Liked him thought he was very talented in the Gylfi Sigurdson wonder season. If I remember rightly doesn't have much pace, which is something we desperately need as an option.

I can forgive players for being untalented, so won't be picking the usual suspects..
But my vote had to go to Simon Church. an international with a decent pedigree, he showed us absolutely nothing. He couldn't head, poor movement, no trickery or pace or power. Worst of all he had no heart and hid. His performance against Leeds was shameful, absolutely shameful. I remember almost turning back home when I saw on twitter Grayson had dropped Vaughan for this waste of space.
I so disliked Church so much I even booed him off - first time in 20 years I've done this.
I even put on twitter something similar, it got over 20 retweets...from Reading fans. Sums him up!
must be the only "highlights" vid to show unconverted crosses, aimless runs & saved shots.........
usually I would say no thanks, but seeing as the start of the season is only 10 days away and we only have 1 striker to have played at Championship level then beggars can't be choosers.

lol bloody hell!
If we sign him, then i'll judge him on what he does in a Charlton shirt. Couldnt give a shit what he's done previously in his career.

Yep, Leicester fans and Kermogant spring to mind - Morrison and Sheff Weds fans also.
CP will get the rite stuff out of him, he may have to altar his game a bit, but given our lack of resources unless we get lent some money or a better player this could be a good signing.
No pun but he is Welsh I wonder if Mr Gower has a hand in recommending/ persuading. That's an often overlooked aspect of having older heads in the squad, they are able to make recommendations on the basis of having trained or played with someone who may have otherwise slipped throught the net.

Church, go on DATM and see how successful his loan spell there was.
Means sweet FA OP, you rate our cast off Llera and we highly rate Moro. That Udders fan rates those lumps Alan Lee and the 'beast' Parkin better than Church hmmmmm, as Chazza says I'll reserve judgement until he wears our colours.
I realise that but the fact remains that if you are a seasoned Pro plying your trade at the most succesful Welsh club in years you are going to be aware of local (National) talent or prospects, even if you are not playing with them on a regular basis.
If only we had signed Jermaine Easter asd well we could have had a God Almighty strike force. Can't believe I'm getting involved I'm that bored with the news!

We just need Nick Pope to make the first team. If we could get Bret Angel and Phil Chapel to come out of retirement...

Wonder what our threads about Francis, Ambrose, McCormack et al would look like to Bournemouith, Palace and Swindon fans. Considering how Charltonisation works and how we've picked up the careers of Yann, Morrison, Cort and other such unloved players I'm obliged to take every player with a clean slate
