They'll love Bailey down The Den because he's committed and wears his heart on his sleeve. But as they will almost certainly overlook, and a few of our fans did as well, is that he's not much of a Footballer, no great passing abillity, and is certain to make a few sloppy mistakes/give away free kicks and pens. An okay signing IMO, not a good one, ask yourself would you swap him for Jacko? Not me..
No reason why Bailey shouldn't sign for Millwall. He's a Fulham supporter, not a Charlton one. I'm sure he has a lot of affection for CAFC, but why can't he sign for Millwall? He won't care at all about the perceived rivalry, which is all a load of tosh really.
Think he'll do well for them - in my view they're making some decent signings which should see them mid-table and not fighting relegation. They could even get close to the play-offs.
When I first heard Bailey signed for Millwall my intital reaction was "so what" maybe it's because I look back at those times we had in League One (Under Parky) and our Championship relegation season and I don't really want to re-sign those players that put us backwards.
I don't think Bailey would improve our midfield at all.
I genuinely am not bothered he's gone there, it's not as if he'd been with us 10 years and was a club legend. After all Steve Gritt ended up at Millwall, and you can't get more Charlton than him! It's easy to sneer now, but in our relegation season he was clearly our best player, and if the rest of the team had been as good as him, we wouldn't have gone down.
He is also that rarity, a Pardew signing that we made a profit on, does this apply to any of his other signings?
He did ok for us apart from that penalty miss and we made some money. Will he get some stick........oh yes, why? Because he now plays for the scum, end of.
This is by no means sour grapes but I never rated him when he was here. Great swashbuckling first games (cue cum in yout pants fans) led to a static central midfielder that the game passed by.
Decent on the left through with a good scoring record, therefore maybe okay there.

As the season hasn't started yet I'm sure they will give you a refund if you ask for it.
If they don't I'll buy it off you for face value.
Are we on?
I see old Bob up there has been given the elbow.
.......a balls not even been kicked yet ffs.
Richardson training with them as well
If Solly does go, he'd be a decent option at right-back for a season at least
Make your mind up.
That's a bit harsh. I admit he backtracked, when his bluff was called, but even so :-)
Charlton Athletic 0-1 Millwall
