    Says on the club website that he is a "perfect fit". Let's hope he stays perfectly fit.
    Welcome Chris.

    Looks like they've just done the announcement from his Wales squad hotel room
    Yeah, the club are fed up with having to read all the moaners on CL saying we haven't signed 6 or 7 players yet.

    Anything to keep us happy.  :smile:

    Hope you remember to add @DICKIE PLUMB (?) as green on your IDK list after he mentioned he'd seen Chris @ Sparrows Lane

    Done, and it's now on the OS here:

    Surely ensures too that any Charlton games get postponed over International Weekends what with having four that can be called up

    Means if either Williams or Levitt are injured or out of form then we've still got the necessary three to get a game called off

    "Yeah but we need a striker blah blah wibble"

    Not spectacular but a solid, experienced defender from a higher level.

    Pleased he's here.

    Ironically, I had literally just typed "Also on Monday, the BBC website published a piece saying that Chris Gunter was set to join us having been released by Reading - this has yet to be confirmed as of Wednesday night" in last night's bitesize, so I'm going to have to go back and change that now...

    Exactly. Why are we signing a right back right now?

    We should be signing a striker first! :smile:

    Current Wales international, 97 caps, " ...... he’s definitely too good for L1."

    Does he qualify as another "raised eyebrow" signing?

    Beyond signing a good player in his own right it bodes well for the approach and standard of the Sandgaard era transfer approach.
    In prior windows Matthews not signing would leave us scrambling for a has-been or an unproven loanee as a stop-gap, or playing Barker every game out of position. Now we have added experience and reliability to the defence without any real decline in quality.
    Obviously the striker situation still needs sorting, but this is more evidence that Gallen and Bowyer do know what they're doing and are working on solutions.

    Why is he wearing the shirt and also holding up the shirt?

    It's a 2 year deal with option for a 3rd year.

    I wonder how much of the wage cap it takes up  - and whether the contract is structured to contain an increase in wages if promotion is achieved this season?

    That'll stop the ESIv3/Bowyer out posts for a couple of hours. Welcome to the club Chris.

    Forgot to bring Scarfy.

    Olly said to him, "Here's another shirt, that'll do, they'll never notice".

    2 years with the option of a third is so refreshing, even if he is north of 30.

    That'll be the end of Matthews then, if he doesn't get a Championship move I can see him signing for a promotion rival

    Great signing but really the worst kept secret ever, 
    at least it is now official

    Except on the transfer rumours thread.  Hardly caused a ripple there.
