it seems he is a free agent as his BHA contract expired in 'summer 2019' .. he's been at QPR on loan ..could be he's shopping around for the best deal .. he's 32 and needs a good contract

Not a free agent as Brighton activated an extension clause in his contract keeping him at Brighton for another year until 2020. They did this to try and realise some value by selling him on. they offered him to Brentford as part of the Maupay deal, but Brentford declined. They would have needed to agree to cancel his contract yesterday to allow him to sign for us as a free agent.

Might well be happy to get his wages off their accounts though... Brighton and Charlton have long had good relations so could be a similar deal to the one we got with Williams last season

Needs to sign by midday if they want him to play tomorrow I think

If its a loan then the signing would have been done as needed to be completed by 7pm yesterday

If its a free transfer then yes the paperwork needs to have been completed by midday but just because it can be announced @ 8pm tonight doesnt mean to say the paperwork hadnt been completed in time

Not exactly............... they could have agreed to cancel his contract yesterday, which would then allow him to sign for us as a free agent. This is what I think has held everything up and I am confident that we have our man.

He's just said we're still confident it will happen.

Bowyer has just mentioned we missed out on one or two so dont think Hemed happened in time

Must be Toney and someone else.

Anyone know what Bowyer said about the Hemed deal ? 

What I believe has happened here (as I posted yesterday) is Brighton originally offered us both Kayal and Hemed as loans.
 As we only had one loan position available we were able to take Kayal on. Brighton then agreed to cancel Hemed's contract to allow him to sign perm for us as a free agent and I would suspect that the EFL are looking into the legality of such a move before we are given the green light to proceed with his signature.
 My mate from Brighton believes that they did everything right from their end.

could be the Colchester right back?

Maybe could be any of the names in the frame on here, Taylor from Bristol City, Nketiah, Lundstram from Sheff Utd to name but a few.

We can still appeal. We've got a 100% record when we appeal. 

Who else expects the FA to turn round and say it was frivolous?

Didn't someone on here have a friend at the EFL? Can they not get an update?

Surely someone at the EFL must travel by train. Who have we got at Waterloo that can keep an eye out?

It's the FA not the EFL.

Yeah or someone have a friend there?

Why would they know Dazzler?
