Yes indeedHenry Irving said:
Most likely but still spent the fee and wages on him rather than someone else (opportunity cost) and still raises doubts over the recruiters IMHOwmcf123 said:
He'll be farmed off elsewhereHenry Irving said:
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.Fumbluff said:
......"He's cheap".....MrLargo said:
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?ShootersHillGuru said:
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.MuttleyCAFC said:2 year contracts are rubbish - hard to win with them. Maybe that was all JBG was willing to sign.
Unless you are paying a top dollar premium for players it's always a gamble.0 -
It is. Well that's what I tell myself.The Red Robin said:
Only if baldness is a quality.MuttleyCAFC said:I wouldn't write LePoint off totally. He needed to adapt, but there were some subtle clues that he had some qualities.

It can be. But I was thinking of a driving run he made at the Valley as a late substitute and some nice touches. Where he got a lot of stick was when he was played as a striker which was terrible. Not saying he is a great player, but he may be being written off a bit too quickly.The Red Robin said:

Don't be silly, we are Charlton fans, we would never do such a thing!MuttleyCAFC said:

Lepoint is also meant to be good in the dressing room, a good team man, and with so many French speakers, he should be able to keep many of them happy!0

Nadir Ciftci wants to leave Dundee United, not Prem class at Mo,
But would be a great signing for CAFC and show some ambition to go for a number 9 who is only 23 and a young Turk.(Polish Pete and Reza to go to United plus a million or two)
Would increase our crowd as well with the Turkish population of London.4 -

LePoint will come good, this will be his season.
I predict he will be Player of the Year and a Charlton ledge.3 - Sponsored links:

Anyone else think we're waiting for the end of the Women's World Cup before we get our business done? We must have some scouts out there watching......2

Don't remind me of the Cardiff away performance, looked like it was the first time he'd ever seen a football !MuttleyCAFC said:

I thought lots of people thought the idea was that he would go to St Truinden this summer - has something happened to make that unlikely ?1 -

Having said that the player who did come off the bench and made a real improvement was Simon Church, so maybe they'll sign him instead!0 -
If he's starting for us next season, it would be proof that our coaching staff are rediculously talented, verging on the miraculous.BigRedEvil said:Lepoint looks a really poor buy.
No pace, poor control if he's starting for us next season we will struggle.
If he's starting some place in Hungary…0 -

QPR are looking at £750,000 rated Charlton winger Callum Harriot.
The wideman, 21, is also being tracked by Wolves and Huddersfield.

I'd be gutted if we let him go for that derisory sum.Charlton_Stu said:QPR are looking at £750,000 rated Charlton winger Callum Harriot.

The funny thing is that Callum no doubt thinks he's worth that sum...2

Not looking good is it so far? If we are already missing out on top championship players due to our refusal to pay the going rate in wages, it means roly is not prepared to push the boat out. Back to getting in leige outcasts and more foreign mercenaries. It is no wonder JBG and Gomez will leave when mid table appears to be utopia to Roland.
Desire to break even = lack of investment = mediocrity.11 -

Harriott is such a frustrating player, obviously has ability but rarely shows it. 750k is a great offer for him2

Don't mean to let facts get in the way of anybody's wallowing, but:bolloxbolder said:Back to getting in leige outcasts and more foreign mercenaries. It is no wonder JBG and Gomez will leave...
- The Liege loan players that finished the season at CAFC (Buyens and Bulot) were demonstrably successful. In fact if you count Watt and Tal as 'Liege outcasts', that makes up debatably four of our strongest players.
- Can't think of a single foreign player at the club that fits the description of 'mercenary'? Did anybody seem to be there just for a pay day?14 -
