Leon is so thick, he makes Madine look like Einstein.
you got your steins confused .... Madine is more Frankenstein (or rather F'Steins monster) than ol Albert ... young Gazza likes a row on and off the pitch, at least Clarke, so far as we know, has yet to narrowly escape being banged up for his sins

I don't doubt that he's thick. But we haven't signed him for his mental ability. Most of the England team aren't exactly clever. Rooney, Ferdinand, Cole, Terry, Defoe ad infinitum.
Anyway if we'd signed him as first choice then I can see why you might be happy. But he's a reserve striker fighting out a bench place with Paul Hayes & Jason Euell.
Can't wait for the 14th. Please play Bambi sorry Llera. Absolutely loved the way he tried to head the ball, missed, landed on his arse & gifted Walsall their 2nd added time goal & the winner. Classic, even by his standards. Mind you he can do a lot worse. Here's hoping.
Seems a reasonable gamble, as BWP or Yan are bound to get injured at some stage and we also need someone who can make an impact from the bench. Benson has been out in the cold all season and we'd get practically nothing for him now with only 6 months left on his contract. Hayes has his qualities but is a bit anaemic and I suspect the oppo would much prefer to face him than Leon Clarke. If it works out, Clarke will get a contract; if not, he'll be on his way in the Summer, so he has every incentive to do the business.

I know it's only football rumours but a post on there is linking Wendy with Izale McLeod. So neither region owl or whatever. Please let this be true. Back at yer innit.
Sounds like a player with potential who has struggled to settle anywhere and subsequently has never had the run of games required to realise his potential. His most recent form suggests there is something there and 26 is a good age for a striker as he should be beginning to peak.
Sounds to me like a decent deal given the age and involvement of who we're swapping him for and therefore worth a punt. Much as I like Benno I doubt he'd score so prolifically for Chesterfield.
I'll judge him on his time with us. Sometimes it comes down to being at the right club at the right time in your career.
From what I remember he's a Marcus Bent/Akpo Sodje type, pace, strength and height. Should be a handful if we get the best out of him.
Will trust Powell on this, do like the idea of this type of player as he should be able to play with BWP or alongside him. A smaller quick Ecclestone type from the Prem won't offer that.

like scoring in a relegation head to head with palace and kicking the advertising boards so hard he breaks a toe and is subbed!!.Like I said thick.
He also scored goals this year for a bottom table club, so we've got rid of Benno in a swap for goalscorer for free, sounds good business to me.
Plus Clarke is here in time to score his first Charlton goal at Hillsborough in a few weeks.
Wish Benno all the best as well, had a hard time here but he can score goals.

Like 90th minute defending at Walsall thick ? or celebrating like a 90th minute winner ? please confirm thanks.
The sold Morrison for being shite and signed llera
We sign the fourth top scorer in the league (scoring goals for a bottom club which in my opinion makes his record this season even more impressive)
And he is signed as a replacement for a player who can't even make our bench
We still have Bwp and big yann as our main two strikers
Ignore the fan of the biggest team outside the prem they are soooooo massive that they are not top of the league

A done deal once the window opens.
I have to say that put like that it becomes a bit of a no-brainer!

Unless he's off of course.....
Silly season has started folks!
