Going back to pre-season, given the choice of Green or Leko I would have taken Green every time - more first-team experience, more goals, more versatility. Can't understand some of the negativity about this signing. And I say this after Leko's done pretty well for us.
I think, given our current circumstances, the negativity relates to his injury record rather than his footballing ability.
Bad news he's done his Metacarpal I the two bones in his Metacarpal III and his Metacarpal V is pretty bruised... typical the medical team compounded it by shutting his injured hand in the door!
I get the joke but Leko is not shit. Thought Green was ok today but ok is not what we need
I like the first sentence. Leko was good. He certainly has more pace and tricky skills then Green. However Green (so far) seems to have better decision making skills, and certainly reads the game better.
Green looked good today and will improve. Well played Andre and welcome to Charlton.
Sounds like another player we will make 2x-3x as valuable as when he arrived. Frankly, we should start charging clubs for loans instead of paying for them.
He was very good today. Different to Leko. Prefers to play a bit deeper and run with the ball with a bit more space infront of him. He caused them problems. Impressed with him.

Wind it in mate, you've got enough likes today, and I am not going to give you anymore even if I do agree with your post.

Thanks to Bowyer, JJ and the rest of the coaching team, I think Gallen can bring in talent that does get better while here.
Which is why we are now thinking about perms because uh you know that’s how it works

Can only echo this. Very pleased with Green today, was intelligent in his play and showed some very classy touches whilst beating his man on numerous occasions. He also got wiped out by the dirty Sawyers when it looked a very promising break.
My girlfriend also made a good point today too, he’s the type of player that would work really well alongside Taylor.
The boy looked pretty rapid. We should be pretty dangerous on the break with him, Doughty, and Williams in the team.
I wouldn’t extrapolate too much from one performance but he did some good things today. Work rate was good and earned himself a booking sticking up for Gallagher near the end suggesting he’s buying into the tram spirit already.
Great tekkers as the kids say. V impressed with his close control and showed great vision at times. We need to get on his wavelength and he needs match fitness - totally knackered at the end. Liked what I saw overall.
Green looks more direct than Leko, Leko maybe has more skill but tends to dribble into dead ends. I can see Green creating a few chances if other players get into the box

Green is a class player that doesn't have to have his head down looking at the ball to see where it is. Therefore, he can see what's going on around him and make a pass accordingly.
Leko runs with his head down and doesn't generally know who is available to pass to.
Mind you, it doesn't mean that Green will do better for us than Leko.
