    Just got a text from my father in law (BCFC season ticket holder) Billy Sharp has split opinion with their fans. He said basically if Billy is played correctly as a no.10 behind the front 2 he's very effective when out of position not so!

    What about Billy Clarke though?
    I think its Billy Connolly that we will be signing.

    Bit of a big one breaking on Clubcall's Charlton page - https://www.clubcall.com/charlton-athletic/diego-costa-antonio-conte-has-told-me-he-does-not-want-me-at-1853561.html

    Reading between the lines, I guess we're his second choice if he can't secure a return to Atletico.

    I heard a rumour that Katrien has worked out that the problem in the last few years has been that we have signed too many of the wrong players. So to prevent this from happening again we will be signing no one at all.

    Strategy is working well so far. Congrats to Kat

    Cawley saying millwall not interested in Marshall

    That's not what I heard from a journalistic source but Cawley would have better info I suspect. Good news if we can clinch it.

    Clarke Confirmed, reading Meire's comments it looks as though any deal to bring Reeves here is off.

    But according to her he was our number one priority for the number 10 role, does she ever tell the truth? To be honest why even interview her about signings? KR said he is happy and so has the player end of story.

    Not sure I needed another reason to avoid CAFC merchandise but they happily provide one.

    I think she intended to highlight that Clark isn't a 2nd choice option but what we want to hear is that we need more than one player for every role and that Billy is the first key part of the jigsaw...as more signings are being worked on.

    Reeves and Marshall are the ones we really want and the only players we've been linked with that will show real intent / sell tickets.

    Anyone believe Katrien Meire even knows or cares what a number ten is?

    This place is unbelievable

    1 new signing and we've managed to slag off the new training kit, the signing and Katrien

    Impressive.

    Of course she knows what number 10 role is, when it's followed by the number 30. Its nearly time for work. ;)

    To my eyes it's black with traditional Hummel chevrons and a bit of piping. Hardly an eyesore - it's a training kit ffs

    It looks like two designs incorporated into one shirt. It might work when viewed in it's entirety but in the photos seen so far I think it is not very appealing.

    General question...

    If we could have David Ball or Ben Reeves come here, who would you pick and why?

    I would have reeves but either would be excellent additions to our squad
