Players who flopped after leaving us.

Jensen

It was injury which forced Jensen to retire. I don't think that really counts as a "flop" does it? Incidentally I saw him not so long ago in my local hospital in Copenhagen. He and I were both going for an x-ray (seems that he's the same old Claus!).

He is still one of my Charlton heroes mind.

Shouldn't this thread include players who flopped after signing for us?

Andy Reid flopped after leaving. So has Lloyd Sam.

Shelvey flopped it out after leaving us.

Lloyd Sam has just signed another lucrative deal with New York RedBulls playing along side Henry, Cahill, Juninho amongst others now as a person setting out to earn a living as a professional sportsman I dont see that as failing.

I must concede that my grandfather, Fred Lucas, flopped rather badly at Palarse. Ended up rowing with the club over him not being able to play due to a leg injury he sustained. However, is that a bad thing (to flop at *THEM*)?

Thanks for making me feel old!

I watched your grandfather play!.

:-)

Great days fred at inside right and Ronnie White at outside right are they still alive and well

Fred Lucas is alive and well as far as I know but I believe, sadly, Ronnie White passed away a few years back.

Darren Bent Harry Redknapp misses is better lol

Semedo..

Joe McLauchlin a good player? He was toilet despite playing alongside the superb Colin Pates who went on to have a distinguished career in Arsenal reserves.

McLaughlin went to Watford for about 300K, so we lost money on him. He started OK in 89/90 but fell away and was nowhere near the player that Shirtliff had been for the previous three years.

Pates was a huge loss but I don't think we had any choice at the time.

Has Darren Bent been mentioned?

Sasa Ilic. Went on loan to WHU; let in four goals (I think it was four - and all of them his fault) in his only game for them and got sent straight back to us on Monday morning. Hardly played again for CAFC or anyone else, despite spending time at Portsmouth, Barnsley and Blackpool.

didnt he play in the champions league after leaving us though?

Ferencvaros I think. They beat Man Yoo 1-0 in Budapest then bravely went down 6-0 or something in the second leg.

Off the top of my head, Simon Webster is my nominee.


Sasa Illic is now an actor

Bit harsh on Webster, somebody crocked him in training at Wet Spam a few months after he went there and he had to retire, he only played 5 games for them.
