    If we sign anyone this week the usual chorus of moaning will of course follow with the primary moan being "how will the team gel with signings so late"

    ...apparently the store are already selling Baldock shirts.

    Baldock's squad number is 9..

    Which is close to 8.. Didn't Atletico say a new number 8 and a number close to it..
    It doesn't mean that the players possibly coming in are already playing as a number 8 (or close thereto) but that they will take those numbers from our squad list this coming season

    Although, saying that, didn't Juan Mata have the number 8 jersey at Old Trafford last season?
    That's what I'm saying..
    No it isn't. You were saying how Baldock would be a good bet as he had the number 9 shirt at Bristol City - that's the opposite of what I said
    That's not what I said..

    I said that I reckon it's him as Bristol City have made an offer for Agard, a likely replacement.

    Someone mentioned the number thing after to which I replied he could wear the number 9 shirt. I haven't a clue what number he wears for city and quite frankly don't care.

    Sorry, I must have the wrong thread, I thought this was about rumours of players we might be signing, obviously not.

    Got any yourself? ;-) Only literally a couple of people close to the club know these potential signings, it's guesswork for most. If I blurted out who they were it'd be pretty obvious who's let the cat out the bag...
    Sorry but like most people I rely on people like you to give us some hope, (even saying, if true) we will be buying 2 players this week but can't name them. At least some hope there. I look at this thread, see 40 odd new comments and hope. Sorry to let others down now with my comment

    Not necessarily this week, that's just me hoping it's pushed through that quick. The speed of it all is up to both parties. It's nicer for people to know we're still active in the window, than not. Gudmundsson, TBH, Bikey and one or two others I posted up as early as I knew they were a sure thing, this one I can't post names. Enjoy the ride that is the rumours thread :-)

    It's hardly a rumour without any names. People are getting giddy that "Charlton might sign 1 or 2 new players, but might not"

    I think the real reason Atletico Addick wont say anything is he is enjoying the attention :-)

    Bit harsh - I think he is just being careful not to get his source into trouble and possibly not get any info again. I for one am grateful he has posted what he has so far and think he comes across as genuine.

    He revealed the Gudmundsson signing 2/3 days before it happened. So have some faith!

    So would people rather know the names of some potentially exciting signings, get themselves all worked up that we're now gonna piss the league then be disappointed/suicidal if they fall through OR not know the names but have a reasonable and controlled amount of excitement wondering who they may be, and if they aren't signed only feeling mildly disappointed given it could've been anyone?

    The club have reserved key squad numbers for these two players... if you don't like what you read, then don't read the thread. I can always keep schtum in future and keep people further in the blue. I can't post the names however much I'd like to. If I was posting to show off I'd post the names, but I'm not going to go against my word

    Not asking you name names AA, but in your opinion, if they go through, will they excite us all?

    I feel like theres a coded message in there somewhere...

    "have reserved key...."

    @CAFCrumours: ADDRESSING #CAFC RUMOURS:

    Scott Parker won't be making an emotional return to the Valley.

    Brighton have not bid for winger C. Harriott.


    I can also confirm that we have not put in a bid for Ibrahimovic and Stoke are not interested in signing Simon Church.

    @AtleticoAddick You're info has really brightened up my day - seriously. And please keep posting, when you can, it's much appreciated!

    Atletico...on a scale of 1-10 how highly do you rate the 2 players? Are you more excited about the striker or midfielder?

    One you can hopefully answer without giving away any names to keep us intrigued.

    I think he a couple of pages ago that fans will be quite excited by the signings.

    I think Vetokele will take 9 if it doesn't stay with Church, while Gudmundsson will take 7 (no inside info, just informed guesswork).

    So it's either 6 or 10 to go with 8 IMO.

    For this league? Quite high, more confident if these go through than I was before I knew of them signing. Not sure r.e. the scale, whatever number I pick will be nitpicked to shreds, don't want to go too high incase they don't go through, and too low would cause pessimism. Other players asked for these 2 squad numbers and got turned down...

    Incidentally, I am not about to suggest that Atletico is spreading false info (I remember 1 or 2 other occasions when he has been spot on).

    But how about this as a way of proving having a credible source which will stop this back and forth in future.

    Can Atletico share the names of players with 1 trusted person of his on the board (or maybe one of the mods). If we do end up signing (or even being strongly linked to) the players in the next couple of days, then having somebody being able to state "yep - those were the names I was given" would clear all of this up and mean a cleaner rumours page which no slanging matches going back and forth.

    Of course Atletico, I would be more than happy to take custody of these names if you so wish :)

    I apologise if you have been around it already Atletico Addick, but have you heard anything related to when the signings might be done, if things go to plan? Thanks for your information!
