    Why does he need international clearance? Or is it a FIFA thing rather than an immigration thing?

    You need international clearance if you move from a Welsh league club to an English league club.

    Standard thing for any cross border transfer despite him being British.



  • Not sure how it works as hasn't he played for Ghana?

    Certainly got in their squad. But I think this is about football registration rather than government regulations

    Good luck mate, you deserve another crack in the UK
  • yeah i liked dicko. first touch not good enough for championship or higher. movement and finishing are.

    and let him use "da, skeen, rudeboy" whatever. no different from any other dialect, like a yorkshire or somerset variation. spice of life and all that. chris dickson is a decent fella and he doesnt cross the line from cheeky chappy to downright skank, like nile ranger.
  • btw, thats no criticism on your comment VG. each to their own

    expecting that this is a wind up, but i was just stating that i dont see anything wrong with a black lad from London talking a bit of that jive. in fact you can be black, white or purple...if u feel an affinity with an area then its up to you if you want to adopt those collequialisms.

    i can also understand how people can get frustrated by it and also it can cross the line and descend into aggressive and illiterate rubbish.

    Oh, we're well used to aggressive and illiterate rubbish on Charlton Life.

    Said a few times when other Charlton fans said we should sign him on a free transfer this summer he is league 2 quality at best works in that league but no higher

    I'd wager he'd score more goals than either Church or Sordell.

    His record while at Charlton suggests otherwise.

    Hope so, another promotion for Hamlet would be excellent (Currently 2nd in Ryman Prem)

    Just remind me how many games did he start & how many mins on the pitch did he have in the 2-3 yrs he was with us.

    I seem to recall that Parky preferred to have Tamer Tuna on the bench (and never brought him on once) for at least a dozen games one season to Dickson. As far as I'm aware the lad has given up football having not kicked a ball in anger since playing for Erith Town.

    Dicko wasn't given a run in the side and in hindsight probably didn't do himself too many favours at times but deserved a better opportunity than he got. The same might also be said for Jonjo and Randolph but, perhaps, I shouldn't open that "can of worms" - or wear a tin hat at least.

    Chris Dickson? Do me a favour - I'd rather have Barbara Dickson. Callum Harriott, falling over the ball like a child; Bradley Pritchard, chasing around for the ball that he himself has lost; Joe Pigott, blasting a penalty in to Row Z at Dartford.

    You may like all this hapless stuff. When Donny Rovers pitched up at The Valley, they weren't thinking "Oh, I don't like our chairman because he won't shell out" - they scored three times within 23 minutes, sliced us apart with simple, incisive, rehearsed moves.

    What exactly goes on at Sparrows Lane?
