i recall danny green's post signing interview on cafc player and i was struck, a) he didn't look/sound like a team spirit player, b) he said he had "unfinished business" at charlton, c) when asked as to what we should expect from him, he said, i can beat a man, sling in dangerous crosses and score the odd goal. i love the new signing interviews - bikey was particularly excited to be joining us...errr, where am i, why am i here...? ;>)
Crazy that he's only 26 years old and has dropped back down the Divisions again... He's League One Standard yet cant seem to stay at that level
Had one good season there fo Daggers, was indifferent for us in a title winning side and was much the same for MK Dons last year too in another successful team. True he's won two promotions but hardly been a key got in either team. Reckon he is more of a League 2 to 1 standard than an establish League 1 player myself. Maybe John Still can get the best out of him again like he did at Daggers - what's Paul Benson up to these days?
And there was I imagining a radio commentary from MK Dons that went "Green beats three Charlton defenders, crosses to Church whose volley rifles into the net to give MK Dons a first minute lead"
There was a glorious moment early in our promotion season away at MK Dons when Green came on and with his first contribution sold an outrageous dummy and crossed in the run right on Yann's head for our equaliser. Right in front of me. I thought I was going to be a new dawn. Happy memory though.

Danny Green's problem isn't the level of play he is capable of reaching - it is one of producing his best level consistently even over a full 90 minutes. His lowest level isn't even good enough for League 2.
He'll initially look the part, show some promise, technical ability but fade quickly, fail to deliver. By week 2 it will be: Siralan: "You're a t-shirt selling ponse, you've brought nothing, you're fired!"

I liked Green. Shame he never kicked on.
I always thought he had the potential, shame it never worked out as I always think football is more exciting with wingers.
isn't he playing for Chelmsford City now?

Dickson's doing well, 17 goals in 2 starts.
