NO CHANCE of Adam Johnson coming here. Nothing to do with his current court case just that Sunderland actually need him!

He's also on holiday at the moment...apparently he's gone to Tampa with the kids.

Some loan news coming in the next few minutes from cafc twitter page...

If you go by rumours and whispers the. It's one of three Johnson, Bennett or the young player from WHU

Ketts gets it right again.

But no cigar ; - )


More a forward than a winger I thought but we'll see how it goes. Don't know much about him but at 23 I'd guess that mean we have a chance of signing him if we like him.

What does it mean versatile forward, can he play wide?

it means he can run backwards as well.

Not played too many games for a 23 year old. Good luck Conor hopefully you can bang in a few here.

Charlton have completed the signing of highly-rated Everton forward Conor McAleny on loan, initially until November 7th, the club confirmed on Monday afternoon.

Equally adept at playing up front as well as wide, the 23-year-old enjoyed an eight-game spell at Cardiff City in the latter period of last season, finding the net twice.

Thank you CAFC twitter

Highly rated a few years ago, not sure why he hasn't progressed (injuries maybe)

Used to be listed on FM as a striker/left winger

Unfortunately, though, his six-month loan spell in west London was cut short due to injury having played just four games but, after recovering from a broken leg, the promising youngster penned a new three-year contract with Everton in summer 2014.

It's nice to see the club sign a domestic player.

Wonder what the thinking is over 8 week loan? Could be up to 12 weeks.

So we can renew to take him over Xmas or something Everton wanted?
