Another rumour has popped up… Word is that an unarmed Championship side is eyeing NZ international Callum McCowatt from Silkeborg. My mate — a season-ticket holder there — insists it’s Charlton. Knowing full well that I’m Charlton and part Kiwi, he could just be winding me up, so I’m treating this with a bucket‑sized pinch of salt.

Ffs, can't even afford to tool ourselves up let alone make a marquee signing

Interesting one. Right footed winger who seems to mostly play on the left or as a 10 so wouldn't seem to be the answer to our RW issues. Already has two assists in two games this season and looks like he loves a shot

Quality rOuma. Hope it's true and not just for some huOuma.

FM has him as 27 year old right footed left winger who can also play on the right wing or as a 10.

16 work rate big tick for NJ ✅ 

Contract expires December 2027 so they’re running out of time to get a decent fee for him.

Hard to know from a video but 6 mins of almost exclusively forward passes from single season has me excited. I’d challenge you create that using our current midfield, combined, across their entire careers.

I don’t think we need a fancy-dan trickster - we need a relentless pivot that can get the ball moving the right direction constantly.

I get what you're saying but not sure I agree. So many times last season the issue was a lack of guile, a lack of quality in the middle. This guy looks great at playing in front of Jones and Billy and I'm sure his bustling runs forward will create.
But I was really hoping we'd sign a 'quarter back' like Holsgrove. Someone who can put his foot on the ball, look for a run from Godden/Alli etc and play them in.

Ouma looks good and I hope we sign him. I think we also need a Holsgrove though.

I’d hope we let JRC go and sign both. If not Holsgrove then a similar type.

Turns out this signing players bollocks is well easy

As stats go that’s not half bad. Played a good chunk of minutes in the World Cup as well for New Zealand on the right wing.

His defensive contributions rating is much higher than other wingers, looks like a really hard worker

Maybe the TC replacement? Not needed now if he's not moving perhaps?

Got to be the way to go for us if we’re intending to mostly play wingers, gives us the players to either press high or track back into a 4-5-1 and sit deeper while still having threats on the counter.

Wiki has him down as a Left-Winger?

According to FutMob he’s an attacking midfielder/right winger. Played right wing for New Zealand at the World Cup

McCowatt valued at £2m give or take £500k so hope there’s still some dry powder left🤞

Be silly to get carried away from YouTube highlights. But that Ouma looks like he can cover Cov, Doc and the right wing slot at the same time.

Has anyone else made that link on here before? I may have missed it

Andy Scott is head of recruitment at Estoril..

That’s it then he’s guaranteed to be shit if Andy Scott thinks he’s ok. 

Everything alright? Making miserable comments all day 😂

Yes absolutely fine, will try harder to be more ecstatic about things tomorrow!😂

We’ll be knocked out the cup to a lower league team tomorrow, plenty to look forward to! 

Yeah, how about fuck off!! I’ve been plenty positive in the past also, I say it how I feel.Dont be a prick

AFKA was making a joke about Charlton not you. Not sure telling a mod to eff off is the smartest move either 

Have apologised however, at the time I meant fuck off, so said it and don’t care who it’s too mate if that’s how I feel. We aren’t at school.

Un-redemption 7 minutes later. Incredible stuff

appalling ill-Ouma.

He can play on the right, left and down the middle so wouldn’t be considered a TC replacement I would say. 

My only reservation on him being the targeted RW, is Jones mentioned about the one V one quality / trait is what they were looking for. 

Unsure he fits the bill in that regard?

Probably Jonah Lomu if it’s one of your rumours.

@Redrobo on Page 502

To be fair, Redrobo has been here since 2009, part of the furniture. Would be insane to throw it all away for a false transfer post.

I'm overdue my Friday night tug, I'm gonna whack this Oumas highlights reel on.

Watched all his highlights. Utterly convinced if we sign him we have a go at the play offs.

Jesus mate yesterday we was on the market and getting relegated! Highs and lows eh ?

Pardon my ignorance but why has everyone assumed this is happening ?

Came from Redrobo, one of the ITKs

I reject being an ITK.
I heard one about Alli and now this rumour.
I considered not saying anything, but was feeling like the rest of you and it was far too exciting not to share.

If you are a pessimist here is something to hold on to. It comes from a lady who lives abroad.

I think that’s fine as long as we keep TC so that we’ve got more than one player in the squad with that kind of threat

I was thinking about Campbell to Preston and decided if he wanted to go, we are better off selling him as it shows he has absolutely no ambition to improve. He needs to improve his game with us this season and get a better move as a result. He should sign a contract with us and go for this improvement. Failure to do so suggests he thinks he has gone as far as he can.
