    Matt Derbyshire has signed for Rotherham, nice to know that the teams around us are strengthening early on in the window!!!

    On the topic of our own transfers, I'm guessing the O'Grady transfer has either fallen through or never existed in the first place. Surely a week after a fee has been agreed a contract could've been agreed too? Someone did post on Facebook we were in for a defensive midfielder, can't remember the name.

    Someone said O'Grady was at The Valley on Thursday. Maybe he was away previously.

    I'm sure i read that everything was in place, wages agreed etc but it was just up to him whether he wanted to come south, which is where it lies with him

    Matt Derbyshire? Strengthening? League One player at best. Could be worst than Church

    Who do want then lol ?

    Lisbie on that list. I actually think the worst decision we've made since relegation was not keeping him.

    FFP isn't the issue with Poyet unfortunately. Simply that he's out of contact and whatever happens is his choice and not ours. Hopefully we show some intent quickly with signings and persuade him to stay at least another year or two.

    It's not really just Poyet's decision though is it? If the offers crap then he can't be expected to take it!
    Still his decision though isn't it!

    I thought it was a bad decision at the the time and still do. He would have been better than Varney or McLeod.

    And Riga was replacing him as Academy Director. All mapped out and planned.

    It was just a rumour. I am going to give up believing what people tell me about Charlton.

    Charlton look set to beat a number of Championship clubs to the signing of Le Havre midfielder Distel Zola. #cafc http://t.co/zhyigzGuq6

    Could be good. I know we have cousins and poyet but we need strength in depth as well

    Well he could be seen as a replacement to Poyet. This rumour is popping up all over the place now. Might have some legs?

    My angry brother told me that it's network policy that in order to live within FFP rules, new Charlton signings can only have 1. Fact.

    Also linked with Genk so maybe Peeters has selected this one himself. What a novel idea.

    The rumour first surfaced on twitter on May 24 thanks to a French football website who said he was a target for us, Genk in the Jupiler Pro and FC Metz who just got promoted to French Ligue 1. He's 25 and apparently has one year left on his contract so would command a fee.

    On May 27 the same rumoured clubs were mentioned by Le Havre based twitter accounts but since then, that specific rumour went quiet.



    That is until yesterday afternoon when @Transfer_News24 who seems to 'specialise' in Championship rumours (but take these accounts with a pinch of salt) tweeted that it was "Charlton & a number of Championship clubs"...

    Finally, it found it's way onto the SSN website yesterday also: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9332915/transfer-news-championship-clubs-chase-le-havre-midfielder-distel-zola


    The latest from these twitter rumour accounts (which are usually 14 year old boys in their bedrooms) is that "Charlton are set to beat a number of clubs to his signature" so we'll have to sit tight and see where it goes. We've certainly been interested the longest if the rumours are to be believed.

    Thankyou Callum. Very helpful.
