Transfer rumours thread (DEADLINE DAY starts page 300)

Louis Thompson, not his brother, Nathan, who his 25 as to Louis, 21, Louis has at least played pretty consistently in League One for Swindon over the last 2 years, no idea of how good he is or the type of creative / forward playing midfielder / or decent wide midfield that Charlton need. Welsh Under 21, so probably knows Morgan Fox as well.

Edit @SDAddick says that Louis Thompson is another defensive midfielder.

Bit off the pace today !

I think you were behind my post by about 30 seconds. I have the typing ferocity only accomplished through insomnia.

@Dazzler21 what'd I do to get a LOL? I'm such a funny person sometimes I don't even realize when I'm being funny. It's a burden.

Could it be finalised today redhenry do you know ???

No, was told yesterday that talks are ongoing with a midfielder. Was told weeks ago that Louis was on our radar.

It only takes a second to score a goal though @SDAddick and in 30 seconds that's 30 goals. No gold medals for second place either etc.

Its quality work @SDAddick. I didn't even consider checking FIFA & I'm at home.

Under curbs we never had a creative midfielder, Jones and kinsella were ball winners with reliance on Robinson and Newton to create. I'm guessing homes and harriot will provide width with the centre mids breaking up play and retaining possession without bombing forward

Kinsella scored some cracking crucial goals from midfield & knew how to pick a pass. Brilliant player at his peak.

True but we're two divisions lower with, theoretically, a different desire: promotion. Sitting deep, breaking up play, and hitting teams on the counter won't be enough.

In the title winning season, as has been pointed out ad nauseam, we had Stephens and Hollands, both of who were good on the ball, plus Green, Wagstaff Pritchard, etc. out wide. Even then, we often struggled to break teams down at times (especially when Stephens was injured). Playing it wide and trying to get crosses in for Nowak, or playing long balls for Nowak to knock down for Ajose isn't going to be enough I don't think.

We desperately need 2 strikers still

I think we only need one more, provided Lookman stays

Another target man providing lookman stays

Like Yann.


Move on I know but I cant!

One that can jump and head please, God help Preston this season.

At least there still in the Championship

@Redhenry - any idea what I'm having for dinner tonight?

Too many people see 6'7" and assume we should lump it to him and he leapsa further 3 feet in the air to power a header at goal.

Makienok needed balls to feet or chest, facing away from goal, before passing out to a winger and then waiting for the ball back in, Rotherham away style

But anyway, I agree we need another strong centre forward, though if he continues to progress like he is, Umerah is that man

You know how chants catch on I wonder if Preston will continue sarcastic wahey should he finally win a header.
