Röhl says there'll be a decision on Pierce Charles and if a potential loan move is what will happen in the next week. 

I know you're from Barnsley but is there any need to butcher the English language any further.

Hayden rather than Coventry it might seem then. Toon recalled Hayden and loaning him back out. 
I think I’d prefer Hayden but don’t know too much about either in all honesty.

 

Hayden was quality but he’s not been able to shake off injuries. A typical Wednesday signing. Can only assume Coventry didn’t want to leave London

I know we ended up with Hendricks because the Hayden deal fell through but are we sure it's us that's back in for him?

Pigs, Blackburn, and Preston have all made official enquiries. 

We can have two players aged over 23 from the same club.

Seems the Coventry deal didn’t fall through because of money. Game time guarantees more of an issue. 
 

He's joining Charlton on a free, who would we be guaranteeing game time to? the player?

Charlton have a right bargain then and he'll walk straight into their team (might put Bakinson out, though)

If he'd have come here he might have seen himself behind Vaulks, Momo, and Byers. 

But at least DR will have been honest with him.

Surely he would've been on front of Byers? Especially with Rohl playing the high press game that Byers seems to be struggling with a tad?

At least we have manager who has an eye for the players he wants for the type of tactics he's employing.

Yet there was talk of Byers leaving, (briefly), before the player nixed it. Coventry can't have had much self belief here if competition is the reason.

According to " stalk " it was because we could not agree a sell on fee percentage . West Ham wanted 50%

Same initials as a failed manager though, it would have been doomed.

Never worry about a player that never joins

Never worry about a player that leaves 

Carry Conk?

Alan Nixon is suggesting that talks between us and Derby have taken place in relation to Michael Smith going there way. But wages are the stumbling block. 

And not his ability to hit a barn door

Just the 24 goals for us in Div 3 last season  under Darren Mogadon not good enough?

I mean he only came to us for the money. Why else would you leave a team promoted to the Championship for one in League 1. Its certainly not ambition or testing yourself. 

Though he has looked well below Championship standard.

Sadly our signing of him was totally indicative of the short termism approach to recruitment. The money would have been better directed on someone younger and likely to make an impact higher up.

So he dropped a division to us for the money, but he's dropping a division to Derby because he's not championship standard?

OK...

Smith did a job for us last season. He helped us to promotion. 
Our current style of play, and his, don’t match. I’d let him go, allow him to play somewhere else and continue his career with a big thanks for what you did. 
 

Our style of play last season didn't suit him either.

OK...

And he will probably get the same wages either way.

I don't particularly have an issue with Smith, it's more it smacked of the short termism that pervaded the Club. 

Great, get out of League 1 then scratch out arse and hope for the best in the Championship
