Been seeing a lot of rumours that we're announcing the signing of Rhodes for £5m this week. Seems unlikely on a lot of different levels- the price tag for one, then there's the fact that CMS didn't exactly set the Championship alight after making the step up (he's done well for us imo, just not as well as his 35-goal season in League 1 led us to expect).
Have you heard anything? [Edit- I'm now hearing that Will Hoskins would be sent to you as a makeweight, which makes it slightly more believable, but I'm still not convinced]
Perhaps more significantly for the whole division, really sorry to hear of Charlton's financial issues. Looks like they've got serious, serious problems, their financial backer has apparently pulled the plug and they've gone overnight from looking forward to life back in the Championship to not knowing how they're going to survive. From what I've been told, he baulked at how much it was going to cost to make Charlton competitive and decided he didn't want to pour his money in anymore.
