Addicks go head to head with Spanners

Charlton are in competition with Millwall for Maidstone born free agent Danny Spiller. The midfielder has decided not to renew his contract at Gillingham and has been on the free transfer list for nearly two weeks. He held talks with Willie Donachie and the deal was expected to be completed in the last five days.

However, Spiller has baffingly refused to commit to the New Den, having reportedly been offered a trial by the Addicks.

The 22-year old player's career was blighted by an Achilles tendon injury which must help to put him in the frame at Sparrows Lane, allowing our medical staff to get to work. He made 12 appearances for the Gills last year, coming off the bench 15 times.

It's a long time since we've competed with Millwall for a player and I don't find this prospect very exciting.
