Bowyer deal back on?

The long saga of Lee Bowyer's return to The Valley may finally be resolved this week if Newcastle can tie up a deal for Deportivo La Coruna striker Albert Luque. Charlton's £2.5m offer remains on the table and Alan Curbishley commented, 'Sometimes it just needs one transfer and then others follow on like dominoes.'

The return of the prodigal son has divided Charlton supporters with his attempt to dismantle a McDonalds not conferring on him the hero status that José Bové has received in France. From a purely footballing point view, some of the Addickted (sorry, morons) feel that we now have enough punch in our midfield, while others argue that he would give Charlton an edge they have often lacked.

My view is that if Bowyer does sign he should be treated like any other player and judged by his conduct on and off the pitch after he joins us.
