Jase on his way

We have reason to believe that a transfer deal for Jason Euell to move to Birmingham City will be concluded today or, at the latest, tomorrow. The fee will, however, be less than the £1.5m originally mooted but there will be considerable savings on his salary. Euell holds, of course, the record for the sum paid out for a Charlton player (£4.5m).

His departure is unlikely to engender the sadness, coupled with an acceptance of the inevitable, that has been the general response to Deano's departure. Deano's departure breaks a link between the club and the Warwick/Leamington area with his dad being seen at Brakes events.

JJ has been linked with Italian club Treviso, there are still hopes that Lisbie might find his level in the Championship and for Jeffers a vacancy is said to exist at a New Cross night club.
