Tell me why?

I want to shoot no, possibly in bad taste.

To clear up the confusion we were signing Nigerian defender Monday James on Tuesday, but Sheffield Wednesday have offered him a better deal and expect to sign him on Thursday.

It’s now Friday and this still hasn’t happened? Disappointed.

Apologies for another mix up. I've heard on Saturday we'll be signing Sunday Mba.

Not your fault @Scoham, it’s typical Charlton. Same shit, different day.

The Leon Best rumour is on the back page of today's SLP. Apparently Bolton are our rivals for his signature.

I assume if it's in the SLP, then the rumour must have some degree of truth then.

Remember, it's not true unless it's in the SLP.

Charlton Athletic boss Karl Robinson has transfer plans – two strikers the target in January window

Karl Robinson wants to bring in two strikers in the January transfer window – a permanent move and also a loan deal.

Charlton are hugely reliant on Josh Magennis to lead their attack until the start of 2018, with the demands on the frontman made heavier by also fronting up for Northern Ireland.

Robinson loaned Nicky Ajose to Bury for the season while Lee Novak was able to complete a free transfer to Scunthorpe United. Tony Watt was allowed to make a permanent exit to Belgian side OH Leuven.

The Addicks boss has rejected rumours that Stevenage striker Matt Godden was at the club’s training ground on transfer deadline day. But he told the South London Press: “We will be bringing in strikers – we’ll probably try and bring in a loan and a permanent in January.

“There are times we’ll want to go two up front and you need to have that. A lot of things have happened and settled. Losing Novak late on was a bit of a blow to us.”

When pointed out that the shortage of experienced forwards is a concern to Addicks supporters, Robinson replied: “To us as well.

“People have short memories. People were very critical of Lee coming in and playing. But we wanted Lee to stay – we never wanted him to go. It was what he felt was best for him. He wanted a fresh challenge.

“It is what it is. We now know where we are and what we’ve got.

“What we can’t do is magic top players from anywhere when one of our players wants to go and try new things.

“If the club has been criticised over the years it has maybe been for being a little bit reactive to things – they have ended up with players who are on the periphery but they have spent a lot of money on. I’ve never been a manager to waste money. People are shocked at the amount I spent in my career at Milton Keynes. I do feel they have to be the right one.

“Mark Marshall, Billy Clarke, Ben Reeves, Jay Dasilva and Jake Forster-Caskey – only Clarke was a tiny fee.

“Some of the signings haven’t been perfect but I’ve always said your outlay has to be on the pitch. It can’t be sat in the stands – it’s a false economy.”

We want to bring in 2 strikers, but the loan will most likely replace Dodoo, so only 1 extra striker.

Considering its Dodoo I think it's two extra strikers

I'm looking forward to his departure, if only to stop the bloke in front of me repeatedly saying "doodoo" and guffawing every time, as if it were the first time he'd said it

Simon Church is available...

Charlton Athletic in full control over loan future of Bury striker Nicky Ajose

Charlton Athletic striker Nicky Ajose could face a full season out in the cold after being given the big freeze by Bury manager Lee Clark.

The forward joined the Shakers on a season-long loan before the League One campaign started but has not featured since the end of August.

The South London Press understands that Ajose has fallen out with Clark and that is the reason for his absence from their matchday squads.

He was even only an unused substitute in their recent EFL Trophy tie.

And there is no clause for Bury to break the agreement in January and send him back to South London.

The only way that will be possible is if Charlton decide they need the frontman back as an option or could find another taker in the transfer window.

The Addicks are light in that department following Lee Novak’s exit to Scunthorpe United but manager Karl Robinson wants to bring in two strikers in January – one on a permanent basis and also a loan until the end of the season.

We'll probably end up paying a loan fee to get Ajose back
