Julian Gray ?

edited November 2009 in General Charlton
Julian Gray has been released by Barnsley.He was on month to month contracts so he is a free agaent.

Before anyone points out that he is ex Palace etc.

I'm suggesting that in League One as an experienced left footed wide man he could offer the squad something different. Having played seven games for the Tykes he would be match fit.

    I think he is a good player, but depends on how we rate Holden's potential really. but i dont see why no harm signing him for a month and see how he gets on

    My initial view was the same as Henrey and Peanuts, mainly due to him appearing to be an utter prick with fading ability, but a left footed wideman available on a free drinking at last chance saloon might be worth a trial

    We were linked with him back in Curbs' days as I remember.

    Not as far as I know.

    As regards signing him, no. He's drifted from club to club over the last few years. Doubtless he's still got something to offer but I can't see that he's going to be the sort of player who'll be part of a team that is supposed to be pushing for promotion. A shame a few years ago I thought he was going to be a decent player, another who hasn't fulfilled their potential.

    We've worked of late trying to get the right characters in, lets not slip back into old habits so soon.

    From the 'School of Jerome Thomas' of wasted talent.

    He was certainly with us for a while. I remember seeing him hit the bar at training.

    Maybe he had a trial then?

    Curbs didn't want him so that is good enough for me.

    Think he scored in one friendly (at Peterboro possibly???) Had the feeling at the time that Curbishley was keen but the player wasn't. But that was then. He has also played quite a bit at left back so could offer further cover there. Bottom line is....money. If we can afford him, he completes the squad....if we can't, too bad.

    Keston is right.

    Know someone who knew his agent and we was close to signing on a couple of times near the end of Curbs / Dowie period

    Well remembered Keston...QPR away Aug 2003...scored in a 3-1 win (just found it in the CAFC book).

    No doubt the lad has a talent but he has not been a success anywhere to my knowledge. Not sure Charlton are in a position to take a gamble on another player who doesn`t have the attitude we need at the moment. Would rather go for a player who is hungry and keen to impress. God knows who though.

    Holden. Can't say if he is good enough but should be hungry for it.

    Forget Gray, let's sign Darren Purse.

    Exactly the type of player I mean Henry. I have never seen Holden so can`t comment on his ability but certainly I would prefer to see him given at least a chance ahead of the likes of Gray.

    Worth signing on a week to week deal IMO

    No thanks, as said you get the impression he's another Jerome Thomas, moving around from club to club, always gets another chance but rarely does anything.

    Didn't he want more money than we would pay?

    Leaving aside old prejudices, he would surely be a good acquisition for league 1.
    A guy with a very good left foot for no money.
    He would be playing for a contract.
