450k and 650k are the figures mentioned. If he's to be the Bolingoli replacement and competition for Taylor can we not just go in and get it done quickly if that's the ball park?

{Ed007's Note - I don't know how much Charlton want exactly but it is "seven figures". Fulham bid £2 million + add ons in January and Luton bid around £750k + add ons earlier this month. Obviously with Doughty's contract situation and Charlton's relegation £2 million is a tad high now but I think a bid around the £1m - £1.5m mark with add ons and a sell on clause would be enough to get the deal done.}

But is the willingness there from celtic to get the deal done Lennon saying if we don't strengthen any more he will be happy ED007?

{Ed007's Note - I wouldn't expect anything else from Lennon but it's nothing to do with him.}

Surely Lennon will have a major say in players coming and going i know its a team decision but surely that if he wants a player or not will be final.

{Ed007's Note - Peter Lawwell and Nick Hammond decide who we sign and who we sell, it's no different from his previous tenure when it was Lawwell and John Park who made the decisions.}

Oh right I noticed Astu from Newcastle been told he can leave is that a possibility of a deal there?

{Ed007's Note - Yes.}

Neil Lennon does (and says) what he is told and that's the type of manager Lawell will always hire - unless DD intervenes.

{Ed007's Note - Spot on, CM 👍

Is the lad any good not trying to be funny I've just not seen any of him just wondering if anyone has?

Oh well i wouldve thought that would be that in terms of in comings ED with a LB maybe in would be good to see competition for Forrest let's see what happens cheers ED007.

{Ed007's Note - If we do actually manage to keep the squad we have - guys like Ntcham, Ajer & Edouard - and add another LB/LWB maybe another CB (Elhamed staying fit is still a big question imo) then I think it's been a great window for us.}

so we should all be pointing the finger at lawell if we don't get the title over the line.

{Ed007's Note - Yes.}

Ed, while I appreciate you can't speak for anyone else can you shed some light on why we would be going in with (supposedly) such low offers? If you're in the right ballpark then it'll be fairly common knowledge that low 7 figures would hit the spot. It just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe chance your arm with £750k or £800k to start but going in unreasonably low surely just sours the selling club's appetite to get the deal done.

{Ed007's Note - To be honest, Kev it's just what happens these days and although I moan like feck about Lawwell doing it all CEOs do the exact same.}

Or maybe Charlton feel that if they keep the kid and he gets them back up to the championship it will be worth more than what we’re offering! I have a go at lawell just as much as anyone and his arrogance pisses me rite off! But maybe he feels 750k for a guy none of us have actually seen play, who plays in league one, is a fair price! Especially if we can get his signature for nothing in 4 months.

Some people are talking through their hat . Our goalkeeper is certainly experienced.
Our centre half Shane Duffy regular EPL is not a project . Our striker is certainly not a project either . We have resigned a left sided attacker, who we had last season . Now our Board May be to blame for getting certain things wrong but signing projects isn’t one of them .
Despite our Ed telling us repeatedly that Lennon has nothing to do with transfers, some people want to put blame on Lennon .
Very few top Managers are involved in signings nowadays.

Yep agreed as far as Lenny having zero say about who we buy or sell i very much doubt that.
Who ever we buy he has to fit into our squad also the new signing Lenny can't stop praising them including klamilla Duffy our goalkeeper moi is that the sign of a manager who has no input.
Let's win our next two games we bit of pressure on them over the road.
