    Can someone please explain the Roussillon situation? From memory he's played half a u21 game against Preston U21 on 2nd December and then 70 minutes against Ipswich U21 on 22nd December.

    He's 33 and last played for Guadeloupe in June!

    He was on the bench for 4 games and didn't play a single minute!

    Not featured in the match squad since Oxford!

    I presume we are paying him right?

    Now I understand he might not have been fit, but WHAT is the point of all of this when we have been crying out for a left-wingback throughout December!

    Now we are nearly half-way through the transfer window and unless something changes in the next couple of days we are going to have to deal with Apter or TC at left-wing back on Saturday.

    All in here ->  https://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/100961/jerome-roussillon-signs-on-a-short-term-deal
    We need to win at least one of the next two games. At this rate it’s going to be difficult & should we struggle we’ll be in the bottom three. Not sure if we’ve got time on our hands to fix a few deadline loans. 
    Well no, should we struggle in the next two games and Pompey beat Wednesday and Watford AND Norwich beat Wrexham and West Brom AND Blackburn get two points off Ipswich and Swansea then we'll be in the bottom three.

    Love how you've used data that completely goes against your argument.

    If he's in the 93rd percentile of championship forwards for goals per 90 mins, that means he's better than 93% of the league in that stat, meaning he's a better "bagsman" than almost all of the league

    What's basic about signing a player that has interest from various other clubs, and clubs that are above us in the table?

    Tom Lawrence’s impressive start to life in Australia has alerted a number of Championship clubs, with Norwich CityBlackburn Rovers and Charlton Athletic all monitoring the midfielder’s situation following his short-term move to Perth Glory.

    Lawrence, who joined the A-League side on a short-term deal, has made an immediate impact. 

    In just nine appearances, the former Wales international has registered seven goal contributions and picked up three Man of the Match awards, quickly establishing himself as one of the standout performers in the league.

    Norwich City’s interest is understood to be influenced by Lawrence’s previous working relationship with former Rangers manager, Philippe Clement, while Blackburn Rovers - a club where he previously spent time on loan - are also tracking his progress. 

    Charlton Athletic are another potential suitor, with head coach Nathan Jones’ Welsh connection believed to be a factor.

    Perth Glory are reportedly keen to reward Lawrence’s form with a longer-term contract, but sources suggest they may struggle to compete financially should Championship clubs firm up their interest.

    Wouldn’t mind lawerence at all. The fact that our manager is Welsh surely isn’t a factor at all. Crap journalism that.

    In footballing terms think most would describe this as basic. He’s an average footballer at best barring in mind he hardly tore up league 1 either. True, Birmingham are a big club but he’s not getting game time hence his move. Think the player and our budget are in aligned.

    Right, and we aren't the only club interested or the only ones talking to his reps, couldn't be any less basic.

    I think we should be looking at creative players, one of the biggest reasons we don't score is because we don't create anything. Wingbacks who can't cross and a midfield who would get a nose bleed if they passed forward. You can buy Dykes, Mijonisisjxnxjndh or even Messi strikers will struggle in this side.

    I can’t see us being in for Lawrence. We have too many number 10s as it is. 

    To me that article is most likely his agent trying to up his contract offer from Perth, or drive up some interest and offers elsewhere,  rather than it being concrete interest from us. Always wary when an article links 3 clubs, this feels like the usual number for agent bait/clickbait stories

    Nardin played for our sister club in Slovenia, Maribor.

    Would be an excellent addition to our squad.
    Did you say that when Polish Pete joined ?
    Polish Pete has never played in Slovenia?
    Brought from Dutch second division and what a crap league that is.

    Can We not buy someone that is fit and has championship experience ,and still have a few years left in him .Please Nathan.

    Once you are down there it is hrd to escape. I hope the management team are taking this into ccount if they send us into the next few games with two fit defenders (and Gillesphey)

    Dykes would be good cover for Leaburn but doubt we attract him on loan without a promise to play him. I trust Jones but I'd rather have Leaburn, I would at least want to see evidence that his recent imrovement at the level is a flash in the pan!

    as Nathan Jones looks to add extra firepower to his side” not sure his stats support that statement.

    Look at these crosses from left wingback Lucas Mauragis, especially the one at 1min 30

    He’s only played 420 minutes so far this season. Leaburn would still be first choice but Dykes will probably appear in every game and also start quite a few too. He’d also probably get more starts for us than he would for the other teams interested in him, or than he would be staying at Birmingham. If he wants a decent amount of championship football we are probably his best bet

    Tom Lawrence only has 7 work rate in FM, NJ would have filtered him out when he first set up his player search screen 🙂
