So when CAFC got relegated in 06/07, it meant our whole squad (including baby Bent, Rommedahl, Luke Young, Diawara) weren't good enough for the Premier League?
Peterborough were 7th highest scorers in the league last season, while they conceded the second most goals. Their problems were in defence, not in attack.
Peterboro's biggest problem was that they began the season losing their first 7 games on the trot.
Just 1 draw in that 7 would have saved them from relegation. Averaging just a point a game in those first 7 matches would have seen them finish comfortably mid-table on 61 points.
Scoring 66 goals (more than Charlton!), they evidently they have some decent Champs standard players.

Charlton midfielder Florent Rouamba who has not played a game for the addicks since joining the club will sign for league one side Walsall in the summer

06 May 2013 19:45:01 The one player at Wolves that would improve the Addicks is Ebanks-Blake, currently injured and out of our price range anyway I would imagine.
As for Rouamba he was never intended as a signing for this season, it was always expected he would start next season. It's only two weeks since he had a permit, he's an international player of some potential if (and I do mean if) he goes off to Walsall it will be on loan preparing him for the Championship.

Has he? His aunt told me last week he'd trained with Millwall but was holding out as he was hoping Charlton came in for him. Might be wrong though. Will try and find out tomorrow.
What do we think of O'Hara? Couple of years back he would have been a great signing, injuries haven't helped and nor has Wolves downfall but there is still a decent player there if managed correctly
Think with his injury record and the fact that his club has just been relegated, he would certainly drop his wage demand. I would imagine he would still want 20k+ tho!
Money would mean he's not an option anyway, but I read (admittedly on Twitter) that along with Roger Johnson, O'Hara was one of the reasons why there was a divide in the Wolves dressing room. Doesn't seem like one Powell would be interested in anyway.

Or we offer to take him on loan and pay a fraction of his wages. Wolves might be keen to move him on regardless.

Got quite a good source at Millwall, said he'd signed. Might be a chance he was wrong though

This is the same O'Hara who mugged off the Wolves fans when they dared to tell him that a player on 40k a week taking a team down twice in two years isn't good enough. I'm not a big fan of giving the players stick but with the dross they've served up this season he shouldn't be giving it back. Don't fancy a player like him at our team. Smacks too much of the Pardew years, buying a reputation instead of a player who'll bleed for the shirt

GM .. you have hit the O'Hara nail right on the head .. a big head who somehow a lot of people rate but has done absolutely nothing so far to justify all the publicity .. he talks a good game .. in a word .. no thanks (that's 2 words)
From the match report vs Brighton... "Jamie O'Hara, constantly reminded by the Wolves supporters of his reputed £40,000 a week wages and booed by his own fans every time he touched the ball, has surely played his last game for the club. The former Spurs midfielder gestured in return and, when his team-mates shuffled awkwardly over to applaud the fans at the end of the game which sealed their relegation to League 1, marched down the tunnel without a backward glance"
For me, signing O'Hara would be like signing a vastly more expensive version of Stephens. O'Hara is a more dynamic player but is another one who is generally a bit mediocre apart from the odd flash of talent.
Regardless of his footballing ability, he simply does not seem like a 'Powell' player with his personality, commitment etc, let alone his ridiculous wages. Anyone in any doubt of Wolves' fans view of him take a look at this thread... http://www.molineuxmix.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=81201
Are these the same wolves fans that people were consistently slating and calling scummy only a couple of weeks ago?
Agree that O'Hara isn't a CP type player but lets not take wolves fans views as concrete evidence of what he's done there. I'm sure there are a lot of players that have let the fans down more with shite performances but O'Hara is the easiest to stick it on because he's earning PL wages.
From what I've seen of him, he's a talent. He was playing well in the Prem not too long ago and peope were confused as to why he wasn't still at Spurs. A couple of bad injurys have affected him but with a club that's on the up rather than down he could be a useful addiction.
Can't see him in a charlton shirt tho, due to money and he's not a CP type signing.
