Johnny Jackson

Also, on the subject of Charlton, I head Dennis Wise has already been lined up to replace Powell in the Summer. This was after about his second game in charge, so not a reactionary rumour.

Wise has been in the frame ever since his best mate Tony Jiminez took over the club on New Year's Eve. However, the latest rumour is that Jeff Vetere (currently head scout at Villa, and another member like Wise and Jiminez of the 'cockney mafia' that messed up Newcastle) will be coming in as Director of Football at some point this week, so if Powell is replaced I suspect it will more likely be by Vetere rather than Wise.

Don't know about the truth of the rumour but Johnny Jackson would be terrific signing for Brighton, just for the name alone

Out of his 13 goals this season, how many have actually been from the penalty spot?

League: 7 open play, 6 penalties... in 29 appearances (+1 sub)
FA Cup: 2 open play... in 5 appearances

How many pens have we missed this year? We'll arguably need those goals more next year than this...

I think that he is a good player who would be an assett but more importantly if Gus thinks that he can do it in The Championship who are we to argue.

Left mid and Left back are useful positions to have a squad player with our current line-up. If he plays CM too as I seem to remember then think he could replace Sparrow and Tanno in the squad next season for a single spot on the bench. Sparrow is often first midfielder to fill in if someone is injured/suspended and Tanno seems similar for full backs so could see Jackson getting alot of minutes.

UPDATE: Johnnie Jackson confirmed on Twitter earlier today that he still has another year left on his contract, so isn't a free agent in July like people thought. He has also told several Charlton fans in recent weeks that he has no interest in signing for Brighton, partly due to the length of commute from his Essex home (the reason he says he left Notts County after one season). Whether the latter is true or not, the contract situation means he will command a fee, and I imagine we'd want something like £500k, so you may find better/cheaper options elsewhere...

The man needs to man up. Does he want to play for a decent club or does he want to hold onto his Essex residence?

Hardly the spirit of Norman Tebbit now?

Hmmm, just about anywhere in Essex or Brighton ? Now that's a difficult choice.
