Sinclair, McLeod in, Walton out

Pards is set to make Dean Sinclair his latest summer capture after the ex-Barnet midfielder’s impressive trial spell at the club. The 22-year-old has done well since linking up with the Addicks, who took him on their pre-season training camp to Spain.

The Addicks are confident of hammering out a deal for Sinclair. His Barnet contract ended this summer but the League Two side are still entitled to compensation because Sinclair is under the age of 24. But Charlton expect to snap up the former Norwich trainee for around £100,000.

Normally reliable sources are reporting MK Dons striker Izale McLeod has his heart set on a move to the Addicks. Leicester and West Brom have also been linked with the 22-year-old, who hit 24 goals in League Two last season. But McLeod is hoping Pards brings him to The Valley. The former Derby man is expected to cost around £1.5million.

Unconfirmed reports suggesting that Simon Walton is on his way to QPR with the Super Hoops perhaps prepared to pay £250k. He has never appeared in a Charlton shirt in a competitive match and does not seem to have impressed Pards. Given his talent for getting sent off, he is no great loss.

Walton is obviously no great loss. Last season he was not considered superior to either Zheng Zhi or Song so he cannot be up to much as they were both poor
