Back Charlton then

Terminal Boardom Not bad for half a decent season. I hope he does well and I wish him luck.

Fantastic deal for us, couldn't agree more.

They have known he was off since January. I reckon we'll get stuffed Saturday and that will be the catalyst for some signings.

Hope not, I've lumped on Charlton and need some wedge.

brendywendy except pearce was holding mills' hand through most of those games, not t'other way round

Utter rubbish Mills was immense in the play-offs when it really mattered. We will miss him big time, probably more than Long. Defending will be our problem this year, not scoring goals.

The time is right for another pants day to show Sir Tigharse and his pathetic whipping boy Hammond that some money needs investing, otherwise we will end up relegated, if not this year, then next. £7m Siggy, £4m Mills and now £6m Long, you can't tell me the black hole was that much in 2 years. I'm n...

Are any of the muppet brigade planning on protesting in Shane Long's car park space?

What I learn't Saturday was Morrison must be an absolute cart horse if he's behind those 2 useless lumps in the pecking order. Perhaps I'm being harsh on Pearce as he did have some decent games last year, but then he had Mills next to him. I also learn't that Mills was a much better player than I ga...

Simon's Church Backing Charlton at 9/4 is looking even better value now

I'm ploughing into this bet big style.

this is frikken stupid... he should be our NO. 1 plain and simple , he's better than feds...not by a mile , but ENOUGH Agreed 100%, I don't think McDermott is strong enough to drop Federici and for some reason for goal keepers there seems to be this rule that Federici is the senior keeper and deser...

Nothing personally against him, but like others I think McCarthy is a better keeper. With a "huge deficit" to clear I was fully expecting the club to cash in on him this summer, but alas it looks like we'll just cash in on other assets instead.

If as Brian says we bring in a another CB and Sonko is signed effectively as the 4th CB, then I'm happy with this. If he's signed as Mills's replacement then we're going down.

If it's random potential names to throw into the mix, here's a few, bearing in mind I think we'd need a steady, consistent experienced defender to compliment Pearce and Morrison. Martin Taylor Emerson Boyce Matt Kilgallon Nyron Nosworthy Sean St Ledger St Ledger would be a quality signing, very goo...

Kebe is consistant, he has 5 good games a season and then lives off them.

LoyalRoyalFan Any more news on this?

Yep, confirmed by an insider at the club we put in a bid of £1000, but they wanted £5000 and our transfer budget won't stretch that far.

i think we will hold on to him the emotion he showed at the end of p.o final showed how much reading meant to him , moving would uprooting his baby and mrs , i think mcd cud improve him still as a player and if he stays we could have a very good push for promotion You are very naive my friend, what...

Coppinger is a great signig, as will Sharpe. I was hoping we'd replace Long and Kebe with them, but as usual we're being reactive in the transfer market. As for Ivar, he's a legend but alas his best days are way behind him and he'll be injured for 2 thirds of the season. The reception he gets at the...

But the thing always to remember is that players never move on and think they'll be on the bench. If they have the drive and determination to succeed as a professional footballer they believe that they're good enough to force their way into the first team and succeed wherever they go. So the idea o...

We needed a super human effort and a bit of luck to win that, unfortunately we got neither and actually made some individual errors leading to all goals. Basically it couldn't of got much worse in the first half!! Some players were well below recent standards, maybe it was the occasion but the likes...

ZacNaloen Don't sign for Celtic just because you'll get european football, it's a worse league, it won't improve you as a player and Lennon is a twat.

I think it's the right move as he's never a premiership striker. I agree it won't improve him though as it's actually a step down in standard most weeks.
