Transfer rumours !

Looks like he will be off then.

I've always liked George's endeavour and he's improved year on year but we are a business and if this deal is anything approaching a million in cash (rather than unrealistic add-ons) we should be looking at it carefully. That one pass when he came on in our opening game couldn't have been more timely from a fee negotiation perspective.

If it is a million then he'll be gone as we can't turn that down.

It does still mystify me why so many fans think he's not good enough? He's got better every year and will go on to be a very decent player.

It amazes me too Norpig, but I suppose that’s the thing about football. Opinions. It seems like whatever the actual deal is it’s been agreed by the club so I suppose it’s just now down to George and whether he feels the move is right for him but if it doubles or more his wages then I suppose he’d have to take it. I still hope he won’t go because for me he’s potentially the best player we’ve had in years and I’m sure will far exceed his current valuation very quickly but if the club feel they need the money now then so be it.

£1m for a League 1 reserve?

I'll start the car and drop him off, I could do with a mooch around Bristol.

I should add that I do rate him, but you can't turn down big bucks for a bench warmer.

Are you branching out with your “services” Natasha?

TeamTalk reporting that Charles is wanted by Watford and Stoke.

Stoke City and Watford are among a number of Championship clubs considering moves for Bolton Wanderers hitman Dion Charles, TEAMtalk understands.
Charles has established himself as one of the best strikers in the English Football League after impressing at Accrington Stanley and now Bolton. He scored 21 goals in all competitions for Bolton last season, with 16 of those strikes coming in League One.
Charles’ electric form helped Bolton reach the League One play-offs, and he added to his tally in the semi-final first leg against Barnsley. However, Bolton lost 2-1 to Barnsley over two legs.


Charles got off the mark for the new campaign with two goals in the 3-0 win over Cheltenham on Saturday. Amid his flurry of goals, it is no surprise that clubs higher up the football pyramid are keeping tabs on him.
Watford have made signing a new No.9 a top priority before the close of the summer transfer window and TEAMtalk has been told Charles features on their list of targets. But the Hornets are not the only side interested in the Northern Ireland international.


TEAMtalk understands Stoke are also admirers of Charles. Stoke boss Alex Neil is aiming to bring in a new striker after the sale of Jacob Brown to Luton Town and he views Charles as a perfect solution.
Bolton are keen to keep hold of Charles, who still has two years left to run on his contract with the club. However, they are bracing themselves for bids from the likes of Stoke and Watford as the interest in their star attacker ramps up.

I really hope your article is wrong Fin!

Please God no, we can't afford to let him go now!

The club would be foolish to sell, he's the only one who is likely to score more than 5 goals this season.

Evatt came out and said there was a price tag on everyone just the other day!

What does he know? He's the bloke who sold our best player for £500k and then spent it on Dan and Vic.

Lucky we signed Cameron Jerome.

If we lose Charles we will struggle to get in the playoffs with our bunch of misfit strikers.

If the rumours are true about a serious bid for Charles, then we will find out just how bad the financial state of the club really is, unless Evans has a impressive new striker on standby. ( unlikely)

Seems your trip to Bristol is off...

Good news!

Now we need the Charles story quashed.

For now. I doubt that’s the end of it

Yes, will Bristol comeback with a better offer?
