Murray to speak to CAST and Everton interested in Alex Willis

News from CARD today that they have called off Saturday's pre-match protest given Richard Murray's decision to answer questions from the leadership of the Charlton Athletic Supporters Trust (CAST). The news will also alleviate concerns of those over-sensitive Charlton fans who thought that a protest might somehow put off prospective buyers or that it might infuriate Roland Duchatelet to the extent that he continues to torture us even more than he has managed to do so far.

Richard Murray will be pleased but he will also know that he is going to have to put-up on Saturday because if we are none the wiser come Saturday night, the less sensitive Charlton fans among us are going to be rightly hacked-off and CARD are likely to up the ante.

On Tuesday night at the F A Youth Cup match, we spotted a bloke in an Everton coat watching the game from behind the visitors goal. He changed ends with us at half-time. News today that Everton may now be interested in taking youth scoring sensation Alex Willis when they conclude their deal for Esri Konsa. Damian Matthew is clearly earning his corn scouting for Everton in the south of England although you would think he might be getting out and about rather than just giving them an increasingly long list of Charlton targets. 

Roland Duchatelet resisted the temptation to sell Ademola Lookman to Everton too early and was rewarded six months later after he broke into the first team and began scoring when Everton were forced to pay £11m for him. Ordinarily you would expect him to reject any deal for Willis at this early stage in his career but if he's confident of selling the club anytime soon, he may just decide he's another asset to be sold at any price, like Ricky Holmes.
