Don't usually read the intothevalley site but just had a look to see the comments about the signing. Reams had this to say...
"Chris Powell as I keep saying has much to learn in some areas of what he does and signing Leon Cort proves it for me - why have three non scoring centre halves on your books? We needed a CB who is better than what we have but in Cort we have got nowhere near him."
The ability to find the net is all anyone looks for in a centre back. Mind boggling.

Ok no goals for Burnley last season from 19 games, but at most clubs he's had a decent goal scoring record - eg 4 goals for Stoke from 30 games, 7 from 49 for Palace, 10 in 86 for Hull. I'd take a goal every seven/eight games from a CB.

clueless springs to mind
Just wait until he finds out that none of our 4 strikers is any good in goal. The eejit.

Good point.
Rob Elliot - 100 matches for Charlton and not a single goal, get rid.
just been reading that forum seems like hes got a lot to say for himself why the hell wasnt he given job instead of CP hes clearly a footballing mastermind/genius who knows everything

He is the son of Eddie May, our assistant Manager under Lennie.
I work with a Stoke Fan, who has'nt got a bad word to say about him. Reckons he is excellent in the air which you would expect for a man of his size and scored some very important goals for them too when they got promoted. I think it is an immense purchase, has to start along side Taylor for me, with Morrison 3rd choice.
Instead of making Morrison 3rd choice CH4RLTON, SCP has the luxury of playing him at right back right back if Solly loses form or gets injured in preference to Francis.

Morrison is a bit slow for full back IMO and with Francis and Hughes there I think it's unwise unless in an emergency
Not necessarilly Morrison's played there before and would give you at least 3 six footers in the backline if you wanted to combat an aerial bombardment team or even switch to this formation during a game. Isn't Hughes a utility player rather than an out and out full back?
Yeah, but we've already played some physical teams that like a long ball, and CP has had no problem playing with smaller fullbacks so I can't see it changing personally.
he's welcome despite my not liking loanees except in the direst emergency. I hope in this case season long means that and not season long unless Howe wants him back for Christmas
Not going to comment on his playing ability , as he hasn't even pulled on the famous red shirt , hope he'll turn out all right, i was thinking on the way back from Bury that Morrison and Taylor have had a huge amount of bullets thrown at them recently and must be feeling it , they remind me of night club bouncers , i wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of them!
Don't think anyone should be walking into the side. 4 decent centre backs now (Doc 4th choice but can still do a job) so happy. We seem to have an obsession with pace at the back but I think we are perfectly fine at the back pace wise.

Good to see Reams thoroughly researching this...

Now for another striker Powell/Slater!
