    Any idea who's BT is?

    It sands for back, top - it's to help them figure out which way their socks go on - you know these footballers aren't very bright.

    The socks, if you look at all the training pictures they have their own initials on the back.

    Big Toes then. No point picking up a pair for Little Toes.

    (ed. fake news)

    Our friend Roger said he had a Holmes scoop ready for 8pm. No sign of it.

    Think the kid got bored... or maybe he's too engrossed in his FIFA save.

    100% it's Stewart, that'll be the 4 wingers that Robinson said he wants on the books, plus Reeves who is still to come, hopefully, and that's the attack sorted.

    I'd be well happy with Stewart, thought he did well for us.

    He scored a cracking goal at Yeovil in the 2-2 draw.
    And Huddersfield away

    Cameron Stewart has been a free agent for a year, that's a long time out of the game, surprised he didn't pick up a short-term contract somewhere

    Free transfer / free agent, magic lyric of the siren song to Duchatelet & Meire.

    Being out of the game for a season, will benefit from a proper preseason. Best of luck to Cameron Stewart on the trail.

    As I said earlier, even though Reeves is an ACM and Holmes is a winger, RD does not think that way. In his mind, if he spends money on offense, he feels he can sell someone else for a profit. And that is Holmes.

    Too bad. Because if we kept Holmes and added Reeves and I assume we will add Martin at keeper as well, plus the additions we have made... it would have been a really solid window.

    Now we will get gut punched just as we were getting close to success.

    "The 20 year old is known for his skills" right so they don't have a clue.

    So we have one person in the press hinting he is gone and another saying he is signing... on the same day. WTF.

    I see Cheltenham Town is getting Jon Flatt for another season from Wolves and it is expected to be their full-time keeper. So that adds a wrinkle to the Dillon Phillips situation.

    The thing is RD has never done that, he doesn't want or need an excuse.

    Ah. That could be a problem if true. You'd think staying in London could be a reason to stay over more cash in Sheffield. But Brentford and a few more quid could be an issue. If true, of course.

    This is from yesterday morning but it wasn't posted from what I've seen. The possible Brentford bid may complicate bids but I'd trust Ketts judgement on it anyway.

    That article says that under Pochettino, Bale became one of the best attackers in the world.

    Checking dates, Bale left Spurs in September 2013, Pochettino joined Spurs in May 2014

    The Sheffield Star carried a story suggesting Blades targets, Ryan Leonard and Ricky Holmes, would push for moves to Bramall Lane.

    Holmes was said to be particularly keen to sample Championship football, and was alleged to have rejected the new deal on offer at The Valley.‎

    Holmes returned for pre-season training on Monday and tieing him down to a new deal is high on Karl Robinson's priority list.

    The deal on offer is a good one, both in terms of money and length. The manager is confident that his charismatic winger will stay at The Valley.

    Am I the only one who thinks Holmes should go in order to play at a higher level at the twilight of his career?
    If he is unsettled here then it might be a good idea to maximise any transfer fee IN ORDER TO REINVEST IN THE TEAM ROLAND.

    Yes , we do not think on a personal level. He is a CAFC player not a friend so i would prefer he stays at Charlton obviously.

    I dont think there is much suggestion he is unsettled, if he was then it would be best to let him leave. I just hope he stays, if he doesn't it would be very hard to replace him.

    On a personal level yes, he should go and we as fans should thank him for showing us how good he is. He owes us nothing. He came and gave his all.

    As a fan. He needs to stay, get up with us and then play for us again in 2018/2019 (he could begin coaching training) as we get relegated again at the end of that season, he can stay for 19/20 then when we get promoted he can move up with us in a player/coaching role akin to JJ.

    Then in 20/21 he can become full time winger coach.

    :lol:
