He doesn't want to leave. He is committed to being back, this is not a rumour this is as reported in the Belfast Telegraph after Norn Iron's last home game. 

Players are very good at getting those kind of messages out there.

"I didn't want to leave but the club got an offer they couldn't turn down"

There's a long way between "don't want to leave" and "I am definitely signing a new contract at a Champ club when Prem offers are right there".

Saying you don't want to leave also preserves loyalty bonuses and potentially other monetary benefits.

So dont get excited by "it's not a rumour". That's not quite the same thing as the reality of situations.

Not a fan of Ankersen by any means, but not sure this is on him. Wasn’t Charles during the Shields period ? (Although may still have been negotiated by Rasmus),

Trouble is in securing the young players from City and Chelsea, the sell on is part of the deal, and they probably won’t look at selling without. It also makes the deal more affordable for us, and ‘transfers’ some of the risk involved.

Probably a case that without the sell on clause, we don’t get to see the Lavias, Charles, and Livramentos in the first place. 

Jason Wilcox. Charles signed under Russell Martin first time round in the champ.

Anyone with kids will understand that when you say "we will see" you are really deflecting from the real answer, which is usually not the answer the child wants to hear.

Josh Mulligan, a 5’9” midget; no thanks.  Much rather have David Ozoh from Palace: younger, taller (over 6’) and better; he did well on loan at Derby last year and I doubt that Palace regard him as good enough for the EPL yet.  If Charles looks likely to leave we should get Ozoh.

Lionel Messi. Tiny. So shit.
