He's from outside the UK so will surely need some sort of work permit regardless
He's also a full International having played eight games for Jamaica now, so cant see it being an issue - If he was someone with zero International experience then it would probably be a slight concern, but doubt we'd be bothering if we knew it would be a problem.
This is where I'm at - I doubt we'd be going to the effort of trying to sign him if we didn't think it would be straightforward for him to get a work permit sorted. Sounds like someone that would easily qualify under the GBE rules anyway as a full international.
I don't know about that, I think we've been here before (can't remember who though. Too many players came and go).
Christian ceballos was on trial. Think he was Costa Rican. He got turned down. saw him play a pre season friendly v NZ if I remember correctly.
Does anyone know or heard anything about this Begovic rumour?
Another day, same 'joke'.
Another day pages of repetitive posts, all repeating what others have already said, with almost next to no substance or foundation.
If you don’t like repetitive posts, then why do you keep making the same repetitive “joke” and posts. Do what I do Ignore them.
Oh bugger.
I’m simply responding to @talal and his comment about my repetitive posts, this whole thread is repetitive, don’t see him complaining about that?
I usually just scroll on but you do it so often and don't seem to contribute anything else so I'm wondering what the point is?
That just about sums up the majority of posts on this thread @talal
I, like everyone else, come on this thread hoping beyond hope, that there's a rumour and occasionally there is.
I'm not ITK and most on here aren't either, so, whats the point in posting waffle and just clogging up the thread with shite, and I'm not the first to say that.
You have not had one like to support your comments this afternoon to any of your posts. The posts explaining how much you are pissing people off have loads of likes. Surely just surely you can see many people are just sick of your nonsense? Please just don't open the thread and let the rest of us get on with it. Please.
You clearly haven’t looked closely.
Everyone says the same about golfie and ronnie, doesn’t stop them posting. Nor will it stop me.
As everyone keeps saying if you don’t like a post don’t read it.
Permits I don’t believe will be an issue, all the boxes ticked, more of awaiting the official paperwork. The club didn’t want this one out earlier, have extremely high hopes, only negative will carry a high sell on value, they feel can make good money on him
Dare I suggest that this potentially is a big success for Charlie Methven, and the connections he's created with Jamaica?

Ironically he's a player that was not at Mount Pleasant. His coach in Jamaica contacted us and said "he should be playing in Europe". Now why did he contact us? Is it because we are breaking ground over there with the academy?
Charlie and Bert Dawkins went over there to represent the club and clearly made an impression. I met the owner of Mount Pleasant at the Wyvombe game and she was a lovely lady. It's a fabulous charity and there are synergies with University of Greenwich planned for the future I believe
For all the shit this club has done in the past dozen years - it really does feel we are turning a corner and it would be REALLY good if the fans could get behind initiatives like the one in Jamaica as well as all the other stuff going on.

Ronnie is a troll, I wouldn’t use him as a comparison point. I don’t think anyone is saying stop posting full stop, but if you could stop posting the same shit joke every day that would be great. It wasn’t a great one the first time but it’s quite boring now. Get a new bit
Was at the training ground earlier dropping off the eldest for CACT summer camp, and Tracey Leaburn was stood on the phone trying to find someone who was lost, or she had a Deliveroo rider gone stray with her MaccieDees breakfast

Probably miles, seeing he hasn’t been there for so long

Could we be getting our Charlton back?
That's exactly what I was thinking. That the wider connections with Jamaican football we are creating will give us a significant advantage in making signings from there, if we're at a similar level to the rival clubs after players.
I'm sure if Liverpool or similar tried to sign him in 2002 they'd have got him no questions asked. Cristian Bolanos was another, bizarrely played for us against the New Zealand national team
“In August 2002, Santos agreed to join English Premier League club Charlton Athletic. But he was denied a work permit by the Home Office because he had not made the minimum number of national team appearances required for players from outside the European Union and returned to Shimizu for the remainder of the season.”

Dixon coming in from Arnett Gardens. They also have a young lad who plays for them with a surname "King" (Amarlie). We had a trialist for our U18 on tour in Jamaica called King. Maybe the same? Wonder if he is being looked at too.

Gutted we got neither at the time both went on to have pretty good careers.
This Dixon fella sounds exciting. Love a obscure transfer, they'll either be total crap or amazing. I think the squad needs a bit of a livewire to get people exited hopefully this is the fella to do it

Could only see the backs of the goalies, and one looked like Begovic.
Pretty funny really.
