    He played against us for Pompy, I can remember thinking he was a decent player and is RAPID!

    Lets see his opening statement , when its announced to see if its the same!

    "You only have to look at what has been achieved here and how good the fans are. It was no-brainer coming here."

    Andre Green

    If he can perform how Leko did for the 1st half of the season i'll be delighted.

    Several questions :

    2) How tall is he? - 5ft 11

    3) What foot does he kick mainly with? - Left Peg

    4) Are we shopping in Lidl's or Waitrose? Tesco/Sainsburies

    5) Does he spend half of his life on Twitter?  No

    6) Is he injured already? - Yes, but should be okay to play

    This season all comps: P6 GS1 A0
    Time Played 227mins (Less than three full games)

    His one goal:

    Not heard of him but I hadn't heard of Leko either and he was a great addition to the squad. In Bowyer and Gallen we trust, welcome Andre.

    I think Bow and Gallen look for attributes over "position". With Leko gone we desperately lack someone with pace and trickery who can run at defenders as well as play off the shoulder. If they think Green has those attributes then thats good enough for me.

    Crying out for midfielders and we sign this fella?
    Sounds like a rush job to me because Bonnes agent was getting shitty?

    Bowyer cracking? Hope not.
    What !!!! If anything, we’re crying out for someone to deliver a decent ball into the box. Direct replacement for Leko, IMO. There’ll be a few more signings to come and Williams and Field are pretty close to a return. I hope the £21m injection will go towards buying Cullen amongst others. Chill ...

    isn't Field back to where he was after doing it again in training?

    Sam Field was doing his last day of training at West Brom on Tuesday and his foot got stuck in the grass and he’s tweaked his knee again. He twisted the wrong way and his foot got stuck.

    “He was in normal training, all of his rehab was done but they wanted to give him a couple of days training before they sent him back to us, just so they knew he was all good.

    “He got through the first day and then got injured on the second day.

    “He is having a scan and we’ll see how bad it is.

    Don't think we ever heard more.

    Will Aston Villa let him play in the cup game on Sunday?

    Did anybody mention he is a direct replacement for Leko?  ;)
    If he's as good or better that'll be great.
    Keep 'em coming - several more required.

    I doubt it will matter, neither West Brom or us will risk any players that can help our league statuses. It will West Brom Reserves v Charlton Reserves.

    Our reserves are our first team

    Well we need bodies and IF he can stay fit long enough then he could be useful.

    I just hope he is not seen as our replacement for Lyle Taylor.

    If he was seen as a Lyle replacement (he's definitely not as Bow said he's here to replace Leko), i'd be seriously questioning Bowyer and Gallen.

    I didn't mean Bow and Gallen seeing him as Lyle's replacement but the mad Belgian whom, let us not forget, still owns the Club.

    The Championship is strange.....you get some players who make it at some clubs, while others who big things are expected of....vanish away!

    No, absolutely correct. Fingers crossed.

    Also fairly sure Green's contract is up in June - could be one we think we could sign permanently if his loan goes well.

    Andre Green

    That can definitely be read two ways.

    From my Pompey mate
    had him on loan for first half of last season. Injured for half the loan. Scored winner at Norwich in the Cup. Impact player. Quick but drifts in and out of games. Not sure he will do a job over 90 minutes in Championship. 

    Me, year older and still only 21, very Leko like. Good addition to the squad but not expecting him to set the world on fire. However definitely be 100% behind him! COYA

    Second Charlton player to share a name with me after Bikey. Other than that, won’t know what to make of him until I see him play.
