I thought there was talk of Man Utd being interested in Charles. Was that just paper talk?
I think the talk was they might be signing three midfielders : one for circa 80m, one for 40m and one for 20m

And the media basically had no idea who the 20m one would be. And I think only suggested Charles. I’d have thought Hackney is close to that - maybe a bit more

If I were there fans and came out from that with Fernandes as the top priced one, the Atalanta Brazilian the mid priced one and Shea Charles then I’d probably be disappointed. Smallest violin and all that. But given some of the linked names
 
Don't think he's good enough for United personally.

It’s a bit of a strange one as I think he is very good and has a high ceiling, but under Tonda I think it’s fair to say that Downes and Jander should be the starting pair. Seems weird PL teams would be targeting our third choice in a position. Hes definitely better overall than Downes imo, just not as good in the role Tonda plays Downes in
 
I can’t see Shea going to anyone he’s not getting first team football in honesty, or at the very least 2nd option. He just comes across as the type of player that notices he needs regular football, has the drive to go to the very top, but also very smart and sensible.

Leeds are a viable option or maybe is Rohl wants him badly then he might end up at Salzburg. They are clubs he can challenge at properly imo, United just seems like a mental option for him considering they have Mainoo / Ugarte & are about to sign Fernandes and potentially Anderson (or similar player). He’d be so down pecking order

I think Hackney might have to be the first domino to fall in the transfer window for Charles. The clubs linked with Hackney I can see being interested in Charles so when he goes to one of them then we might see some bids coming in for Charles from the other teams.
 
Jimmy-Jay Morgan joins West Brom for £4m. Interested to see how he gets on, was very highly thought of when he left us to join Chelsea if I remember correctly
