    Not sure if anybody else picked up on this (if so sorry), but long-time Charlton target Adam Le Fondre today signed for Reading FC. A surprising move considering his apparant reluctance to move down South due to 'homesickness', as well as the strong rumoured interest from Sheffield Wednesday and ourselves. I wish him all the best, as we Charlton fans know too well, its not easy for a League Two player to make the leap up the leagues (incidentally our old pal Izale Mcleod is currently top scorer in League Two on 5 goals).

    Incredible - never, ever thought he'd move South - IMO, that's going to be a greater challenge for him than moving up two divisions.

    Less than £1m... moving to Reading... wonder if anyone spotted this earlier today... ;)


    Was he ever really a Charlton target? He's been a Wednesday target since year dot, but I don't remember much 'official' speculation about him signing for Charlton - just lots of fans wanting it to be true

    Maybe he took advise from Iain Dowie about moving??

    Tewkes is bang on with his assessment I reckon...

    Just read the fee was 350k and can't really blame him for going to reading as they are in the championship and we are not at the moment
