Always looks to get forward and quickly. Given those traits he is more likely to run into trouble or misplace a pass. There is a very good player in there. Only young. Downside is alleged lack of English.
He's going to be a star of 2016/17. He will still get caught in possession sometimes and he'll make some suicidal passes but he's going to provide the creative moments we so badly need. He may often be on a different wavelength but sometimes that's a good thing. He will do the unexpected. He'll go past players and create space. POTY - you heard it here first.
As I've said previously reminds me of one of those football table games in the arcades at the seaside where you smack the player on the head and his leg comes out to kick the ball.
In preseason last year I thought he looked the best of the new recruits. Was very poor in a poor side but may well be a far better player in a team full of confidence... Not us then.
Freaky player, never looks like he has the ball under control yet sometimes gets past 2-3 players. But I think my comment of 'Bambi being Tasered' sums up his technique pretty well
He's one of the dregs from last season. Needs to be moved on. For our sake and his
If we moved on the dregs from last season, I fear we'd end up with four first teamers and a bunch of kids.
I think that's what we would've had but for the token signings so far. I'll be honest, I would've cut deeper.
Harriott - he will never make it with us. I'd go as far as to say he may actually only be capable of consistency at league 2 level. I'm not interested in keeping him around on the off chance we see 1 piece of brilliance every 25 games. I don't think league 1 is suddenly going to mean a 10 goal a season and loads of assists. I think it means more silly step overs and cul de sacs
Ba - shit. A hangover from a shit season
Bergdich - hopefully he's gone awol but chosen awol the film with Jean Claude van Damme and is being hunted in the streets of New Orleans (on the right hand side of the road so he can't utilise his strong left foot). Actually, as I type that, I realise I'm talking about Hard Target starring Jean Claude van Damme, not AWOL
Ceballos - thanks for the corner at Derby, another powder puff player from last season's horror show. I wonder if Barca had a buy back clause
Johnson - angry, aggressive, slow, Coke taking booze hound. Just what you need at the Rock of your defence
These 5 flirting in and around the first team isn't ideal for me. I believe there are better players out there.
Yes, I think he'll come good. He is very technically gifted, and there's something of a poor man's Yaya Toure about his driving runs. I think with some proper coaching (which I'll bet he didn't receive last year), and a solid midfield partner (Diarra, Kashi), he could be a standout player.

Tbf Harriott was superb at Colchester on loan last season. I think I'm right in saying, they were top half, until we recalled him & then they plunged to relegation.
Obviously, not all his doing, but he certainly helped them bang in quite a few goals at the start of the season, which dried up when he left.
Mind you, I do get the feeling that Charlton may be too big a club for him.
Ba has got some quality and creativity in his game but his physical ability and resilience was very poor on several occasions last season. A classic example was at Wednesday - he had a very good first half but then completely ran out of steam after about an hour, leaving Diarra to try and cover a huge amount of ground, as Wednesday swarmed all over us.
If Ba stays and wants to give it a go, I hope that he can adjust better this season and that Slade can get the best out of him, as it would be like a new signing. We certainly need players in central midfield who can run with the ball and open up the opposition.
Charlton wouldn't be Charlton without slagging a player or two off even if we haven't seen much of them. Ba and Johnson look like being this season candidates before a ball is kicked. It's pathetic really.
Comments
I can confirm he either likes to wear them tight or he's lacking in upper body strength.
I also know from not talking to him at the POTY "do", that his English is very poor (or was a few months ago).
He literally couldn't understand what I was saying & Bergditch had to translate.
Cue jokes ..........
