FMaddick Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 The press conference is to announce the 2 signings we have made that we couldn't announce until now (probably Bryan Hughes and Tahar El Karkouri) and perhaps announce any other signings.

bigguk Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Source http://www.skysports.com/skysports/article/0,,45-1141091,00.html <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> PSV Eindhoven winger Dennis Rommedahl is set to hold talks with Charlton Athletic over a possible move to The Premiership following Denmark's Euro 2004 exit. During this summer's prestigious tournament in Portugal The Addicks agreed a fee believed to be around €3 million with the Dutch outfit for the flyer's services. Unlike some players at Euro 2004, Rommedahl was focussed on his form for Denmark and wanted to give his all for his country before their interest ended. With Denmark now out of this summer's Championship, following their 3-0 defeat to Czech Republic, Rommedahl is now set to see what Charlton have to offer. "There has been a lot of talk about Charlton while Euro 2004 was going on, but I was concentrating on Denmark's games," said Rommedahl to BT. "Now I will travel over and have a look. What happens will happen. "As far as I am aware PSV and Charlton have agreed on a fee, but I need to discuss it with them first." <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMaddick Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 The Addicks will play in front of the cameras on seven occasions before Christmas - as many times as they were broadcast live during the whole of last season. That brings extra funds for the club and will also mean further exposure for a side looking to build on their seventh position of 2003/04. The Addicks have been awarded four home Monday night games, against Southampton, Blackburn Rovers and Fulham, and will also be shown live on Sunday, October 17th, against Newcastle United. The South London derby with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park is another Sunday fixture, while the high-profile trips to Liverpool and Manchester United will be shown on the Saturday pay-per-view slots in October and November respectively.

exchampionsfan Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Yeah, if Charlton do sign the 2 PSV lads then they'd be definitely worth a bet for the UEFA Cup and I could see them going on to win the Carling Cup. Next season will be crucial for you imo. 2 seasons ago Southampton had a great season, like Charlton did last season, but Southampton couldn't keep it up and so took backwards steps last year. I don't think this will happen to Charlton though as they seem to be a sensible club and Curbishley is quite a shrewd manager when it comes to transfers. What would you guys prefer, Scott Parker or Kezman and Rommedahl? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Rumours on F365: <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> GRAVESEN TO CHARLTON? Alan Curbishley has apparently set his sights on Everton midfielder Thomas Gravesen, after his bid to sign Danish teammate Dennis Rommedahl stalled. Gravesen refuses to sign an extension at Everton unless the club makes some big-money signings - which appears highly unlikely at this stage. Atletico Madrid are also keen on the Dane, who was outstanding at Euro 2004, but Premiership football is still his main aim. Charlton will also make a cheeky bid for Aston Villa striker Darius Vassell after learning that Villa might be ready to sell him. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jeff Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 IIRC, we had an official thread last year that lasted about three days before it sunk away but hopefully this year's version is more successful. Really looking forward to the coming year. Amazing how having some money to spend makes the summers so much more interesting, eh? If we can finally get a proven goal scorer, I think we've got the chance to be a legitimate Europe threat again this year... Ridiculous rumour du jour <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Charlton Athletic are chasing Aston Villa striker Darius Vassell. The Mirror says Charlton boss Alan Curbishley is plotting a cut-price offer for England international Vassell.

FMaddick Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 I started the last official thread when I had just joined the board but now I know what it's all about I must say I'm confused by all the stuff about today, where are the '2 signings I can only announce on July 1st' The official website is carrying the story saying we've signed Hughes so I know that's true, but where's anything about El-Karkouri who we all assume is the 2nd transfer?

"But we've been linked with lots of players and that's the way it is at the moment, there's not much business being done and newspapers have to write about something. He added: "I want to bring another two to three players in for sure. We know who they are, it's just a question of trying to get it done before the window closes. "We've signed three players already, one you know about - the Danish number two goalkeeper Stephan Andersen - and we've signed two others that can't be announced until July 1st. "There aren't too many clubs with substantial finds to spend in the transfer market so we're in a good position. "It's very quiet at the moment, but once Euro 2004 is out of the way I think it will pick up." The Charlton manager is taking advantage of the slow transfer market by spending this week in Portugal for the European Championships. But the boss insists he's just taking a busman's holiday. "I'm not going there to window shop," said Alan. "I'm just going to get a feel for the tournament. "I'm going to watch countries I've never seen before. I'm just going for a week to enjoy it, as opposed to working." <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRob Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Yeah actually, if Kezman comes I doubt we'll go for Earnshaw.

Di Canio began his career with the Bianconelesti and is fervent supporter of the club.

Possible new Lazio coach Andrea Agostinelli has admitted he would like to bring di Canio back to the club and Lazio president Ugo Longo admitted they were keen on the skilful striker. "This is a possibility that we are investigating," said Longo. "I think that he has Lazio in his heart and that is what we need at the moment, in a club so confused and torn apart by financial problems." Any deal looks difficult as Di Canio only recently signed a one-year extension at The Valley, although he would be tempted by a return to his home-town club. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> Reports Sky Sports</pre> Don't see this happenning myself.
