'A right handful' - What Charlton Athletic fans are saying after bid for Bristol Rovers star

Charlton Athletic fans have backed the club's bid for Jonson Clarke-Harris.

The Addicks have submitted a bid of around £1m plus add-ons for the Bristol Rovers star after interest from other Championship clubs.

Yet with question marks over the future of Charlton star Lyle Taylor, fans are keen to see Clarke-Harris arrive from the Gas, as long as he is not a replacement for their current striker.

Ryan: Don't know a lot about Clarke-Harris except from the penalty miss against us, but he has pretty decent stats from the last two seasons. Let's hope we can actually get it over the line and it's not a replacement for Taylor.

Jon Campbell: Watched him at Coventry numerous times before his move to Bristol Rovers and has had one decent season.. League One standard should be looking elsewhere!

Ash: Would be happy with this signing.

Ben: I hope that signing Jonson Clarke-Harris (if it happens) is to play with Lyle Taylor and not replace him.

Toon Addick: Considering we have been linked with Clarke-Harris for ages, I assume we have been waiting for the price to come down. The fact we have bid suggests it has.

Henry Irving: Hopefully wants to join Tom Lockyer in London and in the Championship.

W9L: All of a sudden we’ve gone from linked to loan young PL strikers who won’t cost us a lot to within 2 days of the window closing submitting bids in the £1m+ region.

Nico Bryan: Like him - would be a nice addition and backup to Taylor and Bonne.

Ryan Mason: Smells of Lyle leaving. Don’t let Taylor leave in this window!

Martin: Knew Bowyer would go back for Clarke Harris. He was a right handful last season.
