News of a striker on the horizon

After the strange goings on of yesterday when Michael Smith moved to AFC Wimbledon on loan and No.2 goalkeeper David Button was sold to Brentford for an undisclosed fee, late tonight strong rumours are suggesting that Bolton’s Marvin Sordell could be close to joining the Addicks on a season-long loan.

The 22-year old striker from Pinner has openly struggled to adapt to life in the north-west after his big money move from Watford to the then Premier League Wanderers. He did make 26 appearances last season and scored 8 goals. He is also a regular England U21 and proudly played for Great Britain at The Olympics.

With all the talk having been about Church, Obika and Fuller, this move has come as a little bit of a shock, although fellow Blogger Valley Talk did just the other day select Sordell in a list of striking candidates.

It is abundantly clear that the moves of Smith and Button have given CP some wage wiggle room, although it has been said in some quarters that any fee received for Button has gone straight back to Spurs to pay of the outstanding debt.

If we can all be a little patient, maybe Powell has some other irons in the fire.
