Cheers Phil. Looks like Buyens could be the most enigmatic and difficult to work out player. I need to see him play again.0

Pretty sure Sporting Lisbon (as they are known) are in the first tier of Portuguese football....so not a bad result, I would say.Atletico Addick said:

I feel a lot better about the squad having read your post. So thanks. I can't wait for the new season to start now.Valiantphil said:I feel a lot better about the squad having watched the 2 games, and I believe we will get a striker and a keeper this week.
Great to hear from someone who was there.
A quick question though....Are you historically an optimist or pessimist ?

Buyens is a hard working, tackling midfielder with more passion than football intellect, when it gets rough he ll be there. Scores a goal or three a season ( if i remember correctly) but has been on the bench for a few months, i think he ll do fine as holding midfielder.seth plum said:Cheers Phil.

I'm not looking to do the club any favours after the way they sold the Frenchman.
They have a lot of work to do to win back my confidence.
The Spain matches were the start of that process.
I guess I went into the 2 matches as a pessimist.2 -

Middlesbrough just gave ACDP a 5-0 spanking this morning. Puts the result in perspective, essentially Portugal 3rd tier quality. Would rate that around low conference level.0
-
we sold him because we did not want to pay and match the money Bournemouth were offering , some one judged that that money could be better spent elsewhere on developing Sint-Truden a forwardcolin1961 said:Sold the Frenchman ?
He turned down a new deal worth over 10 k a week to go to Bournemouth because they offered more money and this is someone who was supposed to love Chatlton ??
We did not sell him we had no choice because he did not want to stay8 -
Would take that result with a pinch of salt. They're recovering from when we devastated them.Atletico Addick said:Middlesbrough just gave ACDP a 5-0 spanking this morning. Puts the result in perspective, essentially Portugal 3rd tier quality. Would rate that around low conference level.

Pigott starting. Why?
Read the match reports, sounds to me like Joe is earning his chance. This is fact finding time, give the lad a chance to show what he can do.2 -
On behalf of the optimists, I believe we might be flirting with the top 6. Can't wait to get to Brentford.4
-
I feel that this is going to be a top 6 or absolute disaster season, can't see it being mid table boredom.
This, added to the fact that I've moved back to London (Docklands) after 14 years exile in Nottingham/ France, has persuaded me to buy my first season ticket for 10 years.
Looking forward to it immensely.2 -
Usually we get pretty scant stuff from the Spain pre-season, so many thanks to Jimmy Stone for keeping the information ticking over. Appreciated.2

Without going over the old ground again - he was our player and had 5 months left on his contract, so no need to sell him.colin1961 said:Sold the Frenchman ?

If we hadn't sold him he would have left for free, but we got a transfer fee from selling him in January. It's just good business sense when you think about it......Valiantphil said:

He was settled in London with his family. Moving to Bournemouth was a big step for him, and not necessarily one he wanted. Not sure why people are sniping Yann out with regards to him deliberately mugging us off, far from true.CAFC_Norfolk said:

There you go, fixed it for you ! ;-)1 -
If it wasn't what he wanted then he wouldn't have gone - he would've at least seen out his contract. And moving from Charlton to Bournemouth can hardly be considered a "big step" in any sense of the imaginationAtletico Addick said:

Yep, sell him for 400k and buy Polish Pete for 700k as a replacement.CAFC_Norfolk said:

Move on. George will thrill us and score more often.0

watched the highlights this morning, the thing I noticed was how high and how hard we pressed the ball, that's a good thing for me2
-
Just going on the highlights, Joe seemed to do well too - among others, a nice bit of work early on the video on the right wing.0
