    Why wouldn't we? I'm confused as to what the question means!

    By the way, there has been a lot of discussion on Alonso on the Rumours thread

    It was a tongue-in-cheek comment, I assume. Presuming that everyone will find a reason to not sign him rather than to sign him.

    That was my attempt at little sarcastic humour! usually when we are linked with a player, people can't wait to say how useless they are and what a terrible decision it is to sign them! perhaps a times are changing!

    What did we achieve with them? I cannot see a problem letting them go and trying with new players

    Looking at his wikipedia, he looks a top buy. Had enough for Bolton to make a loan offer and has played a lot of games in the top two divisions of Spanish football. The only problem may be that he can't get used to the physicality of the football league.

    Fair enough kitchenchef sorry didn't appreciate that first time round. I agree, it will probably be not enough for some!

    alonso, hollands, jackson, racon, frimpong, semedo, cruise, parrett. Any 5 of these 8 would be great, however I can only see us having 3 at the most

    I hope this turns into a debate about the virtues of Semedo and Racon as I don't think we've covered that on Charlton Life.

    we achieved nothing, i don't mind if they go. i feel we can get better players on lesser wages.

    Certainly would be safer. I can't get used to this rainy one minute sunny the next. How about you?

    so.... why don't we want to sign this player???


    I can think of many reasons

    Not all Charlton fans would like him

    He  might not be any good

    He might be too good

    We might be able to buy someone better ie Messi

    He might go to dinner at the OXO

    He might have driven through Croydon/ New cross etc

    He's not a Charlton type of player

    He might be lazy

    I think it's better if we don't sign anyone

    I would be quite excited by this signing and I agree it probably means the end for Therry and Jose.Add Rowlands or Rae to the mix and our options at cm look very strong.I particularly like the fact that Hollands and Jacko are left footers which adds to our balance.

    Always good to have a few left footers on board.

    I'd like this to happen, too. Haven't seen much of him, but he's got Premier League experience, and has a good number of games under his belt. Being the brother of Xabi can't be a bad thing either. Though obviously footballing relatives doesn't necessarily mean they're anywhere near as good; Luke Young/Neil Young. Also, he's 31, not 37, so has experience but isn't reaching the last season of his career.

    Paul Hayes - Brother of Martin

    Mikel Alonso - Brother of Xabi

    Dave Martin - Brother of Lee

    It's all becoming clear.  Charlton have been taken over by a billionaire mad scientist based in a remote but heavily guarded Caribbean island who is planning to genetically clone footballers DNA.  Why else would Keith, father of Gavin, be brought out of retirement.  Why else would we sign Bradley Pritchard, an unknown player but who has a science degree.

    The world must be told.

    We have to stop him now before he builds a team of GMPs (Genitically Modified Players) who will sweep all before them winning trophy after trophy with effortless ease.

    On seconds thoughts, maybe lets keep that under our hats for a few years.
