    I thought I was Sid James? Spreading his seed. I have joined another forum, CAFC picks. It would be rude not to give my insightful posts to as many people as possible.

    A question to Ponders, when are these players going to join?

    Diego isn't stupid.... he knows exactly the way the club is heading.... sadly so do most supporters ..... I can see RD being another Lee Joon-Seok and leaving the fans to pick up the pieces.

    Could be a handy squad player if cheap. Wouldn't want to pay more than a nominal fee for him though. Can't see him moving south, though.

    Talking about a real footballer, Wikipedia says Kermorgant was "capped" for Brittany last year while with Charlton. I don't remember anything about that, Does anyone else? I assume it was outside the League season?

    According to another forum O Grady was talking to the Club on Thursday, but the sticking point seems to be that he doesn't want to move South. Blackburn and Ipswich also interested.

    I think we all know that we will not get O Grady.... can't help feeling that the Club knew this as well but they probably felt that the rumour would keep the fans quiet for a while :(

    If there is competition for his services we'll lose out, that's what we do. We'll either end up with players no-one else wants, like Sordell and Church, or more Eurotrash. Hope I'm wrong.

    Yes - it was during pre-season last year. The club did mention it on the website just after it happened.

    Agree with this. Timing of the leak coincided with Katrien (who was on holiday) taking flak about Riga/Peeters/Hamer etc. it was a dirty New Labour spin trick. Had a look at the Barnley and Huddersfield boards and it is clear the boy doesn't want to move South based on what he has said in the past. I am 'guessing' that Charlton knows this.

    This week's news on the Charlton Grid:

    Diego Poyet announces on Twitter that he is leaving Charlton.
    Katrien responds by announcing CAFC in advanced talks to sign Cristiano Ronaldo <laugh>

    He'll go to Brighton.

    I hoped the club would stop this amateurish leaking after nearly every single UK transfer/loan target from late January on failed to materialise.

    Never used to happen on Curbs' watch. The first you'd know was when the player signed for us.

    Or Cory Gibbs... where not even Curbs knew he signed... think he just came out of nowhere wearing a Charlton training top once

    Just had a quick scan of the Charlton boards. You have got more chance of finding an ice cool pint of Stella in the Gobi Desert than any transfer news relating to us <wah>

    Anyone fancy starting a new puns thread, a thread about Ackers, or enticing a2c back ......

    Come come, don't upset SuperC, V-a-v!
    What about a thread for money-saving ideas for Roly? I put forward one idea, which was to employ a manager for 10 months each year, to save 2 months' wages in the summer. The position of Director of Football could be put out to tender. If they supply me with free bicycle clips I'd do it for nothing.

    Not much news of any sort anywhere, but the O'Grady signing seems to be in danger of falling through judging by what I just read on Charlton Life.
