Quite like that as if he does come he’ll need to hit the ground running.covered_end_junior said:Edun playing for the Blackburn under 21’s today.2 -
Didn’t know they won yesterday.
Ok - richest team in league 21 -

SO hope there is nothing in this & wonder whether he's happy to be at another club as opposed to the same one as his brother, Billy.

Injured before he even joined us… impressive31 -
Getting slightly jittery regarding this one. It’s a loan and seems to be taking a very long time. I’d imagine there are a few clubs hoping to hijack this. Hopefully not though.0

My understanding was that the ground facilities were fine, but at the time of the visit some coaches had moved to bigger clubs leaving us short.T_C_E said:

Tbh I was really hoping we’d sign him but I’m hoping we move onto someone else if he’s not going to be fit, especially after Kane yesterday.blackpool72 said:0 - Sponsored links:

Jeez the injury curse spreads to rumours and close signings.14

Imagine he was all ready to join us and there's been a hold up on the Blackburn side of things and now he's got injured and won't play anywhere.mart77 said:
In an alternate universe he was playing 90 mins yesterday for us after initially being named on the bench, and being the one coming in for someone getting injured in a warmup!0 -
Is it? People always say these things take a couple of weeks. It’s like houses with a chain isn’t it? Needs the first move to happen before all the others in the chain can complete.ShootersHillGuru said:Getting slightly jittery regarding this one. It’s a loan and seems to be taking a very long time.

I heard he done his neck in, after his head was turned so quickly, with Charlton’s offer of first team football20

I had/have various paperwork as well as photos of the work that needs completing.Redrobo said:

These we’re passed on to people far cleverer than me, it mentions work that needs completing, names of those responsible for seeing it was done and those higher up the ladder it was reported to when the work wasn’t done.
Putting it on here to please lifers would get me in trouble with admin but I’m willing to show what I have in paperwork, text messages, emails etc in person to anyone that wants to meet me for a pint or come to my house for coffee.
Edited to add….. As to if this stopped cat one I dont know, but I was told two weeks before it was public knowledge “a certain persons **** up cost us again” that was the exact message I got. 🤷♂️3 -
Louis Reed who the ITK on here linked us with in the summer has signed for Mansfield on a permanent deal.

Depends on the context. Were these Blackburn Rovers fans there & so saw him injure himself or just assuming that he did because of the late change.mart77 said:

Yes very good point, TS has been much better than recent regimes of signing young players to deals before they even make a first team impression. It's not always been perfect, but hopefully prevents a Gomez or Konsa situation where we get small fees for top flight talent.Athletico Charlton said:Fanny Fanackapan said:There's a rumour I've been told that one of our very promising young 'uns , Zach Mitchell is on Millwall's radar.

One of our own.
What does "on Millwall's radar" mean?
As one of the better academy kids of a nearby club, with a brother at Millwall it would be weird if Mitchell was not very well known to Millwall.
He would have been before signing his first contract with us yet he resisted any temptation to leave then. Now they would have to pay where before that he would have been near enough free on EPPP rules.
For all TS faults he hasn't sold us down the river on our kids. Burstow the only one I can think of who was sold/not retained and we got a decent fee for him
I understand selling Burstow. He is clearly talented but very raw, and with him there was the risk that he would get overexposed and we wouldn't see an offer like that for him again. His second half showed that he wasn't ready to be a regular starter at League One level. Contrast that with Miles, who has massively progressed the more he has played this season.
Also, and most importantly, when you're in League One and you run at a loss of £4-6m/year, you are always going to need to sell players. In the Championship we might get to see those players for a little longer and get more money for them, but this is the way the game is now.2 -
Heard rumours we're in for Wilfried Zaha. I haven't really, but spread the rumour far enough and he'll probably feel his calf in their next warm-up

It wasn’t the latter Golfie, the lad (Yorkshire Rich Cawley/ Lancashire Telegraph reporter) saw him pull up. That’s not to say Edun didn’t want to risk a move being called off after feeling a tweak or feigning a “tweak”. He’s low down on Blackburn’s player roster even though they’re short at lb, and tbh I don’t think the player or Charlton register enough for their reporters to be making up stories.golfaddick said:

A fact we've been aware of for the past few months.....1 -
I still think we’ll get in a PL loan striker in. Edun looks less likely now I think so another left back. The PL striker loanee and at least one more.1
-
If we're going to stick to a 433 I'd have thought we're more vulnerable on the wings. CBT can't manage much more than 90m per week, JRS can't play every minute either. The second either of them go down we are forced to convert to a back 5 or bring on the likes of Payne (out of position) or Campbell (not consistently good enough). Leaburn and Bonne should be fine as our two strikers but I'd rather see a Jack Marriott type come in.0
-
I'd like to see us bring in a winger in terms of quality, but would require at least one of DJ or Kirk to leave.2
-
A left back, a striker & a winger if one of DJ &/or Kirk leave, would set us up nicely for the rest of the season i think1
-
We do need another striker but I think it’s unlikely a PL club will want to send us one when we have Leaburn and Bonne already here, they will want their player guaranteed minutes. Could maybe see it being an attacking player that can play across the front lineShootersHillGuru said:I still think we’ll get in a PL loan striker in.

Well he used to be ;-)PragueAddick said:
I very rarely get such tip-offs but my Fulham colleague in the Olympic Stadium Coalition Whats'Apped me an hour ago to say that we are "about to sign" him. I've pinged him back to ask if he knows whether its loan or perm, and what the take on him as a player is, and also if he can put to bed any talk that Sess might suffer a recall. My source is well connected to the club management (he's part of a Supporters Trust that is trusted by the Board).thenewbie said:
