    So we spent any money yet? Weird that they rushed to take over.

    So Southall's 'guess our next signing' competition... how many people answered '20 year old Matt Smith from Man City'...?! 😂
    Matt Smith's mum.
  • Cawley saying he don't think it will be Clark Harris in reply to someone's tweet
  • The Matt Smith photo was taken at 1.17pm today. I guess he was a back up to Bostock.
  •  I would be surprised if Vdyra went to any club today. Burnley made a statement much earlier saying no more coming or goings.   
    I agree but Burnley didn’t say that. They said unlikely

    Just seen his made his debut for Wales before he'd even made a senior club appearance!
    can't be bad can it?

    Yeah its the Welsh approach now

    Give them a comepitive cap before they're out of nappies to ensure they cant play for England

    Shall we just wait till we see him play in a charlton shirt? Say, 15 minutes?
    New around here?

    34 games last season in the Dutch top flight. Can’t be too bad.

    Hopefully Bowyer can do the same with him as with Gallagher.

    Oh please, the usual obsession with other clubs youth player being better nonsense, he could not even get in QPR’s side! Another waste when Charlton should be doing something with their kids not Man City’s 
    Do come off it. No-one can sensibly argue that Charlton fail to give youngsters their shot in the first team. 
    That’s not what I’m saying - I’m referencing the general obsession on getting new signings and the only ones Charlton seem to look at are other people’s future profit. He’s already not done much at QPR yet now it’s ok to ignore the youth who have been thrown in the deep end these past weeks. With senior players retuning surely it’s now you keep the Charlton youngsters involved?
    Youngsters from City are going to be a cut above our youngsters whether you accept that or not! Albie and the likes need to develop elsewhere and come back! Bowyer is obviously doing this for a reason! 
    Your still missing the point I could not give a hoot if they were, the point is he ain’t one of them and he does not belong to Charlton, so either way he’s a pointless signing who will essentially only Benefit City’s and his pockets. Your looking at bright shiny lights of city’s money and convincing yourself it must be better... 
    Read some shit the last few days, but this is well up there. We may as well never get any loans.

    And before or in case anyone says anything, no I had no idea about Smith signing.

    I am certain we have missed out on a few targets in this window, that was always going to happen. No Smith wouldn’t have been first choice but so be it.

    I have seen Smith in bits and pieces, mainly for Wales, but had no idea about him joining us.

    Anyway, good luck Matt. Go smash it and learn and develop from a lot of very good people at the club.

    At risk of a whoosh, thats bloody accurate?

    How do you know? If you're looking at file date, that's probably edit date for adding effects etc.

    Was Smith seriously on Bowyers list?
    No. As I said earlier, their list of 10 names has probably now stretched to 15 or 20. You dont get to 7pm on deadline day, sign a player that has hardly played all season & say it was one of your choices.

    The fact that he is registered with Man City means v little. Like Chelsea they hoover up players & sit on them. Worse case for them is that they sell them down the line for a million or 2. 

    Very underwhelmed

    Surely if we liked Smith enough to sign him we could have afforded to make it permanent. Would like us to develop and then be rewarded. It would feel like forward progress. As it is, looks like a rebuild in the summer.

    Of course you are! You were probably whelmed when Bauer scored in the 94th!

    As previously mentioned, if you had three hot girls all in your room looking to pleasure you and they all loved you, you would complain that one of them loved you more than the others.

    Unbelievable Jeff.

    He's had multiple caps for Wales so he must have made a fairly decent impression. And while he's "just" an academy product at City, that is a very good academy. I doubt he's the first choice but I'm quietly confident he's got to have something about him, even if he's just here as backup - backup is exactly what we need right now.

    Sadly Guardiola didn't fancy loaning us De Bruyne.
