    Really pleased - great news. One of the most exciting players we've had far a while. Just hope that it doesn't mean he 'eases off' a bit. Some players seem to take their foot off the gas a bit with long contracts...to me it felt like Wiggins did just after he'd signed up for 4 years. I'm sure it won't happen - but sometimes it might sub-conciously affect them. They probably feel more secure and there's less to 'fight for'.

    Same with me, except he calls me at least once a week opening with "Dad can you.....?" First time for an age he hasn't wanted anything!

    Terrific news. Not too bothered about the whole 'at least we'll get some money for him one day' angle, but I'm just delighted we'll get to see such an exciting player in a Charlton shirt again next season. Best out and out winger I can remember us having since the Premier League days.

    I am struggling to think of a better winger from the prem years. Wingers were never our strong point, and Curbs famously played with conservative options out wide such as Graham Stuart. I can't think of many out and out wingers we had (Robbo only really featured in a couple of prem seasons).

    It's true we were not overrun with great wingers back then. Rommadhal and Jerome Thomas were probably the best but neither are fit lace JBG's boots.

    Maybe Jerome Thomas when he had that period of good form when he first got into the side. Beyond that maybe someone like Paul Mortimer, who even though wasn't always played as a winger, had unreal dribbling ability and could beat a man with ease like Gudmundsson does.

    JBG a winger? Does he ever take on anyone on the outside?

    Doesn't need to when he hits them top corner from 35 yards

    Tremendous news, which gives everyone connected with the club a huge lift. The prospect of a bit of JBG magic creates a real sense of anticipation in any game, no matter how tedious, and we can be proud to have a player who could walk into any other team in this division. As remarked earlier in the thread, hopefully this news will encourage some waverers to renew their season tickets.

    I expect JBG to have a really good season running into the Euros and it very much looks like he'll be in France next Summer with Iceland. You have to admire any country of 320,000 who have 100 players playing abroad (many at a high level), not to mention having something like 30 of the world's 50 strongest men ( ! ).

    Think I'd like to see what JBG can do in the PL before I'd go that far.
    "Unfortunately" for Dennis he never got to play for us against mediocre Championship players

    Opposition do the research, they know he's going to cut in on his left.
    Still can't get anywhere near him though.

    Got the same feeling as when Gomez signed a new long term deal last October.

    Great news!
