    Great news. Another body up front and another to cover in midfield.

    Shame that the number of subs have been put down to 5. CP will have to pick his subs a lot more carefully this year, Euell being someone you'd want on the bench as he can play two roles. May mean people like Pritchard, Bover and Benson/another striker if we sign one will get limited chances this season unless there's injuries.

    Welcome back - adds experience, talent, goals, and by all accounts good character around the club. He can also help Chrissy explain to the new boys how special our club is.

    Good news, welcome back Jason.

    Played in the prem last year - an old, experience head who we know ' is Charlton' and gives us another option up front.....

    ....what's not to like?

    Still expect to get a nippy, young striker in on loan as well, though.

    Top marks from the Bournemouth jury but where have all the anti- Euell posters gone today? You know, the ones that claim he couldn't trap a bag of cement and chose to overlook his massive contribution to our best period and that he was platying in the Prem' only last year...

    Bizarre but pleasing as I expected this thread to be a lot more mixed than this.

    maybe we are all just happy because it's better than reading about yobbo's rioting

    Certainly nice to be talking about the football again agreed Large.

    Pleased about this signing as players with his experience dont come round too often and of course a firm Charlton favourite. If only Clive Mendonca would suddenly spring a new lease of life all our problems would be solved.

    The thing is, as long as the fitness is there (which Powell was checking on) Euell is a player above the division - He has experience too and has to be a fantastic signing. Maybe we could have brought in a bigger target man, maybe a faster striker but at our level not a better one and for me quality has to always win out. We are looking a very good bet IMO.

    My Dad works with mendonca's niece and she said that he is now a grumpy man who hardly goes out or does much : (

    Yeah very good news, think his experience will be a great addition to the dressing room.

    That is a real shame as he was an excellent striker and a lot of knowledge to pass on through coaching maybe.

    I was unsure about him resigning but have to admit I'm pleased he has. He certainly offers experience and as others have pointed out, he knows the Charlton way.

    Plus he scored 4 in 12 for Doncaster last season. Not bad in the Championship.

    Most important thing is surely the balance of the squad. For example we wouldn't bring in another CM after signing Euell, even if a very good player became available. Pardew made that mistake bringing in Scott Sinclair even though we had several attacking midfielders.

    Euell doesn't fill an obvious gap in the squad, but he still has something to offer. I wouldn't be so sure he's "above the division". I'm sure he'd be useful in the Champ but that doesn't make him too good for this league.

    Chrissy Powell lead the way,

    Back to the Prem where we will stay.

    Hello, I'm still around. But everyone seems so positive I can't bring myself to rain on the parade, besides Jason's such a decent bloke I'll give him a free pass. ;)

    So pleased with this...

    09/10 1-0 down at home 20 minutes to go :- Burton off  Mcleod on Mooney off Mckenzie on

    10/11 1-0 down at home 20 minutes to go :- Benson off Abbott on Martin off Sodje On

    11/12 1-0 down at home 20 minutes to go :- Wright-Phillips off Benson on, Hayes off Euell on

    Which one would you prefer?

    LOL. Well, if he was part of a package that included Messi, i'm sure we'd take the sacrifice

    To be honest I think you'd have a bit of a job getting Messi to sign for us unless you guaranteed him a place in the starting eleven.

    scrap that idea then, he aint good enough for starting line-up.

    I'd prefer the one where we are NOT 1-0 down to be honest......

    Can't Waggy be our 'nippy, young striker' as you all seem to slate him on the wing?
