Young on offer at bargain price

Luke Young is now on offer at a bargain price of £2.7m according to The Independent (and other reports suggest a figure as low as £2.5m):

As far as Darren Bent was concerned, the club stuck out for its relatively high valuation, but then Bent was a hotter property and we are now nearing the start of the season so the 'everything must go' tags are coming out, although not on Marcus Bent.

The report claims that Pards is minded to spend some of the money obtained for Young on D J Campbell. I know that we are now becoming a club favouring players who have enjoyed a 'meteoric' rise from the non-league, but this particular player showed early signs of burnout in my view.

Talking of the non-league, don't forget we will be the only Charlton blog reporting on whether Leamington are able to win the Friendship Cup from Southam United for the third time in a row tomorrow night.

I'm concerned about these continued rumours about more strikers joining the club. It would seem to be one position where we now have plenty of cover. We need at least two central midfielders however.
