Another signing I can barely contain my excitement with.1
-
Someone put his name in the frame when we were waiting with baited breath to see what our confirmed signing would be last week (which turned to be Veljkovic).
Check out his Wikipedia page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christophe_Lepoint. Words like "dynamic", "creative", "prolific" and "talented" don't spring to mind. Word's like "cheap", "Belgian", "average" and "uninspiring" seem depressingly appropriate.
Can I be the first to say "what's le point?".9 -

I find it extremely sad that every player we sign, or are linked with, I have to look him up on google/wiki, as I've never heard of them............

Sorry last one really cant resist...
For Genk it appears this is going to be a point lost... For Charlton though its a point gained and we need all the points we can get

I'm sorry if I have caused any offence and overstepped the mark in starting this thread before Paulie. I accept any punishment deemed suitable by our esteemed moderatorscfgs said:11 -
Is he better than anything we have already got? I very much doubt it. But he fits M.Duchatelet's criteria that he is Belgian and cheap. The transfer window is no longer an event for positive anticipation when our transfer targets have become so stereotyped. We seem to be a home for Belgian footballing waifs and strays. I fear Division One has just edged that little bit closer.2

We need depth in midfield desperately yet people complain when we look to get some.6

Trouble is I have to do that with a lot of English Players as well...tangoflash said:I find it extremely sad that every player we sign, or are linked with, I have to look him up on google/wiki, as I've never heard of them............
Watched Preston v Walsall a few weeks ago on the telly and they were praising the impact of Tom Bradshaw who has scored a ton of goals since joining them - Up until that point had never heard of him1 -
As I said on the rumours thread, I wouldn't pay too much attention to his English wiki page as I doubt it's been updated much. His Dutch one looks a bit more encouraging...MrLargo said:Someone put his name in the frame when we were waiting with baited breath to see what our confirmed signing would be last week (which turned to be Veljkovic).

Goes to show, you should always pay your tax on time.

Yes, I hadn't heard of most of the Powell signings that won us L1, or at most knew little about them.ForeverAddickted said:

Why do we bother having a chief scout when all we seem to do is buy unknown players from Belgium. I think Rolly wants to avoid paying redundancy to Phil Chappell2

Unlike Solly, he doesn't seem to have a problem with his joints, so all good then..........2

Henderson
Ansah
Veljkovic
Coq from Arsenal
Etheridge
Chappie must've had something to do with getting those players.

I think he will be a good signing (if it happens).0

Perhaps Roland's just thinking about raising our profile with the tabloid headline writers..."Watt's Le Point", "Missing Le Point", "Charlton still Pointless after 6 games", etc, etc?4
-
Sounds like he's been a bit of a basket case, wild child and rebel without a cause.
But he's also aggressive, creative and a box-to-box midfielder.
That ticks a few boxes.
He's also played in various leagues outside of Belgium, so not fazed by coming here.
Plenty of experience in top flight Belgian football, played a couple of times at senior level for his country and plenty of junior international football.
There's sufficient pedigree.
If his attitude is good, he could be an experienced and very useful acquisition.

Do you think his chant will be
'You're just a shit Yoni Buyens'2 -
Kermorgant is a good lesson in not relying too much on stats, but then we knew Powell knew his qualities. We have no idea who's making these decisions or what their credentials are to judge players for the English game and in particular the Championship.
The big worry for me in his record this season is that of his 12 starts he's been subbed in 6 of them. You might conclude he's been crap or he's a sicknote, but probably simplistic.
Assuming RD isn't going to throw any proper money at these signings, you have to ask why Gent are so happy to part with Lepoint. (For Gent and Lepoint, you can substitute Sporting and Sarr, etc etc).2
