You do know that the European Championship, involving the 24 best INTERNATIONAL teams on the continent, is a SLIGHTLY higher standard than League 1?
Yeah he played half an hour for a team which won one game against the worst team in the tournament for a country with a population of 1.8m and no squad depth as someone to run around a little bit and chase down opposing defenders on the ball.
Simon Church had a run out for a team who made the semi finals lets get him back.
And how many games did Simon Church play for us in League 1?
Sounds like he's do a job for the striker next to him, Good job leaburn isn't about now... Half the twats that follow us would want him bombed out for not scoring 25 goals a season. 100k is peanuts and worth a punt at this level
And that would be different from when Leaburn was around how?
I'd never heard of Akpo Sodje or Pawal Abbot before they signed for us so hopefully this chap can go on to be equally as successful for us if he joins.
Kevin Foley signed a deal on Friday that will initially run until January.
Foley is a right-back who can also operate as a holding midfielder.
Foley is not the player Russell Slade was referring to on Thursday, when he said a deal could be completed on Friday. That deal looks certain to be completed early next week.
The Addicks are reported to have made a £100,000 bid for Kilmarnock's Northern Ireland international striker, Josh Mcgennis.
Mcgennis made substitute appearances in the European Championships, and would provide good back-up to Nicky Ajose and Lee Novak.
Charlton announced their squad numbers for the forthcoming campaign on Friday.
Kevin Foley was given the number 2 shirt, Nicky Ajose will wear 10, Ricky Holmes 11, and Lee Novak opted for 30.
Roger Johnson moves to number 6, Ademola Lookman to 7, and Ahmed Kashi moves down to 25.
Youngsters Regan Charles-Cook, Mikhail Kennedy, Terrell Thomas and Josh Umerah have dropped out of the list, and surprisingly, Brandon Hanlan has not been given a number.
Jorge Teixeira has retained the number 50 shirt, which tends to indicate that the Portuguese defender's departure is imminent.
Pearce Tex Probably off Bauer Lenton Johnson Konsa
Holmes A.N. Other Foley could be last resort here?
Harriot Lookman (as long as they both stay)
kashi -can't count as long term inj Diarra - ditto Crofts Jackson A.N. Other box to box Gobern? Thompson? A.N. Other creative Ba Muldoon Charlie-Charles
Novak A.N. Other Ajose Hanlan Umerah KAG Kennedy
Have I missed anyone?
So to me an ideal world would be 6 more.
In reality. Phillips would be no2 even if it's not the best for his development. Foley will cover 3 positions and we will get 1 CM and 1 striker. That will see is comfortable and with luck we can challenge higher but to be sure of challenging I want all of those in.
So Foley in covers RB. But Harriott out.
So in an ideal world 1 keeper, 2 wingers (3 if lookman goes), 2 CM and 1 striker.
Absolute minimum for me 1 striker, 1 winger, 2 CM.
Phillips can be back up even though a year long loan to league 2 would be best for his development. I am willing to use young players (KAG/Kennedy/THD) out wide if need be. Need 3 senior strikers no matter how good your kids are. And CM needs sorting 100%.
We need to give Oscar Godern a contract as well as the midfielder signing hopefully in the next 48 hours! Today's midfield by the sounds of it was very old! Foley as back up not first choice! And I hate to say it Jackson! Left winger! Yes 5 years ago but not now!
The system we played today, laurie Wilson would have been ideal.
Saw him in the Bolton team today before the matches all started. First thought was how we desperately need someone like him now.
Wasn't fantastic but was alright, I guess you don't know what you got till its gone. Wilson would've drove us forward, showed determination and worked hard. Him in front of Solly and Holmes on the left if he wasn't going to start Lookman, would be ideal for us in the current situation.

Come on you reds.
With Bury having a white home strip anyone know what we will be wearing?
Purple?
The amount of completely bellend posts we get on here is staggering. You know absolutely nothing about this player just like the rest of us.
Suspect he may go out on loan.

Slade said one more in next 48 hours.
Bearing in mind we are still haggling over this guy, the one more must be Thompson? Any thoughts Redhenry?
