Bent Signs On

A big welcome to Charlton Athletic to striker Darren Bent, signed from Ipswich Town on Wednesday for an initial £2.5m, in what must have been one of the worst kept transfer 'secrets' in history. As most fans know we tried to sign him both last summer and in the January window, as confirmed here, but eventually Curbs has got his man. Good luck Darren and hopefully you can score the goals we so desperately need.

Richard Murray has told us to expect at least four more arrivals at The Valley this summer and one a week for the next few weeks. Don't know if this was a wise move as if we have not signed anyone by next Friday everyone will be very disappointed. I expect the next signing to be either Jagielka, Stead, Bowyer or Sidwell and if we ended up signing those four plus Bent I'd be really happy.
