CAREY ON COURSE FOR BEST HAUL IN A SEASON

Can a free transfer be a bargain?

I’m not sure they can.

But, oh boy, Sonny Carey has had some start in a Charlton Athletic shirt.

You found plenty of Blackpool fans who were unruffled by his decision to make a move to the south Londoners at the start of July once his Bloomfield Road contract had expired.

If Carey liked being beside the seaside, he is lighting up this part of the capital.
