TM - player has to agree terms as well otherwise there’s no deal.

Charlton makes sense. He’s still very raw so a Championship promotion/playoff hopeful is about as high as he could expect without losing all chance of getting on the pitch now and then. I do feel like with his playing style they’ll probably train the joy out of him and/or oppo defenses will work him out. Nothing against him that’s just football. If they can manage him carefully and end up with a polished version then that’d be good to see.

Why would we sell him for less than QpR and or Forest offered ?

I doubt Charlton would pay 850K

I don’t suppose we will ever know what the fee was or if it was better than the 850k we were offered before.

Apparently Charlton are up for sale for the 5th time in 6 years - “ In a sales deck sent to potential investors, which has been seen by the Guardian, Oakwell describes Charlton as “the last remaining football club upside opportunity in London”

Shame to see Nkeng go, but obviously he will do well financially out of it and we can’t afford to turn down a fee. Disappointing for him to be going to a club like Charlton but again I suppose that it all comes down to the money and who pays the most

Good luck Junior hope you go on to be a Rudoni rather than a Hamadi or a Pigott.

Well thats one million of the 2.4 million, kerching

Surely one of our keepers must be on their way.

Ta Repd

Hope got a decent wedge with a sell on clause

Keefy - confirmed on our OS - [Link]

Link not working Repd

Nkeng is gone - [Link]

Obviously going to be a great signing as he managed to get a yeah-no into his welcome interview.

Alan IoW - yeah, don't have a problem with getting in an 18 (?) year old considering we have two proper CBs, and he might end up being a revelation for us

Pretty sure Towler had some senior experience. We're clearly on a relegation budget. Gamble loans and fire sale for everyone else. But this is where we are. Getting a fee for Hackford is decent business, but I think we should expect to see a lot of Sasu this season unfortunately.

Repd, I remember having a young defender on loan to once, he was mustard for us

Anyone here in the North Cheam area? From one of our bedroom windows, we can see a huge column of black smoke rising west of the A24 (could it be the Merton Recycling Centre?).

Would have preferred somebody with a bit more experience, but at least we've got a CB in.

Pau Cubarsi just won the WC with Spain as the starting centre back at age 19. I’m sure Simmonds can hack it in L1 if he’s strong enough.

18 years old is very young but welcome Freddie!

Brighton have given this Freddie Simmonds bloke a 4 year contract so they obviously see something in him. One more to come? Gooch?
