I do not see Charlie going during this transfer window:

1. He's under contract for another 18 months and we don't have to sell our biggest asset to pay the tax man as we have had to do so often in years gone by.

2. Andrew Fitton, as far as I can tell, is not an idiot. Why flush the season down the toilet now when we can get just as much, if not more money for him in the summer?

You hear people saying, "Oooh, it's inevitable Charlie's going to go during the Window" and so on and it's just fucking bollocks. I can't see it happening.

That is all.

Oh yeah, just one more thing. I have a feeling (no sauces involved) that we're going to get Danny Ward in on loan for the rest of the season to play up front with Charlie. Write it down Wink

I don't think he's going just yet. Unless the silly bid comes in which it won't.

Sky Sports don't operate the transfer system... They just wish they did.

He'll sign a new contract, stay 'til the summer, then move on for a hefty fee that satisfies all parties.

I completely agree with your first two points, we really don't have to sell on this occasion and we all know it will potentially send us backwards if we do.  For that reason I'll be mighty pissed off if we do lose him this month, particularly if it means he goes somewhere to bench warm!

Your final point really doesn't sound as absurb as it might have done a couple of months ago.  I think most of us would love it to come true.  If there was any truth in the interest and we pulled our finger out it could also sway Charlie completely.  Everyone's a winner then  Cheesy

I'd love to be proved wrong but i think Charlie will be going this month- it's not always as easy as saying 'the club don't have to sell'....

It's nice to be in a situation where if a decent (well, decent on the level of a tranny porn addicted OAP) offer comes in we won't automatically be packing him up in a box and and asking the nice lady at the post office how many first class stamps we need. Don't need to be recorded love, standard delivery is fine. Fallon is still scared of enclosed spaces and cardboard.

Ultimately it will come down to Charlie himself. I can't really see Fitton telling him to stay put if he really wants to go. That would be a bad situation for everybody all round.

If everything in your post came true I'd be as happy as a pig in warm shit. And then some. I'm just worried it won't because you didn't "FACT!" it.  Sad

I'm only guessing of course, but I don't think Charlie is that desperate go right now. Things could change in the summer obviously.

I agree, despite the speculation i really can't see Austin going anywhere this month. I actually think he'll sign a new contract now and then possibly move on in the summer. Now if an offer of 2m+ comes in then it could get interesting, but i don't think anyone will risk that much just yet.

If it comes to that, we should negotiate a best price and sell him now, on condition that Charlie stays with us until the end of this season (i.e. on Loan), then everyone wins.

I hope you're right! Best case scenario for us imo.
