Pards has revealed his determination to keep winger Jerome Thomas at Charlton. Manchester City and Birmingham are both being linked with the talented but sometimes sulky player.
But Addicks Pards believes that Thomas and Andy Reid, whose first season at Charlton was badly disrupted by injuries, have big parts to play as the club strives for promotion. 'I definitely want to keep Jerome Thomas here - he's got a key role to play,' said Pardew. 'He and Andy Reid are going to be real quality in this division. Andy played one game for me last season and was a massive miss in terms of trying to stay in the Premier League. That's more or less two years he's had out of the game and he's very motivated to do well."
Boro and Portsmouth are still chasing Luke Young with the club trying to hold out for its price tag of £4.5m.
But claims that fleet of foot Dennis Rommedahl is on the verge of joining Getafe are incorrect according to normally reliable sources. The Dane has been the subject of interest from French and Spanish sides, but appears to favour a switch to Holland. Presumably the flat surfaces will help him to develop his sprint time and he can practice crossing across the canals.
Charlton have been linked with a move for Norwich midfielder Youssef Safri, but reliable sources indicate that the Moroccan is not the midfielder that Pards is targetting. Could Mullins still be in the frame? I hope so.

Mullens could do the trick, unless there is a Kinsella type player hiding amongst the lower divisions. Marcus Bent will be on the move, unless he has taken a massive wage drop, which I guess he wouldn't as his night club antics might have to stop.
