Young Enough to Stay at Charlton!

It has been confirmed that Luke Young will be staying at Charlton after lengthy discusions with new manager Iain Dowie. This must be a huge blow to Alan Pardew as decent quality right backs have been moving in the last couple of weeks whilst Pards has been persistent with his man. I assume Glen Johnson would have been his plan B but last week he completed his transfer to rejoin Harry Redknapp down in Portsmouth. Plan C could possibly have been Germany's Robert Huth but he also completed a move away from Chelsea by agreeing terms with Middlesboro early in the transfer window. So who will Pardew now turn his attentions to? Danny Mills? Could be a worthy stop gap but will not have a long future ahead of him. So maybe Spector may get his chance earlier than expected unless we can pull off an coup overseas - I'm concerned we'll end up with another Scaloni.

*In other news, Pardew has made clear that any attempts to sign Marlon Harewood are futile as he is a hero at West Ham and is going nowhere.

**Now the World Cup is over (we'll just pretend that's the case) I thought I'd design a new site banner. Pards is the main man these days and I think he deserves centre stage. :-)

***Apparently Wayne Rooney is appealing his red card vs Portugal. That in itself says to me that he did not intentionally stamp on Carvalho. I actually feel sorry for Rooney in this instance - he is a grade A arsehole at the best of times but I think this latest incident is a joke.
