    I still think it was a PR stunt...... after all O'Grady is not a network player!

    Oi you greedy Northern fecker, we do not have to pay proper wages playing for this club is all the reward you should require. Enjoy an unfulfilled career leaping from one **** Northern club to another.

    Ps if you sign then congratulations for not being any of the above.
    Pps most Northern clubs are not ****, quite a few of them are excellent places to play

    Yes hence my slightly tongue in cheek post, sorry about the potty mouth.

    The "Chris O'Grady signing" was the biggest smokescreen since the rumour that Peter Mandelson was spotted in Spearmint Rhino.

    "Wage demands"... Nothing new there, it wouldn't be the first time Charlton have failed to match market value....
    Don't know the figures, but I suspect O'Grady's agent is doing his best at overvaluing...

    Personally I don't see him as a player worth busting the budget for...

    I'm not too sad this deal has fallen through, after all the "Network" will save us...

    It would if Modesty Blaise and Willie Garvin were still running "The Network".

    Neither do I. As distractions go this wasn't very inspiring.

    Brighton probably don't want him, maybe he'll go to Millwall.

    Precisely, Poor judgement from some of our fans if they think this was some sort of propaganda to appease supporters...

    The only message this target sent out was, mediocrity, and just left me thinking & hoping that there must better targets ahead......

    I never believed it was a bit of propaganda, he is hardly a signing to make me froth at the mouth. He would be a better frontman than we currently have at the club and if we can improve the rest of the side he would have been good.

    It was PR in so far as the club were saying "look we are trying to bring in players with Championship experience and not just Network Douche players"

    Like most people on here I would hope we could do better..... isn't O'Grady just an older version of what we hope Pistol Pete will become this season?

    The club have never said we wouldn't get Championship quality players, but those players appear to demand more cash, so the fact that Roley is very keen on keeping us in line with FFP, or possibly just tight, will be a major stumbling block in getting them signed up...
