    honestly would be underwhelmed by this signing, looks like another reza to me

    Seriously! The couple of vids on YouTube show him as so much more. Strength, pace, finishing not to mention a shit load of passion when he scores. Him and Vetokele could be awesome and very much an unknown quantity

    Mate youtube can make anyone look good, I'm not going by that.

    I don't like the fact he has only had 1 good season in a relatively poor league.

    I'm pleased so far with some our signings but I do fear we are still underestimating this league far.. Far to much

    Quite possibly but in the case of Delort it would appear quite a few other teams are doing the same.

    Mainly all agent talk, couple of clubs have come out and confirmed talks have never taken etc athletico

    I don't think we will be signing him anyway

    Andy Delort signs 3 year deal with charlton athletic. On wikkipedia must be true ;-)

    Apparently No 9 as well. That was a quick squad number assigning !

    Edit

    Now thats gone and apparently 'Andy Delort (born October 9, 1991 in Sète, Hérault) is a French professional football player. Currently, he plays for Brentford FC.' You got to laugh. Think I will leave this one until tomorrow.

    Havn't looked at this thread since I was at work earlier today, when I saw 144 new posts my heart skipped a few beats! Well after reading them all, I do feel like we are a bit closer to signing this bloke (whoever the hell he really is) than we were this morning! Hope we all wake up to good news!

    Would be very pleased if we got him, purely because it'll be like when we beat Sheffield Wednesday to the signing of Danny Green... but this is Leeds so it'd be about 10 times sweeter.

    Delort is racking in the Charlton and Leeds followers on twitter. Just makes me want us to sign him more.

    fuck it, just for you lot I'm gonna make an ultimate team on fifa and buy his team of the season card and stick him up front with Igor. Tweet him the pic. Can't be letting Leeds outdo us on the twitter sucking up. Gotta show the drive that he's after.

    So if Delort takes #9 and we get rid of Reza, there is still time to fit in Bahebeck in his favourite #8.....................

    Haha, the Leeds fans seem well salty. If he doesn't sign for us after that i'll probably hate him.

    Really hope we sign him, even just to piss off all the leeds fans going on about how he'd be mad to join a 'small club' like us or Brentford

    Yep looks like its happening, never heard of the guy before Saturday let's hope he has a similar impact of the previous French striker we had.

    Well done @TravHouse‌, I think you have just announced the signing

    Or Delort just likes a bit of hero worship, I mean who has ever heard of a Frenchman with an ego?

  • Lol you might have something there

    All indications point to us being the Club, the reference to signing for a London club and him being at the Valley on Friday.

    Am distinctly whelmed by this signing as he seems an abrasive and combative player whose style should work in this league.

    He does look good but he is yet another young player, this team will not be at its best for a few years.

    By then RD will have sold most of them.

    Remember Izale McLeod looked good before we signed him.

    Out of interest, has Bob worked with Delort before?

    If he has a good YouTube video he must be quality...

    Unless he ends up at dirty l**d's.
  • Would be a great signing. I can't see him pushing Church out of the team yet though. Maybe the prospect of playing with Simon will clinch the signing for us #idol

    Church must be getting nervous with all these striking options signing up. He has really been banging them in in pre-seas........oh!

    I disregard the constant reference to YouTube clips. Ever since i saw a video of my mate spray the ball 50 yards only to chest it down himself to the tune of dizzee rascal, I have had no choice but to put my trust in Big Bob and the scouts.
