Laws throws his sandwiches out of pram as Bougherra set to sign
Looks like Brian Laws will be throwing some more sandwiches around tomorrow as his prized centre-half Madjid Bougherra will sign for us for in the morning for £2.5m. The 24-year old earnt a lot of plaudits whilst on loan at Crewe from French club FC Gueugnon a year ago and was signed by Sheffield Wednesday after last season ended for £250,000, quote a profit for the Yorkshire club.
However Laws is not a happy bunny: "He wanted to go, he begged to go. It put us in a difficult position. We could have made him see out his contract, but we had a value and we made Charlton pay that value if they wanted him that badly.Good luck to Madjid. I wished him all the best, but I think he's made the wrong choice. Charlton rather than Everton is a no-brainer."
Cue plate of frozen prawn sandwiches being lobbed across the room!
Madjid does seem a bit of a character and even has his own website, which has had the Charlton badge up on there since Friday.
Update Sunday evening: Bougherra signs. ¶ 13:23
