Sheffield Wednesday have signed Morgan Fox for £700,000. Last summer they were prepared to offer £2mL Signing
The controversial left back made over 100 appearances for the Addicks. It's probably the best outcome for the player and the club.
Welcome to his replacement: Lewis Page . Career details: From Bishops Stortford
Elsewhere, Super Kevin Lisbie has signed for Whitehawk, aka *****hawk.
Charlton Athletic and Sheffield Wednesday have agreed a fee for Morgan Fox, but he is yet to agree personal terms with the Massives. Derby County also want him and may yet stage a ram raid.
How is that Fox is the scapegoat player of many Charlton fans and yet clubs pushing for promotion to the Premier League want him?
As other Addicks have commented, it's the Simom Francis story all over again. An underrated player gets the crowd on his back and loses confidence. Even so, I still think he needs to improve his game, but he could do that at a Championship club.
Sheffield Wednesday are reported to have renewed their interest in Morgan Fox. Many Addicks would no doubt say 'Good riddance!' He was booed off at his last Valley appearance.
He is certainly the current scapegoat player. Oddly enough, it was another left back, Paul Sturgess, who fulfilled that role in the mid-1990s.
My view of Fox is that when he is good, he is very good and when he is bad, he is very bad. He has some quality, but lacks consistency. Perhaps he could find that elsewhere.
A fee of around £1m seems possible as the Owls seek to boost their promotion hopes: Man in demand
Morgan Fox thinks that Russell Slade improved things for Charlton on and off the pitch and was surprised when he was sacked: Fox on Slade
I am now back from Orkney where the football season is reaching its end with the pending Parish Cup final confirming that this is the year of the underdog. Rendell, a scattered farming parish of 100, is in the final and likely to face last year's winner, Athletico Stromness.
Meanwhile, in the top league competition, the Orkney Cheese League, Isles United have zero points and have scored only eight goals
Back to face reality at The Valley and I can never recall a season I have approached with less enthusiasm, although the Sevenoaks Chronicle is trying to show some optimism: Deadliest frontline
Russell Slade is trying to fill the gaps in the team. It looks as if Bergdich is being offloaded to Rennes, while there have been rumours about Morgan Fox joining West Ham. He is a player that divides fans, although I think his problem is inconsistency: very good one minute, error prone the next.
