The Roland era signings all got tarred with the same brushkillerjerrylee said:When Eddie Firmani arrived in the UK from South Africa as a young player in 1950, he was allowed a year to settle in and acclimatize to the UK conditions before Jimmy Seed concluded he was ready for a run in the first team.

Marko Dmitrović is another who's gone on to do really well for himself

According to Morgan Fox and Joe Pigott the first words of English Nego said was ?
"not Right back, me midfielder"
This was said in 2014 in Mijas, Spain at the Golf complex, where Cafc were going to do some pre season training under the new head coach Big Bob Peeters and his coaches; also play two friendlies against a team from Gibralter and Portugal.
Loic Nego who was 22ish, spoke hardly any English and was as thin as a rake and from memory did play in midfield in one game because a young 16 year old played at RB and just glided over the ground and looked Class ; Welcome to adult football Joe Gomez.
Nego played one game for Cafc in that Wigan match and with Solly when fit, Wilson and young Gomez who's agent put pressure on Cafc to play him more when he made his debut, Nego was at the wrong club at the wrong time and it's amazing that his best football has been since he reached 28 two years ago.
Trouble with some Charlton fans they have a competion to see who can call a player or the team "dog shit" first.
Thurman was equally bad with his feet and hands which isn't a good attribute to have when you are a keeper !
A real mixed bag of players turned up at that time at cafc and Ironic that the black Frenchman, Nego moved to Rehérvár and ended up in the Hungarian national team.
Football and it every changing fortunes.5 -
Works the other way too - some of the Roland signings could have been decent given time and slow integration, but they were chucked in and expected to firstly replace decent outgoing players like Morrison, Yann, Dale Stephens etc, and also expected to play too much given the small squad size.killerjerrylee said:When Eddie Firmani arrived in the UK from South Africa as a young player in 1950, he was allowed a year to settle in and acclimatize to the UK conditions before Jimmy Seed concluded he was ready for a run in the first team.

"anyone but Roland"0

Loic has done alright for himself but I don't think he was what we needed at the time. The guy is 30 years old now and no doubt peaking late.
I'd argue the same for a lot of the similar style RD signings. They probably had potential but were we really going to keep them for 4-5 years to see it materialise, and would they be able to help in an EFL promotion push in the meantime?1 -
From BBC tonight "England's lack of freshness was exposed as Hungary troubled them on the flanks, especially the gifted Loic Nego, and through the middle, where tired legs were exploited throughout."

Another "one that got away".
(That's a joke by the way!)

we got a mention on the radio commentary - “Charlton fans may remember him…”3

Given his performances for his club side, playing in the Champions league, playing well for his country, i'm surprised he's actually still playing in Hungary.

Thought he was very effective yesterday, put in a number of first time crosses that had England on the back foot.0

Nego has a really sound all-round game. He can do the defensive work (v England at Wembley, didn't he nullify Grealish?) And he can do the offensive stuff too with clever runs, good delivery and a few goals.
I'm surprised too that he hasn't played a higher level, elsewhere in Europe.

I’m just glad we got to see one of the Hungarian stars of the future.12

When Loic Nego came to Cafc, we had the conveyor belt of players coming in and they were good, the bad and the ugly. Nego said, "Me no full back". Loic always saw himself as an attacking midfielder playing wide on the right. Then with the advent of the wing backs, he found his niche. As we saw last night in both halves, similar to Shaw in the Euros Nego spends more time attacking when the opposition are poor and he isn't forced back. Saka came on at HT to get behind Nego or force him back and at first that worked but not for long and England were not at the races and played in their flip flops.
There is no correlation between being considered a failure at Cafc and having a good career when you leave. Just ask Simon Francis.2
