    Certainly one of the best defensive fullbacks in the division. Most wingers will lose their battle

    Happy enough with this. A very early contract renewal by his standards

    That's RB ticked off the list, two good options at this level. Glad he's stayed

    Glad he’s staying and it’s sorted earlier than previous seasons. He takes a little while to get going so with a full pre-season for the first time in 2 years he should really hit the ground running.

    a proper solid right back, very glad he's stayed

    Technically I think this is now his third stint at the club. Obviously not too sure about signing up without exploring his options, which is fine, and not keen on a second season in League One, hence the one year. All that makes sense to me and we've done well to get him back considering how good he's been for us at Championship and L1 level. Good signing

    Better than Gunter in my opinion. 
    Although rather than having both of these players I would have preferred a younger right back as competition for Gunter

    Really happy about this. He has become one of my favourite players.

    I remember when he signed he said his partner was London based so geographically we were a good fit. 

    Why only one year? Hopefully a longer deal can be negotiated during the season.

    very good news, really rate Matthews. Wish it had been a longer deal though.

    Matthews and Gunter is fine as the 2 right backs for a league 1 team, and means if we do get promoted we can both negotiate, whether he's happy to stay, probably as back up at that point, or he decides to move on.

    Closed for the England game.

    Great news. I wasn't his biggest fan to start with, but he got better and better over time. One of my favourite players now. A year kinda makes sense. He may have had offers from championship clubs, but wanted to stay local for family reasons. If we go up then we can renegotiate, if we don't then he's free to look around...again! Another important position ticked off. COYA

    Excellent news, very very good RB at this level and with a full pre season in him I expect him to be a top performer next season.

    Very good news, think he's a great player. Some of his crossing last season was top drawer and will be vital for finding Stockleys big head.

    Thought he was very inconsistent last season.  Good player but had some poor performances not helped by the players in front of him.

    Glad he has signed.

    Awaits moans about:

    Why didn't he sign earlier?

    Only a year?

    Rebuilding last years failed team

    I wanted signings but not this one

    We need midfielders not full backs




    Only the usual suspects Henry.
    Matthews is a solid performer and does show we are one of the better payers in League 1 ( behind Wigan and Ipswich?)

    I'm convinced that like an iceberg there is a lot we don't see on the surface and Steve, Thomas, Nigel and JJ are using their vast network of contacts to built the best squad possible within what ever budget Thomas has made available.

    Time is of the essence but we are getting there despite midfield playmaker to give Morgan competition and another striker to make four with Stockley, Washington and I presume Ronnie Schwartz to get through a 46 game season.

    With the winger apparently failing a medical a replacement for Millar is still being searched for.

    Agree but think he improved getting a run of games under Nigel

    “I said from the end of last season I wanted to stay at Charlton,” Matthews, 29, told the club’s official website. “I spoke to the manager a couple of times and he seems to really want me here, so that’s always a good sign.

    Addicks owner Thomas Sandgaard said: “I am delighted we’ve been able to bring Adam back to The Valley.

    “I was very impressed with the way he played after the arrival of Nigel Adkins, so I’m excited to see him back at Charlton this season.”


    @roseandcrown is Thomas Sandgaard and I claim my £10

    Matthews has been one of my fav players the last couple of years, really glad he has signed for this year it must have been a tough decision if he did have the lakes of Cardiff talking to him

    Yes, Nigel used him as the first choice RB

    It will be interesting how we use Gunter this season, reserve RB or right CB in a 3, which is where he played for Wales in the Euros

    Why didn't he sign earlier? Only a year? Clearly a lack of commitment. 

    It seems like we're just rebuilding a team the same as last year's failed attempt at promotion.

    I wanted signings but not this one - another full-back? We need midfielders not full-backs.

    Good news, I was hoping he’d stay. I prefer him over Gunter.
