Charlton Rumours Rumours Rumours - The Big Kahuna

Played for Wigan last year after joining in Feb, they offered him a new deal that he turned down. Interestingly he played for Pune city before that

3 goals in 13 games for an awful Wigan side. Not a bad option if we can't get longer term targets.

I said it a month or so ago (if you want to trawl through thousands of threads) that we need to bring in another couple of striker....at least one needs to be a 20 goal a season man. Last 2 away games has shown that we can create the chances but they need tucking away. Now we are going into a couple of games with no Watt & No Reza......leaving just the Great Dane, KAG and...........that's it !!

You do spout some daft panicky nonsense golfie. We have Tony Watt, who has 3 goals in 4 games and won't be out for long. Sure, we need another striker as long as Igor is out, but who is this mystery 20 goal a season man you speak of? Andre Gray didn't even get 20 league goals last season and he's valued at £9 million. Do you have a name in mind that we can afford and who will score 20 goals? Because in these months of posts I haven't seen you name one. And if there isn't one then what's the point in panicking over something that can't happen?

15-love.

To be honest Pennant would not be the worst signing in the world - he ticks the boxes marked British/knows the league/experienced, and his record is decent if unspectacular. He does have a past as they say but Luzon seems to have managed Tony Watt pretty well - he can do the same with Pennant I am sure.

I don't think Tony Watt has ever been sent to prison for drunk driving or had to wear an electronic tag during a game.

Pennant was a very good player in his day and I'm not saying his criminal record should prevent him signing but he's now 32 and not been playing at a high level for some time.

Worth a trial for sure but not holding my breath.

That's a fair point. Pennant's criminal record is quite clearly more concerning than Watt's reputation for being a bit of a wild card off the pitch, I don't question that. On the other hand, I would not imagine he would be anything other than a back-up option, I believe he's played on either wing at various points and as with signings like Johnson or Eagles (neither of whom had recent playing time at high levels either), perhaps a bit of experience would be tempting to whoever it is who chooses our signings.

As I say, not the worst possible signing. But most certainly not the best either - I would have been much happier had the Henry deal come off though that now seems unlikely.

Denayer did very well for Celtic. A very strong, athletic centre half and I'd be delighted if we could get him on loan. I suspect his sights would be higher and we couldn't afford his wages though.

Right wing, left wing and prison wing.

Looks like he is heading for Marseille

Gary Hooper on the move. Major shock. Major loan fee and extras. What a statement signing ...


Could this be us?

Millwall have him

Surely Brizzle City, cash to burn, desperate for a signing.
