A win win for us tomorrow. Charlton will loan him back for the season, but he’ll be benched in favour of a Bristol reserve who needs development.

They've signed T. Abraham on loan. Why would Charlton loan him back?

Is it really that much of a big deal? From what I’ve seen in here Mason is a world beater and McAllum was only playing as part of an intricate web of interconnected plots to get his value up so we could sell him, he shouldn’t be in the team if he’s loaned back, and we apparently get £3m anyway- sounds like no biggie to me

No they really have signed T. Abraham.

It’s Timmy Abraham, Tammy’s brother, on loan from Fulham

I’ve always thought Tommy was the better player.

I don't know all the details but I think it's fairly certain that Mccullum is going to Norwich and that the club has made sure we drove a hard bargain
Again, not sure of the details but if Sam is staying here on loan I'd see this as positive evidence that we've made the best of a difficult situation
Some have said that the loan back of Maddison didn't work at as well as hoped
But Dele Alli's loan back after his sale to Spurs worked brilliantly as MK got the money while Alli stayed to help them get promoted to the Championship before he left

Conflating the Maddison sale with his form that half of the season have got it wrong. We lost 11 games that half of the season - the teams form went down and Maddison’s form suffered with the team, not the sale.

That window we signed Hunt, Ramage, and Henderson to kick on with our ‘promotion push’. Sums it up really.

A loan-back deal is necessary for all parties involved. We keep a good player, Norwich have a promising young player continuing his development and we would don’t need to go through the hassle of signing someone new.

The 'fans' are the biggest issue in a loan back scenario. If he plays, every mistake will be criticised to the nth degree by some. "I thought he was supposed to be premier league quality" etc.

I thought it was a joke when I saw this online, but Tammy really does have a brother called Timmy who looks exactly like him and has just signed on loan for Bristol Rovers.

Because they're said lonely twats who like to pretend to be in the know on deadline day. If a blue tick tweeted they'd seen Messi ordering shots in DigBrew while wearing a sky blue top they'd be all over that.

Any of McCallum goes it'll be a shame but Mason is a good player and it's probably the position we can most afford to lose a player in.

Wouldn’t expect he’ll get a game while Bristol have their own U23s to develop.

I'd hope we'll make sure Herne Bay get something. Even £100k could be a game changer for them, and the offer would probably encourage similar clubs to let their players come to us as first choice.

First, we dont need anyone.

Second, pretty much all Mark Robins best deals have come under the radar

So it seems McCallum is off to Norwich, but will be loaned back, so net effect is ZERO to team, and £3m (prob in installments+addons) to finances.
Looks like Oxford are losing 2 star midfielders to Brentford.
Also looks like Sunderland's McGeady is off to Charlton.
Madddison seems to be leaving Peterborough, and there is talk of Toney leaving too.

If we can keep our team together, whilst our close rivals are losing their best players, then that's fine with me.

There was a guy on here who’s a City fan from Herne Bay and he said they wanted a friendly in pre season but we declined

At least we get compensated well, they got nothing

Yeah that's why I'd hope, now we have some cash, we show some honour. I know it's a forlorn hope, but it'd probably work out better for us in the long run if teams are more disposed to deal with us.
