    Not being rude Yann but who on Gods earth apart from Belgians and Roland's YouTube geeks watches Belgian football enough to be able to notice these players

    Well when we signed thuram I searched for some of their highlights and remembered a few of their players
    Not hard really , if you don't think he's a good player check he's FIFA rating ;) lol.
    So you haven't actually seen him play then?
    you couldn't make it up!
    What are you on about , you do realise the FIFA thing was a joke don't you or are you a bit simple ?
    You said you'd seen him play 'a couple of times.' As for Messi, I'm sure you've seen more than 30 seconds of him on YouTube. So actually, you don't know any more about him than anyone else. Let's judge him once he's in a Charlton shirt.
    Ffs did I say he was amazing ect all I said was he looks a good player and he's a better standard than what we've been given before but that's fairly obvious as he's a regular starter.
    'I've seen him play a couple of times.'
    I don't think he said he'd seen him live, did he? Watching a game on a screen still counts as seeing someone play, although one should treat highlights with a certain amount of circumspection.

    Any chance you could link these highlights you watched Yann? So far all Ive seen is 3 pixels taking a penalty. Would be good to see this encouraging footage

    At least he is better at taking penalties than Sordell.

    Here is a novel idea, let us wait until he signs. Then make up our minds after watching him play in a Charlton shirt.

    Unless any of us are gullable enough to think we will be nicking Liege’s best players off them – I think it is safe to assume that he plays in a position where they want to strengthen. Rather than have him languish in the reserves, the network system allows him to move and contribute to another club – us in this case.

    The key to whether this is a recipe for success is how much stronger Liege are than the Championship. It is difficult to gauge as the Belgian league has quite a few clubs smaller than Charlton in it. As he has played a significant number of games for the Liege first team, I would assume he is at least half decent. But he clearly would be considered below their standard (excuse the pun) if he is allowed to join us.

    I think it is perfectly legitimate to look at the transfer track record to date. When there are more positive examples, the assessment of signings will be more positive. I can’t see what is negative about wanting the owner to earn our enthusiasm and not giving it lightly.

    the minimum requirement for me when a player joins Charlton is someone who can kick a ball and attack one goal in one half and then the other goal in the 2nd half so as long as he can do that then welcome Yoni.

    "Yoni oh Yoni Buyens
    stays in the middle for me"

    "Oh Yoni, Yoni
    Yoni, Yoni, Yoni Yoni Buyens"

    "Oh Yoni well,
    You came from Liege without taking,
    But we sent you away.
    Oh, Yoni well,
    Kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
    And I need you today.
    Oh, Yoni"!

    Moved to Liege for €1.5m, transfermarket currently value him at €2.5m. Plays CM or holding.

    Will make him our highest valued player

    Standard Liege cast offs aka ones no longer in their plans would not walk the Championship, even with experience.. now chuck in they all have no Championship experience and here we have our problem..

    Players increase in value if they perform in England, but I'm sad to see our team become what is is becoming, as first thought

    P.s. wheres Chris O'Grady... #deflectingattention

    Yes it does. But he hasn't even done that.

    "higher standard than been given before" aint saying much !

    and as for Standard Liege they can f_uck off wouldnt finish in the top 6 in our Championship

    Yes they would
    Don't be silly... SL wouldn't finish above the mighty (s***) Wigan, or slick Brighton :/.

    Charlton are better than Standard Liege.

    It's easy to sort this one out. When we get some players let's get it on.
  • I'd like to think that after last season, Roland will at least now be aware that we need a higher level of Liege cast off to be able to cut it in the championship. Most of the ones sent last season were clearly not up to the task and RD and his advisors had clearly under-estimated how strong our league is.

    So bearing that in mind, i'd be quite hopeful that any players we do now get will be better than ones sent before.

    This!
    First question is whether one thinks Duchatelet is actually trying to harm CAFC?!
    Next question is where are the ten players we need going to come from?
    I don't think we will buy multi-million pound players so the answer is loans from Premier League, our Academy and network players, I.e. The same as Watford have been doing.
    I expect Liege are having a clear out because they went well in the league but the results were poor in the play-offs. If it happens then this is a step up from the January signings simply because they were in the 3-600k price range and completely surplus to Liege requirements.
    I have no comment to make on the relative standard of the top end of the Jupiter league but read the likes of @byl‌ with interest and await news of transfers and European games.
    Perhaps transfermarkt is not 100% accurate but it appears to be a reasonable indicator if one can tolerate some outliers.
    Right now it tells me that if our current players develop AND we can add a few decent players then we are mid-table next season. This guy looks like one even if it does mean that Poyet ain't signing :(
    Let's see what the squad looks like in July rather than rush to judge each and every rumour and move.

    Bloody hell guys if RD wasn't our owner and we went for a player from SL this place would of been buzzing with excitement.

    Not if 5 of the previous 6 SL signings were gash
    ...He feels me with more optimism of being a success than all of those, plus RD and his team are aware of what is required now.
    Can you keep such information to yourself, please?

    That was very similar to Marvellous Marvin's, soft and not far enough to the side. Only difference was, 'keeper went the wrong way.

    Thanks Chimme much appreciated that info but the moaning mrytles on here will still not be happy.
    We boast a FA cup win in 1947 so we are much to big a club to have someone like Yoni Buyens playing for us ;-)

  • Hope this is true, seems to be a decent player. Would be the only naturally creative midfielder we have too.

    Yoni, to Zola, across to Reza......

    Damn you Duchatelet for signing players with short names. Is he insinuating we are thick and can't pronounce long names?

    Little used last season, he was part of the long list of Median sedges on departure
    Ibrahima Cisse, transferred to Malines, will not only leave the median Standard this summer. Far from it!

    Alpaslan Ozturk, who finished the season on loan at Kasimpasa is supposed to return because the Turkish club has not exercised the option, but not in the plans of Guy Luzon. He can go to Charlton, but his desire is to still play a year in Belgium before returning to Turkey. There are more chances to see Yoni Buyens join Charlton. After three seasons spent in Belgium, William Winner should leave Standard. There is interest in Italy and England in particular ...
