Never get this mentality, it means we don't waste money on transfer fees, and you get a player who 90% of the time is looking to play football and isn't happy to sit on the bench, and if the player is good enough it can lead to a permanent deal afterwards.
You also can get a player who is looking just to stay or get fit and gives 10% effort while his agent looks and touts him around because he can't, for whatever reason, get a game at the club who owns his registration. In the last ten years we have had literally dozens of that type and so few of the type you describe I'm struggling to name one success.
Why would he do that when he's here for a whole season? I get that can be the case for month long loans but I believe he's out of contract next summer. If it doesn't work out here he probably won't stay in English football. He he does well he should have some interest from clubs in both League One and the Championship next summer.

It also means we go through all of this yet again next summer. Where's the long-term strategy in rebuilding the squad every year?

Sounds like he's drinking in the last chance saloon. But we are certainly in no position to be picking the prize players.
I admit that I am blowing very hot and cold at the moment. That's what comes from supporting Charlton. My last contribution wanted an all out boycott..now I would just like to see a win and some signs of a team emerging. OK, these two signings aren't top players, but what do you expect for a League One club with serious fan problems? At least they were promised and they have happened. Please some light now!!
We all know player videos are unreliable. However, he looks like he has more skill and pace than any player we currently have, so let's keep an open mind and hope he's a success.

Agreed, I think it's safe to say he has something we don't currently have. I like that it's a loan deal. Low risk if he continues to struggle to settle here. If he does settle, could be ours next year. Hopefully there's a built in clause.
He looks like a player that will get the crowd on their feet. Inevitably he'll get kicked by some lower league bruising center half (by which I mean Roger Johnson in training), but hopefully he can hold his own and keep running at people. An exiting signing for me. Potential upside is high.

Never heard of him but Slade seems to rate him so that will do.
Clearly has some skill and pace but the question is can he do it consistently in league 1?
We don't know so we'll have to wait and find out.
Going to be a bit crowded out there with Holmes playing there as well.
