Addicks linked with Barry Robson

Burnley are trying to splash some of the cash they got from the sale of Andy Gray on a £750,000 bid for Dundee United captain Barry Robson, but the Scottish press are also linking Charlton with the 29-year old midfielder along with Ipswich.

Robson has spent his entire football career to date on his native heath, starting as a youngster at Rangers before a spell of over five years at Inverness Caledonian Thistle, followed by his move to Tayside. Wherever he moves he is unlike to find a club where the shirt colour matches his ginger hair as is the case with the Tangerines.

Dundee United have quite serious financial problems which are not helped by the fact that their owner's health is deteriorating. See Tangerines

Being an Arab (Dundee United fan) and an Addick, it would be a perfect transfer as he is a very good player and deserves to play at a higher level. Can be a little prone to diving at times, and is certainly passionate and seen his number of suspensions, but none the less a very good player who can play out left or in the middle. One of the best crossers of the ball in Scotland, and will score free kicks.

As for the finances, they're not actually that bad as we are well within our bank overdraft and have the salaries under control, and with a brilliant manager in charge we will finally be finishing in the top 6 of the league and are already in one semi-final.
