Signings in prospect

On my return from Canada this morning, I found that three possible signings were being widely discussed. Given our links with Colchester, it seems credible that we will sign Coatbridge born Scotsman Chris Iwelumo from the U's. Formerly with Stoke, he scored 18 goals for the Championship side last season.

We are also being linked with ace Crewe striker Luke Varney (no relation).

Chris Perry, out of favour at West Brom, has indicated that he would like to return to Charlton, but this would be a step backwards rather than forwards.
