Transfer targets

Fee done, terms next for James Carragher

Charlton Athletic and Wigan Athletic have settled on $4.2M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Transfer targets

Charlton Athletic baulk at the price for Calvin Ramsay

Liverpool wanted more than $1.4M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Market

Crewe Alexandra come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Charlton Athletic did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Boardroom

Charlton Athletic go back to the board over Deji Elerewe

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $310.0K — a club that wants Deji Elerewe enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Charlton Athletic bid $300.0K for Deji Elerewe

The offer went to Lincoln City this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Charlton Athletic

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets

Charlton Athletic rebuffed over Tosin Adarabioyo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Tottenham have kept their man, and Charlton Athletic go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

A bad afternoon for Charlton Athletic against Swansea City

0‑2 to Swansea City, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

One of our own: Joshua Hughes joins the Charlton Athletic first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Joshua Hughes is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
