Iain Liddle's headline on the CAFC website is "Charlton complete signing of Belgium international Christophe Lepoint" - we've seen his Wikipedia page Iain, bit generous with the term "international" methinks.
That is akin to calling to calling me a neurosurgeon because I once gave someone a couple of aspirins when they complained of having a headache.
I think i've seen it all now, not only were we going into the annals of footballing history , by setting the record for the most amount of games drawn in one season, we actually sign a player called 'Le Point' to help us achieve it!
welcome Christophe .. just what we've needed for a long time .. a tall and (hopefully) powerful midfielder .. recent signings are all good so far .. keep up the good work the CAFC 'purchasing team'
Looks like I ate my words from yesterday. Want sure we'd get someone in. However I like this signing a lot. Genk fans seem disapointed to lose him, and his first comments included him saying he will fight for Charlton from the first moment. Love his mentality
Good good. Centre mid and defense now sorted... now how about the problem area we've had all season. Not heard a whisper about a striker (other than fan generated bollocks). If we sign one I'll consider this a good effort at Jan window from Roly the meddler.
I read above that from the Belgium support that Lepoint is not good enough for a top 5 Belgium team. From what I have seen from the Belgium league, the top teams would struggle to make the Championship top 6 due to the physical demands of the division. The top Belgium teams may make top 6 but would struggle to get promoted. That's part of the problem. There is an underestimation of the strength of the championship in comparison to the Jupiler League.
So Lepoint a fighting character but he is reported as being a bit slow and not that skillfull. This does not look like this is a transfer that will propel Charlton up the league.

What with the window signings of Neil, Mark, Tony and Miles, Roland is slowly but surely building a beautiful British squad. Really hope the rumours of Tel moving to Israel and King George to Romania aren't true.

He could be the new Dick Tydeman....
I had exactly the same thought earlier today .. great minds think alike ((:>)

Vaguely remember him, was he consistently any good and what division where we at the time and what position. ?

where?
Well now we'll stop playing Solly in midfield, meaning we can use Gomez at CB. Signing a CM should mean we can therefore play 2 other players in their favoured positions.
Julius Caesar conquered the whole of Gaul in 57 BCE, and famously said that of all people of Gaul the Belgians were the bravest.
I'm not sure how 'pure' the Belgian tribal bloodlines still are, but they have survived a vicious German invasion in 1914, another one in 1940 and earlier, centuries of Burgundian, Spanish and Hapsburg colonialism, and the Belgians are still alive and prospering very nicely thank you. Christophe, judging by his name is a Walloon, a 'French' Belgian. According to the 'Flemish' Belgians, the French Belgians are not Belgians at all, merely foreign interlopers.

My new Charlton recruitment judgement policy.
Sorry Dave, does this have anything to do with Specsavers ?
Christophe scores Lepoint blank winner for Charlton
