Great signing.3

It's an OK signing, shame to see Coventry go but we need to be ruthless7

I don’t think there is any world where it is fair to talk about George Dobson and Scott Parker alongside each otherswords_alive said:So he's the new Conor Coady, a defensive midfielder, whereas we are still missing a George Dobson or Scott Parker replacement. Is that fair?9 -

He’s had nine total seasons at Championship level (others at Premier League and Serie A) so 4/9.thenewbie said:
On the other hand, hes thirty one and only managed 20+ games 4 times? That’s... not great.Callumcafc said:He’s played 20+ Championship games for a team in a season four times in his career. Each time, his team has finished in the top six.

Hola SWFC calling...
You've got a good player. A talented player who can and has played at a higher level. He was a good role model and seemed to be liked around the club the last two years in utterly dire circumstances. However we couldn't get him on the pitch due to fitness. Not a reliable signing but if/when he's on the pitch you will be happy with him.
All the best for the season you seem to have kicked on from last year in terms of squad depth and experience, beat the pigs for us.

I'm not knocking the signing especially for a year it makes sense. But we definitely cant be relying on him regularly.Callumcafc said:

Saw the news at roughly same time as my s/t arrived.
Bastard, not you Nathaniel.1 -
If he stays fit he could be a useful signing but that’s a big if . I hope he’s a success because that’s definitely a position that needed strengthening.0
-
Cheers @SWFChamish
Hopefully can stay fit. We needed more in this area so important he proves better to what we have3 -
Time will tell but recent injury record doesn’t fill me with much hope. Can’t see why it’s taken us this long to bring him in if he was always on the radar so I’m assuming we missed out on other targets and he’s option 7.4
-
Do we know why he couldn’t be formally named when he played in the friendlies?
Was it a club thing or some new rule?0 -

Great to ok in a minute, must be shit by now 😂😂Henry Irving said:It's an OK signing, shame to see Coventry go but we need to be ruthless1 -
Or maybe it was a case of him prooving his fitness over a period of time, and then probably some negotiation over the contract.LargeAddick said:Time will tell but recent injury record doesn’t fill me with much hope.

Good.
Just need the sexy, stockings and suspenders creative midfield signing and the lingerie, handcuffs and blindfold winger.3 -
As everybody says Nathaniel is no problem with quality, it’s availability.
Maybe we have to ‘manage the minutes’.
Welcome Nathaniel and kudos to @Callumcafc for spotting the slip of the tongue yesterday.1 -

Hopefully he’s more of a Danny Haynes than Reece Burke type that we can get the best out of and keep him fit.0
-
Quality signing IF he can stay fit. Couple more and we've had a decent window. Plenty of time left as well.0
-
Assuming we’ve had a long hard look and have had the medical team looking him over. Calculated gamble on a very good Championship player. I doubt he’s the only centre mid we’ll sign though or at least I hope not.4

Coady with legs.swords_alive said:So he's the new Conor Coady, a defensive midfielder, whereas we are still missing a George Dobson or Scott Parker replacement. Is that fair?
Bags of experience & looked miles better than our existing DM's in the PSF. Just need to keep him fit & he'll be great addition.4 -
A sensible length contract for Chalobah taking into account his injury issues elsewhere.Aneke and Burke spring to mind. Great when available but never fit for long enough. Hopefully Chalobah bucks that trend2
-
So we'll race out the gate at the start of games with him pulling the strings and going 1-0 up in 3 minutes, protecting that until he needs subbing to protect him, bringing on Coventry where we then concede 2?Southbank said:Excellent signing. He won't have to play 90 minutes every game. Imagine he will swap minutes with Coventry so hopefully we can keep him reasonably fit.0 -
Welcome to Charlton.0

Great player when fit.0
