luke Shaw - he’s got the hump that Ten Hag is playing him at CB and wants to play left back.

    Matt Penney is the name being quoted elsewhere.
