Lowdown on Lopez

Charlton have been linked with the Argentinian league's top scorer Lisandro Lopez. A £3.5m offer is said to be in prospect for the striker who has scored 11 goals in 17 games for Racing Club in the Apertura. (No, not Racing Club Warwick).

Our BA correspondent writes: 'He's supposed to be very good and promising. His team hasn't had such a good goaler [sic] since 1969.

Lopez

It is in Spanish and attempts to translate it on the web produced the following:

The title paragraph: 'I do not feel like goleador. In spite of being the maximum artilleryman of the match, Lisandro Lopez, in exclusive right with Olé, was self-critical like always: "I need sense of smell"'. Well at the New Den or Selhurst, maybe.

Another paragraph says: 'To what country you would like to go? Hopefully that if it occurs me, is in a pretty place and an equipment with possibility of being champion.' Doesn't sound like SE7 or Charlton.'

To try and clarify the situation, we have sent Lopez the following E mail (thanks to my Argentine colleague, Marcelo): 'Vas a venir a Charlton? Seras muy bienvenido'
