On the other hand Chapple would be ideal in gushing whether a CB would be up to the physicality of the English game. Silky skills aren't everything:-)DamoNorthStand said:
Bless Chaps, he did a job, but if he recommended a centre back it wouldn't fill me with confidence!ElfsborgAddick said:
I wonder if anybody knows how many players we have brought in as a recommendation from Phil Chapple?AFKABartram said:We'll just have to wait and see.
One thing i've learned during the Roland era is that some people will get automatically excited about signing a player from abroad, that they've never really heard of or have a clue how good he is, or how suited to the English game. Its a lot more exciting signing a French player from a Portugese club than signing a Scotsman from Wigan. Reza and Polish Pete clipped my wings in that sense.
Lots of risks have been taken with the summer transfer dealings; we are still a fair bit down on numbers compared to last season, and we've so far put all our eggs into the overseas basket. RD is putting a lot of fair into the ability of his European scouting network to deliver.
Have not got a clue how this will go, but welcome to Charlton Nobby0 -
A bit like Ba who didn't quite make it at Sunderland and Big Mak who didn't do it for Palermo we're buying unfulfilled potential. You could perhaps add Celebos to that list.
All three/four were seen as good enough to be snapped up at an early age and great things were expected of them.
Didn't quite work out for a variety of reasons so they become affordable to Charlton. That is where we are in the food chain. Could be they aren't up to it or that we've got a few bargains.
Sarr was playing for Lisbon and then lost his place. Doesn't mean he isn't good enough for us at this current level. Doesn't mean he's a world beater and will cruise the division either.
We shall see. Some mistakes have been made (le Point) and some mistakes have been made again and again (Nego, Tucadean, Reza) within the network.
Other network mistakes (Watt to Standard) worked out well for us.
We shall just have to wait and see how Sarr and the others do for this club and in this league.
Today is Steve Thompson's birthday. He was one of seven player bought by new owners in 1985 (30 years ago). Pender, Pearson, Reid, Humphrey, Shipley, Philips were the others as I remember. All but Philips did well for us and we got promoted to the top flight. Who knows if history will repeat itself?

Yep, though it wasn't a great header.Leuth said:

Reminds me of one Morrison mistake for the massives that they hated him for and he turned out alright.1 -
Well that is ridiculous isn't it? We would be allowed to be disappointed if we were desperate for a striker last year then signed Dele Adebola. Clearly we want bodies in defence in particular (so I don't mind this transfer) but just because we want new players in it doesn't mean we want people who come in with bad reviews on a really long contract. I'm not writing him off already by any means but the amount of Sporting fans who are pointing out him being awful isn't encouraging.Clem_Snide said:Concerned when we don't sign anyone, concened when we do sign someone.
If nothing else our fans are at least consistent.0 -
So do we reckon that's that then or are their one or two more signings on the horizon?0

Maybe. Was the fee for Sarr undisclosed like all the other signings?Henry Irving said:

Reckon a winger, and someone who can cover right back and centre back ideally?Henry Irving said:

'Not good enough for Sporting Lisbon' is a meaningless statement with regards to us - it likely applies to our entire squad and 95% of Championship players.9
-
Could we do with another striker? We have Big Mak, Watt and a not fully fit Igor as our main ones, with KAG and Pigott as backup. If Igor still isn't right I'm not sure it's enough.DamoNorthStand said:

I think Diarra will be a fantastic mentor and role model for him.11

Whatever happened to Oguchi Onyewu? He actually played half a season or so for Sporting Lisbon a couple of years back and looked OK in the one game I saw of him for Charlton. Never knew why he never got anywhere near the side besides that.

Are you really comparing a French U21, with Champions League experience signing to signing Dele Adebola?hudson-son-son said:

If you want to worry about a few numpties spouting off on social media you carry on.
If he plays 20 games and is a cart-horse I'll worry about it then.

Our last signing from Sporting Lisbon (Jose Semedo) didnt do too badly for us and he didnt even get close to their First-Team6
-
Don't care what Sporting fans are saying... Bar JBG resigning this is the signing that I am most excited about. The kid has scored in the in the Champions League aged 20 and nearly kept a clean sheet playing a full-strength Chelsea team.7
-
Has to be better than Miguel Llera and Doherty?3
-
I know its only YouTube, but some of the tackles and headers he is capable of winning make him look like someone who doesn't mind getting stuck in, rather than backing off. Sarr, Bauer and Diarra I think are 3 very strong centre backs to have. Ok he might not be up to Lisbon fans standard, but Sporting Lisbon are a lot bigger than us so their level of standards/expectations would be much higher. if he was too good to come to us he wouldn't have come to us and he would have gone to a much bigger club (possibly premiership). We got him because he is not the finished article yet.
He is only young as well. I am liking the look of the team we are putting together. Will take time to gel (cliché) but I think if we can build this team as a "team" who knows. With the likes of Solly, Cousins, Fox and Jackson to guide them in what is expected commitment wise then the rest is down to them to put the effort in.
Welcome aboard Naby7 -
Not only is Sarr young, Madz, but so are the other players we brought in this summer. I only hope the supporters give them time to settle, if it was one of our academy lads, people would say "they are too young, and must be given time".3
-
With him, Cellabos and Ba signing it looks like we're taking the football manager approach of signing youngsters and bringing them through together... Give it 6 years we will have won the champions league :')6
-
Agree entirely... There's no way you're blaming that on a 20 year old who probably felt his more esteemed defensive partner would have dealt with a simple header without issue.Leuth said:

I mean Mauricio had been a pro a few years longer than Sarr...0 - Sponsored links:

Maybe the sellers are just frustrated we are not using their correct name? They have just tweeted: "we are Sporting Clube de Portugal, not Sporting Lisbon"2

Went to a BBQ with Cahill's missus and kids the other day - just sayingLargeAddick said:
so? He played in the CL early season and then displaced by maybe a better player. Like writing off John Stones who plays only six games this season because Terry and Cahill are ahead of him.dabos said:He's played 6 of Sporting's last 35 games, all in the Portuguese Cup. Obviously Sporting are much better than us so can't expect him to get many games there, but I think we need to contain our excitement a bit here as @AKFABartram says

That's fine but they're not the only sporting club in portugal.Weegie Addick said:Maybe the sellers are just frustrated we are not using their correct name? They have just tweeted: "we are Sporting Clube de Portugal, not Sporting Lisbon"
They are I believe the only professional sporting club in lisbon though.
So I will call them Sporting Lisbon, purely for geographic correctness.1 -
Very happy with this one, would still like another centre back though.1

Spot on. Let's give him a chance. I flopped in bed with a bird once, but I can find at least one other female to back up I can do the businessHenry Irving said:A bit like Ba who didn't quite make it at Sunderland and Big Mak who didn't do it for Palermo we're buying unfulfilled potential.

Can't fight the future
Can't fight what I see
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now

Naby Sarr
From his toes his head is very far
He's sticking out the sunroof of his car OR He has to watch out for the cro-ossbar
Oh I believe in Naby Sarr1 -

Rumours of a buy back clause in the Naby Sarr deal.1

Do those clauses actually exist outside of Football Manager?covered end junior said:Rumours of a buy back clause in the Naby Sarr deal.
