Charlton academy product Callum Harriott has been let go by Reading at the age of 25. He has had serious injury problems while he has been with the Royals: Reading exit
It has been suggested on social media that we take him back at any level, but I am more sceptical. He looks injury prone to me, although I know Charlton has a record of taking players who spend more time in the treatment room than they do even on the training pitch.
Callum Harriott is a player that Reading fans will love says Royals boss Jaap Stam as the former Addick is welcomed to the Madejski: Departure
Harriott has signed at the Madejski for an undisclosed fee. A somewhat mercurial player, Harriott has his fans and his detractors at The Valley, but we wish him well for the future and in the time honoured phrase say 'Thanks for all you tried to do.'
We wait to see if Ademola Lookman moves on, but he is probably being saved for a bigger fee.
Charlton are hoping to sign two new players before Saturday's clash with Bury. A mystery player was smuggled into Sparrows Lane this morning and is undergoing a medical prior to an announcement later today. The Addicks are also two thirds of the way to signing another player, according to manager Russell Slade: Late signings
Better late than never, and it looks as if Slade might have won his battle with the powers that be.
However, the price may be the departure of Jorge Teixeira and Callum Harriott: Two in, two out?
Slade has described the situation he inherited at Charlton as 'ridiculous' in terms of a lack of professional preparation for pre-season training: Unprofessional
