It looks like May has gone to Birmingham. Large hike on his wages. As Bob Dylan would say Money doesn’t talk it swears. From a journalist who not often wrong. Led to believe that Alfie May to Birmingham is done. A big blow to Huddersfield after they initially thought the striker was joining from Charlton. Guarantees goals in L1. #bcfc #cafc #htafc
Cawley reporting that May set to sign a three year deal with Birmingham. Apparently nearly double his salary at Charlton. Good news for May terrible news for us. Where are these attackers who were joining before May leaves. More lies.
Alfie May joining Birmingham on perm deal from Charlton. Will now likely be subjected to stick by Addicks fans but my understanding is he intended to fulfil contract he signed last summer & was effectively shown door by Nathan Jones. Big gamble selling L1 top scorer

Coventry striker Matty Godden has agreed a deal to join Charlton. Godden's medical was completed on Monday, with an annoucement to follow shortly. #CCFC#CAFC please log in to view this image

The stuff about Dobbo pulling out of the Hungary deal sounds feasible. No guarantee he'd rejoin us though.
Depends on the finances of course, but Dobson wasn’t being greedy. We know that Nathan Jones rates him as a player, so there must be a chance that we get him back.
Just to put things into context , there’s a Twitter poll with quite a large sample asking fans whether they agree or disagree with the sake of Alfie May 48% agree 52% disagree Does that make the 52% “moaners” My gut feeling about the Alfie May sale is one of weary disappointment.. Proper, long term fans have been here so many times with shi tty Charlton owners. It’s no coincidence that the most vocal supporting the May sale also vocally supported “Richard”, Duchatelet, ESI & Sandgaard. They can’t see the wood for the trees - zero intellectual or emotional bandwidth.
We said we needed experience & match toughness, and by signing the Millwall defender, Berry & now Godden we have definitely strengthened in that department. We need pace, width and midfield creativity now.
What you need more than anything is a goalscorer. May and Blackett'Taylor scored 31 of your 64 league goals between them. Godden isn't the answer - he's only scored 1 goal in his last 29 games (guess who that was aginst)
