Speculation links Charlton with Catalan defender

Charlton have been linked in unconfirmed reports with Reuben Sanchez who plays for Espanyol, the number two team in Barcelona.   The 25-year old Catalan is a right back but can also play on the right wing.

I wonder if this speculation has been started by his agent as multiple clubs across Europe are said to be interested.

Mitchell was on loan with the Pilgrims last season and was a fans' favourite.

Luton swoop for Kanu

Unconfirmed reports from various sources have stated that Luton Town have offered £750k for Daniel Kanu.

We would be mad as Hatters not to accept, although perhaps we should ask for a little more or at least a share of any later transfer fee.

Kanu had a great season with Walsall, but saddling up for the Championship would be a challenge.

Spectator finds new target

 


The Spectator has found a new target in its campaign against the 'Charltification' of football and it's none other than the Prince of Wales.  Unfortunately, Wills did not convert his time at Sparrows Lane into an Addicktion.

However, the magazine thinks that his support for Villa, and in particular the way in which he demonstrates it is undignified for an heir to the throne and calls him out as a 'centrist dad'.

I realise that the Speccie was founded in the 18th century, but it is now the 21st.

Congratulations to 'Last Ditch' Dykes on his 45 minutes for Scotland in their weekend international friendly.  The lure of the bagpipes may be such that he does not return to us.
