Looks like Washington has actually played 277, scoring 58 (0.209 GPG)
I would just like to point out that there is a former international striker of ours available who scored 49 career goals in 283 appearances. He was renowned for his clean striking of a football and even earned a Brazilian nickname such was the level of his skill. I'm sure we could persuade him to come out of retirement for much less than Washington is going to cost.
And yes I can't believe that he's still only 31 either.

Anyone else notice that we did not relay the whole pitch this season? something I am pretty sure we did almost every season with RD. That pitch isn't going to look so great half way through the season I feel.
That being said the short turn around could have played a part in that.0 -

Replacement signing for Hemed - genius!
Replacement signing for Taylor - Screwed!1 -

Then again, I'm judging against the football I saw this season, which is a much better standard than League One.
He is one of the most one-footed footballers I have seen, judging by this video, with the exception of the penultimate goal (I think it's the only time he used his left foot!):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxI1QxMqdt4
He has an instinct for movement in the box, and doesn't mind running at defenders, but a lack of game time in the last couple of seasons is a bit of a concern. I don't know how fit he is at the moment and I don't know how interested he is in the game. But in Bowyer and Gallen I trust, if this move is on the cards. I think the rumour has legs: we're a pretty specific club for the Daily Record to link him with given they're a Scottish paper.

As I have said previously, sadly that is the pond we are fishing in - we are in no position to be choosy
2015/2016 - 46
2016/2017 - 43
2017/2018 - 34
2018/2019 - 22 (Did he just fail to get into a promotion winning Sheffield Utd's team?)
2019/2020 - 21 (Out three months with a hamstring injury and season ended early because of Covid)
So I think you are wrong. I don't see anything in the above to suggest he has a proven injury record, he just happened to have an injury last season. Having one injury doesn't make you injury prone.
I actually agree about the goals, my original comment was a joke about not using his left foot. That being said, I still think he's a decent signing at this level.
He's played 9 hours of football since last August and hasn't kicked a ball for five months either. Wait 'til he has a pre-season with us and he'll soon be Charltonised!
He's had one injury, are you saying we can only sign players who have never been injured? Or did you just read about his one injury and come to the stupid conclusion he was prone to them?
Should we survive then the likes of Washington is the sort of player we will be signing - someone who played 9 hours of football last season, has not kicked a ball in anger for five months and scored 10 goals in the last 3 seasons from 75 appearances i.e. an average of barely 3 goals from 25 appearances per season. That is his recent history. Not what he did 4 seasons ago.
So, again, I apologise for the "stupid conclusion" but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating and I sincerely hopes that if he signs for us he gets us 20 plus goals and plays more than 40 games. I hope you will understand that I won't be putting any money on him doing so though!
At least expectations will be low.
You never know though. Look at Hemed, La Liga experience, Premier league experience, international striker, decent scoring record for Brighton. Everyone was delighted when he signed and look how that went.0 -
Washington and Gilbert deals rejected by the EFL0

Did anyone seriously think they wouldn’t be rejected? We’re fucked until Farnell and his motley band of c***y cohorts do one and (hopefully) sell on to someone who will be able to get transfers over the line.2 -

Captian Cleanshorts in at #2.
Greg Alfordi #3.
ive had plenty of people try and claim tags I’ve given some of Charlton’s infamous in the past (Geordie Smiler for example) but I’m claiming this one .
i even met him pissed in a club in London and he introduced himself as Spongefoot , I didn’t have the heart/bottle to tell him it was yours truly who had coined him that appropriate name , nice fella as well .

Interesting that Bowyer and Gallen said we wanted him last summer but couldn't get it over the line.

Its what I like about Gallen, doesnt take risks, makes sure its the right player before we sign them9 -

I liked his short interview on the OS, usual statements but also a little joke about our media team.0
