That's a classic piece of journalism albeit that it tells us nothing as to what really happened. I watch with interest to see if the bookies have us down as 2nd favourites for the drop come the end of August

French striker Andy Delort has agreed to join Charlton Athletic over a host of other clubs including La Liga champions Atletico Madrid, signing a five-year deal. The 22 year-old was top goalscorer in Ligue 2 last season with 24 goals in 36 games for Tours. After flying over to London and visiting Charlton's training ground, Delort decided to turn down Atletico Madrid, Premier League side Leicester and Leeds United in favour of a move to the Addicks. The fee is in the region of £2.5m and would represent a phenomenal coup for Charlton. It's also in the Express. www.express.co.uk/sport/football/495868/Charlton-set-to-beat-Leicester-Leeds-and-Southampton-to-2-4m-French-striker-Andy-Delort

Oh feck...we are becoming a serious football club. Yep. Thanks to RD, we're a serious club again for the first time since Pardew and Murray screwed up. Meanwhile over on another site, the bedwetters are still filling threads with titles sich as "Anyone else not feel as happy /buzzing for the new season to start as they think they should." I'm buzzing and really sorry I'm going to miss ther first three or four matches. Thanks for links to French fixtures , reams. We're all set up; we've got a house there and family, which is why we've been watching Nimes for 35 years and more!

Nimes losing 5 at home last season was unusual for them as they are normally quite strong at home but poor away.

I'm looking forward to a striker who actually goes past defenders and makes runs.

Andy Delort 9 @AndyDelort9 Tu sais l'argent du transfert j'aurais prix 0 euro Clément Moysan @clemoysan 2h @andydelort9 En tout cas good luck !!! tu as pris la bonne décision, une bonne saison en championship et à toi la Premier League l'année pro Andy Delort 9 @andydelort9 2h @clemoysan voilà mon ambition tu a tout compris Translated he says that the move isn't about money it's about ambition which he obviously has as a 22 year old. Someone has said to him that he the right decision as one good season in the Championship could lead to playing in the Premierhip next season. Delort replies by saying "That's my ambition, you understood everything". This has been jumped on elsewhere with references being made to Poyet but my limited French understands him to be saying that he wants to play in the Premier League with Charlton.

Interesting players picking us over other clubs.Roland knows more about the championship now it's hard to go up.

So with delort possibly now in, which of the 3 forwards would be playing and which 1 will be on the bench? Or will it be 3 up top, or 4321/4312? Good to have too much choice up front for once rather than not enough.

Tough call but competition for places is healthy.

My French is ok and that was my understanding of it too, Reams.

With three first choice strikers, we will have a game changer on the bench which is something we have been crying out for years. Feel positive for the forthcoming season.

Looks a good signing but what I would say is that I'm not going to put too much expectation on the team just yet as I think we'll get off to a slow start due to gelling etc.
At the same time 2 of our strikers cost around 2m each!!!

Strange one that Not really, after Ridsdale and Bates have had their fingerprints all over that club, Leeds are not rich, even after just pocketing £11m.
