If the rumours are true and the bid was accepted on Thursday evening, there’s only been one working day between then and now. Give it until this upcoming Thursday/Friday I’d say.Valley11 said:Have a feeling this isn’t going to happen.
Probably the perpetual CAFC cycle of disappointment. But wouldn’t he have signed by now if he was up for it?
Feels like they’re fishing for other offers.
If he’s coming here I bet Peterborough will be desperate to try and drag out the paperwork past next weekend if they can as well.4 -
Wouldn’t surprise me if there is an agreement that he can’t play next weekend.Callumcafc said:

Yeah I would expect that a mystery injury will appear (causing meltdown on here) and then he'll magically be fine for training the following MondayLargeAddick said:

I really don't know, how longs a piece of string? 😂FishCostaFortune said:
Certainly sounds like we are front runners. Hopefully they can settle on terms sooner rather than later.MarcusH26 said:
Fergie Jr confirming fee agreed and it's down to personal terms
How many points do you think we’ve lost without Chuks?Braziliance said:Cheers for the effort @Twizzle despite how confusing it looks on the phone version of CL
Pretty much confirms to me which I've always thought, that the loss of Chuks is where it all went wrong. Such a bloody good player when avaliable, shame he's so injury prone.
I reckon we could be anywhere between 10-15 points better off, either just outside the play-offs barely or just about in them imo. I really rate Chuks and think he makes us look substantially better. If he had a bit more pace and not so injury prone, I think he could have played at a much higher level than this4 -
He already has a calf strain, apparently.fenaddick said:

Strange how players get little injuries when they want to move.redbuttle said:

Not in the least bit surprised. Running down his contract will give him far more options.

Been to training ground today one of my weekly visits.Spoke to some of back room staff and they said fee had been accepted but there a long way off from personal terms.I hope Charlton don’t do like they normally do and not give him the terms he wants.

Depends entirely on how few grand. I wouldnt want us taking a massive punt on him if it comes at the expense of being able to bring in better players than we currently have elsewhere on the pitch

Will be a meltdown if true
But IMO only so much the club can do, we offered the terms we thought appropriate and if he thinks he can get more money abroad thats down to him7 -
I genuinely thought that clubs are fully aware and have pretty much agreed personal terms in the background before agreeing the fee. Surely that’s the most sensible approach.4
-
I may be ploughing a lone furrow in this but I won’t be disappointed if we don’t get JCH (so long as we get a decent alternative). The JCH of a few seasons ago is one thing but his lack of suitors shouts “busted flush” to me and I have to say when I’ve seen him in the flesh I’ve never been overly impressed. Big name to appease the fans if you ask me but I think we could get better for the money if we look hard enough. Just my opinion.6

They can't win lol1

Shame but unsurprising. I doubt we can afford higher wages than Peterborough, and we are a lesser club in recent history.
I can't blame him - not many of us want to go to Charlton at the moment.3 -
Cawley hasnt confirmed or denied this latest news🤷♂️4
-
What would be better…
a) JCH on 10k a week
b) Humphrys on 5k a week
JCH’s goal record speaks for itself but I’d also be very happy with Humphrys as an alternative (if he’ll move south)1 -
I wish it was so simple. I don't think that just because we miss out on JCH, Humphry is gonna walk through the door1
-
If we're offering £10k a week and are still a long way off personal terms then to be honest I'd be worried about just how much he does want. No sense in killing our budget on him when we're short all over the pitchAFKABartram said:@Brown59 posted:

No way the club should push the boat out on wages for the bloke. It would create a whole knock on effect with other players demands6
-
Apparently he's on 6K a week at Peterborough ( Their highest paid player by far ) and isn't after much more in wages but he wants a three year contract and that's a big risk in my opinion.0
-
Could always give him decent basic
SIlly goals bonus
Bonus for keeping us up !
I'm not sure we're in a very strong bargaining position !0 -
I don't think it's necessarily all about money for players , I think we have become a basket case club , maybe some players do too , the regular sacking of managers does not inspire confidence, JCH may well be looking for stability in what could his last contract as a player in football
