I think we will get Maddison over the line

You were doing so well until you mentioned "15 goals and "Spongefoot!" in the same sentence I have now lost all respect for youBraziliance said:The assists are absolutely ridiculous, he is the reason Peterborough have this record of having insane strikers and selling them on, it's his service, watch some of his montages and it's clear right away, he could have made even spongefoot a 15 goal man. Worth every penny this window don't care if he's free in the summer
Maddison is a winger - not the second coming 0 -
Don't get the negativity around Idah, we create the least chances in the championship so we need a striker who can put them away. Currently we have Hemed who is half-fit and also looks a bit of a donkey on the ball, Taylor who is only just coming back from another injury, Bonne who is injured, and Davison who is not ready for championship football. Those who think Davison is a viable option are mad, yes he gives 100% but he doesn't look like the player who gets one chance and scores - I like the kid but he needs a loan spell in L1 or L2 to build his confidence. So that leaves us with 2 strikers who have had injuries this year and 1 who is an ancient artefact.
Idah is young, hungry, and can hopefully run with the ball at his feet. Taylor is also very good at getting assists and putting dangerous balls into the box so it would be nice to have a striker alongside him who can get on the end of it. Idah would be a good rotation option for Bonne so that they both get plenty of football and aren't risking injuries from overplaying. So far from what I've seen of Hemed, he is your standard old player at the end of his career who has lost it and I'll be surprised if he's still here next year - he's definitely not prolific.
Clearly we need a midfielder as well but that will inevitably happen before the end of the window.2 -
Adam Idah is a prospect and he cuts his teeth at teams like us.
Anways, hes scored more goals against Preston with his hat trick than 22 other players did over 2 games. Doesn't define him but has an eye for goal.
Hopefully he comes in and does well.

We've never replaced Karlan Grant.
Bowyer likes to play with a mobile hold up striker (Taylor) and another pacy striker that works the channels.
He even picked up a winger and converted him to that role (Leko); and now signed Green, another winger, to see if he can be converted to do a striking job.
Watching Idah's performance in the Norwich v Preston game, you can see his movement, positioning, pace and eye for goal is something we've lacked since Karlan Grant was sold.
Idah fits in with Bowyer's game plan, that's plain to see.
And Bowyer likes to go for a wild card, someone who offers the unpredictable.28 -
His Wiki page says:
"Following Idah's hat trick for Norwich City against Preston North End on the 4th January 2020, Republic of Ireland Manager Mick McCarthy hinted that Idah may soon earn a full cap, commenting "He might have just got himself one", while working as a pundit for BT Sport's coverage of the match."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Idah
I see he's 19 in a couple of weeks. Certainly Mick McCarthy has noticed him.

@Valley27000 mentioned Idah early Jan as well as Vydra.

Id like 1 playmaker (maddison) and 1 box to box midfielder like pratley. 1 striker obvs if taylor goes.I think we have pace now if we can keep the tram fit, taylor, green, doughty (new signing), williams can get up the field.Field will fill a space if can keep fit.0

Wilder will tell Bryan to pick 'Uddersfield as the Charlton fans are likely to beat him up on a regular basis.5

Active means we have been putting out bids, which is accurate.ricky_otto said:

Well, Chris Parkes has probably had some paper work to complete.0

Grant had how many games before he looked the part ?BR7_addick said:
I do like Bonne, I think he gets a lot of praise for his endeavour and passion, and we warm to it because of his quick rise up the ranks.soapboxsam said:
Don't you think Taylor and Bonne would be a great partnership if they ever get game time together ? 45 minutes so far.BR7_addick said:
Agree, him and Lyle up top would cause havoc.CharltonByBlood said:Jordan Rhodes in advanced talks with Wigan.
Incredibly frustrating, would be a good signing for usBut he’s not on the level of Grant. Could be proven wrong if he gets further game time with Taylor, I think he’s a good option to have but I see him as our third choice forward in an ideal scenario. As harsh as that may sound with his record.
If Taylor leaves in this window Macaulay will be our number 1 striker.1 -

Adam Idah is expected to play for Norwich in the cup this weekend, so no deal until after the game

He’ll no doubt score another hat trick and alert another seventy five clubs to his availability.1

As I haven't heard that Maddison has signed for Birmingham, I expect Marcus to sign for Cafc as Lee Bowyer will get a handle on his character and who could be a better mentor than the "enfant terrible" himself. Bowyer won't let this one off the hook.0
-
I can't quite understand why Cawley has been allowed to release the information about Idah.
He's pretty tight with Bowyer and is often not 'allowed' to release names until after they've signed for obvious reasons (like Green).
It could be either...
a. he's already signed a deal with us (providing he get's through the Norwich cup match)
b. we're not really in for him and it's designed to give other strikers, who we are in for, a kick up the butt to sign quickly before we go elsewhere
c. other press were going to release the info and he's decided to get there before they did
I'm thinking 'c' but i'm hoping it's 'b'.4 -
I think B and mind games, that was my first instinct as he doesn't normally do rumours2
-
B - It's to give Gareth Bale the hurry up2
