Surprising, remember Leicester playing down our place. Absolute rock in the middle with so much pace, certainly impressed me. Guess he was up against some pony striker we had.
You could be right mate, I'm only going on a Brentford fans comments.
It says 'according to the charlton way' which is probably the worst blog I've ever read so I wouldn't take to much notice. All the bloke does is copy anything he sees on Twitter.

2 year contracts are rubbish - hard to win with them. Maybe that was all JBG was willing to sign.
Works both ways of course. Yes JBG's two year deal looks like poor business because he's been a huge success On the other hand we have signed Lepoint for example who doesn't look much like he's going to work out for us so a two year deal max would be spot on.
Unless you are paying a top dollar premium for players it's always a gamble.

It's a gamble regardless of the quality of the player - especially when moving to a new country.
Falcao and Bale have been pretty much slammed for their contributions this season.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing......but the fact is you can never be sure how a player is going to work out when coming to a new team.
2-3 year contracts seem about right to me as a starting point.

Agree in general with the point about contract lengths, don't think Lepoint is the best example though - immediately apparent that he wasn't up to the required standard, both to supporters and Guy Luzon, hence he's barely featured. What was our scouting network thinking?

......"He's cheap".....
We paid a fee and he still has two years left on his contract so I doubt he'll turn out to be cheap in the long run.

He'll be farmed off elsewhere
Most likely but still spent the fee and wages on him rather than someone else (opportunity cost) and still raises doubts over the recruiters IMHO

Indeed. Baffling. On the one hand, Roland was too tight to properly strengthen (or even slightly strenthen) the team between November and January, losing the opportunity to build on a good start to the season and dragging us unnecessarily towards the relegation zone (albeit briefly in the end). On the other hand, he's so generous that he'll happily pay the wages of the likes of Onyewu and Lepoint despite getting zero return in terms of football played or any future transfer fee.
I only saw his cameo appearance where he actually played well for about 10 minutes. Maybe a pre season etc may help, willing to give him a chance, had a good attitude from interviews. Could do better though I imagine.

Has Eagles not left the club?

No pace, poor control if he's starting for us next season we will struggle.
