He is a decent player. I think he was FCK's leading scorer last season. The Danish Superliga is not that good though so I wouldn't read to much into it!
Still, its nice to be able to say we have signed someone.
I'll keep an eye out for the Danish press to see how they are reporting the move and post more here later.
Cynic in me says his was only released to butter us up before the news of Poyet/Morrisson leaving! As this normally wouldn't be released until personal terms agreed!
Well, it's a start! Decent enough credentials I suppose and a goal scoring record. Quite excited about this. Still really think we need to sign players who know the championship and some english players to ensure that the bond between the players is still as strong
Well, regardless of how good he turns out to be for us we're not going into the season with one senior striker at the moment and that's already an improvement on last season
Vetokele, Parszyczek, Ghocchannejhad and Church, just need a lump (O'Grady) and that'll be the strikers.
Harriott, Wilson, Cousins, Jackson midfield, need 3/4 more, ideally a creative midfielder, a utility winger who is left Footed, a box to box player and a midfield general.
Wiggins, Solly, Wood all fine, but we desperately need another 3 centre backs, Nego and Fox good enough back up at full back
Pope, we need a more experienced head to compete with our talented but young keeper.

Overall I'd say we need another 8 players
I agree with the 8 players. Though I would say:
1 x big lump striker 2 x CB as opposed to 3 (I would take Gomez or Lennon as 4th choice) 1 x experienced gk 3 x CM 1 x winger
looks OK but Reza was very highly rated and couldn't cope with English football. After the January transfer window I think we should reserve our judgement until we have seen him play!
Comments
I would imagine terms are already agreed, but he still has the matter of a medical!
Copenhagen posting it on twitter and their website might have forced CAFC's hand?
He seems keen enough and with his link to Bob, I expect it to go through.

And will he be an upgrade on Church, Reza and Polish Pete?
Much prefer to stick with current or ex Championship players.
Especially from 3.46

"Belgian Igor Vetokele to Charlton Athletic. Surprising. In January an official bid from Standard was still turned away by FC Copenhagen."
wont ever see him wear the red of Charlton. FACT
Now all we need is Christian Bolanos to put the crosses in for him -he's at Copenhagen, isn't he?
