Saw him in a pre-season friendly v Swansea at the Valley just after he signed and thought he looked good. But he never seemed able to replicate that performance when it mattered. The club have done well to unload him. I doubt that there's a fee involved and hopefully we're not covering part of his wages either.
Was Alonso falling over the ball in the 3rd division.
Worse player since Tony Towner who just put corners straight out for goal kicks.
Towner is an interesting example of a player who didnt perform for us although let's remember he was a very decent player for Millwall and Rotherham and played in the top flight for Wolves
My favourite Con McG moment was when he looked absolutely furious having scored a last minute equaliser away at the league leaders, fuck was that all about? 🤣
Up there for worst player ever seen in a Charlton shirt
Have you supported the club a long time , there have been a lot lot worse that I have seen since the 1960’s . The club has been even more shit in the sandgaard years hardly any players have been good enough in this period

Er perhaps it was all the abuse that he received from all of our supporters all the time don’t worry you can guarantee he will have a good game against us and probably score .
He wasn't even close to being the worst player in the squad last season. Got injured, didn't pull up any trees, in a few seasons we'll have forgotten him. I wish him well but if we can't do better, we aren't going up.
Lincoln have a good midfield, unless there will soon be a departure or two, I'm surprised they want him back .. BUT of course you get the case of a player who is great at one club and shite everywhere else
It's not a great loss. He showed little glimpses, but as everyone else has said, he was just injured so much that he was pretty much always either out or working his way back to fitness.
His goal against Pompey was great. Not a lot else to go on.
Good luck to him. This is one where I think we should do better.

Bar online where I have seen people say they don't rate him I can't say I've heard people abuse him in the same way Charlie Kirk was for example, might have missed it but bar people being unenthusiastic about him I can't remember him getting jeered, booed or cheered as a sub like Charlie was.
Got injured in their last game of season. Hopefully all good now
I noticed that - knee ligament damage, dunno what the prognosis is.
The above was from June 22 when we signed him.
I had bad vibes then as it seemed significant to me - he hadn't really been tested in match conditions - plus Charlton have a bad habit in taking risks with injured players.
Anyway, we'll never really know, but he certainly didn't live up to expectations.

I'll see myself out...
Glad to see our recruitment is as good as ever.
