    He’s going to be announced to the song Drive by the cars 
    Absolutely no chance he comes to us unfortunately, his market value is about £4.5 and he's got about 7 goals in 15 games with a 1 in 2 ration...we'll get Dykes with a ratio of 1 in 22!
    Offer 'em a tenner, they'll rip yer hand off...

    Can someone please explain the Roussillon situation? From memory he's played half a u21 game against Preston U21 on 2nd December and then 70 minutes against Ipswich U21 on 22nd December.

    He's 33 and last played for Guadeloupe in June!

    He was on the bench for 4 games and didn't play a single minute!

    Not featured in the match squad since Oxford!

    I presume we are paying him right?

    Now I understand he might not have been fit, but WHAT is the point of all of this when we have been crying out for a left-wingback throughout December!

    Now we are nearly half-way through the transfer window and unless something changes in the next couple of days we are going to have to deal with Apter or TC at left-wing back on Saturday.

    We need to win at least one of the next two games. At this rate it’s going to be difficult & should we struggle we’ll be in the bottom three. Not sure if we’ve got time on our hands to fix a few deadline loans.

    what the hell is a 'bagsman'? Is it the same as a 'kitman'?

    Someone that prolific will be an upgrade on some of our strikers.

    Probably some sort of derogatary term, not very funny if it is...🤷‍♂️
    What on earth are you waffling on about


    It’s a slang term been used for a few years to refer to a goalscorer. I don’t know why it was used in a news headline. I also don’t know why your brain jumped to it being derogatory.

    It means you have a particularly large and/or robust ball bag.

    Ball bags are a big deal for Gen Z - so it's quite the compliment.

    Ok, Ok, calm down, so I got it wrong, I thought it referred to a player not that prolific, and maybe more used to carrying the kit bags, that's all...bloomin 'eck man....🤷‍♂️

    I've still got PTSD over Cristian Bolanos and Alex.

    Reckon both would have been quality for us.

    Don’t matter if we had Haaland up top if the balls are not coming into the box we are not scoring … sort the main problem out ….

    Unsure if posted, is this a hint from the museum regarding to Dykes signing? Seems a strange time to post on the matter..

    Isn't there more leeway with the Championship in terms of being able to sign players that wouldn't usually qualify for a work permit?

    Yes, you get more ESC places. I do have a vague memory it may have shifted again but you definitely get more than in L1. At the moment only Dixon would take one (probably) and he's not even at the club

    Will now be gutted if Dykes signs because it means we are not getting the random Bosnian goal machine that i have in one day convinced myself is firing us to the premier league

    My Armenian mate Vartan who supports FC Noah said Bosnian, Nardin Mulahusejnovic is 27 and a big unit at 6ft 3in and puts himself about and enjoys hitting the CB's hard. Nardin's nickname is "The mad Mulah".

    Vartan said  FC Noah fans like Mulahusejnovic and started a "Give us a M" but by the time they got to the V, most fans had dropped out !

    I asked Vartan, would Nardin who has scored 4 in 14 for FC Noah be good enough for Charlton in the Championship and the Answer was NO AH !

    Bagsman refers to someone familiar with putting the ball "in the onion bag"

    Given our strikers over the last 30 years it's no wonder we haven't used the term that often
