Plenty of news has surfaced over the past 24 hours or so.
On the playing front, it has been reported that Southend are keen to take Nicky Ajose on loan.
Ajose has struggled at The Valley since his switch from Swindon in the summer, though Charlton have rarely played a system that suits him.
It is thought the Addicks are prepared to let the striker go – either permanently or on loan – but it would be a surprise if Roots Hall was his destination.
Ajose is one of the club’s top earners, and Charlton would want to free up most of his salary to fund a replacement. It seems doubtful that the Shrimpers could do that.
The South London Press has reported that Karl Robinson had the option of bringing either Tony Watt or Igor Vetokele back to The Valley this month, and opted for the Scotsman.
Watt scored just once during his stint at Hibernian, while Vetokele has failed to score in Belgium so far this season.
The Angolan has now joined Cristian Ceballos on loan at Sint-Truiden, another Roland Duchatelet owned club.
Midfielder, El-Hadji Ba, is back at The Valley following a trial at Dutch club, ADO Den Haag. Ba was not offered a deal in Holland, and the Addicks will be hoping to find another club for him before the transfer window closes next week.
Another midfielder, Anfernee Dijksteel, is reportedly attracting interest from Ajax and Everton. The 20-year-old was signed from the Nike academy in the summer on a 12-month-deal.
Though not yet in Robinson’s plans, the club are keen to tie Dijksteel down to a longer deal.
Charlton will show the match against AFC Wimbledon on 11 February in one of the Valley lounges.
The Addicks only received 650 tickets for the match at Kingsmeadow, and these were quickly snapped up.
Tickets for the beamback will initially be on restricted sale, but supply is likely to be sufficient to cope with demand.
It will be Charlton’s first competitive visit to Kingston, and the lure of a trip to a new ground will have sparked the interest of many fans.
The coaches for the game at Bolton on Saturday have now been filled. Fans will travel free of charge on these coaches.
The game against Bury at The Valley on 25 February will be another Football For A Fiver promotion.
The Addicks play seven games in February, so a reduced price game will be appreciated by many.
