Your rumours today

Charlton want to sign Spurs misfit Danny Murphy, claims the Daily Mirage. Well, I suppose that we do need a creative midfielder, but not this one, unless he has changed his attitude (and his wife as well, for that matter, although she no longer writes in The Times).

Various sources are reporting that Charlton are closing in on a £1.5m deal for MK Dons striker Izale McLeod -with Leicester also interested. The question is, why another striker unless Marcus Bent is off, which seems unlikely. It seems that Chris Dickson will be loaned out, possibly to Gillingham, to make him the finished article.

Middlesbrough and Manchester City are in the running for Charlton's £3m-rated defender Luke Young, preusmably with Aston Villa now having pulled out. We just take the best offer we can get.

The Daily Express reports that the Addicks will offload former Chelsea and Millwall midfielder Jody Morris who has now been implicated in the death of Princess Diana. That's not true, of course, but he is not ours to offload. But I for one will be relieved if he does not pull on the shirt.
