    Was told by two people today that we are in talks with an ex-england international defender, didn't have the name. With our track record it'll be Chris Poxwell and the talks will be about Lookman going to Huddersfield

    Well if this is true it's probably Matt Upson. Released by MK Dons in the summer.
    Upson is a good player but with apparently scare resources do Charlton need another defender with Pearce, Bauer, Konsa, Lennon, Texiera and Johnson. Unless we are going to lose a few of those ?

    Edited Thanks @ForeverAddickted

    Always get Lennon and Osbourne mixed up for some reason. Thankfully there's lots of helpful characters on Charlton Life ready to correct mistakes / misspellings / grammar etc etc :wink:

    I though he had just signed for Gillingham?

    I honestly thought Becks had retired.

    Harry Osbourne, perhaps?

    Once highly rated Academy prospect who broke his leg.
    Eventually ended up at Welling.

    Two kids in front of me today had Osbourne on the back of their (I think) last season shirts. I assumed it was their family name.

    Do we need another defender?
  • We could do with a left back.
  • Cawley suggesting Lookman may still go.

    Cawley suggesting Lookman may still go.

    Newshopper article suggests we're still looking at a winger too. Surely only needed if Lookman goes or they already decided Botake (sp?) is a dud.

    Lots of interest from PL and Champ. No formal bids as yet.

    Cawley suggesting Lookman may still go.

    Don't know why. He will be worth more in January and with a good season they will be falling all over him. They need to grow some

    Yeah, I think Lookman would be best off waiting until at least January to do one. If he does well, his wages and likely starts would increase.

    Of course if he gets battered and injured, he could lose out.

    I wish was more positive about Lookman staying:

    If a club offers 7 figures for Lookman he'll be gone. Meire has a cell on her spreadsheet that needs filling.

    Fully expect him to be gone at 11.59pm on Weds.

    Roland has zero interest in the football side of the business.

    Think Lookman will stay, just my opinion.

    Think Incomings depend on shifting Tex and Ba, just my opinion

    You could be right as the window closes at 11pm
