Who do you recall being the first ever player to come to our club with a great record only to be Charltonized and turn sh*t when playing for us?

    I'm sure there were more before him but the first that springs to mind for me was Neil Redfearn. Scored loads for Barnsley and was great for them. Came to us and i think he scored about 3-4 goals all season.

    would have to be an American player if they were "Charltonized"

    Now if they were "Charltonised" then Mosky Mills

    Rommedahl was the first player I remember being called 'Charltonised'.

    To be fair he was about 40 when we spunked £1m on him.

    Bradley Allen was a bit of a disappointment too

    Was well-liked and successful at Bradford after he left us, don't think you can blame it on age. He just couldn't come to terms with our sophisticated Southern ways - it's rumoured that he spent his first CAFC paycheck on a horse and cart to get him to and from training, and received a formal warning from Greenwich Council after his neighbours complained about him crapping in the garden and forcing his children to wash in a tin bath on the driveway.

    Jones had only played at (then) Division 3 or below level and we signed him for a club record fee to play in Division one - was a real gamble at the time.

    McLaughlin (also a record signing) was absolute toilet. I seem to remember in his first 3 games we didn't concede, after that he became truely Charltonised.

    Barnes is harsh. He did ok in his 12 games (probably only started 5) Had a great game at West Ham and calmed us right down in the 4-3 win at Villa.

    Peter Parsley, 26 goals in 48 appearances for De Grafshaap and ringing endorsement from Underpants Boy. How could it have gone so horribly wrong?

    Johnny Ostergaard - was excited that we had signed a Danish international. The problem was that he was an international at ice hockey.

    A classic. Good for Dundee Utd, shit for us, then goes to Bristol City and does enough to join Man Utd (and score against us - I think?)

    Didn't Sir Alex say that Milne was his worst ever buy? Which is some going seeing as he also signed Taibi and Bebe.

    He was ok, but I had bigger expectations of him. Jeffers was a disapointment for sure.
