Marcus Bent is to make his move to Wigan permanent and it is believed that a fee of around £1m has been agreed. Bent (M) never really established himself at The Valley and his goal drought in the second half of the season at the Lactics is not untypical. We couldn't have afforded his wages anyway.
Not unsurprisingly, Osei Sankofa has been let go by the Addicks. The 23-year old will end almost a decade's association with the Addicks when his contract expires at the end of June, and he is now hunting for a new club for the first time since joining as a 14-year-old. Sankofa made his debut at Manchester United and made 19 starts for the club in six seasons, having his longest run when Luke Warm was injured.
Unfortunately, he never really looked as if he had enough quality. This means that we are reliant on Moutaoukil to fill the right back slot, unless a deal can be done over Greg Halford.
Tonight sees the annual dinner and presentations evening at Leamington and once again we will be the only Charlton blog covering this event. Former Coventry City ace Ben Mackey is out of contract and negotiations are ongoing to secure his signature with speculation that he may receive a three figure weekly pay packet.
