Agree and Diarra can play in midfield while we actually have cover.JS5 said:Need to get behind him. If we have Bauer Johnson Diarra as options at CBs we become a lot stronger.
And as others have said younger players such as Fox looked much better with the likes of Johnson coaching them during the game.
Yes, this is another example of the "weird" recruitment policy but that's not Roger's fault.
Welcome back.
You wouldnt really want both Poyet and Diarra alongside each other as thats far too Defensive minded, the below is the only way it would work (Unless you drop Cousins to the bench for another incoming Midfielder)
Henderson
Solly ... Sarr ... Johnson ... Fox
Poyet ... Diarra
Gudmundsson ... Cousins ... Harriott

So what happens if our *new* manager doesn't want him?4

I'm ok with this ... he is worth having in the squad3

Without doubt... Poyet is the perfect replacement for Ahmed Kashi, get him back in the summer too means we'd have Kashi / Poyet along with an aging Diarra who isnt getting any younger (and who is Out of Contract in the Summer)Henry Irving said:

We all like the Manager to have a selection headache but with Karel Fraeye you could see it just confusing him anymore, just expect to hear a tanoy announcement @ 3pm against Blackburn stating that the game has been delayed because he cant make up his mind on team selection7 -
Him and Bauer could work really well.
Pleased with this.0 -
Sarr? You're not serious, are you?Henry Irving said:

Blimey, a one legged, half crippled Rhys Williams would be a huge improvement over Sarr.2 -
Might even make Sarr a bitter player with an experienced CB along side him. Fox was twice the player with Johnson along side him.3

Don't get too excited. Fraeye will play him at left wing or in goal12
-
I thought he did ok last season. It's not easy to come in mid-season and make an impact, but I think he did that initially last time. Hopefully it will be the same again. With Poyet on DM duties, it should make a difference. Our defending has been so poor throughout the team, we needed some bite in midfield.1

Decent enough signing should have kept him, management is a shambles8

Rog & Joe Gomez were a great partnership last season.1
-
youth players and cheap imports from sept-Jan, out of contract, ageing English players in January. Didn't realise it would be the same out of contract, ageing English players every January.

Is it now club policy you have to have played here before to be signed? Looking forward to Clive Mendonca's return.1
-
Glad to see him back, but it does look a bit of a shambles, not offering him a deal in the summer, only to offer him 18 months now.0

Did he want to stay at the end of last season? Perhaps he was asking too much? Just playing devil's advocate because the outrage over everything that comes out about the club at the moment (even when it's quite good news) is very tiresome.1

Johnson was keen to extend his stay at The Valley but, was not offered a new contract.0 -

think he'll be a good influence....again.
must confess, the regime is winning me back with its cock-eyed, backtracking, dimwitted, couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery methodology.10 -

Keen to have him - but 18 month deal looks excessive.
We are obviously already planning for L11 -

I hope he got as much as possible out of them.0

Absolute shambles. Not deemed good enough 6 months ago. Now an 18 month contract. They really ARE clueless.7

The usual January scramble to pick up loan players and anyone out of contract or who can fill the cracks in the squad in an effort to cling on to our Championship status. Hardly encouraging!! RD, KM, KF OUTlooking forward to the next protest and forcing these incompetent jokers to get on the next transport back to Belgium. WE desperately need a new owner, decent CEO, new Manager with Championship experience, and a Chief Scout or Director Of Football (preferably Curbs)We want our Charlton back!!1

I imagine he wouldn't have signed unless he was offered 18 months.10

This is how I understood it. We messed him about in the summer so he's not signing a second time unless we give him the second season up front.covered end junior said:I imagine he wouldn't have signed unless he was offered 18 months.

I don't get it.
Like, my opinion of signing Roger Johnson* is secondary to my complete bewilderment at the club's transfer "policy".
It's like they're playing cowpat bingo but with random player names rather than numbers in the squares.
*[personally - can't be worse than what we've got]0 -
Starting to get a sinking feeling that the discussions about Powell returning to the club are actually about him playing at left back.
I liked Roger last season. He came in and was exactly what we needed at the time, but he faded as the season went on. I've got no issue with him joining up and helping out the defence, but what it says about our scouting policy at the moment is far more of a concern.12 -
Welcome back Roger2
