Traditionally yes but they’re fairly similar to Edwards positions, if a tad more central. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Koumetio too and have those two plus Bell and Edwards as our left sided optionsLeuth said:3 -
Over 6 foot as well, so physicality added as well, think we're gong to recruit smartly5

You've surely won some sort of CL award for this contributionAddick Addict said:1 -
When he signed for Heracles two years ago.
”I am a centre defender. I can play on both sides and also can play some games as a left back.”

“I think he (NJ) knows very well that my main position is centre-back but he also saw me playing many games last season as a left-back or a wing-back,” said Mesik. “This could also be an option for him or the team."“We just have to see what the best position is for them to count on me. I think later in time we will see where I best fit."20

Well i saw PSV games three times last season and the standard in those certainly pissed all over the Championship. Overall probably similar I guess.Diebythesword said:I’m guessing the eredivise is a similar standard to the championship, bar two or three of the top clubs?
He played every game when his old club got dicked last season but then again almost every game when they were comfortably mid table the season before so clearly held his own in the league7 -
Waiting for the first "whelmed" comment...2

How long we giving it before his first injury then, Dartford or Gillingham?Callumcafc said:Slovakian left back. Started 63/68 games for Heracles over the last two seasons so seems dependable in terms of availability.Heracles did get relegated with only 19 points from 34 games last season.10 -
I love the look of this signing.
Young, hungry, ambitious, buying into Nathan's vision.
Tall, sees aggression as one of his assets, won't take any shit.
What is not to like3 -
Bet he was fun to work with for the Photographer...
Go on Ivan... Give us a nice big smile for the Camera lad
Errr... that'll do I suppose

I wonder if Linda Mesík would give me a lift to Maribor?16

30 games in the League last season, playing at Centre Half or Left Back. We don't need 3 left sided CB's, so with a bit of luck we can now move Gillesphey on

I like him because he looks like a miserable bastard. 😀23

He describes himself as aggressive and loves a tackle
Sichenje, Jones, Mesík as a back 3 could be pretty tasty12 -
Golfie will be coming on soon, complaining about his goal scoring record...Addick Addict said:12 -
Certainly doesn't look a shrinking violet.
Excellent.2 -

Got to be good news.I wonder in practice how long we have been watching him -as Rodwell says we have? 6 months, a year ?
I mention because I see this window as the first full one that is subject to the influence of Phil Chappell being back.10 -

Unknown Slovak 'butcher' in Almelo: Ivan Mesik takes hearts and balls
Ralph Blijlevens10 September 2024, 16:00Heracles Almelo sells Ivan Mesik to Charlton Athletic; defender signs for 4 years with London club
For the players of Heracles Almelo, the preparation for a season in the Kitchen Champion Division has begun. In this live blog we will keep you informed of all developments around the Almelo club.
Heracles sells Ivan Mesik to Charlton Athletic
Following in the footsteps of Brian De Keersmaecker, Ivan Mesik is also leaving for the English Championship. Heracles Almelo sells the 25-year-old Slovakian defender to Charlton Athletic FC.
Mesik has signed a contract for four seasons. Heracles receives a fee. As usual, no announcements will be made about the amount. The defender was still under contract with Heracles until mid-2028.

Together with teammate Lorenzo Milani, who did not make a convincing impression at Heralces. Mesik succeeded very well.
He played 71 games for Heracles and scored three goals. He also managed to select himself for the Slovakian selection.
Mesik was examined last weekend at the London club and completed all the formalities regarding his transfer on Monday. Charlon ended last season as the number 19 in the Championship.
Reaction Mesik:
In Heracles' press release, the departer says the following: "I am very happy with this step, but I also realize that I could not have made it without Heracles. In Almelo I had the best period of my career so far. I want to thank my teammates and the members of the staff for their help and the fact that I felt like a valued member of the selection from day one."
Mesik continues: "The support from the fans was also great, every game. Thanks to all those factors, I was able to grow as a person in the past two years and make the step I can now take as a footballer."
"Last season didn't go as expected, but I'm convinced that Heracles Almelo will return to the Eredivisie. Wherever the club belongs. Preferably in the new season. I crossed my fingers for that!"
Faber on Mesik:
Technical director Ernest Faber is full of praise for Mesik. "Ivan has always distinguished himself with his professionalism, mentality and full commitment to Heracles Almelo. This transfer is a great step in his career and an opportunity that he wanted to take advantage of."

Reads as if he will be the LB, could see Edwards copy Ramsay and becoming the left sided cb, would have all the attributes to do so1
