Signing number two. As anticipated 6ft 5 centre-back Billy Koumetio has signed for the Addicks from Dundee for an undisclosed fee, thought to be in the region of £500,000.
The 23-year old was born in Lyon, France but moved to England when he was 15 and came up through Liverpool’s academy. He signed for Dundee 2 years ago.

This is Chambers fourth loan move from Liverpool, where he’s been since the age of 6.

The squad is decimated and is running on the fumes and the left side of defence has to be addressed this week.

Firstly, what a tremendous win for our U18’s at Liverpool in the FA Youth Cup, secondly I’ve just seen that our Chelsea FA Cup game will be played at 8pm on a Saturday night.

Ronnie Schwartz has an enviable record and Liam Millar comes with a good pedigree and desperately needed pace.
Despite it being no surprise to any Addick, confirmation of Joe Gomez’s transfer to Liverpool today has left me with an air of despondency. This has not been helped by the apparent readiness with which Ben Roberts is talking to Brighton about moving there as their goalkeeping coach, after Katrien Meire gave the parties permission.
Despite the fee being typically undisclosed by Charlton (Liverpool historically have been happy to announce fees) all of the media outlets are stating that Gomez signed for £3.5m on a 5-year deal. Meanwhile those in the club have attempted to squash that and say it is higher. Whatever it is, Charlton fans will want to see all of the sale money redistributed back into the squad and not Roland Duchatelet’s network.

Various outlets including the Guardian, Telegraph and the Liverpool Echo are predicting that Liverpool will make Joe Gomez their latest summer signing this week. The price mentioned, which I think originated in the Echo, is a paltry £3.5m, with further performance-related add-ons.
