And I liked Harriot too. Was instrumental in our 3-2 comeback win away to Sheff Wed (Sordell 3)
I was sad it didn't work out for Harriot. He really suffered coming into such a disfunctional side but his talent shone through during some impressive spells.
I watched us vs Guyana last night. Doesn’t look his style of play has changed at all. One minute he looks fantastic and the next he looks terrible. His quickness was causing the opposing fullbacks problems but he still had the 18 step overs while going nowhere and a few crosses that were 5 meters too high.
Will hold my hands up and admit i wasn't too enthusiastic about his return as i felt his better days were behind him (which could still prove to be true), but given how he has performed in pre-season and add that to our desperate need to sign players, i think he's worth a 1 year deal.
From the limited bits i've seen of pre-season he's looked one of our better players. Just hope it's not just because he's eager for a deal, and that if we do sign him he actually continues to play well.

There has never been any issue with his ability, it was more about his consistency and footballing brain. Add that to his injury record since he left us then is he worth a punt?
I’d be looking at a deal until the new year and if he plays a certain amount of games between now and then extend it for another 6 or 18 months.
Didn’t look great at shooting one on one with the keeper before the game in the warmup, the amount of shots that skied over the bar and were not even on target ,was embarrassing for a professional, forgot that he seriously lacks composure, but perhaps he’s the best we can get on this budget?
* Nailed on to bang in a hat trick on Saturday now I’ve said that!
Always liked Harriout, remember well his 2 goals against Watford kept us up, then the hatrick at Blackpool the following week. Sadly he's probably all that we can afford at this stage thanks to RD!

Thought he looked ok in his cameo yesterday. Still wants to get at people and run at them but also looked for the pass. Also tracked back few times. In the position we are in, it’s a yes from me
I thought Harriot did quite well at times in his cameo against Villa.
Some good pass and go touches- and his movement to get to the byeline, quick reaction to retrieve the loose ball and square across the goal line should have resulted in a second Charlton goal, if only Purrington had stayed on his feet at the far post.
No other Charlton player showed that penetration on Saturday.

Here's one I bet some have forgotten (and I'd have back)
Milos Veljkovic
Currently at Werder Bremen....9 caps for Serbia.
And talking of Slav players....I'd have Astrit Ajdarevic back too.
We signed him on loan from Bolton; played 31-games scored 7-goals in total

Callum_Messi has very decent ability on the ball, if only his reading of the game had been better.
There is a player in there, though.
Wish him all the best with his next move.
0-0 after 25 mins against the US in Minneapolis.
If not then this could be a great way to put him in the window even for MLS clubs
Spurs loanee was Milos Veljkovic in 2015. Been at Werder Bremen since Feb 2016.
As he seems to have shrunk since he left Charlton, I'm afraid he doesn't pass the CL height test.

Looking back I did find it strange how he got a lot more minutes than Bonne yesterday
