Interesting one. At Wednesday he seemed to be a hard grafter but lacked the goalscoring touch. He scored 15 the season just gone so hopefully it wasn't a one off and he'll be able to repeat those numbers for us. Lord knows we could do with 15 goals off one of our players. Considering our strikers are currently Reza and no-one he could be an astute signing
Erm, aint you forgetting Simon 'thunder shot' Church?

You're right, how could I forget such an important piece of the jigsaw. Chris who?
And here we go again - as soon as we make it public we have made a bid, and even the amount, that just alerts other clubs. It's either downright naivety or spinning for the fans.
I could see how that would be the case for a lesser known player, but I'm sure Millwall and plenty of other clubs would have already been aware of someone who scored 15 goals in the Championship last season.
Thought he played well against us at The Valley and reminded me a bit of Deon Burton (a player I greatly admired).
In order to play an attractive style the team will need a centre-forward who can hold the ball up and allow the midfield to join in. Given the financial constraints, O'Grady might well be the sort of player we'll have to go for.
Chris O'Grady is better than any of our current forwards. I've always rated him, very strong with an eye for goal. Reminds me of a young Ricardo Fuller. unless he's older than him?? Either way, a good signing.
Not sure he is up to the championship? He scored more goals than any of our forwards last season 15 goals isn't bad at all for barnsley!
Scored a goal more than Yann Kermorgant as well.. he's also younger so the £400k we got for Yann dont sound bad at all if were getting this guy for £500k
Nice to see Charlton actually spending some money and starting to get the long term replacements in early in the close season. Double bonus for nicking him from under Millwall's noses.
Not many Championship clubs have actually bought any players yet.
O'Grady all day long. Can hold the ball up and if we sort out our wingers then he'll be good for at least a dozen over the season. Think people need to look at what we've had/have and realise this would be a good signing. That said I believe he'll go elsewhere, sadly.

Partly wonder if RD and KM after bringing in their foreign imports didnt realise how tough the Championship would be.
Now they know maybe we're gonna see what happened when we won League One... A side of unfashionable players who are experienced in the Championship and who can gell quickly to become a winning side

Let's hope that COG is the first of several more.
We haven't spent anything yet.
My mistake - I'll wait for confirmation on the OS.
Or perhaps we could ask your 'reliable source' TRR and he can confirm what part of Flanders COG comes from and whether we actually paid in Euros for him?
This is a bloody ridiculous signing if true, which I doubt, O'Grady? Thats not even a Belgian name, I bet he's never even drunk Belgian beer, or ever been on the Eurostar to Brussels....Roland out, network? my arse! We must protest and quick.....!

I agree, how dare he buy a player not from the network. I expect an e mail buzzing off at the moment to the new Manager telling him he cannot play O Grady.
We definitely need a target man; when we've been under the cosh, we've really struggled to relieve the pressure, to have an outlet to receive those punts from the back would be really helpful. Burton struggled to make an impact for us in the Championship, but was a key member of the L1 team that nearly got promoted the following season, and was missed when he left.

Roland scouted them himself, must of just bought Barnsley too.

Zamora or O'Grady ?
Barnsley went down because they couldnt defend...

If only we offered Yann half that.
Now, they're saying that they want player that are BETTER than experienced Championship players.
Sort it out RD! Sign Christian Ronaldo, or we'll be in a relegation dogfight!
Saying that, there's no evidence that O'Grady has any interest in moving down South. His record implies he prefers it oop North...
We must protest and quick.....!
O'Grady says touch your toes
O'Grady says jump in the air
O'Grady says close your eyes
Sign for Charlton
Ha ha ha - you're all out
