    If McGeady is going to stay at Sunderland, why would he waive his contract extension which apparently was going to be activated when playing yesterday. 
    Presumably because they’ve told him they won’t extend on the same terms.
    By waiving, he’s effectively allowed them to offer a new contract on reduced terms.

    Because he is on somewhere between 1 and 1.5 million a year.

    Our highest paid player is on about 250k.

    Not a rumour but if Lincoln don’t go up I think we should go for Ward who is one of if not there best player. Lincoln to Charlton is some jump (if he doesn’t get championship interest)

    Lincoln don’t have a player called Ward?

    Not exactly a long term signing, but how many goals would McGeady create for Stockley or Chuks if you play him in the right position?
    Based on 19-20 zero for Chuks, he was so useless I questioned whether McGeady had a twin brother that they sent to us instead
    I think McGeady will be looking to move on and be looking for a top Championship club.
    That's like me looking to leave my wife for a Swedish supermodel 
    Hang on a minute. You're married?

    Had a nightmare here. Not too sure how I got muddled up. I meant Grant, their number 10.

    Jorge Grant would be perfect, ticks so many boxes.

    - First name makes him sound exotic, therefore he must be a skilful and exciting player.

    - Surname will feel like we’re bringing back a former player, perfect for those who like to suggest that sort of thing. It even covers multiple generations through Kim and Karlan.

    - Young enough to be an upcoming lower league player.

    - Lincoln finished above us so that guarantees he’s better than what we have.

    - He won promotion from this league with Luton, so that automatically makes him a proven experienced player for those concerned that squad could become too young.

    - He was born in Banbury, so we can claim he wanted a return south after spending most of his career in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.

    Unfortunately there’s no chance of it happening if Lincoln win their playoff final.

    Good point, let’s give Pratley another year. It’ll give us more time to find the right players.

    And even if they don't you'd surely expect there to be Championship interest.

    I think we've been used to soooo much drama at CAFC over the recent period, that this current level of peace and quiet does not feel right!

    I would like Walsh, Scully and Grant from Lincoln if they don't go up.  Would probably cost a few quid though.

    I would like Robert Atkinson from Oxford. Left footed centre back and only 22. Thought he has looked a very good defender and can play a bit as well.
    In League 1 team of the season so we would need to be quick and need a bit of luck to get him.

    An opinion that we should move for Jackson Irvine. Would be more than happy with this. Good player.

    Jamie Pollock? He’s 47, a former Palace player and now manager/chairman of Billingham Synthonia.

    Could probably do a job in the short term while JFC is injured?

    Weird that he didn't have a club between June and January.

    If Ronnie wants to go back to Denmark what about Kamaldeen Sulemana or Andreas Schjelderup?

    I honestly think you could attract top young talent from the Danish top flight to League 1, the same way Wolves took players from Porto in the championship.  They will see it as 2 seasons away from the Premiership or Bundesliga.
