Not enough aggression for me in any of his play. Also never seen him kick the ball more than 20 metres. Good luck to him getting a move back up North and in the Championship.
Slow, no tricks, can't hit the ball very hard (generally an asset you want as a footballer), no left foot, can't head it, doesn't work hard. This is not someone we want to change our system for him to fit in for. Not the lads fault but we should never have bought him in the first place.
Very surprised we’ve included the option to make the deal permanent. If he does well at Blackpool surely we’ll want him back, and if he doesn’t they won’t want him anyway?
I think it's a deal that works well for Blackpool. If he does well then they won't want to be competing against other teams to make him permanent so they'll have first refusal, and that works for us too to encourage them to complete the deal. If he doesn't do well then no-one's buying him anyway and we're stuck regardless. I don't think there's any way back for Kirk now, and I don't think we've ever seen a pplayer for Charlton come back from being in this sort of situation

Naby?
That's a fair one, though it did take us dropping down a league and he still never really established himself as first choice. We'll always have the memories though
Imagine having a manager who brings players in to fit his system of playing......instead of just signing players & then trying to shoehorn them into your team.
One day Rodders, one day.....
That’s exactly why we’ve got rid of Charlie Kirk and brought in Castillo and John.

I imagine Blackpool may have insisted on the option to buy?
I want him to be brilliant for Blackpool, brilliant. The reason is pretty obvious. C’mon Charlie, six goals before the end of the season, and ten assists please.

we all know, or at least have a nasty feeling, that he'll be a big success at Blackpool
Bet he isn’t.
I know that he never got much of a chance with us (and I hate writing players off after so few games) but, even in that short space of time he did so little of impact that I can’t see him succeeding elsewhere.
Most of his success has been in League two and it is worth watching his You Tube reel to note how terrible the defending is for a lot of his big moments. A not very pacy one footed winger who constantly looks to cut inside is going to be found out pretty quickly in the Championship.
Happy to be proven wrong but I suspect he’ll back with us and being talked up again next pre-season.

Martin Sandgaard was brought in specifically to help Kirk with this…
Charlie Kirk's missus seemingly endorsing this comment
What a rubbish tweet. Know nothing of his personal situation whatsoever so how has he been sent packing without a care in the world? He’s closer to home at a club in the league above- a move he would have probably snapped up anyway if given the choice. And, if that is his missus, I would imagine she’d have the hump because he hasn’t been playing.
I know things aren’t great but people really can’t wait to have a pop at the club at the moment.
Kirk: 5 months into a 4 year deal and goes out on loan to a club in a division above us. 500,000
Schwartz: 8 months into a 2 and half year deal and goes back to Denmark.
That Black box can be thrown in the Thames and the club needs to go back to old school football scouting.
And neither were last minute panic buys, plucked out of nowhere. BOTH had been long term targets, that we wanted to buy in the window before the one we actually bought them in. So we had PLENTY of time to analyse their qualities and whether they would fit in to our style of football, and indeed on a personal level to life away from home.
Really worrying that 2 major buys can fail so badly.

must be our most expensive signing in years ??

We're talking about a bloke who looked out of his depth against Havant & Waterlooville.
Just cottoned on. Has he really gone? Devastated, a bonafied legend, a great miss. This season cannot get worse!

Further backs the point then doesn't it? Done it once in 5 months against a side 3 divisions below.
