Luke Young to stay

Luke Young is staying and has pledged himself to the club. Apparently, the signature of a new contract can be expected before long, so it's not just a case of waiting until the next transfer window. See the club web site:

Young

For some time Irons have been bragging that Young going to Upton Park is a done deal, no doubt now they will claim they didn't want him anyway (possibly the failed medical story could be part of that).

Luke has developed well as a player at Charlton, something that the old coaching team can take some credit for, and now the new coach has persuaded him to stay. So this is something to be pleased about and may damp down some of the moaning that has started up again.
