    I think that some people need to take a reality check. This is the level we have to do business at now. I'm sure that Pardew doesn't like it any more than we do but when you don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out there isn't much else you can do.
  • SLP have announced that he's on trial with us.

    Remember a player without a club can be signed permanently outside the transfer window.

    I guess Pards is looking for mature players with top level experience that are still hungry for a last chance.
    Providing they are quick enough and fit enough to do the job.

    He is only 31, like other people have said, if he is fit enough them give him a chance, if not, he can do one.

    [cite]Posted By: WSS[/cite]But Kinsella would be a great manager of the first team...

    I believe it was on here last week that Kins doesn't get much say with regards the formation and tactics - thats down to our resident tactical mastermind Pards

    No harm in giving him a trial, at that age though he's only worth signing if he's obviously an improvement on Youga and Basey.

    Match report is up on the OS

    Grant Basey looks like Usain Bolt pacewise next to Harte.

    Good player in his time but simply too slow these days.

    so we got beat by two goals from Ashley Grimes! Jesus I remember him at luton and that was twenty years ago

    Careful, buckshee - Pards'll be signing him up on loan...experienced, in form, cheap...;-)

    Ian Harte? Even more desperate than when Curbs signed Jesper Blomqvist...
  • I've yet to see a Charlton striker with more class and style than Peter Osgood. Killer was a better finisher but Ossie had the all-round game and was a pleasure to watch week in week out whether he scored or not. Top bloke too.

    Peter Osgood 'top bloke' you are having a laugh of course??

    Ian Harte - In two minds about this. When we signed Mark Bowen, I tought why have we signed this old, past his best, donkey. BUT he turned out to be an inspired signing. Maybe Ian Harte could be our new Mark Bowen, who knows?

    as long as he is fit he could help out with the yuounger members of the squad and 31 32 is not really that old

    Rather someone who has been there and done that wears teh t shirt than lower league players thata re cheap and never played football at this level

    kinsella covering himself in glory at this level. 4 defeats on the spin now.
  • Can we bring in Hartes uncle aswell ?

    And has he got a brother/nephew/cousin or even friend who can play centre forward?

    Ian 'indecisive' Harte pulls out of another move

    Having been dumped by Blackpool over fitness he was on the verge of joining St Mirren until suddenly he had a change of ... tact.

    "I just want to play football. I would be happy to play Championship or First Division football." Eeeek!

    "I just want to play football. I would be happy to play Championship or First Division football.
    Or even push trolleys around asda car park." said Harte yesterday to his local job centre.
  • Signed for AFCB yesterday.

    Good signing for them IMO, bit lot of experience for them, takes a blinding free kick and with Francis bombing forward on the other side* won't be expected to get forward much and can concentrate on defending and organising the back four.

    I'd be surprised if he plays, reckon he'll be cover most of the season. If he does stick Harriott on the right, he'll tear him a new one with his pace.

    As an Irishman, loved Harte for his free-kicks and pens when playing for Ireland. However...he's not exactly gifted at defending (go figure, for a defender) and I would be very happy to see Callum up against him on August 3rd!

    Looks like his made a deal with Bournemouth! shame as we could have done a lot worse than have Harte on a free for the year, same with Kevin Phillips.

    You'd rather have Harte than Wiggins?

    No chance.
    I'd rather we put Solly at LB if Wiggo is out.
    Harte is too old. As a defender you get caught out a lot more for the lack of pace than a striker (phillips)
