The Final Chapter of the Sinclair Saga....

The rumour mill had been in overdrive a fortnight ago amid comments that Sinclair was on the verge of leaving The Valley, but with no comments from either Charlton or Chelsea on the status of Scott Sinclair, it went a bit quiet.....until today.

Charlton have confirmed that Scott Sinclair has left The Valley, after Alan Pardew took the decision not to extend his one month loan deal. Sinclair will remain in South London (I mean, give the young lad a break, he's moved 4 times this season so far....), moving on to try his fortunes at Selhurst Park for Crystal Palace where he will spend the remaining 6 or so games of the season.

After making just three substitute appearances for Charlton I can't really say that Sinclair set the world alight, although if he run fast enough it would probably give the false illusion that his feet are on fire with those appalling glowing orange boots.

On a more positive note, Leroy Lita will remain at The Valley until the end of the season, as he searches that illusive first goal. Lita has, in my humble opinion, looked very sharp in a red shirt. I can't say that I've agreed with how Pards has played him (I mean, come on, he is about 5 foot tall, so the long ball is not the right tactic) but after seeing him in action in the Premiership and now the Championship, I'm confident that he has the ability to score prolifically in both leagues - hopefully opening his account with a hat trick this weekend.
