Been told potentially 3 in this week, not been given names etc, all very hush hush. Expect the 2 mentioned already to be 2 of the 3 for obvious reasons

Berry, Edwards… and Mannion?

Leonard available for a fee in the region of 300k. Wrexham linked. We should be all over this.

Can see the name of Wrexham is gonna be a real pain in the arse before long...bloody upstarts...🙄

Would love Leonard

We've may have an advantage with Leonard as Jones is very well thought of at Brighton.

I've actually heard 4 names in this week, if things go to plan (so not likely)

GK, LB 2xCM 

Amazingly I'm also going to name my source, had a customer at the bar last night and we were chatting football, he told me he works in the industry, I mentioned I'm a Charlton fan "for my sins" and he said funny enough he's got a couple of acquaintances that work for us, and proceeded to tell me that we're trying to recruit early and he's heard upwards of 4 names we're looking to get done

He had a couple of sherbets by then so could have been a random guy talking bollocks, but there we go

Not sure they'll care if it's a perm rather than a loan

NJ’s pull in full force with the Luke berry move, could have easily got a gig in the championship

Sonny Bradley one of our top targets for CB but Derby not keen to let him go yet.

More chance of getting Sonny Liston.

Random guy talking bollocks is the meat and drink of this thread mate. Nice rumour.

Around 300k is nothing to Brighton, they will want him to go where's best for his development.

Around 300k is nothing to Brighton, they will want him to go where's best for his development. 

Especially if a sizeable sell on percentage is agreed - they will still very much have a vested interest in his development!

The sell on is a very good point

MarcusH26

I'd expect Leonard to have a very sizable sell on if sold. Brighton just have too many CMs for him to break through. 

ShootersHillGuru

I think it’ll come down to where Leonard can picture both Charlton or Wrexham in two years time or perhaps more to the point which clubs manager can sell the product better. 

ElliotCAFC

Not sure Leonard is a Nathon Jones sort of player, very technical but not very athletic. I doubt he's one we're looking at but who knows.

Would put my hat on our first announcement being the earliest for 10 years then.

Led to believe that Berry is done and Edwards is close. We are also in talks with another central midfielder.

Any clues on who the other Central midfielder is ?

They'll be more interested in the % of the sell on fee

Don't know much about him but Wiki says he played 45 and 46 games respectively over the last two season so no issues about missing a lot of games.

Impressive tackling and interception stats, up there with Dobson - if he's not done that through athleticism he must be reading the game very well.

Very true, we had Bobby Zamora in at the weekend, again spoke about football and upon hearing I was a Charlton fan he said "I loved playing there, I always scored against you lot" from what I can find he scored against us once

Are we likely to actually announce any this week?

Depends on lots of things probably - like player availability for the photos etc, do we do multiple single announcements or go for a double/triple announcement, etc etc.

Lots of pretty reliable sources making the same noises leads me think we might hear something end of this week or maybe next but that's just a guess.

AndyG

now dont shout at this question lol. I dont really know any of the names being mentioned as our likely targets but do people feel if we manage to sign them are they a step up ? after all most thought that Fraser & Kirk were the bollox when they came ! I just hate the thought of more false dawns
