Fleetwood and Costly

As transfer rumours concerning Stuart Fleetwood intensify - his manager has told the local Forest Green press that the deal's done - Charlton are one of the posse of clubs linked to Honduran Carlos Costly.

If the Fleetwood rumour has strengthened to a 6/10, the Costly one must be back at 3/10. I can't imagine that Alan Pardew or any of the rest of the Valley management team have ever seen him play and there's only so much you can glean from You Tube. OK, so Poland's not as far as Honduras, but I'd still lay a bet he's a relative unknown to us. Not that having actually watched a player is necessarily a pre-requisite to signing one. Another 26 year old, his 11 goal tally for Poland's GKS Bechatow last year is hardly fearsome form. Wherever he ends up, the pun "Costly Miss" will surely haunt him throughout his career.

Meanwhile we await the arrival of a gladiatorial midfield general and some pace and crossing ability to ignite our strikeforce.
