Stockley is Portsmouth target

Portsmouth are interested in Charlton target Jayden Stockley:: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/portsmouth-in-the-transfer-mix-for-charlton-loan-hit-jayden-stockley/ 

What I have been picking up is that Portsmouth are strapped for cash.  However, Preston have now given him permission to talk to Portsmouth.

A move to Portsmouth would be closer to his home town of Poole.   A transfer fee of £750,000, which is what Preston paid to Exeter, is expected.

Richard Cawley notes that he is attractive to most top end League One clubs.

No Crown Berger cup this year

Charlton fans have reacted with disappointment to the news that the annual fixture with Welling United at Park View Road which traditionally opens the pre-season is not happening this year.  The fixture was originally known as the Crown Berger Cup, although what happened to the cup is not known.

The fixture was convenient for locally based Charlton fans who have pointed out that Welling forms part of the Charlton family.

Cardiff release Williams

Cardiff City have released Jonny Williams after six months, but I don't think we should be inviting him back: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/cardiff-city-release-former-charlton-and-crystal-palace-midfielder-jonny-williams/

Reports are indicating that Nottingham Forest are considering releasing Lyle Taylor who made only 15 Championship appearances last season.   Barnsley, Blackpool and Middlesbrough are considering taking him on loan.

A straw poll of nearly 300 Charlton fans showed a clear majority against a return to The Valley.
