    So I guess he has signed a deal. Only a youngster hopefully we can develop him into something good

    Where's Scoham or WSS when you need them?

    I see he had a trial at QPR.

  • Nice. Our Fabregas.

    It's looks as if the new board brought him in a few months back. Probs the dealings of Jiminez

    Is that Macron white shirt he's wearing going to be next season's away strip?

    He's a centre midfielder, was very lightweight when I saw him at the beginning of the year but Powell was hoping to bulk him up a bit during preseason.

    All the players I've spoken to are really impressed with him and liken him to Fabregas.

    I think it's last season's training top Oggy.

    See all the people he is tweeting with too, Popo, Jenkinson, Connor Morris, retweeting Elliot about Fortune, looks like this kid has been here a while now.

    Why have we not really heard of him being at The Valley ?

    Perhaps he's the "A. Triallist" that plays every reserve game .....?

    How comes he doesn't have his own wiki page?

    If what Plaaayer says is true and he is good on the ball hopefully in a season or two he can develop into the creative playmaker we desperatley need. No pressure then ;-)

    How dare you doubt me :)

    He has played in quite a few reserve games, gets on very well with Semedo, Bessone and Llera who have helped him settle in. Has been training with Charlton since the beginning of the year.

    If he was the new Fabregas he wouldnt be signing for us.

    Oi misery guts! :0)

    I take it they meant he was a Fabregas type of player rather than he is the new Fabregas.

    I think he'd had a trial with a few clubs as well but was let go because of his size. I can't remember whether it was Peacock or Powell that said if the club manage to bulk him up then we've really got a player on our hands. Maybe even the new Fabregas ;0)

    Looked very good in the 5 a-side at training, great 1st touch and very good vision.

    I saw that on Twitter gilbert and thought it was a wind up but it does look legit in fairness.

    Let's hope Bessone signs then because I doubt his other Spanish speaking team-mates will be here although it looks like his English is very good. I'm not a twitterer but was he twittering Fabregas in amongst all those tweets ?

    Ruben Bover-Izqievdo. Came over with his parents to finish his studies and play for Kiddiminster Harriers. Got injured and ended up playing for Halesowen Town. Somehow spotted by QPR and invited for a trial, ended up with us.

    Your point is......?

    Footballers can be spotted from anywhere, look at Ian Wrights career, or half of the Brazilian squad

    I once spotted a footballer at The Valley, mind you it was a while ago now.

    Twitter post on 7 May:

    "FIRMADO"

    For the benefit of non-Spanish-speakers that means "signed". So he's either been watching the early morning documentaries adapted for the hearing-impaired or he's got a contract with us.

    He's also now back home on Mallorca until the 30 June and has been training and travelling with the squad for a while.

    Bugger me - did he play for the Harriers? I Shall do some digging and try to find out if he was any good.

    Ruben Bover's been around a while. He even joined in the lap of 'honour' after Hartlepool.

    They loved him at Halesowen Town and thought he was somthing special.

    Played mainly on the wing for them, I believe.

    Ruben Bover is very highly rated by the players who have seen him in action, they really rate him
  • He sounds Decent, Reminds me of Daniel Aquino In some ways, Could be a great prospect, But will we ever see him in a Charlton Shirt? or is it one of them situation where we sign him never play him, and then ends up becoming a good player playing in LIGA BBVA or something

    Has not only been training with us, but specifically with the first team squad.  Great technique, apparently - or am I showing my age by not calling it tekkers?
