Just had a look at the Charlton Athletic forum and they’re confident REG will be signing for them today, along with possibly another three players. Councidentally the first time I saw REG play for Town was at The Valley in December 2019 when Matty Daly scored the only goal of the game in additional time. REG played at right back and had a good game. Daly was another young player I had hopes for at Town that had to move down the ladder, just as I think REG needs to do. Is it a loan or permanent? REG has already done the business in league 1 with Rotherham and has a medal to prove it. Infact he's already got more medals than many get in their entire careers. He's shown he can do a job at this level but I suspect league 1 is more his territory.

Good window so far - have addressed a few of the most pressing areas - someone to do the midfield battling now that hog is 87 years old, a pacey CB who looks comfortable on the ball and proper centre forward options. The one key area for me, as others have alluded to today, is creativity in the centre of the park. We lack that someone who can dictate the pace of play, pick a pass, unlock defences and occasionally put their foot on the ball with comfort. We never replaced these abilities when Mooy left... No idea who it should be but to go from a very promising window to a really wonderful one, this is what I'd prioritise, It's a Town fan's right to demand someone like that every window even more so now as we've lost the right to demand a striker

REG gone to Charlton on a permanent deal (announced on their X feed) - a good move for all parties 👍

Certainly more business to be done yet. Atleast 1 more signing possibly 2. Expect PL loans. Good to hear. Talking to a town fan today who was talking about a midfielder from Brentford, he had no idea of the name though? Myles Peart-Harris, there was a thread on him I think

If REG is headed for Charlton, would that imply that Blackett-Taylor is headed in our direction? Off to Derby.

Good luck to REG. Hasn't quite worked out for him here. In my opinion everytime he's been asked (mostly out of position too) he's given it his all. Hope he can forge a good career. Did well at Rotherham

I don't get the REG hate really. He's not a championship quality player by any stretch, but is generally quite steady as a defensive midfielder when required. I think needs to be kept for depth for the rest of the season due to our lack of options in each of the positions he's played in. Need to go in the summer for the sake of his career though. He'll be absolutely fine in League 1 as he proved in his loan at Rotherham. He's been a good utility player for us, especially the way that Warnock utilised him. Can cover three positions, not a first teamer at this level but a useful squad player imo.

No idea who it should be but to go from a very promising window to a really wonderful one, this is what I'd prioritise, Yes & no. Carel Eiting & Jon Russell were arguably the sort of player you describe. Not as good as AM (obvs!) & Russell was only good briefly, but they were of that ilk. Either way, adding that sort of player now would be the top priority for me.

REG will probably be one of L1's better centre-backs, he's been that before while out on loan at Rotherham.
The Championship is possibly just a bit too difficult for him to ever give him a solid run of games to develop more.

I think everybody is like that unlike someone like Adama Diakhaby who was truly woeful and yet I still expect him to somehow find his way back here given our history of resigning past players whereas REG has been alright just never really good enough

REG is a decent defender although he lacks height for a central defender. My issue has been with managers sticking him in central midfield where he simply cannot cope because he doesn't have the ability on the ball. He just can't think quick enough and usually punts it hopefully forward with his fingers crossed

Reg was our modern day version of Tom Clarke
Could do an okay job in most positions, but his versatility is his downfall as he can't nail down a position to develop

Hate is a strong word I suppose, but I think he has been put under the microscope by fans a bit too much this season, and I've often found the assessments of him to be unfair. He'd typically get subbed on and give a solid but reserved performance in midfield, and the reaction would generally be along the lines of 'REG isn't even league 2 quality', which is ridiculous considering his achievements while out on loan, and there were also plenty of snide comments of the type that Scott High used to get. He's been a good servant to the club, has been played all over the shop with no questions asked, not always there technically but never through any lack of application. Warnock recently mentioned him in a podcast as one of his 'under the umbrella' players that he'd give special treatment in training, which I think says all that needs saying.

The Championship is possibly just a bit too difficult for him to ever give him a solid run of games to develop more. I think he played more at right back than centre back for Rotherham. Rotherham played three centre backs - he was always the middle or right-sided one. If he was ever really going to make it at Town, the latter would have been his likeliest position I'd say.

I don’t think Reg has never been a great prospect, he’s one of those who has been afforded more time at the club than they should due to the fact they came through the academy and the underinvestment of the previous owner (see Schofield, High). I hope the days of having players here who are blatantly not good enough are now gone and suspect they very much are under Kev.
Best of luck to REG as it’s a great move for him and I really do hope he forges a solid career in the lower leagues.

Cesare Casadei has been recalled from his loan at Leicester, he was one of Warnock’s targets I was going to say not a chance, he's been playing most weeks, but maybe he's not been playing enough for Chelsea. Only played the equivalent of 12 games. That being said, I'd still imagine he'd be playing for a club higher up in the division than us, if he's been to Reading then Leicester, if not trying for a bottom half Premier League loan.

Was Just about to say that. Casadei on Loan from Chelsea would be ridiculous.
Link with Chelsea and Matos already being here. Can definitely see this happening.

There is an equal chance of Messi coming as there is Casadei. He’s gone back into Chelsea squad. Only about 6 weeks ago I read the Italy manager was watching him and thinking of a first call up
