I know someone who told me they asked him to do a picture with their son at an away game, about 2 hours before kick off. He just gave them a blank look and walked away.
If he wasn't an academy product he would be getting pelters for things like that plus all this social media nonsense. Academy product yes, but not proper Charlton.
That's bad. Not like he was late for the game. Really pisses me off when you hear of people approaching players and they refuse and autograph or pose for a photo. This is Jordan Cousins were talking about, not an A list celebrity.

We are all allowed an off day. I have seen Jordan pose with plenty of kids in various pictures.

Give over - bloke runs himself into the ground every bloody game.
I would put saying 'not proper Charlton (insert other Football team here)' alongside 'does not show passion' as classic nonsense football fans tend to say. No wonder players like JBG and Buyens never seem to be liked by our fans even though their stats prove they were among our best players.
Not proper Charlton? I think if you are basing that on blanking a request for a photo then it's pretty harsh. As others have said he is one of the more approachable players off the field and is often involved in talking to kids at coaching camps in the Summer etc.
Has played consistently for the last three seasons and even when clearly injured or unfit. Will play where he's asked and is not affected by the off field stuff. Did pre season training last year before the rest of the squad returned. Gives his all every single game and is genuinely hurt by what has happened to the club he has spent ten years at.
thought he was awful on Saturday, too many passes went astray
There were a couple of nice passes but as you say, a lot of poor passes. Somehow he needs to improve his shooting too....it's pretty bad. Maybe League One could be a good place for him to learn the art of midfield goal-scoring? (it worked wonders for Johnnie Jackson).
Most supporters, including me, think Jordan has been our best player for the last two years.
This "can't pass" nonsense is getting boring. Some of his passing has been exceptional and he has the ability to cut through defences and is one of the few with the vision to see the pass and make it. This, his tackling, his energy driving forward, his adaptability and sheer energy is what has made him POTY two year on the trot.
Like him as a player not as a person. Was a complete tool in Belgium this year pretending to be on the phone when we was trying to chat to him. Arrogance isn't a great trait

Was the giveaway that he was doing a pretend phone with his hand?
Harriott and Lookman removed cafc from their Twitter bios as well. Mutiny?
Just as likely a bunch of bored players in the off-season playing a prank on all the saddo supporters with so little else to worry about in their lives they can waste time checking for minor changes in footballers Twitter profiles.

I'm sure he does, but just hearing that one incident gave me a bad impression.
And @FishCostaFortune - I've never stated that he doesn't show passion. Quite the opposite - I'll happily agree that he runs himself into the ground and gives 100%.
For me 'proper Charlton' is about fan engagement more than it is on the pitch ability. Petty things like changing Twitter descriptions and shite like that a couple of days after a season finishes......You wouldn't see Chris Solly, Johnnie Jackson doing that.
Perhaps don't take actions on social media quite so seriously. Cousins has worked his balls off for 3 seasons and deserves better than our ridiculous club

So you've decided he's not proper Charlton based one on second-hand anecdote you heard from someone you know? Christ, no wonder he's blocked Charlton Life.

Proper Charlton? Pretty much.
